There's plenty to look forward to as a RuneScape Member as we close out 2020 with a bang and head into an even bigger 2021. Following the release of Construction Contracts this November, December will see the introduction of a powerful new Solo Boss and heart-melting Christmas-themed quest to close out the year.

Recent news article confirms that the boss will be a Solo Boss , thank you Jagex for giving me boss content I can actually do! Excited for this and any info Jagex will reveal for this boss in the future

Just revealed in the livestream today:

The name of the beast is: Raksha the Shadow Colossal of Orthen.

Date on Arrival: December 7
... OP probably needs to change the title of this thread soon.

Bonus content: A miniquest filled with lore will come with the boss.

Origin: A prehistoric dinosaur inhabiting Gielinor before the Dragonkin arrived stepped into the Codex, an Elder Artifact discarded by the Elder Gods. The Monolith is mentioned in the cutscene, strongly suggesting The Mysterious Monolith is the Elder Codex.

Location: imprisoned under the ground. Seems like where Laniakea is outside the Base Camp and at the SE corner of Anachronia.

Mechanics: solobale, with difficulty between Araxxor and Telos but with 15 different phrases.

Key rewards: New Codexes... How surprising when the boss is related to the Elder Codex? So I guess more new abilities.

More Lore: Raksha didn't draw its powers from the Elder Gods despite he got them from the Codex, suggesting control of the Elder Codex has been taken over by something else... perhaps the Shadow... or maybe Xau-Tak?

Confirmed release date dec 7th
Solo/duo
Does not have 15 phases
Everybody gets their own drop
Between rax and telos ie failing mechanics will be punishing
Rewards is new codexes
Requirement is a short miniquest, needs access to fossil island
Rest is a surprise

Lots of abilities need a greater version, so I'm hoping for greater concentrated blast.

Correction:
-It does not have 15 different phrases ( this was an ' leak' that did not pan out)

-It is an solo/ Duo boss

Still soloable though. I am pretty sure as they said it drops one loot when solo, and two when duo.

There is no hardmode.
Solo/Duo kc is counted separately but will be combined for achievements/IFB.

The HP scales for the duo mode.
Mechanics: It's not a DPS dummy but rather a test of your endurance and your knowledge/skill of the game.

They didn't mention if there was enrage mechanics so hopefully more to find out next week

https://old.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/k5time/raksha_information_so_far/

Release date: 7th of December
Group size: Solo and Duo (HP Scales)
Combat level: N/A
Difficulty: Somewhere between Araxxor and Telos. It's no DPS dummy, it's an endurance test. Not hardest boss
Weakness: N/A
Unique drops: Multiple ability codicies and pet

Extra Information:
- Located on Anachronia
- Short miniquest requirement
- There is no hardmode. Solo and Duo kc is counted separately but will add up together meaning IFB will only have to kill it a 100 times in total
- If you solo the boss it will drop 1 drop, if you duo it will drop 2 drops, 1 for each player
- You can teleport out of the boss fight at any time
- It's an instance like Telos, you kill the boss once and you need to re-create the instance after every fight
- Drop rates are the same for solo as duo since every person gets their own drop
- Boss does not have 15 phases

Information from D&D stream:
- Miniquest looks like a puzzle
- Raksha is massive (SGB might be useful)
- Uses melee in Melee Distance
- Attack 1: Tail Swipe (Knock back)
- Attack 2: Purple bomb (Might be a bleed)
- Attack 3: Roar (when Raksha is on low HP orbs will be fired to players, this might be Insta kill)
- Varanus (NPC) might be a part of the fight
- There's some odd purple glue potion that might be interesting

Interesting. Still planning on getting masterwork spear of annihilation as my second T92 weapon, but SGB looks like the 3rd if it really is a 5x5+ boss.

I believe that these might be a factor as well:

-The Boss fight will take place in an alternate realm ( Unless the actions of Kerapac bought back Varanus who died to rashka).
- I feel there is a sleep mechanic that will put Rashka back to sleep after the fight ( Think seriyu or QBD). An scene in the DnD yesterday seems to suggest that the players woke up and looked to see Rashka was chained up ( not killed).
-If we focus on the sleep mechanic, Maybe the players will be the one that travels back in time to fight Rashka alongside Varanus. Seeing it was after Varanus encounter that Rashka was locked up.

*Rashka's Health seems to be quite high ( as no normal attacks worked on it). To me that suggest that at some point during the fight we may be using some elements of BGH ( specifically either the poison or the crossbows) Time to follow an trail of Treasure.
