===== Intro =====

The King Black Dragon, commonly referred to as **KBD**, is a three-headed dragon located in his lair, accessible only through the deep Wilderness. The King Black Dragon has a combat level of 276, which makes him one of the strongest dragons in 2009Scape. Players should not take this foe lightly, and they should always take an anti-dragon shield as his dragonfire breath is very deadly without protection. The King Black Dragon can also be killed as an alternative for a black dragon Slayer task and boasts the best odds (1/5000) for obtaining the Draconic Visage.

===== Location =====

KBD lair is located in deep wilderness adjacent to the lava maze. Quickest methods to travel are either the wilderness obelisk, Lava Titan teleport, Waka Canoe, or Ancient Magics teleport near the wilderness obelisk.

===== Strategies =====

KBD has interesting mechanics in the form of unique dragonfire. In addition to his regular dragonfire, the King Black Dragon has three unblockable breath attacks: Poison, Shock, and Freeze. Because the dragonfire aspects are the most dangerous parts when fighting the KBD and are unblockable. **It is highly recommended to stay within melee range with protect from melee.** Everytime the KBD melees you he is not using his dragonfire, if you stay out of melee range, the KBD will ONLY use dragonfire which cannot be fully blocked like his melee attack.

===== Rewards =====

The main reason to kill KBD is for Boss Kill count or the draconic visage for [[:activities:bosses:king_black_dragon:dragonfire_shield|dragonfire shield]]. KBD boasts the highest chance (1/5000) for the visage, however one can argue that you could kill over two normal black dragons in the same amount of time and make more money from them instead. It really comes down to preference. KBD is mostly never occupied, normal black dragons have some competition to kill them since there is only one viable location.
