Elf warrior can be found in Lletya and parts of Tirannwn. They are featured heavily during Regicide and subsequent quests. They were also seen in the Gnomecopter Tours for free players. They are sometimes killed to obtain Teleport crystals.

Locations

• Elf Camp
• Lletya

Strengths and weaknesses

Elves have high defence and excellent weapons - the level 108 warriors use the crystal pike (reach of a halberd, speed of a whip), making them difficult, though not impossible to range or mage. Guthans works well here for their weakness is stabbing. It hits more often so it heals you more often. If you do use this method then it is suggested you bring some food at least. Another popular method to kill Elves is to equip a Leaf-bladed sword and high prayer boosting armour (e.g. proselyte) whilst activating the "Protect Melee" prayer (negating all damage). Players can easily recharge their prayer at the nearby altar after a few minutes of fighting, and also take advantage of the elves weakness to stab attacks. The level 90 warriors use crystal bows. Melee is recommended when fighting both types. Killing the elves in Lletya (this requires Mournings End Part 1 to be started) is more convenient than killing those in the Elf Camp as there is a nearby bank and altar, which is upstairs in the house where Arianwyn is located. However, only the elves in the Elf Camp drop charms.

Elves live far longer than humans, and those that choose a military life have decades to hone skills that humans must train in months. As a result, elf warriors are among the most dangerous defenders of any town or city in RuneScape. They wield vicious pikes and crystal bows, but are weaker in the face of stabbing attacks.

Slayer Strategy

If you have 43+ prayer you can just use protection prayers and restore your prayer points using the altar on the second floor. The ladder is located North of the bank. A good strategy for killing elves efficiently (with 68+ summoning) is to use a combination of a Bunyip and protection prayers. Summon a Bunyip and kill elves in Lletya (requires starting Mourning's Ends Part I) until your life points get down to 400 or 500, then switch on the protection prayer required for the elf you are fighting. Use the protection prayer until your Bunyip recharges your life points to nearly full, then switch back to killing without a protection prayer until your life points are around 400 or 500 again. When you run out of prayer points, there is a Prayer altar on the 1st floor (not ground floor) of the eastern-most building in Lletya. When your Bunyip has been used up, there is also a bank in Lletya. For this strategy to be most effective, a player will want a high prayer bonus and high range/stab defence. If a player doesn't have 68 Summoning for a Bunyip familiar, then they might try a Regen bracelet and/or the Rapid Heal prayer. As far as a weapon goes, the elves are weak to stab attacks so Korasi's sword, leaf-bladed sword or a staff of light might be a good choice as those weapons have a fairly good stab attack. Many players however use an abyssal whip. Though they are weak to stab attacks, godswords and whips still usually hit more often than a leaf-bladed sword. If a player could afford it, a chaotic rapier or a chaotic longsword would be very useful due to their extremely high stab bonuses.

Some lower levelled players maybe find that the safest method is to use range or mage and use the fences and benches as safe spots. Be reminded that the elf warriors with pikes have a halberd's reach, so halberds should not be used due to the fact that they are very slow.

For faster slaying, there is a single Level 90 Elf Warrior on the same floor as the altar so you don't even need to climb up and down stairs. There is also a safespot in the entrace of Lletya, just beyond the bench.

Upstairs there is also a food store run by Gethin. You can buy bread, lobsters, wine, cheese, and cakes there (stocks 10 of each).

Another alternative to complete this slayer task is to head over to the Elf Camp. This area has a fireplace as well as a fly fishing spot. Players can ultimately kill the elves there and stock up on their food supply by simply fishing.

The elves here drop plenty of green charms too. For players that can afford Guthan's, it is wise to bring them here and use it when their health reaches half. If those who could not afford, Bones To Peaches tabs work great as well. Players can bring a Dragon Battleaxe for their special which increases Strength by 20% to help in killing the elves at a faster rate. High Alchemy spells are recommended here due to the frequent drops of green dragonhide bodies, chaps, rune daggers and kiteshields. A gem bag bought with dungeoneering tokens would be useful as they drop quite a few gems.

Trivia

• This is one of the units to have been copied to FunOrb into Armies of Gielinor, although they are 2 different elf warrior units: elf archer and elf pikeman, in RuneScape they are still both called "Elf Warrior".
• Chaeldar is apparently "Irritated Intensely" by elves and says "Slaughtering them is definitely a good thing". Sumona also seems to dislike the elves saying that "Their dedication to trees, bushes and music is an affront to me."
