The entrance to the Catacombs.

The experiments left by Dragith.

The Lumbridge Catacombs are a free-to-play dungeon that was released along with The Blood Pact quest. The entrance to the catacombs is located in Lumbridge cemetery. The catacombs have been the burial grounds of the Lumbridge church since approximately the 130th year of the Fifth Age. The dungeon is designed for low-level players and features unique monsters that drop parts of the Mask of Dragith Nurn.

The Blood Pact must be completed in order to be able to access the lower level of the dungeon where the monsters roam.

Official Description

“

Mourners who visit the graveyard at Lumbridge do so to pay their respects to loved ones and leave gifts for the departed. Little do they know that, underneath the graveyard, twisting catacombs teem with undead and mutilated beings. Long ago, the necromancer Dragith Nurn took it upon himself to experiment with life and death, defiling the bodies of creatures that he could find. His experiments with death and dark magic created hideously foul monstrosities. Corrupting the course of life and death eventually took its toll on Dragith Nurn. The realisation that he too would one day be doomed to rise from his grave when he died hit him hard. With the stark reality of his actions hitting home, he buried himself and his experiments alive beneath the graveyard, hoping to seal away his transgressions forever more, to forget what he had done… Only scattered references to the legend of Dragith Nurn remain. For decades, his catacombs lay dormant, undisturbed and disassociated from the land above, until three Zamorakian cultists arrived at Lumbridge, intent on breaking the magic seal that has kept Dragith Nurn locked away.

Upper and middle level

These two levels are only important for The Blood Pact. During the quest, the upper level must be navigated to reach the middle level. After the quest is completed, a shortcut opens; simply go down the stairs immediately west of the entrance once you enter the upper level of the catacombs. This leads to another sets of stairs in the middle level that leads to the lower level.

Lower level

The large dungeon is made up of a series of rooms linked by short corridors. The first room contains warped cockroaches, which are level 1. As you progress through the dungeon the rooms contain monsters of increasing combat levels, ranging from 1 to 21. This makes the lower level an efficient and effective training location for new and low-level players, as the monsters found within are easy to kill, do not hit particularly high, and boast valuable drops relative to their combat level.

The final room contains Dragith Nurn. To summon Dragith Nurn, the player is required to touch the pedestal holding the Diamond demon statuette. Dragith Nurn will appear, and can then be fought. A flashing yellow arrow indicates which Dragith Nurn is required to be killed. There is no limit to how many times Dragith Nurn can be summoned or killed.

Statuettes

Six statuettes are found in the dungeon:

• Jade demon statuette - (100 coins)
• Topaz demon statuette - (200 coins)
• Sapphire demon statuette - (300 coins)
• Emerald demon statuette - (400 coins)
• Ruby demon statuette - (500 coins)

Xenia will offer to buy the statuettes for a total of 2500 coins.
