This Dungeon harkens back to base game combat, it is a relatively simple dungeon that can is designed to be completed in the early game of the expansion. This means the dungeon does not require advanced tactics, high levels, or complete optimization. Each monster is pulled directly from the associated {{Skill|Slayer}} Area, and as the player has been forced to fight each of these monsters before, they should be well versed in their dangers.

===Manual Clear===
Manually clearing the {{ZoneIcon|Ancient Sanctuary}} is a good way to get to the next dungeon, {{ZoneIcon|Underground Lava Lake}}, as soon as possible.
Changing equipment sets to be able to fight each monster with Combat Triangle advantage can lower the required levels, especially {{Skill|Hitpoints}} required to clear the dungeon efficiently. The player should already have setups available from clearing each monster in the {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}}, but they will look similar to the following {{Skill|Melee}} build.

The above table includes equipment from slayer areas and dungeons unlocked by completing this dungeon, this is because they are often direct upgrades and it would be silly to not mention them. Clearing the {{ZoneIcon|Ancient Sanctuary}} once for its unlocks, getting as many upgrades as possible, and coming back will often be more efficient than continuing to use the relatively mediocre stats from {{ItemIcon|(P) Divine Helmet|Divine Armor}}
* Prayers: {{Icon|Stone Skin|type=prayer}} & {{Icon|Battleheart|type=prayer}}
* Potion: {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}} will be required for this setup. If you don't have access to this potion you will need to manually eat a bit.
* Point of Interest: {{POIIcon|Dark Waters}}


{{ItemIcon|Meteorite 2H Sword}} when used with the {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Warrior Ring}} should clear quicker than {{ItemIcon|Divine Sword|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Divine Scimitar|Divine Weapons}}, but as it does not have any damage reduction, can be more dangerous.
Just follow the Agility obstacles up to the point you can build them. If you can't build obstacle 5, 6, 8, 9 you will need {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|104}}.


The {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} is the best available weapon at this point, and should make clearing the dungeon very simple. Ultima also comes with 8% damage reduction, making the loss of a shield less impactful

The {{ItemIcon|Spectral Ice Sword}} is another upgrade that is unlocked by completing this dungeon once, but it is typically worse than {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} at this stage.
This Setup allows you to fully idle your first clear in about 6-8.5 minutes.
{{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} / {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}} are also an option, the dungeon will take over an hour to complete then though.
