The Primeval Valley

Three maps of cavemen, sabretooths, mammoths, raptors and pterodactyls north of The Trailer Park. It's an archer's country: bring a bow.

The maps, climbing north: The Primeval Valley (Combat 90, or Archery 40 with a bow).
A bow and Archery 40 opens all three, whatever your Combat. The last one starts past Combat's 99, so a bow is the only way in there.
Most monsters sit up on ledges and plateaus that only an arrow can reach.

An arrow lands at least 50% of the time here, whatever the monster's defence, so an archer in the 40s can do real work.
The flyers and the big beasts take far more from arrows, and nothing at all from a sword.

Old Rex (boss)	110	232,500	35% less from Melee; 35% less from Magic; 140% from Archery (weak to archery)	Frost

The Mammoth Matriarch stands on the great plateau of The Primeval Valley: level 108, 219,500 health, arrows only. Everyone who hurts her shares the kill.
Old Rex sits on his throne on the high plateau of The Primeval Valley: level 110, 232,500 health, and only arrows reach him.
The Golden Raptor. About 0.2% of raptors come back gilded instead. Everything it drops is worth ten times the plain one, and it's the most likely thing in the valley to drop a Raptor-claw ring.
