The '''Camelot training room''', also known as the "'''Knight Waves Training Grounds'''", is a [[miniquest]] located on the top floor of [[Camelot]] castle. Players must have completed the [[King's Ransom]] quest to enter. A squire standing outside the door will explain how the training grounds work.

To complete this mini quest, it is recommended to have the following: A [[dragon dagger]] p++, [[Abyssal whip]] ([[Chaotic rapier]] if you own one), some type of [[Crush|crush weapon]], [[monkfish]], [[shark]]s, [[Saradomin brew]]s, and good armour.

Players must successfully defeat the eight [[Camelot|Knights of the Round Table]]. Players are allowed to use only the '''[[melee]]''' style of combat—'''[[Summoning]] and [[Prayer]] are not allowed'''. As well as doing damage, each knight drains one combat stat ([[Attack]], [[Defence]], [[Strength]]) by 5 upon accurately hitting the player. Each knight is harder than the preceding one and will hit more accurately, thereby draining combat stats faster. The final knight, [[Sir Lancelot]], reduces 2 stats: [[Defence]] and [[Strength]]. There are 2 safespots in this room, they are in between the two dummies on the wall near the door, to get into it line up the knight so he is above the space in between and you are on the dummy near the door, then run to the other side of the dummy so he slides into that pocket you lined him up in. as seen in the picture. However this safe spot does not work like most safe spots because you can't attack through them.[[File:Safespot cammy room.png|thumb|One of the safe spots.]]

'''The Camelot training room is a safe area, so players will not lose items when they die, except the food and potions they have already used.'''

Players '''will''' retain their life points and stats if they exit the miniquest with lowered stats. For example, if the player starts with 780 life points and leaves with 130 life points, they'd be left with 130 life points when they go outside. It is therefore recommended that when battles turn sour, players should allow themselves to be killed, as opposed to leaving via the exit. If players leave or die, they will have to start all over again.

==Combat Strategy==

A high combat level is important for success in this miniquest. Attempting the knight waves with less than combat level 90 is difficult. It is highly recommended that players have at least level 70 of each combat stat ([[Attack]], [[Strength]], and [[Defence]]) before trying this miniquest. Players should also wear their best armour for maximum protection against [[melee]], preferably [[Barrows equipment]] ([[Barrows - guthan's set|Guthan's]]), which has high defence bonuses. Players are advised to bring an [[abyssal whip]] and a good special attack weapon such as a [[dragon dagger]].

A player can also combine tactics, drinking [[super attack]]/[[Super strength|strength]] [[potions]] and then attacking with a poisoned dragon dagger.

For players planning to fight the knights head-on, it is strongly recommended that they bring a good number of restore potions, as the knights drain stats very quickly.

'''Note:''' If the player is going to use the poison-and-hide method, keep in mind that if a single knight is not defeated within a certain time limit (around 5 minutes), he will simply disappear and the player will have to start all over again. Refresh the poison once in a while.

You can get the knights stuck behind the dummies on the walls to let your health regain or let them die from poison.

If you have enough money to afford it, a very effective strategy is to use full [[Barrows - guthan's set|Guthan's]] armour to heal life points throughout the fight. [[Guthan's warspear]] also easily lets you change combat styles, as it is capable of slash, stab, and crush [[Attack types|attacks]].

If you cannot afford full Guthan's, then a [[Dragon spear]] is a good option since it has stab, slash and crush attacks and you can use the special attack to push a knight around the other side of a dummy, giving you the opportunity to heal.

If a [[Bandos godsword]] is accessible (either bought or borrowed), it can finish a fight much faster than a whip. With 80 in all melee stats, it's possible to hit over 200 on every wave; using its special attack can also help when fighting Sir Lancelot.

'''Note:''' If the player is about to die and wishes to leave, clicking on the door is not a good idea. If the player dies as he or she is exiting, it is treated as a normal death and he or she '''will''' lose their items. It is better to die within the training grounds, so the player will respawn with full life points and stats.

Regardless of combat strategy, food is essential. Because the knights drain combat stats ([[Attack]], [[Strength]] and [[Defence]]) with their hits, players should bring at least:
* 1 [[super attack|Super attack]](4)
* 1 [[super strength|Super strength]](4)
* 1 [[super defence|Super defence]](4)
*As many [[monkfish]] (heals 160 life points each) or better [[food]] as you can fit in your [[inventory]]. [[Shark]]s (healing 200 [[life points]]) or [[tuna potato|Tuna potatoes]] (at 220 [[life points]]) would be better, but richer players may consider using [[rocktail]]s because they heal 230 lifepoints each and can heal a player up to 100 life points higher than their maximum.
*[[Saradomin brew]]s, although expensive, are also an option. Note that it is highly recommended to bring more [[restore potion]]s (or [[super restore]]s) if you use this option.
Note: A [[ring of recoil]] will be a lot of use.

Note, it is still possible to poison and run with a dragon dagger, you must use your special on the knights and hide behind the dummies (shown below), special when you can.
There are multiple safespots available within the ground, to allow you to rest and give you time to use your potions and food, as well as let the last 100-150 life points be drained with a poisoned [[dragon dagger|dragon dagger (p++)]]. This should be utilised throughout the fight.

==Rewards==
This miniquest can be done only once. Players cannot reenter the training room if they've already completed the challenge.<br clear="all" />
* 20,000 [[Attack]] experience
* 20,000 [[Strength]] experience
* 20,000 [[Defence]] experience
* 20,000 [[Constitution]] experience
* Two new [[prayer|Prayers]]: [[Chivalry]] (level 60), and [[Piety]] (level 70) ( '''After the combat update, Rigour and Augury will also be unlockable with Piety without dungeoneering tokens or requirements''')
* The ability to change one's [[death|spawn point]] to [[Camelot]], as an alternative to [[Falador]], [[Lumbridge]] and [[Soul Wars]]. Players can access this feature by speaking to [[Merlin]].

==Trivia==
*If you die in the training room, the death music that plays when you die will play twice.
*[[Sir Gawain]] wields a [[halberd]], but if players take cover behind the dummies, he isn't able to attack them, even though all halberds have a two-square reach.
*[[Sir Lancelot]] wields a sword that resembles the old version of [[Silverlight]]. He also attacks at around the speed of a [[dagger]] or scimitar, which is slightly faster than the other knights (who attack at the speed of a [[longsword]]).
*The [[Saradomin sword|Saradomin sword's]] [[special attack]] can be used even though it is partially magic based and gives magic experience. However, the [[Korasi's sword]] special attack cannot be used.
*If you talk to [[Merlin]] straight after he sets your respawn point to Camelot, "[[Nothing interesting happens]]" appears in the chat box. The same thing is achieved when talking to [[Arianwyn]] straight after completing [[Regicide]], as well as when trying to talk to [[Barnabus Hurma]] after completing [[Zogre Flesh Eaters]].
*The Camelot training room is required to be completed for [[Nomad's Requiem]]. This is because you need to unlock Piety, which has the use in Nomad's Requiem of preventing damage and stat drain from the haze.
*Every knight attacks with a slash sound, even [[Sir Pelleas]] who wields a [[warhammer]], and [[Sir Kay]] who wields a mace. It is unknown whether this is intentional.
