Raptor's Challenge | Acheron Mammoths

Prepare yourself for the fourth and final high-level Slayer monster as part of November's Raptor's Challenge: Acheron mammoths!

Head to Gielinor's frozen north with your best gear to take on the Acheron mammoths!

Be sure to check them out this week to make the most of the remaining double Slayer XP!

Will you be brave enough to take them on? Read on for further details, or play now!

Acheron Mammoths were an excellent RuneLabs suggestion made by Adelunth and will be the last Slayer mob to be added to Raptor's Challenge.

Start by travelling to the coast north-east (and outside) of Rellekka, north of the lodestone. By the rock crabs, you'll find two boats: use the larger one to sail to an ancient iceberg, where you’ll discover a herd of Acheron mammoths.

These territorial beasts will pose a real threat to any adventurer who dares to face them. If they have you in their sights, get out of the way fast or you'll see nine tons of tusks, bones and fur coming for you with their charge attack!

Survive a fight with them and you may be awarded with a mammoth tusk which can be used to summon a baby pack mammoth (99 Summoning required). They may be small, but they're the best beasts of burden in the game, holding a whopping 32 slots of mammothy haulage!

Make sure you keep an eye out for that fourth and final key part! Piece your keys together and – finally - redeem your loot from Raptor's chest. It's packed to the brim with Slayer-related goodies – and more – so be sure to pop the lock if you can!

Have Fun!

This is the final slayer monster of Raptor's Challenge! We hope you enjoy taking down the Acheron mammoths and return to test yourself against them in future. Enjoy, and let us know your thoughts over on the forums.

Read the patch notes for further detail of today's updates.

I haven't even got round to doing the Living Wyverns yet.. Really can't wait to get myself tucked in to PvM. >: )

Currently heard these guys have the same problems as the other three sadly. Obviously I haven't done them yet, but most seem unhappy with all of these releases.

I've had a slayer task of the other three, but haven't tried these yet. I really do like the mechanics and designs of the new mobs, they're very unique - however, as everyone else says, they're simply not worth it with such terrible drops. The only thing that might be able to save it is the Raptor's chest. Has anyone heard what's in it yet?

I guess this is the reward + 750 slayer points. Not sure, saw on reddit.

The 750 slayer points isn't too bad, and I like that they included VIP tickets. I only wish the GP aspect would have been a bit better. Although, I assume it's a random assortment from a drop table, so maybe the potential is much higher.
