Dark warriors are found in the Dark Warriors' Fortress, which is a castle in level 18 to 21 Wilderness north-west of Edgeville. The dark warriors are inside of the castle, which is surrounded by a moat. They are usually more of a nuisance than an actual threat to players and have higher defence than their combat level suggests. Dark warriors are known to have for their unique, albeit uncommon drop of black maces. They are aggressive regardless of a player's level, and leaving the fortress or logging into a different world will cause them to be aggressive again.

Dark warriors have been in their castle in the Wilderness since Runescape Classic, yet there has been no quest objective involving them as of yet. Not much is known about them; however, they are most likely affiliated with the Kinshra due to the fact that Elite dark warriors, mages, and rangers can be found guarding alongside Elite black knights in the Black Knights' Catacombs under the Black Knights' Fortress

Trivia

• Unlike the Black Knights, dark warriors have yet to receive a graphical update to their armour. They seem to be equipped with a dirty version of an iron helm, iron platebody, iron platelegs, leather gloves, and Leather boots.
