The Fremennik region has taken the spotlight in OSRS Leagues 5: Raging Echoes, and for good reason. Players have flocked here to take on the fearsome Echo Dagannoth Kings (DKs), drawn by the promise of their unique and powerful drops: the Amulet of the Monarchs and the Emperor Ring. These items provide unparalleled benefits, making them some of the most sought-after rewards in the entire League. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to defeat these challenging bosses and claim your fabled jewelry.

Unlocking the Echo Dagannoth Kings

Before you can face the Echo DKs, you’ll need to defeat the regular versions of the Dagannoth Kings. In Leagues, this is a straightforward task, especially if you’ve unlocked tier 5 combat masteries. If you’re struggling, a quick visit to our regular Dagannoth Kings Guide might help you get started.

Requirements for Echo Dagannoth Kings

To challenge the Echo Dagannoth Kings, here’s what you’ll need:

• Tier 6 Combat Mastery: Optional but highly recommended for an easier fight.

• 43+ Prayer: Essential for protection prayers.

• Combat Gear:

   • Melee: Tier 60+ weapon or higher (e.g., Dragon Scimitar or Thunder Khopesh).

   • Ranged: Rune Crossbow with ruby bolts (e) and diamond bolts (e) for a switch.

   • Magic: Ancient Staff or better with Blood Spells.

• Consumables: Decent food (e.g., sharks or better), prayer potions, OSRS gold, and boosting potions like Super Combat or Ranging Potions.

Pro Tip: If you’re a melee user and have unlocked Thunder Khopesh alongside Total Recall, this fight becomes significantly easier.

Preparing for the Fight

Getting to the DKs’ lair and staying there for consecutive attempts is critical. Here are a few strategies to simplify your setup:

• Clue Compass: Some elite clue steps place you right next to the lair, offering an easy way back.

• Banker’s Note: This allows you to bank on the go, reducing downtime.

• Total Recall: Save a teleport near the DKs and return instantly after a kill.

Echo Dagannoth Kings Mechanics

While Echo DKs retain the same weaknesses and strengths as their standard counterparts, they come with unique mechanics:

1. Shared Health Pool: All three Echo DKs share a single health pool. Defeating one means defeating all three.

2. Combat Styles:

   • Dagannoth Rex uses melee and is weak to magic.

   • Dagannoth Prime uses magic and is weak to ranged.

   • Dagannoth Supreme uses ranged and is weak to melee.

3. Protection Prayers: Two of the three DKs will have protection prayers active for all styles. At the start, Supreme is vulnerable, but as the fight progresses, the prayer rotation shifts between them.

4. Acid Splats: Acid rains down periodically, forcing you to reposition to avoid heavy damage.

5. Final Phase: At 20% health, all protection prayers drop, and acid splats occur every few ticks.

Attack Pattern and Prayer Flicking

The Echo DKs attack in a predictable sequence:

1. Prime (Magic attack).

2. Supreme (Ranged attack).

3. Rex (Melee attack).

To survive, prayer flicking is essential:

• Start with Protect from Magic.

• Switch to Protect from Ranged as soon as you see Supreme’s attack animation.

• Switch to Protect from Melee when Rex attacks.

Repeat this rotation throughout the fight to minimize incoming damage.

The Fight: Step-by-Step

1. Preparation: Before entering the boss arena, drink any stat-boosting potions you have and activate Protect from Magic.

2. Engage All DKs: Ensure you hit each of the three DKs at least once to qualify for loot from all of them.

3. Focusing Strategy:

   • If you have a strong tier 6 primary combat style, you can ignore the prayer rotations and focus on the DK weak to your style.

       • Melee users: Focus on Supreme.

       • Ranged users: Focus on Prime.

       • Magic users: Focus on Rex.

   • If your combat style isn’t strong, follow the prayer rotation and focus on each DK as their protection prayers drop.

4. Avoid Acid Splats: Move after every prayer rotation to avoid acid pools, which deal significant damage if you remain stationary.

5. Final Phase: When the DKs reach 20% health, their protection prayers drop entirely, and acid rains down every few ticks. Use this opportunity to dump your special attacks and finish the fight quickly.

Advanced Tips

For Wilderness enthusiasts with access to the Thunder Khopesh and Total Recall, the fight becomes even simpler:

1. Stack Supreme and Rex: Lure Rex and Supreme into the same tile to deal damage to both simultaneously.

2. Focus Supreme: The Khopesh’s lightning effect will also damage Rex, significantly reducing their shared health pool.

3. Special Attack Dump: In the final phase, unleash your special attacks, potentially dealing 400–500 damage, and finish the fight quickly.

4. Repeat Efficiently: Use Total Recall to teleport back and reset the fight for faster kills.

Claiming Your Rewards

Once victorious, the Amulet of the Monarchs and Emperor Ring are worth the effort. These items provide immense utility, offering stat boosts that can carry you through the rest of the League.

Conclusion

The Echo Dagannoth Kings are a thrilling and rewarding challenge in OSRS Leagues 5: Raging Echoes. With the right preparation, gear, and strategies, you can conquer them and walk away with some of the most coveted items in the game.
