Sol Heredit and the Fortis Colosseum
Sol Heredit, the Emperor of Fortis, is in the game. He is the hardest fight here and the one built least out of damage, so most of this post is him. Alongside that there is a row of combat dummies at...

World map, Wilderness gates and the trinket reveal
The world map window is a real map now: pan it, zoom it, search it, and it draws every region we have rather than the one you are standing in. Alongside it, the Wilderness stopped ignoring you -...

Barrows, lootbeams and item values

Yama, Master of Pacts
Yama is the headline: a three-phase solo boss fought in the real imported arena, reachable from the Bosses tab of the teleport panel. Behind him sits a fix to a line of sight bug that had every...
