Map

The Champions' Challenge is a Distraction and Diversion found in the basement of the Champions' Guild. While fighting various creatures of Gielinor, a player may be challenged to a duel by the champion of certain races, which are offered by means of a champion's scroll, which is received as an extremely rare drop (1/5,000 chance). These duels take place with certain rules, from limiting the player's armour to disallowing some items. In order to be eligible to receive a champion's scroll, a player must be on a members server and have at least 32 quest points.

The Champions of Champions are those who are seated in the arena. There is a Champion for each of the races of Humans, Dwarves, TzHaar, Werewolves, Elves, and Gnomes. Only the Human champion, Leon D'Cour, may be challenged in a final duel of duels.

There are eleven champions that may challenge the player, and each one lays down certain rules for the fight. In addition to the rules in effect for a given champion, some general rules apply to all fights.

Players cannot teleport out of the Champions' Guild basement. Attempting to do so will prompt Larxus to say "There's a ladder for a reason". If players need to escape the fight at any time, they must exit through the portcullis.

Crossing through the portcullis does not end the fight or reset the Champion's hitpoints; rather, it ends once the ladder behind it is climbed up. This will not cause the Champion's scroll to be lost, it only disappears once players defeat the Champion.

It is possible to use a Dwarf multicannon in the arena in any fight where the use of range is not restricted. Thralls cannot be summoned. Rings of recoil can be used in the fights as a workaround for any combat-style restrictions; however, to get kill credit and thus complete the challenge, the player must be/have been actively engaged in combat with the champion. Clue caskets can be brought in, however they cannot be opened.

If the player dies during a Champion fight, their gravestone will appear on the ground floor of the Champion's Guild, a few tiles away from the trapdoor. Their Champion's scroll will not disappear upon death in this manner: it can be recovered from the gravestone.

Inventory must be completely empty during the Ghoul Champion and Leon d'Cour fights. Players must also have only an item equipped in weapon slot for the Ghoul Champion, but wearing anything in other slots for Leon d'Cour is accepted.

Beating a champion

In addition to the Hitpoints and Slayer experience gained when defeating a champion, defeating them grants a banner hung on the northern wall of the basement. Players can also claim a Champion's lamp after defeating a champion, which awards ten times the experience that is given immediately after a champion's defeat. A total of 40,348 Hitpoints and Slayer experience is rewarded from defeating all the champions and claiming all the champion's lamps.

Once players defeat all 11 champions, they receive Leon d'Cour's champion's cape. The cape is purely cosmetic, and has no stats.

• The Imp Champion banner still uses the old, pre-graphical update imp appearance, despite the Imp Champion itself having been reworked as part of the update.
• It is possible to drop the Champion's scroll before defeating the Champion, and picking it up after the fight to keep it. However, if players attempt to use the scroll on Larxus after defeating the Champion, he will take your scroll away and tell you "You've already defeated this Champion. The challenge is void."
