Now, follow the northern corridor to an area filled with Mighty banshee (level 91). In the four corners of this large hall, you will find rooms blocked by mystic barriers. Step through these barriers and then down the stairs. Pass through another mystical barrier into a room containing the boss of that monster race (see below). These bosses can be defeated in any order.
- Northeast barrier: Monstrous cave crawler (level 96) - 10 Slayer required
- Southeast barrier: Basilisk boss (level 96) - 40 Slayer required
- Southwest barrier: Mightiest turoth (level 96) - 55 Slayer required
- Northwest barrier: Kurask overlord (level 96) - 70 Slayer required
Note: Throughout the battles, each boss will summon several of his minions. It is advised that you focus all your attacks on the boss while ignoring their minions. Once the boss dies, the minions will disappear as well. Remember to have your Masked Earmuffs or the Slayer Helmet equipped at all time.

When you pass through the barrier to the northeast, turn on Protect from Ranged prayers and drink a dose of Super anti-poison. During the fight, the Monstrous cave crawler will poison you and reduce the duration of potions such as Super anti-poison. An Anti-poison totem will not protect against this monster's poison. The only way to block any poison is by using the Poison purge aura.
