OSRS Ghommal's Hilt Guide: Your Combat Achievement Trophy

Ghommal's Hilt stands as the tangible reward progressing alongside your journey through Old School RuneScape's challenging Combat Achievements system. It's more than just a cosmetic shield-slot item; each tier unlocks powerful passive benefits, useful teleports, and unique interactions that significantly enhance your gameplay, particularly in PvM scenarios.

This guide breaks down each tier of Ghommal's Hilt (1 through 6), detailing the Combat Achievement points required and the specific rewards unlocked at each milestone.

What is Ghommal's Hilt?

Ghommal's Hilt is an untradeable, equipable item received from Ghommal (or Laidee Gnonock for the final tier) as you accumulate Combat Achievement points. It occupies the shield slot but offers no combat stats itself. Its value lies entirely in the passive perks and teleports granted upon unlocking each tier. While most benefits are passive once unlocked, some, like the Barrows prayer drain nullification and the Lucky Penny effect, require the Hilt (or its combined Avernic version) to be equipped.

How to Obtain Ghommal's Hilts

You obtain each tier of Ghommal's Hilt automatically upon claiming the rewards for reaching the required Combat Achievement point threshold. Speak to Ghommal (or Laidee Gnonock for Hilt 6) near the Warriors' Guild entrance. Points are cumulative across all task difficulties. See our main OSRS Combat Achievements Guide for more details on earning points.

Multiple copies of any unlocked Hilt tier can be claimed if needed.

Ghommal's Avernic Defenders (Hilt 5 & 6)

Upon reaching the Master (Hilt 5) or Grandmaster (Hilt 6) tiers, you gain the ability to combine your Hilt with an Avernic Defender. This creates Ghommal's Avernic Defender 5 or 6, respectively.

  • The combined item retains the full combat stats of the Avernic Defender.
  • It also gains all the benefits and teleport options of the corresponding Ghommal's Hilt tier (including requiring equipping for Barrows nullification/Lucky Penny).
  • This is a powerful combination, saving an inventory slot while providing top-tier stats and utility.

Ghommal's Lucky Penny (Hilt 5+)

Unlocked alongside the Master tier (Hilt 5), Ghommal's Lucky Penny is a separate pocket-slot item.

  • When equipped, it provides a 5% chance not to consume a charge when using charged items (e.g., Scythe of Vitur, Tumeken's Shadow, charged jewellery).
  • This offers long-term savings on expensive charges for high-level PvM.
  • Note: Requires Hilt 5 to obtain, and must be equipped separately.

Conclusion

Ghommal's Hilt is the central reward driving progression through the OSRS Combat Achievements system. From the initial convenience of daily GWD teleports to the endgame power of unlimited travel, Slayer helm upgrades, combined Avernic Defenders, and charge-saving effects, each tier offers significant value. Aiming for the next Hilt tier provides concrete goals for improving your PvM skills and pushing your account further.
