How to unlock the Abyssal Whip in RuneScape Dragonwilds

To unlock the Abyssal Whip, you need to:

  • Craft the Smithing Anvil
  • Defeat the Abyssal Demon
  • Find and collect Ram Horns

How to craft the Smithing Anvil

You can craft the Smithing Anvil by simply leveling up your Smithing skill. You can craft a Smithing Anvil by collecting:

  • 6x Bronze Bar
  • 20x Ash Logs
  • 8x Coarse Thread
  • 1x Vault Core

The Abyssal Whip recipe will appear automatically after unlocking the Smithing Anvil. Once you do that, it’s time to defeat the Abyssal Demon.

Defeat the Abyssal Demon

The Abyssal Demon is a tier 4 boss found on the left-hand side of the Whispering Swap area. Defeating it will drop Abyssal Spine, which is one of the required ingredients to craft the Whip.

To defeat the Demon, your best bet is to use the Windstep spell and get to higher ground, preferably the broken building near the Demon, and use as many arrows as possible to take it down.

The Abyssal Demon can’t attack you if you are on higher ground, and that makes defeating the boss a cakewalk. You get 200 XP and 6x Abyssal Ashes as well.

Find and collect Ram Horns

The last step is to find and collect Ram Horns. These are found by killing Rams in the Stormtouched Highlands (the top left section of the map).

Like the Staff of Light, the Abyssal Whip is also a tier 4 melee weapon that you unlock in RuneScape Dragonwilds. Unlike the Legendary Weapon, this one is much easier to get your hands on.
