With Deadman: Annihilation just days away, many players are scrambling to find efficient ways to train their accounts while also maximizing their chances of rolling Deadman Chests. While we don’t yet have full confirmation on exact drop rates, one requirement is clear: the NPC you kill must have at least 30 Hitpoints. Historically, higher-level NPCs have also tended to offer better odds for rare table rolls, making smart target selection incredibly important. Sufficient RuneScape gold can also be very helpful to you.

This guide highlights a collection of low-traffic, often-overlooked training spots that meet the HP requirement and are well-suited for AFK play, alt training, or quietly farming chest rolls without drawing unnecessary attention. The locations range from early-game to higher-combat options, giving you flexibility depending on your account’s progression.

Moss Giants near Varlamore

One of the best early-game options comes from an out-of-the-way moss giant location west of the main Varlamore Cipotus area. Tucked inside a small crevice near Railo’s Rise and close to the river used during Perilous Moons, this spot sees almost no foot traffic.

These moss giants have a fire weakness, making them ideal for Magic training, and there’s an excellent mushroom safespot that allows you to attack multiple spawns without being dragged out of position. While their standard drops aren’t particularly lucrative—mostly seeds and minor loot—they meet the HP requirement and offer a solid early chance at Deadman Chest rolls. This is an excellent place to park an alt while focusing on progression elsewhere.

Giant Bats beneath Yanille

Another surprisingly effective low-level spot is hidden right under Yanille, just east of the Wizards’ Guild. Enter the house south of the bank, head downstairs, and you’ll find a couple of giant bat spawns waiting.

This location shines due to its immediate escape route. If danger shows up, simply run back upstairs, and you’re instantly inside a guarded safe zone. The bats themselves exceed 30 HP, making them eligible for chest rolls, and they’re easy enough to kill while AFKing with Ranged or Magic. While not ideal for higher-level accounts, this spot is incredibly safe and efficient for early progression.

Ogres and Bats near Ardougne

Just north of Ardougne lies a lesser-known dungeon that requires 46 Thieving to access. Simply pickpocket the door—no lockpick required—and climb down the ladder inside.

You’ll find a mix of giant bats and, more importantly, ogres in the back of the dungeon. The ogres sit at 53 combat with 60 HP, making them a great balance of manageable kills and solid chest eligibility. The room contains numerous rocks that provide natural safespots, and like other locations on this list, it sees very little player traffic. While the regular drops aren’t remarkable, the low risk and proximity to safety make this a reliable training and farming option.

Ice Wolves near Wintertodt

One of the strongest hidden spots in this list is located at the Ice Wolf settlement south of Wintertodt. With Wintertodt now considered a safe area during this season, players can easily tank north to safety if needed.

Ice wolves are level 132, yet only have 70 HP, making them incredibly efficient targets. If Deadman Chest rolls scale with NPC level—as previous seasons suggest—these wolves are almost ideal. With the Sigil of Eternal Belief, you can maintain infinite prayer, eliminating the need for food or potions and turning this into a highly AFK farming method.

This area is multi-combat, so don’t risk more than you’re willing to lose, but for players looking to maximize chest roll potential, ice wolves are among the best options available.

Giant Sand Crabs on the Lanzin Coast

On the southeastern coast of Lanzin, below the Woodcutting Guild, lies a cave that is now becomes accessible immediately accessible thanks to quests being auto-completed this season.

Inside, you’ll find both standard sand crabs and giant sand crabs, the latter boasting 107 combat and 200 HP. While these crabs are fantastic for long-term combat training due to their massive health pools, they’re not ideal for Deadman Chest farming. The slow kill speed reduces the number of rolls per hour, making this spot more suited to leveling than rare drop hunting. Still, it remains a safe and consistent option for account progression.

Giant Spiders in the Stronghold of Security

The final—and arguably most proven—spot is deep within the Stronghold of Security beneath Barbarian Village. If you’ve already claimed your 10k reward, you can use the portals to skip floors quickly and reach the green level.

Here, you’ll encounter aggressive level 50 giant spiders with 50 HP and dense spawn density. This area has been a longtime favorite for Deadman veterans due to its consistent combat, aggressive enemies, and reliable drop tables. While it’s far from a safe zone, experienced players can often escape by weaving through doors. Many players have made significant profit here in past seasons from sigil and rare drops alone. A large amount of cheap Runescape gold can also help you a great deal.
