The Poison Waste is a large, mostly inaccessible, marshy area of Tirannwn, south of Isafdar. It is located on the western coast of Gielinor's mainland, and also has a southern coast. To the east of the Poison Waste, the Poison Waste Dungeon can be found, dumping toxic waste into the area.

To the south-west of the Poison Waste is a small village named Zul-Andra, where the villagers sacrifice themselves to their serpentine god, Zulrah. Players can visit this area after completing Regicide up to the point where they access Port Tyras. Players can visit an island in the Poison Waste by using a fairy ring (code DLR), which will teleport players to a small island in the swamp (indicated by the travel icon on the map). This small island contains badgers and Broken Handz, an NPC who will allow you to use his telescope for spectating other players fighting Zulrah.

Players can collect sulphur on its mucky shores, the location where coal-tar can be collected from the sludge itself. The sulphur is used during the Regicide quest, and the coal-tar is used in both Regicide and Mourning's End Part I.

Trivia

  • The Backwater has been formed by the Poison Waste spilling into the nearby waters.
  • The Poison Waste was once home to an unnamed Dragonkin who created serpents in the waste, but abandoned them as failures. One of these serpents drastically grew in size and intelligence, eventually becoming Zulrah.
