Exciting news for Runescape fans and players as developers are bringing back one of the most iconic quests to the game.
Jagex announced the return of the 'While Guthix Sleeps' mission in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), one of the all-time best games on Android. The mission's comeback went live on July 10th as a reimagined version of the quest that first came out 15 years ago.
According to the British game developer and publisher, the revamped quest offers a fresh take on the original challenge.
"Designed for veteran players, the quest’s return for Old School RuneScape brings with it the same attention to detail as its original RuneScape release," said Jagex in a press release. "But with new rewards and improvements for a modern audience," they added.
Players can expect not only battles against dangerous enemies, and unlock valuable rewards. But also a deeper dive into RuneScape lore.
"While Guthix Sleeps" takes players into an epic narrative with the mission to thwart the schemes of a dangerous Mahjarrat. They will also discover an ancient Guthixian Temple. There, within its depths, they can unlock valuable rewards and face off against hordes of Tormented Demons.
The "While Guthix Sleeps" made its debut in 2008 as the first Grandmaster quest for Old School RuneScape. The mission is known for pushing veteran players with complex puzzles and challenging combat. Players can still expect these features in the revamped version, Jagex said.
Players who conquer "While Guthix Sleeps" will be rewarded handsomely. They can also gain access to important in-game rewards and repeatable combat encounters.
Old School RuneScape is available to download and play for free on PC, iOS, and Android devices. The game features cross-platform progression. In turn, players can effortlessly switch between PC and mobile platforms without losing progress.
