Getting There
Before you consider going to the God Wars dungeon you should note that you require 60 strength or agility. There are 2 ways of getting there, the first is the method that you should aim to use as it's less time consuming.
This method involves using the trollheim teleport, this spell requires the completion of the Eadgar's Ruse quest. You will teleport to the top of trollheim and be very close to the God Wars dungeon. You will then need to proceed north following the directions on the picture below.
The second method involves walking from Burthorpe. This method is very slow and is simply a waste of time but it's worth mentioning. You require completion of the Death Plateau quest and Troll Stronghold. You will also require a pair of climbing boots to traverse the rocky mountain. You need to follow the blue route until you get to the thrower trolls and then proceed north past the boulder like usual.
Please note that you will need one rope when you first go to the God Wars, you use it on the dungeon entrance once and it's there permanently. The dungeon itself has a protection mechanic, in short, you need to wear an item dedicated to that god to prevent it's followers from attacking you. Ensure that you're wearing items to prevent this before going in otherwise you'll meet your death. More information can be found below.
Protection
Every inhabit of the god wars is aggressive therefore you need some form of protection as detailed above. This protection can be any item aligned to a god, i.e a Saradomin cloak will protect you from the Saradomin followers but not the others. You can mix and match to have full protection from all followers inside the dungeon. Each god has their own corner in the main dungeon therefore you won't need to protection for all 4 at the same time. In these corners is the entrance to the Fortress and bosses. Bandos followers inhabit the north west, Armadyl followers inhabit the south west and Saradomin followers inhabit the east and south east. The exception is Zamorak followers, they inhabit the entire dungeon as they're in combat with the rest of the followers.
The encampments are very different. Each encampment has the related followers inside plus zamorak followers attacking them. The only exception is the Zamorak encampment, it only has Zamorak followers. Below is a guide for the protection you need in each encampment and the items you can use to protect yourself.

Generals Chambers
Armadyl's Eyrie
- Location: South-west
- Requires: 70 Ranged (You cannot use boosts), a crossbow with a Mithril grapple

None of the Aviansie within the chamber can be attacked with Melee. A few zamorak followers inhabit the chamber so a Zamorak item might be needed.
Bandos' Stronghold
- Location: North-west
- Requires: 70 Strength (You cannot use boosts) and a hammer or Dragon warhammer
- General: General Graardor
The player must hit the door with the hammer, the requirement is 70 strength and you can't boost. Much like the Armadyl chamber the bandos chamber has a few Zamorakian followers inside so a Zamorak item will be needed.
Saradomin's Encampment
- Location: South-east
- Requires: 70 Agility (You cannot use boosts), 2 ropes for your first time
- General: Commander Zilyana
You require 2 ropes and 70 agility to enter the Saradomin chamber. Much like the others you can't boost to enter. It also has Zamorakian followers inside so protection is advised.

- Requires: 70+ Hitpoints to cross the river (You will not take any damage - you cannot use boosts)
- General: K'ril Tsutsaroth
To enter the Zamorak chamber you require 70 hitpoints and again, you can't use boosts. Your prayer will be drained when you jump across. This chamber is the only one that has no other gods followers inside therefore protection is only required for Zamorakian followers.
