Oubliette

An oubliette with a ladder, candles, an oak and steel cage, oubliette spikes, a skeleton guard and decorative blood.

An Oubliette is a room designed to be built below the Throne Room in conjunction with the Throne Room trap in a player-owned house. It can be built at level 65 Construction with 150,000 coins.

There are 6 hotspots available:

  • Floor - Attacks and injures anyone unfortunate enough to have fallen in the cage through the Throne Room or via a teleport trap from the dungeon.
  • Prison - Prevents escape from the trap, allowing more damage to be inflicted. Players must pick or force the lock. Note: If you remove your cage, you will lose the cage and anything inside it.
  • Guard - Attacks any players during PvP (player-versus-player) or challenge mode.
  • Ladder - Allows access to the throne room if it is there.
  • Decoration - Ornamentation.
  • Lighting - Ornamentation.

The centre floor is where players fall into from a Throne Room.

Tentacle pool Tentacle pool icon 71 20 Buckets of water, 100,000 coins 326

Rocnar Rocnar icon 83 150,000 coins 387

The Rocnar, Flame pit and spikes can be built without a cage. If you have already built a cage with a trap inside, both the cage and the contents inside must be removed to upgrade the trap.

Prison

To hold players dropping from a throne room above. Players have to pick the lock (using Thieving) of the gate, or force the lock (using Strength) of the gate, to get out. The stronger the cage, the harder it is for trapped victims to break out.

Players cannot open the cage from the outside, as the game will stop you from doing so. If you need to upgrade the contents inside the prison, you must remove the cage first.

Trivia

  • One of the traps players can add is called a "Rocnar", which when spelt backwards becomes "Rancor". This was a monster from Star Wars episode 6, which tried to kill the protagonist Luke Skywalker.
  • The hanging skeleton requires two skulls to build, although there are four hanging skeletons in the room.
