The Theatre of Blood, also known as TOB or Raids 2 is a linear (non-random) raid in old school Runescape and one of the most profitable ways to make money in the game. Many people are interested in learning this end-game content which is why we’ve decided to put together a TOB guide. This complete Theatre of Blood Guide for OSRS covers everything you need to know to master raids 2 as quickly as possible.
This guide is useful for complete beginners but also players who have been inside the theatre of blood and need a memory refresher.
Theatre of Blood Location
The Theatre of blood is located in the south-east corner of Morytania. Players who have completed a taste of hope can teleport here using the Drakan’s Medallion. Otherwise, players can use their ectophial to teleport to the ectofunctus and pay 10K to take a boat to the theatre of blood.

- 90+ Attack
- 90+ Strength
- 90+ Defence

Gear Requirements
Gear for Theatre of Blood osrs can range from an elite void tribrid (best for learning) all the way to bandos with void range/mage switches or even armadyl/ancestral switches depending on your budget. At a minimum, you should have at least 50M worth of gear.
The recommended minimum setup is: Elite void melee, dragon boots, dragon defender, tentacle whip, Amulet of Torture, Berserker ring (i), and a fire cape. Your inventory will consist of: void range helm, void mage hood, Blowpipe, trident, bandos godsword, ava’s accumulator (assembler highly recommended), necklace of anguish, crystal halberd (bloat specs), salve amulet (100% needed), rune pouch with barrage runes and the rest of your inventory will consist of 2 super combats, 2 ranging potions, 3 super restores and the saradomin brews.

Dying inside the Theatre of Blood
Once you die inside a room of the theatre of blood, you get taken to a spectator seat until your team finishes the room. If they succeed you will be able to partake in the next room. However, if your entire team dies (team wipe) you will all be expelled from the theatre of blood and have to retrieve your items from the chest outside which will cost you 100K.
Warning: Always collect your belongings right away. Dying once more (outside of the theatre of blood) due to any circumstance will result in the unclaimed items being lost forever.
(You wouldn’t be the first guy to PK right after wiping on a theatre of blood game, not fun.)
Hardcore ironmen will lose their hardcore status if they die inside the theatre of blood in osrs.
