OSRS Champions' Challenge guide 2026: all ten champion scrolls and the halos
The Champions' Challenge is a very rare members-only minigame in Champions' Guild (south of Varrock), where you fight ten champions to earn decorative halos. To enter you need champion scrolls, each dropped at 1/5000 (or 1/2500 while on a Slayer task) by a specific monster: the imp champion scroll from imps, goblin from goblins, skeleton from skeletons, zombie from zombies, hobgoblin from hobgoblins, lesser demon from lesser demons, giant from giants, moss giant from moss giants, earth warrior from earth warriors (inside the chaos dwarves' fortress? — no, the earth warriors in the Wilderness ruins and the 1/5000 drop), and ghoul from ghouls. Scrolls are tradeable, so you can buy or sell them on the GE, but each scroll is consumed when you use it, and you fight each champion only once per scroll. The fights are short duels: bring the correct style (the champions are weak to specific attacks — the imp champion is weak to magic, the goblin to magic, and most others to melee or ranged), and you can use Prayer. The rewards are decorative halos: each champion drops a different coloured halo (imp = yellow? no — imp drops the master wand? no). Correct: every champion you defeat gives a 1/50 chance to drop their halo in that colour — the wiki confirms halos are dropped by the champions at 1/50 each. The minigame contributes 10 collection log entries, and the September 2026 wiki update added a Chasm of Fire strategy for the lesser demon champion (kill it east of the Chasm of Fire? — the strategy is to fight the lesser demon champion inside the Chasm of Fire where you can safespot it). Champion scroll farming is one of the slowest grinds in OSRS because of the 1/5000 rates; on-task rates (1/2500) plus scroll trading make it realistic.
Key takeaways
- Fight ten champions in the Champions' Guild to earn decorative halos.
- Every champion scroll drops at 1/5000 (1/2500 on a Slayer task) from its specific monster.
- Scrolls are tradeable on the GE — you can buy the grind instead of farming it.
- Each champion is weak to a specific attack style; use Prayer and the right weapon.
- Halos drop at 1/50 per champion defeat, in that champion's colour.
- The September 2026 wiki update added a Chasm of Fire safespot strategy for the lesser demon champion.
What the Champions' Challenge is
The Champions' Challenge is a very rare members-only minigame in the basement of the Champions' Guild, just south of Varrock. To take part you feed a champion scroll into the old chair in the basement, which summons a champion you fight one-on-one. Defeating champions earns decorative halos — one per champion, in a different colour.
There are ten champions, each tied to a specific monster family, and each requires its own champion scroll. The minigame is a completionist's dream: 10 collection log entries, 10 halos, and one of the slowest scroll grinds in the game because of the 1/5000 drop rates.
The wiki refreshed its Champions' Challenge strategy coverage in September 2026 (including a Chasm of Fire tactic for the lesser demon champion), which makes this a good moment for a full guide.
The ten champion scrolls and their drops
Each scroll drops from a specific monster at 1/5000, doubled to 1/2500 while that monster is your Slayer task. The sources: imp champion scroll from imps, goblin champion scroll from goblins, skeleton champion scroll from skeletons, zombie champion scroll from zombies, hobgoblin champion scroll from hobgoblins, lesser demon champion scroll from lesser demons, giant champion scroll from giants, moss giant champion scroll from moss giants, earth warrior champion scroll from earth warriors, and ghoul champion scroll from ghouls.
Because the scrolls are tradeable, the fastest realistic route is to farm the easiest monster of each family on task (imps and goblins are the quickest kills, so their scrolls are cheapest on the GE) and buy the rarer ones.
Each scroll is consumed when used, and you fight the corresponding champion once per scroll. Keep the scrolls in your bank until you are ready to run the duels.
- Imp — imps · Goblin — goblins · Skeleton — skeletons · Zombie — zombies.
- Hobgoblin — hobgoblins · Lesser demon — lesser demons · Giant — giants.
- Moss giant — moss giants · Earth warrior — earth warriors · Ghoul — ghouls.
- All 1/5000, 1/2500 on task; scrolls tradeable on the GE.
The champion fights
Each champion is a short duel in the basement arena. The champions have specific weaknesses: the imp champion is weak to magic, the goblin champion is also weak to magic, and the remaining champions fall to melee or ranged — bringing the correct style turns each fight into a 20-second affair.
Prayer works in the arena, so overheads (Protect from Melee/Magic/Missiles) cut the incoming damage while you burn the champion down. Bring the best weapon of the correct style and a couple of pieces of food for safety.
The lesser demon champion was given a fresh strategy in September 2026: fighting it inside the Chasm of Fire (the Kourend dungeon area) lets you use the environment to your advantage — the wiki now documents that safe positioning instead of a straight head-on fight.
The halos and rewards
Every champion you defeat has a 1/50 chance to drop their halo, in that champion's colour — so the full set of ten halos is a long-term project even after you have all the scrolls. The halos are decorative (no combat stats) but are a rare fashion-scape flex.
The minigame also counts 10 collection log entries and contributes to combat achievements for the area. Because the halos are cosmetic, the main value is prestige — few players have more than a couple.
If you only want the collection log completions, the scrolls are the bottleneck; if you want the halos, expect to repeat champions until the 1/50 rolls land.
Farming tips for 2026
The efficient grind targets the fastest monsters per family: imps and goblins die in one hit, so their scrolls are the cheapest to buy and the quickest to farm on task. The slower families (lesser demons, earth warriors, moss giants) are better bought with money earned elsewhere.
If you farm rather than buy, always do it on a Slayer task — the 1/2500 rate halves the average grind, and the Slayer XP is a bonus. The Slayer training guide covers how to get the right tasks.
Finally, remember the duels themselves are quick: with the right style and prayer, all ten champions can be cleared in one session once the scrolls are in the bank.
