Kindred Spirits | Sliske’s Endgame

You can probably tell by the recent spate of mysterious disappearances that dark and twisted schemes are afoot in Gielinor (when are they not?). Find out what’s going on as you puzzle your way through a twisted tale with an edge of dark humour.

Discover more about the history and lore of the Barrows Brothers as events take an even more sinister turn. Are things ramping up for Sliske’s Endgame? Who is behind the disappearances and where is this all leading? Seeking the truth will strain your moral fibre - are you ready to play a little game?

You will also need to have completed the quest Missing Presumed Death. Extra Requirement - during Mega May you must also complete Meg's Case "Robber From the Darkness Part 7".

As well as this, the quest is full of lore-heavy rewards await you as this quest cuts right to the heart of the Barrows Brothers themselves. Discover more than ever about who these undead warriors were in life, as well as their personal struggles. You’ll also uncover more of Sliske’s schemes as the build up to the endgame itself really kicks into gear.
