Monday, 3 April 2023, Cambridge, UK – RuneScape’s Fort Forinthry Season continues with a brand new mini-quest and Slayer Challenge which introduces a new Slayer Master in fan-favourite character, The Raptor, as well as new skilling rewards. Fort Forinthry: Unwelcome Guests launches on Monday, 10 April for RuneScape members.
Following the events of the Fort Forinthry: Murder on the Border, the Fort is facing a growing threat of an unexplained hoard of undead wandering the perimeter. Players will join forces with their new Slayer Master, The Raptor, to vanquish the hoard and investigate where this brand new type of enemy is coming from. Unwelcome Guests will give players their first encounter with the villainous necromancer, Zemouregal, whose role in the story will be explained in coming updates.
Fort Forinthry: Unwelcome Guests introduces four brand new slayer creatures including the Fetid Zombie, Bound Skeleton, Risen Ghost, and Armoured Phantom. Players that conquer these new fiends will earn Slayer Trophies which provide increasing rewards, buffs and a rare drop of a new two-handed magic ability.
As with all Fort Forinthry updates, the Construction skill will play a vital role in continuing the story. Players will build the Guardhouse which will provide additional buffs for the Slayer skill which include additional damage bonuses and higher spawn rates for Elite monsters.
Fort Forinthry: Unwelcome Guests is members-content, for more information please visit the RuneScape website. RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
