Royal Titans

The Royal Titans are here! Grab a friend and go toe-to-toe with these gigantic foes, or else their elemental influence could engulf all of Gielinor. Alternatively, if you've got a bit of a hero streak, leave the friend at home and go it alone - but know that Branda and Eldric won't go easy on you!

The Royal Titans is a dual-boss encounter where you'll be tasked with taking on Branda, Queen of Fire and Eldric, King of Frost. Branda is expanding her empire of flame from beneath the Karamjan volcano, but she's on a collision course with Eldric's icy throne. To take them on, you'll want to head to the north-west of the Asgarnia Ice Dungeon and use the small cave next to the giant throne of ice (you can't miss it). Agile players can also use a shortcut just west of the entrance ladder to get there in a pinch.

Get up close to the Royal Titans in this wonderful video, put together by the equally wonderful OnlyTrails!

By the way, we’d love to hear your feedback about this style of video. Since the Royal Titans is designed to be a ‘teaching’ boss encounter, we felt comfortable showing off more of the gameplay than we usually would. Are we striking the right balance, or oversharing? Let us know!

This encounter should get you more familiar with gear switching. Rapidly switching between combat styles is a component of many endgame encounters and can feel daunting to learn, so we're building on the success of updates like Scurrius and Perilous Moons to introduce players to another important part of your PvM toolkit.

Having said that, this fight is a definite step up from the likes of Scurrius, so we'd 70+ combat and suitable gear for all three styles, such as the Perilous Moons gear, Black Dragonhide, Mystic Robes, and Abyssal Whip, a Rune Crossbow… or whatever else you’re comfortable with!

Here’s how you can use each combat style against the Titans:

Melee: your bread and butter. Both Branda and Eldric are weak to Melee, so whenever you have the chance to get up close and personal, you should take it.
Ranged: your time saver. Occasionally, the Titans will step out of Melee range or be inaccessible. You can of course wait them out, but you'd be better off bringing a Ranged switch (even if it's only a weapon and nothing else) to speed up those kills.
Magic: your control. Throughout the fight, you'll be bombarded with walls of flame, pillars of ice, and nasty minions matching the Titans' elements. You'll need Magic to manage the arena and keep on top of minions. Elemental Weaknesses come into play here, so make sure to bring the right runes for the job…

You’ll be switching like a pro in no time, and soon you’ll be able to tackle more challenging content like Zulrah, Nex, the Phantom Muspah, or even Raids!

In the arena, you’ll be able to join a friend’s instance in much the same way as you’d enter their Player-Owned House. Right-click the entrance cave, select ‘Join a fight’ and enter your friend’s character name. Afterwards, you’ll be able to click on the last name you entered, but you’ll be able to do multiple kills in one trip.

Note though that no more than two people can take on the Titans at once.

Royal Titans Rewards

The Royal Titans have more unique rewards than regular loot, and they’re geared towards the player levels we’re targeting. This means they’re unlikely to be significant moneymakers, but the regular loot will certainly stack up as your kill times improve!

Importantly, you can only loot from one of the Titans per trip. If you’re in a duo, you and your friend can loot the same Titan, or different ones.

Twinflame Staff

The Twinflame Staff is a tradeable, one-handed staff. It’s made from a regular battlestaff and two unique components dropped by Eldric and Branda, respectively. Every piece is tradeable.

If your target has an Elemental Weakness, the Twinflame Staff will automatically select the element that they're weak to and let you cast the appropriate spell without navigating your spellbook. The keen-eyed among you may notice that this will be especially useful when fighting the Royal Titans themselves!

More interestingly, this staff is a slow, heavy hitter, firing off spells every 6 ticks (3.6 seconds) instead of the usual 5 ticks (3 seconds). To compensate, we've given it an echo effect where any Bolt, Blast or Wave spell that you cast instead fires off two projectiles. The first hit rolls from 0 to 100% of your maximum hit, as you'd expect. The second hit lands a tick (0.6 seconds) after the first and deals 40% of the first hit's damage, rounded down. This slower attack speed gives the Twinflame Staff a weighty feeling, while resulting in less lost DPS if you happen to miss a tick or two.

This weapon shines against foes with Elemental Weaknesses, especially if you don’t have a Harmonised Nightmare Staff. When you’re done with the Titans, you might like to take it to Zulrah…

Deadeye Prayer Scroll

Up next is the first of two untradeable Prayer scrolls. Looting Eldric will give you a shot at obtaining the Deadeye Prayer Scroll, which can be used to unlock Deadeye, a new Ranged prayer that overrides Eagle Eye and serves as a bridge between Eagle Eye and Rigour. Deadeye requires Level 62 Prayer, and while active will provide +18% Ranged Attack, +18% Ranged Strength and +5% Defence. You can use this alongside Steel Skin if you're in need of extra Defence, and the table below shows how it stacks up against other Ranged Prayers:

Prayer(s)	Ranged Attack %	Ranged Strength %	Defence %	Prayer Requirement	Drain rate	Account progression unlock timing
Hawk Eye + Rock Skin	10	10	10	26	1 point per 3 seconds	Very early game
Eagle Eye	15	15	0	44	1 point per 3 seconds	Early game
Eagle Eye + Steel Skin	15	15	0 + 15	44	1 point per 1.5 seconds	Early game
Deadeye	18	18	5	62	1 point per 3 seconds	Mid game
Deadeye + Steel Skin	18	18	5 + 15	62	1 point per 1.5 seconds	Mid game
Rigour	20	23	25	74	1 point per 1.5 seconds	Late game

Mystic Vigour Prayer Scroll

By looting Branda, you'll gain a chance to obtain the untradeable Mystic Vigour Prayer Scroll, which you can use to unlock Mystic Vigour. Mystic Vigour overrides Mystic Might and bridges the gap between Mystic Might and Augury. You'll need Level 63 Prayer to activate Mystic Vigour, and while active you'll gain +18% Magic Attack, +3% Magic Damage and +5% Defence. Just like Deadeye, this can be used alongside Steel Skin. Here's another table to show you how Mystic Vigour stacks up:

Prayer(s)	Magic Attack/Defence %	Magic Damage %	Defence %	Prayer Requirement	Drain rate	Account progression unlock timing
Mystic Lore + Rock Skin	10	1	10	26	1 point per 3 seconds	Very early game
Mystic Might	15	2	0	44	1 point per 3 seconds	Early game
Mystic Might + Steel Skin	15	2	15	44	1 point per 1.5 seconds	Early game
Mystic Vigour	18	3	5	63	1 point per 3 seconds	Mid game
Mystic Vigour + Steel Skin	18	3	5 + 15	63	1 point per 1.5 seconds	Mid game
Augury	25	4	25	77	1 point per 1.5 seconds	Late game

Giantsoul Amulet

If you thirst for more giant blood, the Giantsoul Amulet will be a welcome pickup!

This untradeable teleportation amulet can be obtained from both of the Royal Titans. When charged with Big Bones and Law Runes, you can use it to teleport to the Royal Titans’ arena, Obor’s lair, or Bryophyta’s lair. No beanstalk required!

Desiccated Pages

Desiccated Pages are magically imbued pages that have sadly crumbled to dust. Don’t worry though – you can recycle them into Burnt, Soaked, or Soiled Pages instead.

These uncommon, untradeable drops can be obtained from either Titan. If you’re a proper page fan, you can also use the ‘Take Pages’ option to sacrifice any other loot (excluding the pet) and guarantee a bundle of ‘em.

In short, this is a combat-focused way to target-farm Pages. That also means that you can get a bit Tome-happy during the fight, or whenever you’re using your new Twinflame Staff.

To transform your Desiccated Pages, take them to the new plinths in Arceuus, the Ruins of Unkah, and south of Quetzacalli Gorge. You'll need level 50 Runecraft to convert your pages, and you’ll receive a spot of Runecraft XP in the process.

Pet

The Royal Titans have a pet! We’ll let you discover what it looks like for yourselves.

Just like with Araxxor, you’ll be able to forego all loot and double your chances to obtain the pet by using the ‘Sacrifice’ option on either one of the Titans once they’ve been subdued.

Sum Up

To summarize:

Head to the north-western portion of the Asgarnia Ice Dungeon to take on the Royal Titans.
Don’t forget to bring a friend!
Bring decent gear in all three Combat styles and be prepared to switch between them throughout the fight. Branda and Eldric aren't exactly pushovers, so we'd advise at least 70+ in your Combat stats and gear to match.
Take on the Titans.
Score sick loot like a brand-new Elemental Weakness-focused staff, untradeable Prayers to aid you ahead of unlocking Rigour and Augury, handy teleportation options, pages for your elemental Tomes and a cute pet to show off to your pals!
Repeat!

In case you want to team up, we've set up some worlds with the Activity 'Royal Titans'!

USE = 573
USW = 324
EU = 328
UK = 567

We'll see you in Asgarnia. Until then, stay frosty!
