Ancient Awakening Launches - This Week in RuneScape

Written by developer on 09 October 2023. Posted in RuneScape News

Team up with Bill, Aster and the Raptor to take on Zemouregal!

New Quest: Ancient Awakening
Launching today!

So, you cracked open the mysterious dragonkin door and discovered an ancient tomb filled with long-forgotten dragon remains - and a cryptic map to a forgotten isle. Yay!

Unfortunately…. so did Zemouregal. He’s now heading to Ungael to claim an ancient power, and it’s up to you and your crew (Bill, Aster and the Raptor) to stop him!

Ancient Awakenings prepares us for the beginning of a new chapter - the Season of Necromancy, setting up the events that lead to our next Boss Battle in November, and marking the beginning of the end of the Fort Forinthry storyline.

You can read all about the new quest and its rewards in our blog. It generally takes about an hour to complete, and we recommend a combat level of at least 85. To get started, make sure you've completed the previous step - Dead and Buried - then speak to Overseer Siv at your Fort!
