Temple of Ikov FAQ
01Can I do Temple of Ikov without Ranged 40?
Yes, the Ranged 40 requirement is bypassable by using darts or throwing knives against the Fire Warrior.
02Do I need to weigh -1kg?
Yes, you cannot cross the lava bridge unless your weight is -1kg or less. Boots of lightness reduce weight by 4.5kg.
03Which side should I pick in Temple of Ikov?
Both complete the quest. Siding with Lucien requires killing Guardians of Armadyl; the good path has you kill Lucien instead.
04What are the Temple of Ikov rewards?
1 Quest point, 10,500 Ranged and 8,000 Fletching experience, the Armadyl pendant, the Pendant of Lucien, and optional boots of lightness and a shiny key.
05How do I beat the Fire Warrior of Lesarkus?
He is level 84 and must be damaged with ice arrows or thrown weapons while using Protect from Magic. Search the chests on the icy path for ice arrows.
06How long does Temple of Ikov take?
It is a Medium quest with a lava bridge, an icy arrow-collecting section and the Fire Warrior fight.
07Any ironman tips for Temple of Ikov?
Ironmen cannot get a yew longbow easily at low levels, so using darts or throwing knives bypasses both the Ranged 40 requirement and the Fire Warrior's immunity.
