Lumbridge Swamp Dungeon is a dank and miserable series of tunnels, filled with a variety of equally dank and miserable creatures. No one is sure just how far the caves extend, and with cave goblins known to be Mining in the area, they could prove to be far vaster than ever previously thought.
This place is not all misery and dreariness, though. Within the maze of tunnels is a place sacred to Guthix and guarded by a serpent that may be older than recorded history.
Location
Lumbridge Swamp Dungeon can be found by descending through the hole in Lumbridge Swamp. You should bring a light source with you, ideally one without a naked flame as these could cause the gas in the dungeon to explode.
It can also be accessed from Lumbridge Castle's basement once you've progressed far enough through the Lost Tribe quest. You'll need to go into the goblin caves north of the Swamp Dungeon to use a pickaxe to tunnel through a blocked hole between the two dungeons. When you've done this you will be able to go through the hole whenever you like.
Getting There
Use a rope with the Dark Hole to enter the caves (note you only need to use a rope with it once). If you wish to navigate the cave you will need a lightsource. The better the lightsource the more light it gives off and the less likely it will ignite the swamp gas. The swamp gas, if ignited, can explode and cause your character a lot of recurring damage which may even kill you.
Sources of Light
Candle: Candles are the worst form of light. They easily ignite the swamp gas and provide little light. You will need level 1 firemaking to light a candle.
Candle Lantern: Candle Lanterns are a step up from the basic candle. They provide a little more light and are less likely to ignite the swamp gas. Candle Lanterns require level 4 firemaking to light.
Oil Lamp: Oil lamps are an average form of the light. They are brighter than Candle Lanterns, but the open flame makes them more vulnerable to the swamp gas. Level 12 firemaking is needed to light this lamp.
Oil Lantern: Oil Lanterns are brighter than Oil Lamps and are less likely to cause an explosion. You will need level 26 firemaking to like these.
Bullseye Lantern: Bullseye Lanterns are the best type available. The light up the entire cave and very rarely, if ever, cause swamp gas explosions. 49 Firemaking is required to light these lanterns.
Points of Interest
Lumbridge Swamp Dungeon, despite being quite miserable, has a number of options open to adventurers. There are a few places to go Fishing and a good number of monsters are targets of Slayer assignments. The entry point to the Tears of Guthix quest and the Tears of Guthix minigame that follows is also located on the southern edge of the dungeon.
