How to Get to Necropolis in OSRS: A Comprehensive Guide
Getting to Necropolis
The Necropolis in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a significant location, primarily known for its mining resources and its connection to the Beneath Cursed Sands quest. You cannot access it directly without first meeting certain criteria. Here’s the definitive path:
To access the Necropolis, you must first complete “The Zombie Camp” quest. This is a prerequisite. Once you’ve completed that quest, you can then enter the Necropolis, which is located south-east of the Zombie Camp, far west of Meiyerditch, and north-west of the Giant Vampyre Woods.
The specific area that players often seek to reach is the Necropolis Mine, located in the south-western part of the Necropolis. Crucially, you cannot enter this mine until after starting and progressing through the Beneath Cursed Sands quest. This means merely completing “The Zombie Camp” is not sufficient. You must have actually begun and advanced within the Beneath Cursed Sands quest before the Necropolis Mine will be accessible.
Once inside, you will find 5 granite rocks and 5 sandstone rocks. You’ll also find useful respawn points: a bronze pickaxe on a crate and a chisel on a broken table are provided for your convenience.
In short, getting to the Necropolis and its mine requires completing “The Zombie Camp” quest, then progressing into the “Beneath Cursed Sands” quest and exploring the area itself.
