Creatures of the Lost Grove
Introduction
For a creatures of the lost grove task you can choose between three different monsters: Moss Golems, Vinecrawlers and Bulbous crawlers. Moss Golems are the fastest, best xp/hr and best gp/hr, therefore the other ones are only worth doing if you are looking to get a soul.

Location and How to Get There
Creatures of the Lost Grove can be accessed through the monolith west of the incandescent wisp colony, west of Yanille.
⬥ The easiest way to get there would be through the fairy ring (code B J S) after repairing it with 5 Bittercap mushrooms.
• An alternative method is to run west from the Incandescent wisp colony, accessible via the portal in the Max guild garden, the elder divination outfit, or via the fairy ring south of Castle Wars (code B K P).
⬥ Alternatively, players can also utilise the Solak 
boss portal through Max Guild, War's Retreat or the teleport through the grouping system. The exact location for each monster can be found on the map in game.
Moss Golems
Moss Golems have hard hitting melee auto-attacks, and can hit from halberd range. When they lose HP, their heads pop off and spawn a Mossy Rock that also deals damage. To prevent taking too much damage, the Enhanced Devoted 
or cryptbloom 
are extremely important for survivability, as you will be praying 
regardless of which method you are using.
