Balmung is a two-handed weapon, made of bane ore tuned to dagannoths, obtained from Queen Sigrid during the quest Blood Runs Deep. Level 60 Attack and level 65 Slayer are necessary to wield the weapon as these are required to start the quest. Balmung is obtained relatively early in Blood Runs Deep and does not require any further completion of the quest to use it.

Balmung deals extra damage against Dagannoths; it hits significantly higher with both normal attacks and abilities compared to other weapons around its level. Thus, it is considered an excellent choice when fighting the Dagannoth Kings.

If a player destroys Balmung after Blood Runs Deep, they can retrieve it from Queen Sigrid in the castle on Miscellania. During the quest, it can be retrieved from Brundt the Chieftain. He tells the player that the next time Balmung is lost, they will have to pay 225,000 coins to get it back. If you have completed the miniquest to obtain the upgraded Balmung, then you can receive the upgraded version from talking to Kharshai. He tells the player that the next time the upgraded version is lost, they will have to pay 300,000 coins to get it back.

• The knock-out aura does work with the Balmung.^{[source needed]}
