Lapalok is a Slayer Master replacing Duradel in Shilo Village after Duradel dies during While Guthix Sleeps. He has exactly the same functions as Duradel, assigning the same tasks. He used to sell the Slayer cape, before the release of Kuradal on 8 December 2009. He is a follower of Amascut and supports her current plans and attempts and desert domination. He is also glad that Duradel's fate was of a destructive nature.

Initially he was named Disciple of the Devourer, and his name was only seen in the NPC Contact list. This was changed on 9 December 2008 after feedback from players. However, with Sumona being incognito it would make sense that she put an underling in a higher position than herself so as to further protect her true identity. With the Christmas update that year some of his advice dialogue was changed to be more similar to that of Sumona.

Slayer points

After the Smoking Kills quest, players can receive Slayer reward points for completing slayer tasks, based on how many tasks players have accomplished in a row. Completion of a task assigned by Lapalok will grant you:

• 15 slayer points per normal task
• 75 for every 10th
• 225 for every 50th

This means that if using Lapalok over the long term, an average of 24 points will be granted per task.

Assignments

NOTE: Slayer masters assign higher-levelled monsters more frequently if the player's combat level is high.

Slayer Challenge

Lapalok will occasionally offer a special task in place of a regular slayer task. The player can decline to take the special task without penalty. If the player accepts the special task, completing the task:

• Earns extra slayer experience.
• Earns Slayer reward points, if the player has completed the Smoking Kills quest.
• Counts as a task for the player's consecutive task count, which is used for slayer reward points.

Lapalok's special task is for the player to slay every type of monster in the Slayer Tower in a single trip without leaving the tower. The numbers of monsters that must be slain are:

• 21 Crawling Hands on the ground floor
• 8 Banshees on the ground floor (requires protection from the banshees' screams)
• 9 Infernal Mages on the first floor
• 7 Bloodvelds on the first floor
• 7 Aberrant spectres on the first floor (requires protection from the spectres' odour)
• 5 Gargoyles on the second floor (requires a Rock hammer)
• 6 Nechryaels on the second floor
• 6 Abyssal demons on the second floor

As the player kills the required number of each set of monster, a notice appears in the chatbox that the player has killed enough of the monster for the challenge.

Note that level 85 slayer is needed for this task (for the abyssal demons), the player needs special equipment against some monsters, and the player needs to be prepared to defend against melee, magical melee, and magic attacks. No monster attacks with more than one attack style, so switching between melee and magic defence armour as needed will be an effective tactic.

The reward for completing this task is a bonus of 20,000 Slayer experience and 35 bonus Slayer Points.

In total a player will receive 24,556-24,640 Slayer experience (depending on the level of the crawling hands killed) and 50, 110 or 260 Slayer Points (depending on the players task count).

Tasks

To complete the elite Karamja Tasks you have to complete a 10th or 50th task at Lapalok to gain 75 reward points or more at one go.

Trivia

• He wields one Iron claw, equipped on his right hand. Shortly after the release of Kuradal, Lapalok now has a Cape of legends.
• The friends chat, Lapalok, is reported to be owned by Mod MMG as mentioned in his clan chat on 16 May 2008. Upon entering the clan chat, a player would find the title "RIP Duradel". This is obviously to remember Duradel's death from the quest While Guthix Sleeps.
