Animated Adamant Armour is found in the Warriors' Guild. They can be killed to earn Warrior guild tokens, which can be used to enter the Cyclops Room on the upper floor. Players can create this monster by putting an adamant full helmet, adamant platebody and adamant platelegs on the magical animator on the ground floor^[UK]1^st floor^[US]. The animated armour will drop the full armour set most of the time.

Weaknesses

Animated Adamant Armour is weak to crushing weapons, though any melee weapon will suffice at higher levels. An abyssal whip can perform fairly well against it if paired with Enhanced excalibur or an off-hand dragon mace. The Saradomin sword is also a good choice for those with 75 Attack or higher.

Another good way to fight the Animated Adamant Armour is by using a halberd. You can use any type of halberd (as long as you have the required stats). After the armour spawns, run to the opposite side of the platform it spawned from, and then to the side you have not run past already. The Animated Armour will be trapped next to the platform, which you can stand on the opposite side of and attack the armour without taking any damage.

Trivia

• Unlike other animated armours in the Warriors' Guild, the Animated Adamant Armour uses a two handed sword while others use a longsword. It is also the only animated armour other than Animated Iron Armour and Animated Bronze Armour that uses a slashing attack.
• Prior to the Evolution of Combat, the two-handed sword the animated armour uses had the same attacking speed of a dagger.
• This is probably the best one to train on, as its armour is cheap and easy to replace as compared to much more expensive Rune Armour (especially if the player has level 88 or higher Smithing) and it gives more tokens than Mithril. However, it all boils down to the personal preference of the player.
• It has a helmet with a green plume, rather than the dark blue plume normal adamant full helms have.
• Sometimes, when low on health, the animated adamant armour will become non aggressive, and walk about the room, and will remain unaggressive even if the player attacks it.
• Prior to an update on 18 August 2014, Animated Adamant Armour was weak to water spells, even though players could not use magic against it.
• The spring cleaner will not break down the armour it drops into its original components, nor is it able to convert it to bonus experience.
