How To Unlock Fossil Island Teleport?
To unlock the dig site teleportation for Fossil Island is to use the southernmost strange machine inside the House on the Hill. It is located northeast of the Museum camp. Using a strange machine will unlock the option to teleport to a house.
You will find a Magic Mushtree inside that house, which can unlock the Mycelium Transportation System. These magic mushtrees are the key to travel around Fossil Island. However, there is another twist; this transportation will only work if you discover it by walking to their location.
Other Ways Of Teleportation To Fossil Island
The OSRS has given many alternative ways to get to the Fossil Island. Here are the two of them:
Glider And Spirit Tree Transportation System
If you are unable to unlock the digsite pendant, you can use the Glider transportation system with the Spirit Tree transportation system. But this route will not directly take you to the Fossil Island. You must travel to another destination before reaching there. If you are in the Varrock, you can use the spirit tree in the Grand Exchange to teleport to the Gnome Stronghold. After reaching there, ascend the tree and use the Glider to “Lemanto Andra,” which is marked as a castle on the map. It will take you near the digsite where you can find a boat that take you to Fossil Island.
Ring Of Dueling
The ring of dueling is made when a player casts an Lvl-2 enchant on the emerald ring. It will give you 37 magic experiences and 8 teleports. You can use this ring to teleport to Al Kharid PvP Arena, also known as Emir’s Arena. Afterward, use the gnome glider or use a Fairy Ring code and run west to the gnome glider. You must pass the quest of One Small Favour before teleporting to the Fossil Island.
