Tarn's Lair is located in south-western Morytania. It is a complex dungeon with lots of undead, and features a miniquest to kill Tarn Razorlor. The area was released on 22 January 2007.
Requirements
- The Haunted Mine quest is required to access Tarn's Lair.
- Requires the Salve Amulet to enter.
- Requires Level 40 Slayer, if you wish to fight with Tarn Razorlor.
Travel
The lair is found off the Haunted Mine and requires a Salve amulet to enter. Probably the fastest way is to use the Ring of slaying and select 'Tarn's Lair'; the lair is directly north.
Second fastest is using Drakan's medallion to Burgh de Rott then go west to Agility shortcut to the Haunted Mine area.
The third way is to teleport to Canifis, and go via the Myreque shortcut to Burgh de Rott. There is an Agility shortcut between the town of Burgh de Rott and the Haunted Mine area.
Another route is the Burgh de Rott Ramble. Choose Pazuzu (strongest follower), and route 1, the easiest.
To enter the lair, climb over the mine cart just south of the Zealot (featured in the Haunted Mine quest), and enter the haunted mine, then travel north and enter the lair.
Guide
Map
Referring back to the map please note the letters that identify the various doors and passages. The route that you need to follow is ( D-S-T-U. )
That means, by following the map, you go through the passage labeled (D,) then to the passage labeled ( S,) then through the ( T ) passage, and finally to ( U.) We'll go over the rest when you get there.
Before you go gallavanting off into this dangerous dungeon, there are things you need to know. This lair is very dangerous, guarded by various monsters and traps.
Directions
There are numerous traps, monsters and passages within the lair. Note: It is recommended that you have auto-retaliate OFF whilst in the lair, because after disabling a wall trap, you don't want to run back across the spikes straight into the trap again.
| Trap/Feature | Failure result | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor trap | Floor trap | You will be hit 70-80 life points if you run over a floor trap | They are fairly obvious, having a big X across the floor tile. Right-click and search floor to disarm the trap. Another simple alternative is to just carefully walk around them. |
| Wall trap | 
|
You will be hit 70-100 life points if you run past a wall trap | These are harder to see, but generally only occur in narrow passages, so check for them when you're in a narrow passage. |
| Log trap | Log trap | You will be hit 150-200 life points by a log trap, and knocked to a level below. | Log traps only occur on jumps to pillars. There is sometimes (but not always) a right-click Search floor which will disable the log trap near one of the walls. |
| Receding walls | 
|
You will be pushed by the walls, and knocked to a level below. | Occurs sometimes on slim ledges. Just wait till the trap moves back into the walls and run past it. |
| Passage | Passage | N/A | Passages lead to new areas in the lair. Following the more ornate doors (especially with water-features) will eventually lead you to Tarn Razorlor. |
Recommended Equipment
This is an ideal place to use Guthan's armour. If you don't own Guthan's set, then good melee armour, a weapon, good food and 1-2 prayer potions is recommended. Even if you do own Guthan's set, taking some food is a good idea because of the numerous traps within the lair.
Bank
From the entrance, travel as far east as you can and then north. It will cost 100 coins each time you use the bank. Some of the undead in the lair drop coins. If you have forgotten 100 coins it is possible to access your grand exchange collection box for free and get 100 coins from there. With the addition of Money pouches, 100 coins will automatically be taken from your pouch when you select the bank option.

Trivia
- With the release of Tarn Razorlor and his lair, all skeletons, ghosts, zombies and most undead creatures had a graphical update.
- There was previously a bug that prevented players from reaching Tarn's Chamber without the use of a slayer ring, this was caused by the fact that if a player attempts to jump to a pillar required to cross into the chamber they receive a message "I can't reach that!". Jagex had made a temporary solution to the problem by placing a portal between the two pillars. This bug has been fixed.
- Players used to be able to use a ring of slaying to teleport directly into the end of the maze just outside the boss chamber, regardless of whether or not the miniquest has already been completed.
