Killing Fiyr Shades - Extremely High Level
Category: Combat
Subcategory: Melee
General Description: Killing fiyr shades in the shade tomb in Mort'ton. A pack yak is used to carry extra remains to the bank (level 96 Summoning required.)
Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success
General Description
Fiyr remains are used in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. Cremating them using pyre logs gives gold and keys that can be used to get rewards from the chests in the shade tombs. Different shades occupy various areas of the tombs, with fiyr shades the highest type (combat level 120). Since players like the Firemaking XP and Prayer XP from cremating, as well as the rewards, the remains dropped by high-level shades sell for a good amount on the Grand Exchange. Fighting them can thus be a good moneymaker, as well as being a nice way of training combat stats.
To access the fiyr shades you will need a silver shade key. To get one, purchase a couple of fiyr remains yourself and then pyre them until you get a key (the remains are tradeable but the keys are not.)
These are a bit tough to fight with level 70 skills but not bad at all at level 90+. At level 96 Summoning, the pack yak lets you collect a large number of remains on each trip, improving your efficiency considerably.
Note that you should always use a Salve amulet(e) for these, as they are undead.
Specific Method Details
Get to Burgh de Rott by taking the shortcut from Canifis to Mort'ton and then heading south. At the bank, equip standard melee gear and your Salve amulet(e). Take out a 3-dose super set, your shade key, a pack yak pouch, one 3-dose energy potion (to restore energy used up during the prior run back from the tombs) and a load of salmon.
To get to the shades, run north out of Burgh de Rott, continuing to the center of Mort'ton. Bear northwest and continue up to the tomb doors and enter. Head south, open the steel door, and continue south as far as you can. Use your potion as needed to restore run energy. Run west to the silver door, open it, and you'll be in a small room with fiyr shadows (the dark circles) floating around. They turn into shades if you attack them or if they attack (they are aggressive.)
There are not very many fiyr shades. The best place to fight them is in the middle of their area, next to the room that has two shades in it. Alternate between killing those and some of the shades in the hallway.
Take your super set and start fighting, collecting the fiyr remains and eating food as needed. When you need space, summon the pack yak and transfer remains to it regularly. When done, run back to the bank, store the remains and repeat the process.
