Introduction

Are you ready to brave the icy winds and face off against the formidable Wintertodt in Old School RuneScape? This guide will help you navigate through the chilling challenges and emerge victorious. Before we dive into the strategies, let's understand what the Wintertodt is all about.

What is the Wintertodt?

The Wintertodt is a unique boss encountered in the game that resides in the Wintertodt Camp located north of Falador. It is a powerful being associated with the cold winter season and requires players to use their Firemaking skills to defeat it. The goal is to keep the Wintertodt's temperature low while managing your own hitpoints effectively.

Requirements and Recommended Gear

To participate in the Wintertodt activity, you'll need the following:

• 50 Firemaking for lighting the brazier
• Warm clothing or equipment resistant to cold, such as full Pyromancer gear
• An axe to chop Bruma roots (at least level 1 Woodcutting)
• Food to restore hitpoints during the fight (e.g., trout, salmon)

Entering the Wintertodt Camp

To begin your adventure, head to the Wintertodt Camp by taking the boat from Port Sarim to Great Kourend. Once you arrive, make your way north past the Shayzien House until you reach the camp entrance.

1. Speak to Ignisia, the Pyromancer, to learn more about the Wintertodt and receive your reward points.
2. Light the brazier near the entrance using your Firemaking skill.
