Jagex has just dropped what could be the hardest raid in Old School RuneScape: The Fractured Archive. This monstrous new raid features eight brand-new bosses designed to challenge only the toughest players. But the question is, do you have the gear, the skill, and the mettle to survive this gauntlet?

The Fractured Archive Opens

It’s been four years since the release of the previous raid, The Tombs of Amascut. OSRS is finally getting another massive challenge. The Fractured Archive takes players into an ancient vault where the god Guthix lies sealed away alongside powerful artifacts and forbidden knowledge. Small parties of adventurers and even brave solo raiders can now venture into the Archive to prevent these dangerous secrets from falling into the wrong hands.

Those who conquer these trials will earn a slew of new items to help them tackle future adventures across Gielinor. As always, the rewards are a big part of the excitement, and some of the gear highlights include:

  • Ascension Crossbows: Dual-wielding, rapid-fire ranged weapons built for players who want to unleash a barrage of attacks.
  • Zorya’s Tome: An enchanted tome that grants players a fast-paced, burst-damage Special Attack spell.
  • Rondache: An ancient shield magically enhanced to absorb and reflect enemy blows back at their attackers.
  • Obligator: A hard-hitting, best-in-slot Crush megarare for players looking to maximize their melee damage.

The Fractured Archive is officially live today in OSRS, so gather your friends and venture into the vault to uncover its secrets. Or, if you think you’ve got what it takes, go it alone and see if you can conquer one of Gielinor’s toughest challenges!
