Yama, New Boss in Old School RuneScape, Emerges in Great Kourend

Old School RuneScape’s latest update plunges you back into the tumultuous political landscape and the infernal depths of Great Kourend, where an ancient and enraged entity has awakened. The new boss, Yama, the Master of Pacts, has been unleashed—a formidable fire-drenched minotaur demon who has been amassing power in the Chasm of Fire, biding his time to unleash chaos.

If you've completed the quest "A Kingdom Divided" and battled the Royal Titans, this update continues the saga. After confronting Yama’s Judge back in 2021, it became clear that the true menace was still lurking—complete with wings, horns, hooves, and a menacing two-handed axe. Yama is not alone; he's accompanied by the Disciples of Yama, a group of fire-worshipping cultists ready to sacrifice themselves for their leader.

The battle with Yama is tailored for seasoned players. You'll need the quest completed, high combat stats, and top-tier gear to stand a fighting chance. The encounter can be tackled solo or with a team. Triumphing over Yama grants access to new rewards, including Demon Tallow for crafting Surge Potions, the Chasm of Fire Teleport Scroll, Grimoire Pages, and other concealed treasures.

The Chasm of Fire has also been expanded to include a dedicated area for mining and smithing. Here, you can harvest Crimson Lovakite, a rare resource found only in this fiery abyss. With Crimson Lovakite, you can craft the Oathplate, a robust new armor set that significantly enhances your late-game capabilities. Even if boss battles aren't your thing, there's ample reason to explore the Chasm.
