RS3 Rune Mythos Quest Guide

By Helen Gray | Created: August 23, 2023 | Last updated: December 18, 2024 | Read Time: 4 minutes

Welcome back to another informative Chicks Gold guide! As we all know, RuneScape 3 has recently dropped a new skill and an abundance of quests and adventures to embark upon, so we’re here to see you through them all! This article will focus on Rune Mythos; we will discuss this quest in-depth, covering requirements, recommendations, and strategies. 

So, now that we know what we’ll be discussing, let’s dive right into this exciting new quest and better understand it. So, let’s dive into the action! 

Breaking Down RS3 Rune Mythos Quest 

The RS3 Rune Mythos quest is the second in “The First Necromancer” quest series, following from Necromancy!, which we have already covered in our blog series and you can find here. Just like its predecessor, this quest is relatively short, which is excellent for those players looking to collect achievements quickly. However, unlike Necromancy! It's a pay-to-play quest, which will be the theme moving forward for the other RS3 quests to do with the dark underworld. 

So, what will you need to take on this next dark quest? 

RS3 Rune Mythos Quest Requirements 

Fortunately, for those wanting to embark on their RS3 Rune Mythos quest adventure, there are few requirements to begin. So, let’s take a look at those!

Skill & Quest Requirements

  • Necromancy! Quest
  • 24 Necromancy (skill level)

Item Requirements 

  • 200 noted pure essence
  • Eight basic ghostly ink 
  • Four regular ghostly ink

Not only will you need little to get you through this Rune Mythos quest guide, but there are fortunately no enemies to be faced when you embark upon it.

Getting Started with Rune Mythos in RS3

To get things started, you’ll need to speak with Malignius Mortifer next to the ritual site in the City of Um. You can choose to speak with him regarding necromantic runes and incantations if you wish, but that isn’t essential for progress. 

Malignius will teach you the lesser essence ritual and provide you with the needed materials. To complete the ritual, you’ll need four light sources and glyphs (Change I x2 and Elemental I x2). Ensure you don’t misplace or lose these items; Malignius will not provide them a second time. 

Performing the Lesser Essence Ritual

Before you cast the ritual, you may need to remove pre-existing glyphs from the area to ensure you have adequate space for your ritual. So, ensure you check the surrounding area for any obstructions of glyphs or other debris. 

Once you’re ready to perform the ritual, place the focus on the pedestal and prepare for a Lesser Essence ritual. If you happen to have missed any obstructions, such as a broken piece of the vicinity, you can right-click and repair it. 

When you have successfully completed the ritual, locate the ritual chest and retrieve impure essence. 

After the ritual is said and done, head northeast of the city and make your way through the dark portal, ensuring you have at least one United impure essence in your inventory. You must then begin attempting to craft spirit runes, at which point Rasial the First Necromancer will appear, demanding you “stop playing with things you clearly aren’t ready for.” 

You’ll then have to speak with Rasial, cycling through the conversation before he disappears, allowing you to craft the spirit runes. When you complete the crafting, return to Malignius to receive your reward! 

RS3 Rune Mythos Quest Rewards

As will all quests you complete in RuneScape 3, you’re granted rewards, so let’s take a look at those received for taking on the RS3 Rune Mythos quest. 

  • 1 Quest Point
  • 1,500 Necromancy XP Lamp
  • 250 Runecrafting XP Lamp
  • Lesser Bone Shield incantation 
  • City of Um Teleport incantation 
  • 2 Treasure Hunter Keys

Rune Mythos FAQ

To finish off our guide, we have found some frequently asked questions regarding this quest to ensure you have all the necessary tools and knowledge to tackle this exciting adventure. 

What is the Official Quest Length?

Fortunately for those players who like to get things done quickly, this quest is stated as “Short to Medium”, so you’ll be able to achieve success in next to no time! 

Why Don’t New Runes Work With the Rune Pouch?

It is explained by an NPC in conversation that the Rune Pouch does not hold the new runes and that an alternative is being searched for. Instead, Jagex announced before the release of The First Necromancer that they hope to release a Necromancy Pouch in the future to fulfill this purpose.
