Old School RuneScape heads back to Great Kourend as the new boss Yama emerges

- Yama, the Master of Pacts is the new boss
- Earn items like the Demon Tallow and Grimoire Pages on defeating him
- The Chasm area also features spots for mining and smithing now
Old School RuneScape’s latest update throws you back into the political mess and hellish underbelly of Great Kourend, where something ancient and angry has finally stirred. The new boss, Yama, Master of Pacts, is now live, a fire-drenched minotaur demon who’s been gathering strength in the Chasm of Fire, waiting for the right moment to strike.
If you’ve played through A Kingdom Divided (and you’re all done with Royal Titans), this one picks up right where that left off. After dealing with Yama’s Judge back in 2021, you probably knew that wasn’t the end of it. Turns out, the real threat was still lurking – wings, horns, hooves, and a two-handed axe that doesn’t play around. Yama is joined by the Disciples of Yama, a group of fire-worshipping cultists who’ll gladly burn for him.
The fight itself is designed for high-level players. You’ll need the quest completed, top-tier combat stats, and Best in Slot gear to even stand a chance. The encounter is available solo or with friends. Defeating him unlocks access to new loot, including Demon Tallow for brewing Surge Potions, the Chasm of Fire Teleport Scroll, some new Grimoire Pages, and a few other hidden surprises.
The Chasm itself has been expanded too. There’s now a dedicated mining and smithing area where you can gather Crimson Lovakite, a rare resource exclusive to this fiery pit. With it, you can forge Oathplate, a new armour set that adds some real weight to your late-game loadout. So even if you’re not into bossing, there’s still a reason to head down there.
