General Information

• Pest Control is a combat-based minigame. Players must defend the Void Knight from an onslaught of monsters, while at the same time destroying the portals from which the monsters spawn. Players board Lander, which transport them to islands under invasion. The activity is divided into three Landers which is determined by the players combat level.

• This is a 'safe' minigame. Players who die keep their items, respawn on the lander, and can rejoin combat immediately. In addition, Hitpoints, Prayer points, special attack, and run energy are fully restored at the end of each game.

• In order to receive commendation points, a player must consistently maintain their activity bar throughout the duration of a game. Should the activity bar drop below the required amount, it will turn red and no points will be awarded for that game.

Location

• Ancient Wizard (Teleport) → Minigames → Pest Control

Minigame Objective

• Keep the Void Knight alive.

• Destroy all 4 portals before the Void Knight is killed. This is much more commonly done however, the Void Knight can easily be killed. A small number of players should defend him. It can be worth checking the Void Knight's status after each portal kill and switch to defence for a while if the knight is being swarmed or has less than half health. Each portal that is killed will give the void knight 50 hitpoints.
