I’m going to level with you: my Old School Runescape bossing chops could use some work. My current account is the blueprint for AFKscape, with combat levels in the high 90s courtesy of the Gemstone Crab, and skill capes that were earned through the hardest grafts of all: standing still and occasionally clicking Redwoods, and cooking sharks down in the Rogue’s Den. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some PvM. Slayer is probably my favorite skill the MMO has to offer, and I’ve spent more than my fair share of time at Barrows. However, the nervousness that comes with going into a big ol’ boss fight, knowing my pitiful bank is at stake, has long put me off really delving into the content I should be exploring. It’s only during Grid Master that I finally got Jad down to a fine art, before proceeding to khopesh the ever-living shit out of OSRS’ end-game goliaths. With the arrival of Old School Runescape’s new bovine boss, Brutus, I’m hopeful that what I would consider to be the game’s first true early game challenge will help prevent newer players from getting those same cold feet later on.
Old School Runescape’s new Brutus boss is the perfect gateway into bossing, and I’ll protect Beef with my life
