**Brine rats** are Slayer monsters that can be found in the Brine Rat Cavern near Rellekka. They are notable for being the only monsters to drop the Brine sabre. A Slayer level of 47 is required to fight them, and a spade is required to access the cavern.

They are only assigned to players who have progressed in Olaf's Quest to the point where they need to enter the Brine Rat Cavern. Alternatively, they can be killed as an alternative for a rat Slayer task provided the player has the appropriate Slayer level to do so.

Brine rats have relatively low Defence, but fairly high Strength and Attack. As such, it is recommended to bring food if players do not have high (~70) Defence.

Alternatively, players can bring Bones to peaches (tablet) to convert their bones drops to peaches, which heal 8 hitpoints each.

## Locations

## Tips

* Brine rats frequently drop raw swordfish and raw sharks in addition to raw rat meat, so bringing a tinderbox and a couple of logs may be advisable. Alternatively, Olaf, outside the caverns, has a permanent fire located beside him, so players can collect the unnoted raw fish/rat meat drops and cook them on his fire if they are willing to exit and re-enter the caverns multiple times.
* There are two safespots, one being the white bones to the south-west, and the other in the north west corner of the cave. If the brine rats are in the top half of the cave, you are able to safespot them from behind the bones in the corner.

## Drops

*Drop rates estimated based on 128 958 kills from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.*
