Song from the Depths

Song from the Depths

The men of Rimmington are falling afoul of a sleeping curse and are not awakening; only mumbling fragments of a strange song as they dream. There’s another problem, too: the ruthless Raptor has taken it upon himself to resolve the crisis flail-first, and collateral damage isn’t high on his list of concerns. Lucille – wife to Waylan, one of the afflicted men – wants you to find the source of the mysterious malediction and bring her husband home, but beware: getting to the bottom of this might mean a deeper drop than you expected.

Song from the Depths is our latest fully voiced quest and – as the title suggests - features a beautiful, ethereal song, composed and recorded specially by our audio team. While it’s possible to play the quest without sound, following unearthly voices into the caves below adds fathoms to the experience. Along with this, the graphics team have gone to town on the arcane architecture that you’ll encounter as you venture into the caves beneath Rimmington. Be sure to take the time to absorb the glorious graphics and amazing audio for a truly immersive experience. It’s also non-instanced, so feel free to bring friends along for the ride.


Uncovering the secrets below and bringing Waylan back in one piece will earn you a unique crossbow, an amulet to teleport you to the Grotworm Lair (see below), and a damage reduction buff for the upcoming Queen Black Dragon boss fight.

How to start Song from the Depths:

Speak to Lucille in Rimmington.
Requirements:

You must be a RuneScape member to play this quest.
There are no other requirements.
The Grotworm Lair

The White Knights have also noticed that strange things are afoot in Rimmington, and have dispatched a team to investigate the Grotworm Lair in the caves near the town. Their leader - Sir Rebrum - has decided that discretion is the better part of valour, though, and is more than happy for you to make some headway on your own. The lair has three levels, containing creatures of levels 11, 91 and 167 respectively. Fighting its slimy denizens is great combat training for players of all levels, and slayer masters will assign the creatures as targets. Drops from defeating these monsters include a cosmetic cape emblazoned with a dragon’s head sigil, and bespoke bolts for the crossbow from Song from the Depths.

Next week, we’ll be unleashing the Queen Black Dragon boss fight, which will mean the following changes to the Grotworm Lair:


The portal on the bottom floor will become accessible to those with at least 60 Summoning, and you’ll finally be able to face the Queen Black Dragon in her lair.
Monster drop tables will be expanded to include items related to the new, draconic armour mentioned in May’s Behind the Scenes.
With some help from Thurgo, you’ll be able to upgrade the crossbow from Song from the Depths into a truly fearsome weapon.

So, until next week, brush up on your combat skills and get dressed to kill, because you’re going to need every iota of courage, tenacity and tactical nous to survive the most roasting royal rumble in RuneScape history!

Was a fun and easy quest. If you have to use a guide for this quest than I shall laugh at you for being a failure. I kinda wish they had released the QBD along with it since the grotworm cave is kinda useless with them not having their rare drops and the upgradeable crossbow is pointless if you can't upgrade it.

Got some new news from the quest. Jagex killed Surreal in the grotworm lair. I guess Jagex doesn't like us as a clan anymore and thus killed us.

One of the white knight corpses in the grotworm lair is named Sir Rial pronounced Surreal so they killed us.

That is actually hilarious!
Clearly Jagex wanted to commemorate Surreal as an amazing clan when it was closing, but didn't get the memo it came back around.

pretty easy quest the neck will probably help alot for QBD

Necklace only has 1 use a day for teleporting.

Sir Real. Now that right there is badass. Update gets a 5 from me just for that.

Looking forward to seeing the new look Rimmy as well as doing a new quest, albeit a little ( a lot?) on the easy side.

Keen to upgrade the new crossbow in a few weeks, if it's as "kickass" as they make it out to be.

i thought i read it reduces damage from QBD aswell

I haven't actually done it yet.. but I watched as RuneShark did it on his livestream. It seems kind of like a half thought out quest with a lot of things repeating, but then again which quest doesn't have that.

The thing that is somewhat a bummer to me is the fact that they are waiting a week to release the good drops for those new monsters and that they haven't given the option to update that new crossbow yet. But I guess Jagex has a reason for everything.
Who knows maybe there is a totally unknown and unexpected new dragon/ancient item that they do not want being released just yet.. guess we will just have to wait another week.
