Tour:

There are two ways of entering the Lost City. Initially, one must enter through the small shed located in the Lumbridge Swamp while equipped with a Dramen staff or a Lunar staff. However, once a player has completed Fairy Tale III, it is no longer a requirement to wield any staff to enter. Just use any fairy ring to get to the Lost City.
