Salarin the Twisted is an evil druid in Yanille's Agility dungeon. He can be found at the end of the dungeon, in an area that requires level 67 Agility to enter (64 with an agility potion or 62 with a summer pie). He and the Magpie impling are currently the only NPCs able to drop the Sinister key. This key opens the Sinister chest that contains nine herbs: 2 Harralander, 3 Ranarr, 1 Irit, 1 Kwuarm, 1 Avantoe, and 1 Torstol. Salarin is a target for many players because of this drop. Players should keep in mind that the Sinister key is an uncommon salarin's drop.

Salarin the Twisted can only be injured by any of the four elemental strike spells (Wind Strike, Water Strike, Earth Strike, or Fire Strike), by Magic Dart, by Wind Rush, by the Dragonfire shield's Special Attack, by the Polypore Staff, or the Special Attack of Korasi's sword. Although it hits higher, Magic Dart isn't as consistent as the Strike spells.

Either food, a healing familiar such as the Bunyip, or a healing weapon, such as an Enhanced excalibur is useful in long trips.

The area the player can stand to safely attack Salarin.

There is a point in the corridor where the player can attack Salarin and he will try to retreat rather than attack. This is useful for low level players who are not confident about taking on a level 70 at close quarters.

Trivia

• Before the release of the Farming skill, killing Salarin for the Sinister key was the only way to obtain Torstol.
• The area Salarin is found in contains Zarosian graves. The significance of this, if any, is unknown.
• He will sometimes say, "Your pitiful attacks cannot hurt me!" even when the player is using strike spells, which can hurt him.
• At one time, the grave markers in the area afforded one a safe spot to mage Salarin from. This no longer works.
• At one time, strike spells always hit their maximum on him. This is no longer true.
