Prifddinas guards can be found near each of the four main Prifddinas entrances, as well as in the Prifddinas Marketplace in the Meilyr district. They are notable for having the highest combat level of any guard of any city in Gielinor. They can be killed as an alternative for an elf Slayer task.

For Slayer tasks, the guards in Prifddinas may be favourable over the elf warriors and archers found in Lletya due to their spawns being much closer together and in open spaces. The archers, however, have slightly less slash Defence and slightly higher Ranged Defence.

It is possible to trap all three of the guards that roam the Prifddinas Marketplace in the Meilyr district. This method relies on the guards staying aggressive towards the player, which prevents them from wandering back into the marketplace. Because of the small wandering range of the southernmost guard, the other two guards must be trapped first, otherwise the southern guard loses aggression while trapping the other guards.

First attack one of the northern two guards to draw their attention, and draw it inside of Derwen's food shop just north of the marketplace. Lure it all the way behind the shop counter, and then quickly run outside.

Then attack the second northern guard, and draw it to the eastern door of the food shop. Stand just inside of the shop, with the guard standing just outside, one square east of you. Then run through the store and exit out the western side, running around and ending up south of the shop. Make sure you end up on a square south of the shop, in order to ensure the guard does not exit the shop. Then slowly walk east, which should trap the second guard behind the counter as well.

The third guard has a wandering range that does not reach the food store, so he has to be trapped behind the silk stall. This location only has space to trap a single guard.

First, attack the third guard, and walk to the square directly south-east of the silk stall. Once the guard reaches you, quickly run north to the eastern tile between the silk and silver stalls. The guard should stay south of the silk stall. Next you need to run to the square directly north-east of silver stall, behind Osian the silver merchant. If done correctly, the guard is now stuck on the singular tile behind silk stall where it cannot wander off.

Optionally you can use binding spells, such as snare, to bind the third guard briefly once it reaches you south of silk stall. That way you can run straight to tile behind Osian and wait there until guard unbinds and walks behind silk stall where it stays trapped.

Once all guards are lured, you are free to thieve from all stalls as none of the merchants wander around.

Trapping the guards like this and stealing from the stalls is one of the fastest methods to obtain Rocky, the skilling pet for Thieving.

Drop rates are estimated based on 421,280 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Guard (Prifddinas) kill is worth 3,922.85. If crystal shard drops are used to create divine super combat potions, each kill is worth an additional 2,816.00.
