RIVER OF BLOOD RUNESCAPE RELEASE DATE SERIES

Queen Efaritay rocks up on the scene!Īll I can say is this: I called it. Did he really have a chance? After the player does enough damage to put the wyrd off for a bit, BOOM. What Vanescula calls a 'wyrd' has an even more insatiable bloodlust than the vyres, and attacks Drezel, Ivan, and the player. After the rabble has been dealt with, a strange creature wearing familiar clothing shows up. There doesn't seem to be much explanation to this, but it makes sense as this 'cure' was never proven by Ivandis. Vanescula then attempts to send some of her minions across the Salve, but the most recent bandage on the barrier causes them to turn feral.

Anyway! Using the recipe and the knowledge from our recent grave-robbing extravaganza, the Super Guthix Balance Potion is born! We don't know exactly what it will ultimately do to vampyres, but it's worth a shot, so we toss that bad boy down the well (pourin' one out for Ivandis).Īfter doing all we feel we can, Vanescula meets with the player on the bridge, but neither side has any intention of budging from their position, so the armies marshal, and it seems war is imminent. Through his transformation, Ivandis happens on a woman who helps him craft a sort of cure for vampyrism, but it's too late for Ivandis as he is too far gone and refuses to let himself become a vampyre completely, so it's implied that he faces the Salve one last time at Paterdomus, losing his life to the blessing that has become his own curse. Eventually, the curse began to impact him, and he slowly became a vampyre himself, forced to live out his days on the Moytanian side of the Salve.Īfter we learn all of this from a cleverly hidden away book in the Paterdomus library, we seek out the hidden tomb of Ivandis, and open it to find it without a body, but stuffed with goodies! A silvthril bar, some serum, a recipe, and some pages that, when added to 'Blood of the Covenant' create a cohesive end to Ivandis' tale. Although Drezel finds the text to be too fringe and 'heretical,' it seems as though the original blessing was done using a blood sacrifice of sorts, which ended in 6 of the 7 dying and Ivandis being the lone survivor. Not much is really known about how the Salve was blessed by the seven in the first place, and we get a bit more of a look into this. We are then asked to find a way to somehow strengthen the Salve. My nitpicking aside, this stuff was fairly simple and unremarkable. I know it's small, I'm simply suggesting that given the fact we are offered a choice (be it real or illusion) in almost every other quest decision, and it felt odd to be forced in this rather narrow course again. There's really no option other than KILL THEM ALL here. I realize that the men here were portrayed as a radical offshoot of your normal, workaday Zamorakianism, but I by no means align myself as a Saradominist. This was my first minor issue of the quest. We arm the men that are there and are directed to clear the temple of the Zamorakians. Business as usual here, just rallying the armies of Misthalin to fight at the River Salve! After getting this squared away, we meet Aeonisig and Captain Rovin at Paterdomus, preparing for the upcoming battle. We begin our journey following the assassination of Lord Drakan and the 'death' of the beloved Safalaan by speaking once more with King Roald. **OBLIGATORY SPOILER WARNING: The following potentially contains spoilers for the entire Myreque quest line** The capstone quest was one I'm not soon to forget, but for reasons good or ill? Read on, and we'll flesh that out on the way. Running through the murky swamps, climbing and making my way through the maze of Meiyerditch, defeating challenging boss battles, immersing myself in the dark undertones of despair, suffering, oppression. Maybe it was all or none of those things, but whatever it was, this was my magic series. Maybe it was the environment, the general atmosphere and gravitas that each installment brought with it. Maybe it was the concept of becoming a freedom fighter, and toppling a regime from within. Maybe it was the mysterious nature of a previously unknown race and land. Something about it transcended what I've always felt makes a solid quest line.
