How To Reach Whispering Swamp In RuneScape: Dragonwilds

To reach Whispering Swamp, players must either head to the northeastern part of the map or proceed with the Dragon Slayer Primary Quest in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Both will make players reach their destination, but the Quest marker will make it easier for them to locate the exact location of it.

Before embarking on a journey to the Whispering Swamp, players can prepare some poison potions since some of the enemies can inflict a poisoning effect upon attack, like the Putrid Rats.
