Description: The Void Knights are a military order who have helped serve Guthix and his penchant for balance since the early Fourth Age.

Starting Point: Void Knight Outpost Is this MiniGame Safe to play?: Yes Getting Started: When you enter the city, head south and cross the gangplank. You will now be in the landing boat waiting area. You will depart after 5 minutes after the last departure or when you have 25 people in the boat at once.
 As soon as a game has started a couple of icons will appear in the upper left and right corner of your screen. The following icons will appear in the upper left corner. The squigly line inside a box shows the void knights health, the sword shows the total amount of damage that you have dealt, and the minutes show how long is left in the game. |  Recent PostsBlog Archive |
In the upper right corner a number of icons will appear showing the health and of location of the portals. It will also inform you whether the shield protecting a portal is enabled or disabled.
The point of this mini-game is to destroy all the portals before the Void Knight in the middle is killed. There are 4 portals total, each weak against a certain attack style. Whenever a portal is destroyed, the Void Knight will heal 50 hp.
There are 4 types of portals: North South East and West Portals. Defeat all four portals and the game is over, and you are victorious.
This may sound easy, but there are a lot of monsters invading the island, eager to kill the Void Knight. All of the monsters can teleport, not just the shifters! Your attack style does not affect the type of monster appearing. When a monster cannot be walked through, this also means you cannot range, magic, or use a halberd over them.
Strategy:
Once the boat arrives on the monster-infested island, you have 2 options:
- Destroy the portals
- Defending the Void Knight in the middle
Destroying the Portals:
When you attack the portals, monsters will attack you to try and defend them. The monster that you have to worry about the most is the Spinner. It has the ability to heal the portals' health very fast, so when one appears, make sure you kill it quickly.
Portals have a fair amount of hitpoints, but are easy to destroy with a large group of people. It is very useful to split into two or three groups. One or two groups should go attack portals, and the other should stay and protect the Void Knight. If you have brought along a team that you gathered yourself, place jobs for each person, or stick them with groups.
When you attack the portal from behind, the creatures (except for shifters who will teleport next to you) can't attack you, though you should go attack a spinner when it appears.
The portals have indestructible magic shields protecting them when you start out the game. However, after a short amount of time, one of the shields will break down and the portal will become vulnerable to attacks. After a little while longer, another will become vulnerable, then another, then another. The order that they become vulnerable is completely random each game.
When going through the gates, make sure you close them. Otherwise, the creatures can easily enter and swarm the Void Knight to death!
Defending the Void Knight:
If you decide that you don't want to attack the portals, you may also try to defend the Void Knight. He/she has a decent amount of hit points, but if no one defends him/her or the gates, they will be dead in minutes. A good way of defending them is to attack the Shifters that appear by the Void Knight first.
After that you may want to go through the gate and kill some Torchers and Defilers, since there are a lot of these and they can deal a lot of damage to the Void Knight over the gates.
Another way to defend the Void Knight is to chop down nearby trees and then use them to repair the broken gates. This requires a hammer and an axe. Kill any Ravagers to prevent them from destroying the gates again.
There are four towers located at the walls. You can climb one of the ladders and use them to attack creatures on the ground from there. Shifters can still teleport up the towers, so watch out! It is highly recommended to mage or range at one of the two towers near the southern gate, as that one is most heavily attacked. Using Ancient Magicks at these really helps to protect the Void Knight and gives great magic experience.
Failing:
You may fail in destroying the portals before the Void Knight is killed. This isn't that bad, just try again!
The amount of coins you will receive is determined by adding a 0 on the last number of your combat level. Example: A level 108 would receive 1080 coins per win.
If you work hard enough and collect 100 points and cash them in all at once using the 100 pt option, you will receive an extra 10% experience.
You can also use the 10 pt option to get a 1% experience bonus.
