Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Getting Started
Use a Ring of Dueling to Teleport there or go South of the Observatory. You can buy an Item Guide from the guy there, and trade your Tickets for different sets of Decorative Armor. There is a Bank Chest in the Corner, grab your Gear (minus Helm and Cape) and go into one of the Portals, red for Team Zamorak, blue for Team Saradomin, green for Guthix and a random chance of either Team. You’ll Teleport into a Cave with your Teammates, wearing a Hooded Cloak with your Teams Colors, you just have to wait for the next Game now.

Animalation

Sheep: Enter Guthix Portal with something that represents a god. Example: Book of Balance. You will appear in either Zamorak or Saradomin Area as a Sheep.

Imp: Go into Zamorak Area with something from another god. Example: Blessed Holy Symbol.

Bunny: Enter Saradomin Area with Item from Another god. Example: Book of Balance.

When you enter the Cave as an Animal you can only see your Combat Style selection Icon. It’s cool if you have a Dragon Battle Axe equipped and special it as a Bunny. When you go into Combat everything is restored to the way it was when you entered the god Portal.

Getting Equipped
When the Game starts you’ll end up in the center of your Castle, go through the Barriers or up the Ladder. On the lowest Battlement is a Ladder going down, go down there. There are several Tables which you can take the following Items from:

Bandages: Very useful, take a few if you’re defending, attacking or doing anything else!

Stones: Take some of these if you want to use the Catapult.

Explosive Potions: Take a few if you’re attacking, they can knock down Barricades, Catapults, Cave Walls and anything else that stands in your way. You can’t use them on other People and try not to drop them.

Barricades: Good for defenders, set them up in strategic locations to block the Enemy.

Pickaxe: Good for clearing the Tunnels under the Castle.

Tinder: Sets fire to Barricades and Catapults, slower than Explosive Potions but doesn’t run out and takes only one space.

Bucket of Water: Can put out the Fires caused by Tinderboxes.

Fight!

Now you need to either attack by running through your Gates, across the Island and into their Castle. Or by going Underground via the Ladder in the Equipment Room. Make your way up the Castle, preferably killing your Enemies, and grab their Flag, then dash to your own Base and plant the Enemy Flag next to your own.

You can also dash from the side Gate and hop across the Stepping Stones to assault the Gates.

Put up your Barricades, range and mage from the main Wall, or go to the top of your Castle and kill anyone near your Flag!

Linuxking’s Tip: Do not, and I repeat, do not use the Side Door. Keep it locked and Barricaded at all times!!! This is a big weakness of each Castle.

Everywhere is Multi-Combat mayhem! But don’t worry, you don’t lose anything when you die, you just respawn at your Castle.

Castle Positions/Jobs

Offensive Positions/Jobs:

Flaggers: These Warriors will of course stock up on Bandages and a few Potions and cross the Water on the Stepping Stones or even approach head on through the Land, running through the Castle to the Flag.

Tank: If you’re Level 60+ Hit Points a great way to secure the Enemy Flag room is to just stay up there and kill as many as you can to clear the way for a Flagger. Grab your Bandages and go through the Tunnels to avoid being hurt, then run up to the Flag Room and kill. When you’re low on Bandages turn on your Prayer and go to their Supply Room, stock up on Bandages and go back up.

Sneak Attack: Grab some Bandages, Potions and a Pickaxe, mine your way underground to the Ladder to enter their Castle and move your way to the Flag.

Wall Invaders: For this role it’s best for them to stock up on tons of Potions, Bandages and a Rope. Your duty is to climb to the Walls and eliminate those pesky Archers and Mages who try to shoot down your Comrades.

Catapult Destroyers: It’s best to grab lots of Potions have a Tinderbox and Bandages. You should head through their Side Door and up the Steps so their Archers and Mages don’t see you, stay with the Catapult and blow it up as soon as they repair it.

Catapult Operators: Grab lots of Rocks and a Toolkit, head to the Castle Wall and operate the Catapult. The best place to aim at is the Bridge over middle section, aim just before the running Enemies.

Defensive Positions/Jobs:

This is what most People have problems with.

Gate Keeper: KEEP THE GATE CLOSED! The Gate is not the only route out of your Castle, there is an opening on the side and Underground. There should always be a Player to keep the Gate closed. And I strongly recommend that Archers focus on this position then the Battlefield outside of the Castle. Because while the Enemies are trying to get through the Gate they can be shot down and Maged. This is where many People mess up and allow many Enemies to run right through their defense.

Medic: The great role for those lower Levels of 10-50. You are the Healer of the Team, grab tons of Bandages and be on all Floors at your Castle. If you happen to notice one of your Comrades getting owned by a Level 101 help out and heal them with the Bandages. It’s best to stay at your Home Base because most Medics would be the ideal Target and if killed can hurry back to their Post. You will notice if you see some one screaming “Medic!” that they need health, you’re no match for the Level 101 so help them by healing them.

Warrior: Like your offensive counterparts you should kill as many Enemies as possible. Grab a full Inventory of Bandages, you’ll need them. The Battlefield in front of your Castle is a great place to defend from wannabe Invaders.

Archers: If your range is of 50+ you need to be on the Wall shooting down any Enemies coming at the Gate or near the Wall to enter the Side of your Castle. Keep in mind to try and focus on one target trying to get in, weaken him for the Warriors inside.

Mages: Best Spell to be used in this part is Snare, Entangle, if you see any Foe that has run through the Gate smack him with this Spell. And deal him some Wave, and Blast Spells.

Warriors; Home Based: It’s best for some to stay and guard each Floor of the Castle and the Flag should be heavily guarded.

Barrier Placers: The best spots to put up Barriers are some at your Main Gate. And right at the end and top of the Stairs leading to your Flag.

Stream Rangers and Mages: You can rack up great kills and defend the Castle. Stand across the other side of your Bank and shoot down all those who try to cross the Rocks.

Underground Tunnel Raiders: Another important role to do, but many People don’t seem interested in this, but if you work as a Team you could run this place. The best thing to do is to grab a Pickaxe and nothing but Bandages or maybe a Barrier or two. Head to the Ladder and run through the Tunnels and have all your Team Mates collapse all the Cave Walls! And guard each one, it’s best for one Person to shout out “West” or “North” so everyone can know which way the Enemy is trying to come through. Fight hard and kill any Passers and try to keep the Rocks sealed at all times. But of course, there will always be someone on the other side for you and someone else to catch in a Trap, and the Person on the other side mines the Rocks away and gives them the chance to escape. LET THEM GO! It happens, trust me, it’s best to stay and Collapse it back. Remember, if you have more People in this place you will have complete control of the Tunnels.

Flag: All ranges of top Fighters need to be at this place. It would be wise to clear People from the Entrance and place two Barriers there for the Rangers and Mages to shoot them down when they appear on the Floor.

A Map

Catapults

Get some Rocks from the Supply Area and go out of Supply Area up onto the Outer Wall, then go to the Wall that faces the Enemy. Select “Operate” and you will see a Coordinates Screen. Change the Coordinates to where you want to Shoot the Stone, the Red “X” will indicate where the Rock will hit. It seems to do damage to the spot it hits and one Square around it. Tinderboxes and Explosive Potions can destroy it and Toolkits Repair it.
