Test your Necromantic skills with a new quest and combat arena!
Out now in RuneScape, “Ancient Awakening” is the first update for the fantasy MMORPG’s Necromancy season. Following the launch of Necromancy earlier this year, “Ancient Awakening” sees players delve deeper into the lore behind the skill as they explore the secretive island of Ungael.
Joined by a full adventuring party, featuring Raptor the mysterious warrior, Aster the butler, and Bill, the architect who featured prominently in RuneScape’s previous Fort Forinthry season, players will discover a powerful ritual underway which will have devastating consequences for the world of Gielinor. During the quest, players will fight to stop the ritual, led by the necromancer Zemouregal, and in doing so prepare themselves for an epic new boss battle launching in November.
“Ancient Awakening” also features a new player-vs-monster combat activity which tests players on their necromantic combat skills, pitting them against waves of Zemouregal’s minions. With each run of the Ungael Arena comes new challenges, adding more complexity to the activity. Completing the encounter will unlock new titles and weapon cosmetics, as well as the Raptor’s infamous outfit.
For RuneScape skillers, “Ancient Awakening” expands the Fort Forinthry area with a Botanist’s Bench which will help players prepare Necromancy potions for the upcoming boss fight in November. The delightful Granny Rowan will be on hand to assist with decanting your brews and nattering your ear off.
Necromancy is a standalone combat skill which launched in August alongside a huge expansion including a new hub area, nine brand-new quests, and two deadly boss fights. Necromancy is free for players up to level 20 and scales to level 120 for RuneScape Members. For more information, please visit the RuneScape website.
RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
