The Lava Maze is a maze located deep in the Wilderness, around level 40-45. In the entrance and partway through the maze, there are spiderwebs that must be cut with a slash weapon or a knife.

Warning: It is possible for players to get trapped inside the maze if they do not have a knife or slash weapon to cut the webs.

This method is more efficient than the other method where the player collects and then banks each inventory, though riskier. When deciding which method one may want to choose, keep in mind this area is located in the wilderness, players should not take anything they are not prepared to lose.

Walking from the Varrock west bank takes approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds to arrive at the Lava Maze. Once the player has arrived at the steel platebody spawn, they may camp the spawn as long as they would like. If the player chooses to bank every hour, the Varrock Teleport is the fastest method to bank, and will teleport you directly east of the west bank. Once banking is completed, run north-west through the wilderness ditch on the east side of the River Lum and repeat the process.
