Whenever Nomad is around, the very fabric of Gielinor is sure to be in peril. This time, he’s trying to harness energy from all the deceased souls in Gielinor. In this new quest, travel to the afterlife, ally with the dead, lay siege to his fortress in the Underworld and stop this madness in its tracks!

But your path will not be a set one. Do you have what it takes to make some difficult choices? And what connection will your decisions have on Sliske’s Scoreboard and that nefarious Mahjarrat’s mad game? There’s only one way to find out…

How to Start Take the portal south-west of the Edgeville bank to Soul Wars Island. There, talk to Zimberfizz to start the quest. Requirements You must be a RuneScape member You must have Level 75 in the following skills: Woodcutting. Mining. Construction. You must have completed the quests Dishonour among Thieves, The Mighty Fall, The Void Stares Back, Nomad’s Requiem, Throne of Miscellania and Heart of Stone. Recommended High combat stats and good equipment are strongly recommended for this Master difficulty quest. Lore fans may also wish to complete Blood Runs Deep and While Guthix Sleeps prior to this quest.

Rewards

Completing the quest will reward you with large XP lamps for several skills and some Invention blueprints to create some unique and powerful items.

Enjoy!

Remember, a series of manipulations and betrayals have led to this point, so danger will lurk around every corner.

Have fun and let us know what you think on the forums!
