TzTok-Jad (translated as Hard/Rock/Obsidian Fire Elemental), commonly called Jad for short, is one of the strongest monsters in Old School RuneScape and the boss of the TzHaar Fight Cave minigame. With a combat level of 702, TzTok-Jad has a max hit of 97 and can easily kill most players in one hit with any of its three attacks: a Melee attack with its bite (max hit of 97), a blast of Magic in the form of a fireball (max hit of 95), and a boulder falling from the ceiling as a Ranged attack (max hit of 97). To add to the challenge, players must fight through waves of monsters in the TzHaar Fight Cave in order to reach TzTok-Jad and must do so solo and without being able to restock on supplies from the previous waves.

Players can pay 100 slayer reward points to have Duradel, Nieve, or Chaeldar assign TzHaar as a possible Slayer task. When players receive TzHaar as a slayer assignment, they will be prompted with an option to be assigned 1-3 TzTok-Jad instead. By default, players can only kill one Jad per task, but can be increased to 2 and 3 respectively with completion of the Master and Grandmaster Combat Achievements respectively.

This gives players the option to use their imbued black mask/slayer helm's damage and accuracy bonuses on all monsters encountered in the Fight Cave. Players who accept this challenge will receive Slayer experience for each of the monsters in the Fight Cave that they defeat, as well as 25,250 Slayer experience should they defeat TzTok-Jad himself, totalling 37,010 experience for the entire cave.

If the player is to leave the Fight Cave during their task, either manually or by dying, they will receive the following message: You no longer have a slayer task as you left the fight cave. This will not reset a player's task streak, and can be used as a way to quickly skip the task without the use of slayer points.

TzTok-Jad is the boss monster of the TzHaar Fight Cave, and is encountered on Wave 63 (the final wave). This is the only place where Jad can be found.

Once TzTok-Jad is reached, fighting and defeating him requires decent skill and reflexes. It is possible to engage TzTok-Jad using Melee, but as TzTok-Jad's melee attack has no warning animation, players must have Protect from Melee active when in melee distance, and switch to Protect from Missiles or Protect from Magic once the respective warning animation is identified. When at a distance, TzTok-Jad only uses Ranged and Magic attacks, which can hit the player from up to 15 tiles away. While Jad has no defence bonuses, it is recommended to kill Jad with ranged, as it avoids the melee attack completely, only leaving the magic and ranged attacks for Jad.

As with all other off-colored monsters in the Fight Caves, locating where the orange Ket-Zek spawned will indicate Jad's spawn point. Like the Tok-Xil, Jad has a very long attack range, and players not using drawn out clients can find themselves being attacked by Jad without seeing the combat style he uses and where he comes from.

Like Ket-Zek, Jad's attacks can deal extremely high damage, and is even capable of killing lower-leveled players in one hit if not protected against. Jad's melee and ranged attacks have a max hit of 97, while the magic attack has a max hit of 95.

• Melee: TzTok-Jad thrusts forward with a sharp bite. He only does this if the player is within melee distance. Unlike the Magic and Ranged attacks, the Melee attack is instant.
• Magic: TzTok-Jad rears up on his hind legs and dangles his forward legs for a few seconds before launching a fireball from his mouth at the player.
• Ranged: TzTok-Jad rears up on his hind legs, then slams down his front legs onto the ground causing a boulder to fall on the player (it is not possible to evade this boulder by running).

Once TzTok-Jad is reduced to below 150 health, he will summon four Yt-HurKots to come and heal him repeatedly — the player must deal with them whilst warding off TzTok-Jad's attacks. If they manage to heal him to full health, then they should not be killed as the healers that have died will respawn once he is reduced to half health again. If they are distracted before healing him to full health, they will not respawn when killed.

Note: If you take the attention of the Yt-HurKots and they are hitting you, they WILL still heal Jad if they are close enough to him.

You can practice fighting Jad by logging into a speed running world and set up a speed run for Beneath Cursed Sands. Because you have a fire cape there, you can do the first one of TzHaar-Ket-Rak's Challenges and fight JalTok-Jad, which is a stronger variant of Jad. Here, the healers have higher stats, but their mechanics are more forgiving - needing to be untagged and directly next to Jad in order to heal.

Once players manage to defeat TzTok-Jad, they will be rewarded with the coveted fire cape along with 8,032 Tokkul (16,064 Tokkul with completion of the Elite Karamja Diary).

Players may exchange any unwanted fire capes with TzHaar-Mej-Jal for their choice of 8,000 Tokkul or a second chance at Tzrek-jad, having the same reward rate as killing Jad without a Slayer task (1/200).

When killing Jad and exchanging the cape, you increase your effective chance to ~1/101 to receive the pet (~1/67 on slayer task).

• The original working title for TzTok-Jad before its release was "Lord Magmus". This is still the name used in the configuration files.^[2][3]
• TzTok-Jad's combat stats were intended to be double that of the Ket-Zek, with a combat level of 720. However due to game limitations in 2005 the maximum possible hitpoints of an NPC were 255, instead of the required 320. As a result his combat level is capped at 702.
• TzTok-Jad had a festive override wearing a santa hat during the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 Christmas events.
