The Blighted Volcano is a small volcanic outcrop in the north-eastern section of the Wilderness. While walking around it, the ground will shake periodically - probably because of heavy volcanic activity. There is a rope bridge that spans the central pool of lava that can be crossed.

Like near the Chaos Temple, balls of fire shoot out of the pools of lava. If one hits a player, it can inflict minor damage. The volcano can be used to flee from the powerful Chaos Elemental that resides nearby to the west of the Rogues' Castle. Apart from this, the volcano has no use except for forging Odium and Malediction wards, and being a sinister piece of scenery well suited to the hostile landscape of the Wilderness.

The volcano is located in the north east of the Wilderness, near Rogues' castle and the Fountain of Rune.

• After completion of the hard Wilderness diary, set the Wilderness Obelisk to level 50 Wilderness, teleport, and walk north-east. Alternatively, activate the obelisk until the level 50 obelisk is randomly chosen as the destination.
• After completion of the hard Wilderness diary, teleport with the Wilderness sword to the Fountain of Rune and head north.
• Use Annakarl teleport or its corresponding tablet and head north-east.
• From the Edgeville lever, run east, past the Rogues' Castle, to reach the volcano.

The centre of the volcano houses a powerful forge, where players must travel to in order to combine the three shards of either the Malediction ward or Odium ward. When using one of the three shards on the Volcanic Forge, a message appears in the game tab stating You forge the shield pieces together in the chambers of fire and are blown back by the intense heat.

The north-western side of the volcano has a wrecked ship (possibly made out of metal, explaining why it hasn't burnt up due to the volcano. The ship cannot be explored and has no use other than for scenery. A large amount of skeletons litter the area, especially around the ship, seeming to indicate that the crew were either thrown from the ship during the crash and subsequently died from their injuries, or else that the crew attempted to flee and were then killed by lava.

One of the examine texts for these skeletons reads A victim of war... looks like he's been dead for a while now., implying this ship and its crew, if not the volcano itself, may have taken part in a notable event from Gielinor's past, such as the God Wars. Next to the ship is an extension of the land on which eighteen squares are level 56 Wilderness - the deepest anyone can go.

• Using a gold ring on the Volcanic Forge results in a goblin appearing, yelling My Precious!!! NOOOOO!!!, referencing the character Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.
• Curiously, the wooden bridge across the volcano exists even though the constant lava splashes would have burnt and destroyed it.
• A hard clue scroll step refers to the Blighted Volcano as the "Wilderness volcano".
