How to access Fossil Island in OSRS
There are a few ways you can gain access to the island. One of the ways you can get there is by using a dig site pendant. When you use the dig site pendant you will be able to teleport to the barge. After you arrive you need to speak to the barge guard for a quick teleport. Another teleportation route from using the pendant is by using the pendant on a strange machine located in the southernmost house on a hill. You can unlock a new travel option that will teleport you inside the house. If you’re not looking to use a dig site pendant you can always try the glider transportation system or the spirit tree transportation.
If you’re going to use the spirt tree transportation system you’re going to want to teleport to grand exchange and use the spirit tree. From there you will teleport to the Gnome Stronghold. When you’re at the Gnome Stronghold climb up a tree to use the glider. Take the glider to a location option titled ‘Lemanto Andra’. You can also use the fairy ring system by using the code AKS or a ring of dueling where you can teleport to locations close to the dig site. If you want to use a ring of dueling be sure to teleport to a PvP arena and then head for the gnome glider in Al Kharid.
