The dark totem base is an item obtained from monsters found within the Catacombs of Kourend (excluding ghosts). All Superior slayer monsters encountered in the Catacombs are guaranteed to drop a dark totem piece.

This item can be combined with the dark totem middle and the dark totem top to create the dark totem, which is used to reach Skotizo, a demon that lurks beneath the Catacombs. This item is lost upon death.

Item sources

The drop rate of a dark totem piece (excluding superior slayer monsters and Skotizo) is determined by the number of hitpoints the monster has.

The exact formula is ${\frac {1}{500-hitpoints}}$
