The Theatre of Blood is a linear raid. Thus, there is no randomization involved, and the bosses will always be encountered in this order.
- The Maiden of Sugadinti (level-940)
- Pestilent Bloat (level-870)
- Nylocas Vasilias (level-800)
- Sotetseg (level-995)
- Xarpus (level-960)
- Verzik Vitur (level-1040, final boss)
Despite some of the bosses being spiders, vampyres and dark beasts, they will not count towards a Slayer task when killed inside the Theatre; thus, the slayer helmet and black mask bonuses have no effect.
The bosses will also have their hitpoints scaled depending on the team size. With a team of three or fewer players the bosses will have 75% of their original hitpoints, with four players the bosses will have 87.5% of their original hitpoints and a team of five players will leave the bosses' hitpoints unchanged.
Death within the Theatre
If players die within the theatre, they are placed outside the fighting area, and can only proceed if other team members succeed in completing the current challenge.
Dying in the Theatre of Blood is a dangerous death - Hardcore Ironmen who die within the theatre will lose their Hardcore status, regardless of whether the team successfully completes the challenges or not. Any disconnection or logout during a fight is treated as a death, and will likewise result in loss of Hardcore status. Should a player logout when not in an encounter, such as in the hallways of the theatre, the player's death will be treated as a safe death. Upon logging back in to an unsafe death, the game will attempt to reunite the player with their party and, if successful, will place the player in purgatory. If unsuccessful, the player will be treated with a full death and will have to pay the item reclamation fee to retrieve any items lost.
Other modes
Entry Mode
An easy variant of the Theatre of Blood intended for beginners to warm themselves up and gain experience before attempting the Theatre in Normal Mode. Every enemy encountered is significantly weaker than their Normal Mode counterparts and the mechanics themselves are adjusted to be less fatal.
Similarly to the Chambers of Xeric and Tombs of Amascut (without death-changing invocations), players have unlimited attempts at the bosses. If the team wipes in a room, they will be given bandages.
As a result of being easier than Normal Mode, raids completed in this manner give 80% less loot than Normal Mode, with no chance of obtaining any unique item, including the Lil' zik pet.
Hard Mode
A hard variant of the Theatre of Blood is also available for players up to the challenge. Similarly to the Chambers of Xeric "Challenge Mode", all enemies in the Theatre of Blood are significantly stronger, this time with new or modified mechanics in play. Completion of Hard Mode can yield Sanguine dust to reskin Lil' Zik, and the Holy and Sanguine ornament kits to recolour the sanguinesti staff, ghrazi rapier and scythe of vitur, with the latter kit only working for the scythe.
Teams are also awarded with 15% more common drops when received (with an additional 15% if the raid is completed within the challenge time), along with a 13% chance of obtaining unique items (compared to the standard 11%),[1] with the avernic defender hilt being less common in Hard Mode than Normal Mode in order to make the other uniques slightly more common.
In order to access Hard Mode, players must have completed the Theatre in Normal Mode at least once.

Rewards
Upon defeating Verzik Vitur, a trapdoor will open under her throne, leading to her treasure vault.
Inside will be up to five large chests based on the amount of players in the team, with each player being able to loot one chest. An arrow will point to which chest is for that player to search.
If a unique reward is obtained, a purple aura will emit from the chest, much like how the ray of light turns purple for the player who obtains a unique reward in the Chambers of Xeric. If no unique reward is found, the chest will contain three rolls from the common drop table. Of the unique rewards that players can obtain from the chest include:
Avernic defender hilt, used to upgrade the dragon defender- Pieces of the Justiciar armour:
Ghrazi rapier
Sanguinesti staff
Scythe of vitur
Players can earn Sinhaza shrouds through repeated completions of the Theatre, claimed from the Mysterious Stranger.

Performance & records
Performance Details
Upon entering the treasure vault, players may read the strategy table by the grand bookshelves to view the overall performance of the team, while spectators can read the war table to view it.
Here, players may view the death counts of each team member, the total deaths in the performance, as well as the time spent in each wave.
The Most Valuable Player (MVP) is listed on the top of the interface, and is determined based on the performance of the individual player, such as damage dealt and the number of deaths.
The challenge time (the time spent fighting the bosses) and the overall time, which includes the time spent between waves, can be seen on the bottom of the interface.
Scoreboard
Next to the entrance to the Theatre of Blood is a scoreboard, which displays personal and global statistics for the Theatre of Blood, such as number of attempts, number of completions, number of deaths, and completion times.
Music unlocked
Players are not required to participate in the raid to unlock all of the music, and may spectate one to do so.
