Yama Emerges as New Boss in Old School RuneScape's Great Kourend

Old School RuneScape’s latest update plunges players back into the tumultuous politics and infernal depths of Great Kourend, where an ancient and malevolent force has awakened. The new boss, Yama, the Master of Pacts, is now live—a fiery minotaur demon who has been amassing power in the Chasm of Fire, biding his time for the perfect moment to unleash chaos.

For those who have completed the A Kingdom Divided quest and battled the Royal Titans, this update continues the saga. After confronting Yama’s Judge back in 2021, it was clear the real menace was yet to come. Yama, with his wings, horns, hooves, and a formidable two-handed axe, is ready to challenge players. He's supported by the Disciples of Yama, a fervent group of fire-worshipping cultists willing to sacrifice themselves for their master.

Designed for high-level players, the battle with Yama requires completion of the relevant quest, top-tier combat stats, and the best gear available. Whether tackling the fight solo or with a group, the rewards are worth the effort. Defeating Yama grants access to new loot such as Demon Tallow for brewing Surge Potions, the Chasm of Fire Teleport Scroll, valuable Grimoire Pages, and other hidden treasures.

The Chasm of Fire has also been expanded to include a new mining and smithing area. Here, players can extract Crimson Lovakite, a rare resource unique to this location. With Crimson Lovakite, you can craft Oathplate, a powerful new armor set that significantly enhances late-game builds. Even if boss fights aren't your thing, the Chasm offers compelling reasons to explore.
