Obor
The free-to-play first boss
A hill giant boss beneath the Edgeville dungeon, opened with a Giant key dropped by hill giants. It's about as gentle as bossing gets, which makes it a friendly first kill on a fresh or free account. Nobody sticks around long once better options open up, but it's a good place to learn the loop.

Key mechanics
What can kill you at Obor, and what to do about it. For the full breakdown, see the OSRS Wiki link below.
Ranged boulder throw
From a distance Obor hurls rocks for heavy ranged damage — pray Protect from Missiles and he becomes almost harmless.
Crush melee up close
Stand next to him and he swaps to a crush hit that can spike into the low 20s — keep food up or simply fight at range under Missiles.

These figures are an independent-roll estimate: they treat every kill as a separate roll at the listed rate ( 1 − (1 − p)KC). Real drops can involve guaranteed rolls, point/invocation scaling or completion rewards, so the true odds may differ. A probability is never a guarantee — even far above 90%, the drop is never owed to you. Drops without a fixed 1/Nrate show “—”.
