Sylor_0 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I got something slightly different when going out to those ruins. "...save... is dying... have much... left... ...anyone...help...please... ...beast... life...me and... need help.. ...devouring...soul... ...out there... need... is devouring...pain...stops... ...save...is dying... have much....left... ...devouring... soul... ...save is dying, have much... left.. ...hurry..stuck... agony...death.. ...hurry..stuck... agony...death... ...help... beast.. killing...family ...save... is dying... have much... left ...anyone...help...please.. someone please...pain.. away..." Me and my brother (Sylor 0 and Sylor 1) are planning on going out to explore. Feel free to pm us or join my clan chat if you see us online. We'll probably be on world 99. (I won't be out right away, I have some Real Life business to attend to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guimauves Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Interesting, kinda like when you're almost driven insane in the underground pass lol By the way, on the subjects of skeletons, anyone else notice the skullcap of certain skeletons are a different color? e.g. white skeletons have grey, scorched skeletons are a darker shade of black. I dunno could be a graphical bug, but it striked me as odd *edit* Also I've noticed there seems to be an increased number of skeletons lying about in dungeons since the HD update, as 4 new ones poped up in the green/black baby dragon chamber in the chaos tunnels. Could've been they were always there and I'm blind :geek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACCOUNTKIL-ASDFAF12312FAF1 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 This is very weird... I tried to decypher the message in the second post and this is what I came up with: ...Help us Beast slowly Killing my Family ...Beast taking Life out of Me and I Need help Hurry Im Stuck in Agony, so close to Death Please, Can anyone Hear me Help me, Beast Slowly Killing All that is Out there. Need help, Is Devouring us, Stops=never Someone please take the Pain Away ...Saviour Is Dying, dont Have much Left ...Anyone Help us please beast Devouring our soul I added words in not jumbled them up so yeah...

SERG_Troy Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 My opinion- Jagex, lacking ideas for new quests. They put something new in the wilderness, something totally random, knowing that somebody will discover it, and bring it up on the RSOF. People voice their opinions on what they think it could be, then Jagex takes someones idea. 'Cause to be honest, I don't see how Jagex could let something like this "slip out." Lol, really though.. We'd be better off waiting 'til July's Behind The Scenes, or 'til the update itself (assuming there will be one regarding this find.) You guys will drive yourselves mad about this, and even if Jagex did let this slip out accidentally, surely they didn't slip out the whole update. So chances are, there's a big aspect of this missing. :? It is however an interesting topic, I'll be paying attention to both this topic, and the one on the RSOF. Ps - This could also be like the wise old man robbing Draynor.. Or was there an actual quest to that? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACCOUNTKIL-ASDFAF12312FAF1 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I also decyphered the first half of the similar but different message that someone else received: "Please save us, my family is dying, dont have much life left so can anyone help us please, The beast is taking our life especially me and my family, need help badly, beast devouring our souls. Something is out there and we need help, Beast is devouring us, the pain never stops. Please save us, my family is dying, the dont have much life left. Beast is devouring our soul. Hurry, save me, My family is dying and dont have much life left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisp Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I dug in every building, every examinable rock and on all bones, and also used the spade on all rocks. I still have some ideas Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkelX Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Assuming that the beast somehow eats souls, I did some research. There's a limited number of "beasts" in classical mythology that can feed on souls: Wraiths are just stereotypical undead that eat people's souls or emotions. Succubi and incubi can consume souls, but they're not appropriate for a game played by little kids. Energy Vampires are vampires that feed on energy or souls like normal vampires drink blood. Interestingly enough, the three headed skeleton could be Cerberus by the gate. In Dante's Inferno, he had three human heads (like the skeleton). Dante's Inferno also lists that Cerberus devoured intruders who tried to pass and caused torment for the gluttonous souls he guarded. Dragons are also symbolically linked to gluttony, explaining the other skeletons. Even though everything matches up, I don't think this idea is plausible. If Cerberus was the skeleton, though, playing music (how?) or throwing earth or a cake at the skeleton (how?) might do something. There is also Ezekiel 22:55, which links evil priests with devouring souls and destroying families, but I think its another wrong solution. So I would guess that the beast is an energy vampire or a wraith. It could just be something random, though, if Jagex is unorthodox. Seriously, though, has anyone tried using the "great magic" skull scepter there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylor1 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I really dont think Jagex let this slip, they probably released it before it was announced, to see if anyone could figure it out by themselves. in a previous post, someone said that it is confirmed that it is a mini quest, and that it is completable.

Napalm Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well from what I've read so far in the thread all wildy has been looked arround with Ghostly robes and Ghostspeak ammy and the ring... But has anyone tried looking outside the wildy? I don't mean all arround Runescape, just keypoints like graveyards or even arround Sumona?

SERG_Troy Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Um, while this thread is up.. Is there a quest about Postie pete and Noterazzo (the guy in the rogue's general store)? I was doing a clue, and once saw them talking to each other in the general store about something. I forget what it was about now, but I remember it wasn't something like a casual conversation. :? Then I walked in, and they stopped, and Postie teleported. Maybe I was just extremely tired at the time, and imagining things, I have no idea. But, I remember it..

Ravenkana Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 To the guy who brought up Cerebus- I can actually see that working. Considering that we already have hellhounds in Runescape, this Cerebus could have been an exceptionally powerful hellhound that was a pet to Zamorak. Since the wilderness is Zamorak's land, he might have sent his pet to destroy the village shortly onsideringafter the God Wars. I also think the Bible reference is plausible. Look at the ectofunctus; all those people became ghosts because they listened to an evil, lying priest. So what if the villagers had done the same, accepting the protection of a "priest" when he was, in fact, using a ploy to take their souls. Maybe this guy found out about it, but it was simply to late. And, one last theory, since the ghost mentions his family, couldn't his family be the Mahjarrat? They are a tribe which is comprised of people loosely related. Maybe the whole devourer thing could be Zaros's corrupting effects on the souls of some of the Mahjarrat? If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare? Worldwide thermonuclear war? Pie eating contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eonrogue Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 well i've done my research. The Wilderness was originally home to those who worshipped Zaros, and when Zaros faded from Runescape, Saradomin and Zamorak went to the wilderness and with the help of Bandos and Armadyl, wiped the alst remnants of Zaros from there. I've have also found the important Zarosian locations Ice Mountain Canifis (around the pub area) Edgeville Graveyard of Shadows Ice Plateau Demonic Ruins Ruins with the Anvil Digsite Those are all the ancient magic teleports also the temple of Uzer was an important Zarosian city The bandits still follow zaros as can be found out during dt as one of them gives you an ancient staff I'm thinking that all of those places need to be checked, as well as talking to the bandits I also think that we should locate bob because he is zaros. He provides three hints towards it. Also, the godwars temple should be checked out as zaros was wiped out during it also i think we should also check the temple of ikov because its where the staff of armadyll was found originally. Also check with lucien if he is still alive ready, break Tip.it's official Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippodo Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Man this is exciting! I love this kinda stuff, speculating etc. I personally think that the voice is a soul trapped here after a massacre long ago. The Devourer/Amascut/Sumona doesn't have anything to do with it tho... I really don't see that happen, she's a Desert God after all. The word 'devouring' can mean all sorts of things. Just some questions: are the various skeletons visible in F2P? And how about the voices themselves? Thanks in advance. Due to my epic stats, I have now started WGS (but I still hate spoilers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_invisable Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 This reminds me of the minigame "Wilderness Tag" which was never released do to something that i cant remember. Im not sure if its related. (probably not) Keep it up, i love reading about this. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how about the voices themselves? Thanks in advance. I think you're right. This is clearly a call for help, but it might be an echo of a moment during the godwars. But what is the beast? What ever it is it has the ability to draw life energy, and is obviously powerful. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylor1 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I took all the lists of words that the voices say, and took out all the repeats of phrases. I think this is all the voice says, it just repeats a lot, because I've been in those ruins for a while, and it hasn't said anything different.

I'll go check that out now. Edit: Nevermind can't play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
