In the far part of the Lizardman Canyon, there is a multispot where all the Lizardmen are aggro.
This is just an alternative to using cannon – perhaps for people who want to finish this task really fast, or who want mage experience or a AFK profitable range/mage training method. Otherwise it’s probably the fastest way to get your first Xeric’s talisman. Note: easy diary doubles the chance of getting a Talisman from 1/250 to 1/125 – pures can do it.
Go east down the ladder where people normally cannon. Go beyond that until you get to the end of the canyon. If you don’t have fairy rings, Shayzien memoirs takes you close, or Xeric’s talisman teleports, or a Kourend tele from POH.
Bursting
Go to the south part (in the area of the map shown above), where there are about 12 lizardmen. 1 is always not aggro and will not follow.
Bring darts if they’re not automatically attacking you. Run into where the cart is so they stack in one square and then burst/blood burst them until they’re all dead. Because lots of them automatically aggro, it takes only a few seconds to stack them up and burst them down. They also have 1 magic defence, meaning you can wear full initiate/pray gear, rather than needing mage bonuses (as with nechs and dust devils). A task of 100 lizardmen here can take 10 minutes to complete. Bring darts, antidote ++ and a few pray pots.
AFKing for mains
All you need to do is trap the one Brute that spawns within melee distance (the highlighted one in the picture above – use NPC Indicators plugin in Runelite for this – shift and click it to tag it). The lizardmen will then spawn and attack you constantly from range, with range, and have the accuracy of dagganoths (i.e. they hit once in 500 attacks!). With antidote ++s you can tank them for 12 mins, or for 10, until your aggro runs out.
Great for if you want to get charges for your xeric’s amulet or get the charges needed (5k) to mount a Xeric’s tally in your POH.
