* Players will need to be able to get to the [[Aktaari Cave]]. **The most popular way is to use the [[Teleportation Machine]] to teleport to [[Aktaari Cave]] (the code is 9664 as of October 28th 2025). This requires players to have at least 25 [[Teleportation]] skill, and it will also consume 2 [[Aquamarine|Aquamarines]] every time. **Alternatively, players can skip the [[Teleportation Machine]] and run through [[Errruka's Cave]] to reach [[Aktaari Cave]] instead. Realistically, however, the high level enemies and acid swim will prevent most players from being able to do this.

*Players typically gather in the main hallway of [[Red Wing Casino]] shortly before an egg run, and at the designated time someone will summon a portal to the [[Teleportation Machine]]. *The players will all go through the portal and use the [[Teleportation Machine]] to travel to the egg run start room [[Cheb]] in [[Aktaari Cave]] using the code 9664 (verified correct October 28th 2025). *There will usually be around 8 minutes left on the timer before the egg run actually begins, and players use this time to form groups and buff up.**It is customary for players to stand on the table in [[Cheb|Cheb's]] room if they want someone to cast [[Mutation: Extra Toes|Extra Toes]] (run speed buff) on them. This buff is invaluable for keeping up with the fast pace of egg runs. After you get [[Mutation: Extra Toes|Extra Toes]] please get off the table so the buffers don't accidentally try to cast it on you again.

All throughout [[Aktaari Cave]] players will find large timers on the wall, displaying a 60 minute countdown in real time. When the timer reaches zero, the door into the [[Aktaari Cave]] opens and the egg run begins. When egg run begins, the timer resets and begins counting down another 60 minutes: this is how much time players have to complete the egg run. When the timer reaches zero again, all players will instantly be teleported back to the start room [[Cheb]] and the door will be locked again for another hour, until the next egg run begins.

When the timer reaches zero and Before the first time you start an egg run begins, all players talk to [[Cheb]] in the starting room. He will automatically receive give you a questnamed "Stop the Aktaari! (Repeatable)" under the Dungeons section of your quest log. The quest objectives are to participate in the killing of three Royal Aktaari (minibosses found along the way during the event) and to smash all of the Royal Eggs in the dungeon. The quest will automatically complete and give you the rewards as soon as you satisfy all the objectives.

**If you respawn, you'll be taken to the entrance of [[Errruka's Cave]], but from there you can cast Recall Beginnings to get back to the egg run start room [[Cheb]] (assuming you came to egg run via the [[Teleportation Machine]]). You can then run back through the tunnels to rejoin the other players.

**<b>It is highly recommended that you go into your settings <i>Settings &gt; Keys &gt; Targeting</i> and bind a key to <b>"Select Next Non-Combatant"!</b> . This will make it infinitely much easier to find & target the Royal Eggs, [[Xogrite Chunk|Xogrite Chunks]], and lootable corpses among the sea of players. Get in the habit of regularly tapping your Select Next Non-Combatant hotkey as you run through each room to make sure you don't miss anything important.*** By default your U key is bound to <b>"Use Selected"</b> (also found in <i>Settings &gt; Keys &gt; Targeting</i>). Many people also find this hotkey very useful during egg runs, as they find it easier than constantly clicking the buttons above eggs and corpses with the mouse.* Some rooms will contain a special miniboss named <b>Knight Egg</b>. You'll know one is nearby whenever you see a bunch of Maggot enemies appear. Make sure to loot the Knight Egg's corpse after you see maggots! (Don't forget to use that Select Next Non-Combatant hotkey).* Some rooms will contain a <b>"royalRoyal" </b> miniboss, such as the Aktaari Princess and Aktaari Queen. Make sure you participate in these fights because these royal kills are necessary to complete the event quest, and they also drop good loot.**These royals are also accompanied by <b>Royal Guard </b> enemies; these also drop good loot, so make sure to get them too!* At Near the end of the dungeon is a portal. The portal goes back to [[Cheb]], but <b>DO NOT TAKE THE PORTAL!do not take the portal immediately!</b> Instead, ignore the portal There are still a couple of eggs and follow royals. Just keep following the other players past it, to the final room with the final royal enemy.

* After the egg run is complete, most players will teleport back to [[Cheb]] by taking the portal at the start room by either end, or casting Recall Beginnings, or else by logging out & then logging back in.

* Egg runs usually finish long before the 60 minute timer reaches zero. However, if you wait in the zone until the timer reaches zero and then talk to [[Cheb]], <b>you will get an <b>additional reward </b> of 2 more pieces of equipment and 2 more skill books</b>.
