Runescape Quest: Smoking Kills

Please note: This post is outdated. Some information may be invalid.

Aha, my first quest “guide”! The reason I quote that is because the following won’t be much of a guide, really just a brief descritpion of the new quest, Smoking Kills.

Start point: Pollnivneach

25 crafting

35 slayer

85+ Combat

I mostly only have tips for this quest, but they are very helpful.

When searching for the tomb of the dead slayer master, go far south of the agility pyramid, THEN go east. I have saw many players whilst doing this quest having difficulties locating the tomb. If you look on the world map it is like a marshy area east of the desert.

Beware of the enemies here! Most of the higher level ones hit higher than you would expect.

When you arrive on the plateau before the dungeon there is a small trickle of water near the campers: you can fill your waterskins here.

While killing banshees in the well near the end of the quest, if you get a Banshee Voice drop immediately run for the northernmost barrier and click it, for sitting around screwing off will cause you to waste hp, which you need for the boss right past the barrier.

When fighting the banshee queen, protect mage until she tells her minions to attack you, then switch to range, since they hit much harder than she does.

Now for the Rewards! 😀

Also, if you right click Sumona (aka the devourer for those who enjoy quests >:D) and click ‘Rewards’ you’ll notice some new things with this slayer master,

That’s all I have to say, wish I made an actual guide but oh well hope it helped!
