The Dagannoth Rex is the melee Dagannoth King found on Waterbirth Island and is normally targeted by mages as it has very high melee defence.

Dagannoth Rex is the only dropper of the fabled Berserker and Warrior rings. He, along with his other Dagannoth Kings, can drop the famed Dragon hatchet.

Dagannoth Rex strategy

Main article: Dagannoth Kings/Strategies

Dagannoth Rex is extremely weak to magic attacks. Whoever is killing him may want to use the eastern side, as he can be easily safespotted due to his large size. Rex can hit up to 280 quite often, and his attacks commonly hit around 200-230 but rarely anywhere else.

There is a complete safespot on the northwestern top part of the arena where Rex will be unable to get you. However, this is best advised for two-or more man teams.

There is another semi-safe spot on the eastern edge of the arena. Rex will be the only one attacking you, unless the other Kings are alerted to your presence.

What could go wrong

• Probably the worst thing that could go wrong during the first wave is Dagannoth Supreme gets too close when luring Rex. If this is the case, simply go up the ladder if you're close enough, but if you're not, tank it out on brews while the hybrids kill Supreme and Prime.

Trivia

• 'Rex' is a latin word, which means 'king'.
• The Dreadnip has a far lower chance of successfully hitting Dagannoth Rex than any other Dagannoth King.
• If Rex is killed near the edge of the arena, there is a chance that the drops may appear on two seperate tiles.
• Dagannoth Rex, along with Dagannoth Supreme and Prime, have a hook-shaped left arm.
