Fear meh. >:o

NOOOO! New grandmaster quest.. :(

Jagex Ltd.
 

Soul Wars has a dark underbelly that Nomad would rather you didn’t see. His disappearances have become more and more frequent of late, and each time he returns looking...different. It seems he has been working on something with dangerous implications for the whole of RuneScape, and there is a chance – but only a chance – that you can stop it.

Our second Grandmaster quest is wildly different from While Guthix Sleeps; instead of searching the world for answers, Nomad’s Requiem is set wholly beneath Soul Wars. Don’t be foolish enough to think that this makes it less challenging, however. Indeed, expect quite the opposite: this quest is densely packed with intricate puzzles, punishing environments and at least one battle that will push you harder than almost any other on RuneScape, whatever combat level you’ve reached. You have been warned!

Those who persevere and complete this quest will be rewarded with Zeal Points (among other things), which are stored at Soul Wars and can be spent in your own time. Zeal Points can be traded in for varying amounts of XP in any combat skill (except Summoning), Slayer XP, charms to train Summoning, or a pet Slayer creature. For a more detailed explanation of how Zeal Points work, check out the Soul Wars rewards on the Knowledge Base.

Some Tips:

Zybez
 
- Take along runes for Fire Wave (for use on barrels) and a pickaxe.
- Don't forget your familiar (turtle with brews)
- To kill the Decaying Avatar, destroy the spawning roots before he eats them to replenish his hp.


There's no-one madder than Nomad Ryan P J says about Nomad:
- Uses melee and magic style and attacks quickly.
- Does up to 28 damage/hit on regular strikes.
- Almost always hits (99 def + 316 armor can't block melee; 95 magic + black dhide can't block magic)
- Does 75 damage guaranteed early in the battle.
- Throws flame traps on the ground (I never stepped on them)
- Splits into four; they throws something that does 5 damage/hit every time. Attack him one by one. Mirages disappear after 1 hit, all disappear when you hit nomad. The one that moves last out of the four is the real one.
- Teleports you in front of him, freezes you, charges for about 6 seconds and hit for 1 less than your max hp (98 on me).
- Teleports you back to him if you try to leave the room.
- Blocks teleport magic.
- Your grave appears in the Soul Wars graveyard, and you spawn at Soul Wars, so you won't lose anything hopefully.
- Paintballr6 says that he used ruby bolts, d hide, and soul split. He brought 10 restores rest brews with tort.
- Im Nark says that when he gets to about 1/10 of his hp, he will start doing a very fast melee attack, but just throw up melee pray and you should be fine.

I'm really looking forward to doing this quest. The final boss is insane! Finally something I can call an epic challenge. I've been watching vids on the final boss and I'm a little worried though. So far the only people I've seen beat him are those with really high range/melee. Combat at least in 130s and every vid had the person using a packyak or steel titan.... Still I can't wait!
The new cape unlocked from this quest has the best prayer bonus in the game too and the 70 zeal points for beating it will go straight to 80 prayer. :P
