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

Old School RuneScape's latest update immerses you once again in the tumultuous politics and 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 minotaur demon who has been amassing power in the Chasm of Fire, biding his time for the perfect moment to unleash his fury.

If you've completed A Kingdom Divided and dealt with the Royal Titans, this update continues the saga seamlessly. After confronting Yama’s Judge 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 accompanied by the Disciples of Yama, a fervent group of fire-worshipping cultists dedicated to his cause.

Designed for high-level players, the battle against Yama requires completion of the relevant quest, top-tier combat stats, and the best-in-slot gear. Whether you choose to tackle this challenge solo or with friends, the rewards are well worth it. Defeating Yama grants access to unique loot such as Demon Tallow for brewing Surge Potions, the Chasm of Fire Teleport Scroll, new Grimoire Pages, and a few other hidden treasures.

The Chasm of Fire has also been expanded to include a dedicated mining and smithing area. Here, you can extract Crimson Lovakite, a rare resource unique to this fiery abyss. With it, you can craft Oathplate, a new armor set that significantly enhances your late-game arsenal. Even if boss fights aren't your thing, the new mining and smithing opportunities provide ample reason to explore the Chasm.
