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

Old School RuneScape's latest update delves deeper into the tumultuous politics and dark underbelly of Great Kourend, where an ancient and enraged force has awakened. The new boss, Yama, the Master of Pacts, has arrived—a formidable fire-drenched minotaur demon who has been amassing power in the Chasm of Fire, biding his time to unleash chaos.

For those who have completed the A Kingdom Divided quest (and are done with Royal Titans), this update continues the storyline directly. After confronting Yama’s Judge in 2021, it was clear that the true menace was yet to come—complete with wings, horns, hooves, and a menacing two-handed axe. Yama is accompanied by the Disciples of Yama, a cult of fire-worshipping zealots ready to sacrifice themselves for their master.

The battle with Yama is tailored for high-level players. You'll need the quest completed, top-tier combat stats, and the best gear available to stand a fighting chance. The encounter can be tackled solo or with friends. Upon defeating him, you'll gain access to new loot such as Demon Tallow for brewing Surge Potions, the Chasm of Fire Teleport Scroll, new Grimoire Pages, and other hidden 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 unique to this fiery locale. With it, you can craft the Oathplate, a new armor set that significantly enhances your late-game arsenal. Even if boss fights aren't your thing, there's plenty of reason to explore this area.
