King Black Dragon

Introduction[edit | edit source]

The King Black Dragon, commonly referred to as KBD, is a three-headed dragon located in his lair, accessible only through the deep Wilderness. Although the lair itself is not in the Wilderness, he is still considered a Wilderness boss by designation. The King Black Dragon has a combat level of 276, which makes him one of the strongest dragons on Arigon. Players should always take an anti-dragon shield as his dragonfire breath is very deadly without protection. The King Black Dragon can also be killed as an alternative for a black dragon Slayer task, except when assigned by Krystilia.

Although he will always fight back when attacked, he has gotten bored over the centuries from adventurers attacking him, as he revealed to his good friend Bob the cat.

While the King Black Dragon's lair is entered from within the Wilderness, his lair itself is not part of the Wilderness, so players cannot attack each other in his lair.

Recommended Gear[edit | edit source]

This is one of the easier bosses in the game assuming you have an anti-fire shield or a dragonfire shield. You can Melee him or Range him, Whatever your preference is. It is multi-way combat inside the lair, So if you have summoning level'd up, There's no harm in taking it with you to speed up your kills. Basic Black Dragonhide and Rune crossbow or a whip is more than sufficient.

The Fight[edit | edit source]

It's almost exactly the same as fighting a Green Dragon but he has more health and a few different dragonfire abilities, None of which will concern you, As you have an anti-dragonfire shield.
