The skavid map is required to successfully navigate the Skavid caves around Gu'Tanoth. Without possession of this map, players entering into one of the Skavid caves will immediately exit the next cave entrance in a clockwise direction, the last one being next to Toban's island, before starting at the north-west cave again. Players do not need to read the map to enter the Skavid caves, only have it in their inventory.

During the Watchtower quest, you obtain the map by visiting the ogre city guards all the way at the end of the path leading into Gu'Tanoth. To obtain the map the first time, you will need a rock cake, a death rune and 20 coins to reach the city guard and buy the map. If you lose the map, you'll only need 20 coins to get back to the city guard to replace it.

After the quest, the map can be freely reobtained if lost by talking to one of the two city guards. The city guards are located next to the ogre named Keef, on top of the eastern hill next to the agility shortcut. You can access here by climbing the agility shortcut (71 Agility required), or by following the four bridges around to it, starting at the south-west of the city. Please note that if you're following the four bridges, you will once again have to pay 20 coins to cross the last bridge even with the quest finished. However, a rock cake and a death rune are no longer necessary.

A skavid map is required in order to pick cave nightshade from a skavid cave for a medium achievement in the Ardougne Diary. One can be found in the northernmost cave entrance, west of Yanille, and south of the lake with the island in it.

After completing the Watchtower quest, the skavid map can be reobtained by speaking to one of the city guards.

Reading the map

Reading the map displays a highly stylised map that approximately shows the entrances to the caves.
