Description

An example of an RDA portal

Random Dungeon Adventures are portals that spawn randomly through out the world. Entering one of these portals will teleport you into a dungeon containing a very powerful champion boss encounter with other monsters to clear as well. These portals are Blaze colored and have a fire elemental explosion effect on top of them, they are hard to find but not easy to miss.

These portals can be tracked with the Tracking skill by looking for Fire Elementals in your tracking menu.

Random Dungeon Adventure portals spawn close and reopen in a new location every 6 hours, there are 1 active at any given time.

Random Dungeon Adventures are the only way to obtain shards to create the Legendary Hammer.

Rewards

There are a number of potential rewards but don't expect to get something every time, particularly when the RDA is heavily contested!

The following notes were provided by numerous brave warriors, including Messremb and Bromista who kindly shared their knowledge on the community forums.

  • Strategy: Several tamers are recommended, and with pets being cycled out to heal. Dexxers and mages will struggle due to reflect damage. Hit the Dark Father sparingly, focus on killing any undead spawn. Cut the bones with a dagger to prevent additional undead spawn.


The Beetle King

Notes

  • Spawn: Rock beetles (cannot be provoked, move very fast and do all physical damage), doom beetle (high Magery), and tentacles of the Harrower.

    • Special Ability: Throws pools of poison on the ground.
    • Common Drops: ~11k gold, hammer shards, 2 Skill Scrolls, 1 Power Scrolls
    • Rare Drops: "Melolontha" Title, crafting recipe scrolls, statue, and Meta Pet relics.
  • Strategy: The Beetle King boss will poison you by throwing poison on the ground if you move around the boss. This can cause your pets up take massive damage from his poison pools. With multiple tamers he can be boxed in to prevent movement. As a warrior, you must stand your ground and try not to move unless you have to to avoid being hit by poison.


Lummox Chieftain

Notes

  • Spawn: Lummox warriors (can be provoked onto, large aggro range, move very fast and hit hard, lummox mages (high magic damage), and tentacles of the Harrower.

    • Common Drops: ~11k gold, hammer shards, 2 Skill Scrolls, 1 Power Scroll
    • Rare Drops: "Flummoxed!" Title, crafting recipe scrolls, statue, and Meta Pet relics.
  • Strategy: This can be a very tricky encounter. The entrance is the center of a room and the large aggro range on the lummoxes means that you likely be immediately targeted. It is almost inevitable that you will die a few times. Select a victim to lure the spawn away from one corner of the RDA and then make a run for that corner and slowly work your way out. On the boss himself, cross-heal and look out for those hatchets.

  • Spawn: Undead wardog (very fast, all physical damage), dream wraith (high Magery), tentacles of the Harrower.

    • Common Drops: ~11k gold, hammer shards, 2 Skill Scrolls, 1 Power Scrolls
    • Rare Drops: "The Treasure Hunter" Title (previously "Locked and Loaded"), crafting recipe scrolls, statue, and Meta Pet relics.

Pull off pets when he casts Ultima. Pre-cast cure when he begins his backstack attack. Cure the poison and heal up. Dexers can do a lot of damage to Locke but may need mage support for cures and heals.
