Guide to Dig North of Trollheim Where You Fought Kamil

To solve the master cryptic clue "Dig in front of the icy arena where 1 of 4 was fought," you must travel to the frozen plateau located north of Trollheim. This specific location is the arena where players encounter the boss Kamil during the Desert Treasure I quest. Once you are standing directly in front of the entrance to the icy arena, use a spade to dig and progress to the next step of your Treasure Trail.

Understanding the Clue Riddle

The riddle "Dig in front of the icy arena where 1 of 4 was fought" refers to the four legendary bosses encountered during the Desert Treasure I quest. These bosses—Dessous, Fareed, Damis, and Kamil—each guard one of the four elemental diamonds required to complete the quest.

Kamil, the guardian of the Ice Diamond, is fought in a secluded, snow-covered arena at the end of a treacherous path north of the Troll Stronghold. Because he is one of these four specific quest bosses, the clue uses the "1 of 4" phrasing to point players toward his chilling domain.

Precise Dig Location

The dig spot is situated in the icy wastes north of the Trollheim mountain. Specifically, you are looking for the entrance to the arena where the fight with Kamil takes place.

1. Navigate through the mountain pass north of the Troll Stronghold.
2. Follow the path past the area populated by Thrower Trolls.
3. Continue north until you reach the transition into the heavy snow area.
4. The "icy arena" is the final destination of this path. You must dig in front of the entrance to this arena.

According to community-documented maps, the exact coordinates place you just outside the gate or transition point where the boss encounter was triggered during the quest.

Recommended Travel Routes

Reaching the area north of Trollheim can be time-consuming due to the mountainous terrain and aggressive NPCs. Here are the most efficient ways to reach the dig site:

Trollheim Teleport

The fastest method is using the Trollheim Teleport spell (requires level 61 Magic and completion of the Eadgar's Ruse quest). This places you on top of the mountain. From there, you can climb down the northern rocks and head directly toward the icy path.

Stony Basalt

If you have completed the Making Friends with My Arm quest, you can use Stony Basalt to teleport to the Troll Stronghold/Troll Weiss area. This provides a very quick route to the northern snowy regions.

Walking from Burthorpe

If teleports are unavailable, you must travel north from Burthorpe, through the Death Plateau, and navigate the winding paths of the Troll Stronghold. This route is significantly longer and requires navigating past various aggressive trolls.

Requirements and Inventory

While this is a Master-tier clue, the physical requirements for the dig spot itself are relatively light compared to the quest that originally brought you here.

• Spade: Essential for digging up the clue reward or the next clue scroll.
• Clue Scroll (Master): Must be in your inventory to trigger the dig spot.
• Spiked Boots: While spiked boots are traditionally required to traverse the icy path during Desert Treasure I, official notes confirm that spiked boots are not required to reach this specific master clue dig spot.
• Stat Restoration: The icy area naturally drains your run energy and some combat stats over time. While not strictly necessary for a quick dig, bringing a Restore potion or Energy potion can make the return trip easier.
• Combat Gear: You will encounter high-level aggressive trolls (including Thrower Trolls) on the way to the arena. Ensure you have enough hitpoints or defensive gear to survive the trek.

Master Clue Scroll Properties

Master clue scrolls are the highest tier of Treasure Trails, released on 6 July 2016 as part of the Treasure Trail Expansion. They are significantly more difficult than Elite clues and often require high skill levels or specific quest completions to finish.

This specific cryptic clue does not require any items to be equipped (unlike "Emote" clues), meaning you can focus entirely on survival and navigation to reach the icy arena entrance. Once the dig is successful, you will either receive a Reward Casket (master) or another clue scroll step.
