Launched in 2001, RuneScape has been played by over 100 million players worldwide, making it the world’s largest Free-to-play Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), as recognized by the Guinness Book of Records. The game is set in the medieval fantasy realm of Gielinor, an open-world landscape of kingdoms, regions and cities that are home to a myriad of monsters and magicks, and propel players into a multitude of quests and adventures.

Old School RuneScape is calling on players to face their toughest questing challenge yet with the launch of Dragon Slayer II, an epic grandmaster quest and sequel to one of the most iconic adventures in RuneScape history. Launching today, Dragon Slayer II comes at the start of Old School RuneScape’s fifth anniversary year, and tells a story of intrigue, unforgettable battles, and high-end rewards!

In addition to the grandmaster quest itself, new free-to-play content linked to Dragon Slayer II has been released, including a new novice quest – The Corsair Curse – and settlement, Corsair Cove. Dragon Slayer II also sees the launch of a new questing guild, The Myths Guild, located on the south-western tip of the Feldip Hills and only accessible to players with 200 or more quest points and those who successfully complete the new grandmaster quest.

“More than 16 years after the original Dragon Slayer quest launched and gave players their toughest challenge, we’re giving them an even grander challenge to overcome with Dragon Slayer II, one of our most memorable adventures yet!” said Mathew Kemp, Senior Product Manager, Old School RuneScape. “2018 is a real milestone year for Old School RuneScape; in addition to celebrating our fifth anniversary next month, we’re of course looking forward to the launch of Old School on mobile platforms soon!”

30 years prior to the fateful day a mighty adventurer awakened Elvarg from her slumber, Crandor was a thriving and very much alive island, with a great tradition of mages and adventurers. The history of Crandor is a bold one, enough so that many a Crandorian earned the right to be part of the Champions' Guild! The Crandor we know today is very different from that of the past and there are so many questions that remain unanswered - your chance to uncover the secrets of the past starts with Dragon Slayer II.

Dragon Slayer II will lead you on an adventure across the game, visiting locations new and old. Along the way, you will uncover new lore on the Dragons, as well as revealing the story of many a brave hero. Expect to complete challenging puzzles, traverse through undiscovered dungeons with multiple threats and face against some of the most fearsome foes we've ever introduced into the game!

If you are experienced enough to take on the challenge, speak to Alec Kincade to start Dragon Slayer II. He can be found outside the Myths' Guild in the south of the Feldip Hills. The use of charter ships, spirit trees and walking through the feldip hills are all ways to reach the guild for those who haven’t done Corsair Curse.

Throughout the quest you will face many challenges, of which some are combat related. In any instanced portion of the quest where a substantial amount of combat is required, there will be an item keeper relevant to the quest. This works identically to other grave systems like Grotesque guardians/Zulrah, and only one can be utilised at any time. This means that any other graves will be wiped on death. Please remember that standard instances will work as normal, meaning all items will be lost on death!
