The '''Black Knights' Catacombs''' is a dungeon released on [[26 November]] [[2008]] along with the [[While Guthix Sleeps]] quest. Players gain access to this dungeon during and after the quest.

To enter, players must enter the [[Black Knights' Fortress (building)|Black Knights' Fortress]] and go through the secret wall directly in front of them. Either a [[Bronze medium helm|Bronze helm]] and an [[Iron chainbody]] OR full Dagon'hai robes, full Elite Black armour, or full regular Black armour. are needed to enter the fortress. Once through the secret wall, players should go down the ladder and cast any [[Enchantment spells|charge orb spell]] on the strange tile (during the quest), or just go down the trapdoor (after the quest).

The dungeon contains level 138 [[Elite Black Knight]]s, level 122 [[Elite dark warrior]]s, [[Elite dark ranger]]s, and [[Elite dark mage]]s. They all use [[Prayer]] when battling. Strangely, the [[Dragon scimitar]]'s [[special attack]] (stops an opponent from using protection prayers for several seconds) has no effect on them. Players may range or mage the knights and warriors as there are some [[safespot]]s. To stop them from being aggressive, the player must wear [[Elite black armour]] or [[Dagon'hai robes]]. It is not recommended to bring these items due to the high replacement cost if you lose them.

Players must rescue [[Silif]] from this dungeon during [[While Guthix Sleeps]]. Also, the only way to access [[Lucien's camp]] is through this dungeon.

== Dungeon map ==

Levels 1 and 5 are safe in that there are no opponents present. Levels 2, 3, and 4 contain foes who will be [[aggressive]] to players who do not wear [[Elite black armour]] or [[Dagon'hai robes]].

=== Level 1 ===
1 - Ladder to ground floor of the [[Black Knights' Fortress]].

2 - Trapdoor to level 2. During the [[While Guthix Sleeps]] quest, this trapdoor is initially hidden and must be revealed using magic.

=== Level 2 ===
2 - Ladder to level 1.

3 - Broken bridge. Players may jump across the gap in the bridge. (The other bridge crossing the chasm is not broken but only leads to a dead-end area.)

4 - Climbable wall to level 3.

=== Level 3 ===
The barricade on this level can be jumped across on its western side or simply walked around on its northeast side.

4 - Climbable wall to level 2.

5 - Three [[Elite black guard]]s. They use protection [[Prayer]]s, so players should use at least two types of combat ([[melee]], [[ranged]], [[magic]]) to kill them. Each has his [[prayer]] run out after 20 attacks by the player. In the quest, each of the three must be killed once before the player can advance further into the dungeon.

6 - Prison cell. During the quest, the cell initially contains [[Silif]], until the player frees him.

7 - Door to level 4.

8, 9 - Doors. During and after the quest, each of these doors "seems totally and utterly locked". It is conjectured that a future quest or update will allow players to pass these doors.

=== Level 4 ===
7 - Door to level 3.

10 - Western cave, where during the quest the player can find a number of items needed in the quest.

11 - During the quest, [[Dark Squall]]/[[Surok]] is usually in this area, until he is captured.

12 - Ladder to level 5. After Surok is captured, players can climb the ladder while impersonating Surok (wearing Dagon'hai robes).

=== Level 5 ===

12 - Ladder to level 4.

13 - The stone circle. When standing in the circle, a player can use the strange teleorb, together with one [[law rune]] and one [[death rune]], to teleport to [[Lucien's camp]].

== Trivia ==
*[[Edgeville Dungeon]] is located south-east of the dungeon, while [[Forinthry Dungeon]] is directly north of Dark Squall's office.
*In the first [[RuneScape]] novel, [[Betrayal at Falador]], [[Lord Sulla]] makes reference to an expansive mining network beneath the Black Knights' Fortress, in which many [[dwarves]], [[human]]s, and [[goblin]]s were enslaved. This tunnel network may be the very same dungeon, only now exhausted through mining.
