I support, more as a memorial of Guthix.

How would the dungeon be called? You have Armadyl's Eyrie, Bandos's Stronghold, Saradomin's Encampment, Zamorak's Fortress and the Ancient prison. One fanon fansite of runescape suggested a name like: "Cave of Life" other names could be Cave of Balance or anything else. The same fanon fansite suggested the boss to be Janai Protex (Google it). A cobra (though there already is a guthixian snake). Your boss, how would it look? Would it be a humanoid unit (human shaped with arms and leggs) or a beast (big, monsterous)? Where is it? Maybe beneath the waterfall? You have to make an Canoe to get there?

Also god war bosses are featured in quests (tww, mpd), maybe an idea to add it in a quest and make the boss godless?

Oh also there are known 7 Guardians of Guthix, isn't?

Fiara • Juna • Valluta • Death • Cres • Ocellus • The player

Originally there were eight, I believe. That doesn't count the player, as you were the very last one. One for each pillar in a Guthixian druid circle.

And I remember that fanfic! I didn't really like the idea of a COBRA boss though. Kinda corny.

I like Cave of Life, though. And Aquamage and were discussing in game a boss fight... I think we came to a fun one.
I would like to think that perhaps whoever the boss would be would be more of a self-proclaimed Guardian of Guthix. The guardians were chosen at the end of the Third Age, and the dungeon was frozen in the Third. Who knows? There are limitless possibilities. I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.

Oh yes, I didn't read the word "Originally", at the unoficial rune wikia. I didn't like the cobra boss too, because there is already a guthixian snake, Juna. It will cause confusion. A self-proclaimed Guardian of Guthix. Good idea! Perhaps someone who is a bit selvish and sees himself as a true guthixian, but he is not. Also, I changed the date of the god war.

PS: Sorry if I made typo's or grammar errors, but I'm tired, lots of tests this week.

Maybe Meekadox is the heir of the leader from a important guthixian group dating back from the first age, after an attack of bandosian forces on his camp, Meekadox who wasn't at the camp during the slaughter, told his students to start an army. When Guthix awoke he expected himself to become a guardian of guthix, but he was not becouse he has a strong chaotic side. Because he wasn't chosen he was filled with anger and that partly corrupted him. When he heard what happened at the god war dungeon, he decided to send his personal army for military support to Aeternam, hoping that Guthix would finally see him as a Guardian of Guthix.

He has strong magical powers and he is clearly corrupted at some parts of his body.

Now he is unfrozen in the 6th age, he eventually heard that Guthix died, making him totaly insane. His attacks are also very unlogical and strange but strong.

I would like too see Meekadox as the boss.

Just thought of one of Meekadox powers. Do you know the emote Nature's might? What if he use it, but to attack? His hands become tree's wich he uses to attack with melee and he becomes immobile during that time. Perhaps he can also uses a razor leaf attack to shoot leafs at the player (range). Another power can be some kind of leaf storm, that summons a magical tornado full of leafs. (the last two are bassed on pokemon) Maybe if he is at 1/4 he becomes enterly treelike, just like an ent, boosting all his stats but he will be weaker to fire spells.

Alright, time for a wave of OP replies. Before I start, thanks for all who support this thread, I am really glad you like my idea. Anyway, time to start replying.

Great idea. Have u thought how the protection would work, would u need it in the guthix camp?
I think level 75 wand/book, crossbows and one handed melee weapons could at least be included seeing as we don't really have any one handed weapons for lvl 75.
One idea for that "guthix godsword" could have the same 25% chance for passive effect, but instead of having one effect, each time it activates, it would do all 4 effects from the original godswords at once, with each of the individual effects being less powerful (stunning for shorter time, restoring less prayer points, etc. with the benefit of doing them at once). I think it would kinda fit that "balance" theme.

Since I think Guthixian NPCs would be neutral as long as you don't fight them, protection would probably not be needed, but this could be changed, though. After all, it would give Guthixian god gear some use, and it would make sense for Guthixians to attack anything infiltrating their camp, as anyone who is coming to their camp would probaby try to kill them.
Although "Guthix Godsword" special effect could work like that, I don't think that's original enough. Besides, Guthix's ideology isn't balance between order and chaos, but rather he wants things to go in a natural way without the interferance of gods or other similar powerful beings.

there isnt going to be a guthixican GWD, hes dead, jagex has moved on, end of guthix as a character
support this idea it 6 years to late made.

Sure, Guthix is dead and gone for good, but that doesn't mean we should pretend he never existed and his legacy should be thrown out of window. Guthix is dead, but his influence in the past live on.

I like the idea, personally I think it's extremely well thought out though most of the contingencies that you plan against argument wise you leave completely open with many different answers. I'd say go with the first explanation of how Guthixian forces would have entered the god wars and that would do just fine. I'd say the skill should be the quintessential Druid skill: Summoning. and the killcount should be gotten killing 40 of each other alignment. The rewards would be tremendous however and the boss about as challenging if not more challenging than Nex.

Most of the things I have left open are so because it allows you to fill that option what you think is the most suitable option and allows the freedom of exploring new possibilities. Also, I think I already went with the first explanation, but I fletched out the backstory of Guthixian army, tying it up with Armies of Gielinor.
While summoning is a possible skill requirement, how could one actually use it to pass any sort of obstacle that would block Guthix's Camp?
Personally, I think Guthix boss could be 'lvl 75' boss: Nex is intended for people with lvl 80 in combat stats and other GWD bosses with stats around 70.
Of course Guthix boss can harder than Nex while still being intended to be fought by lvl 75 people, but if Guthix boss is too hard, the drops would have to be designed for those people who are capable of fighting it.
Most of the drops I added are designed to fill in equipment between 70-80, and if the boss is designed to be harder than Nex, the rewards become pointless, as they wouldn't be used by the people who can obtain them.

It's funny: years ago I made a thread like this. It got deleted in the forum merge, but I ended up with atleast 50 supporters.
So support, and if I may suggest the boss, as it was in my thread? :D

An ENT. Yes, they were in AoG. In fact, they were the strongest Guthixian unit. I also added a special attack for him, where he creates a wall of evil tree roots that do constant damage until they're cut down. I can not remember the name I gave him...
The guardians were a Void Knight commander (melee) a Mage gnome (with the examine info: Size matters not. Heh heh) and a prototype dwarf cannon for ranged.

You put a lot of good work into this, and I am honored someone continued my long forgotten thread. :)

PS: I wrote my Guthixian GWD thread before the ancient prison and Nex. That kinda stole my thunder. :(

It is funny: some subjects just never seem to die as suggestions until they are implemented. I'm glad you like my thread, though, I hope my thread can get as far as your thread did.

Let's compare the boss I had in my mind to your ent: a self-proclaimed Guardian of Guthix who managed to create an army by himself and with his four equally powerful students and was indirectly responsible of freezing the God Wars Dungeon and hundreds of warriors within it with the help of a mage powerful enough to do the actual freezing part.
While they sound awesome, they aren't that powerful compared to an ent. Although an ent could appear as one of the bodyguards of the main boss, I do not think an ent would be as interesting as a boss.

im more surprised as to why people havnt mentioned the other gods like Seren, Marimbo or even Tuska

Marimbo influence in the God Wars was probably limited to partying through the war in Ape Atoll: Tuska probably didn't know of Gielinor and his followers more like parasites that rely on her to survive: and while Seren is featured in Armies of Gielinor it contradicts her peaceful and isolationistic alignment (rogue elves would probably be the answer). So really, it comes down to this: Guthix is more interesting god than the other gods not featured in God Wars Dungeon and has an excuse why he could be involved with God Wars Dungeons.

I agree that it would have been cool to see Guthix added into the GWD but now he is dead and is out of the game as a being. Supposedly Guthix froze the God's Generals in the dungeon to stop them from fighting on the surface so I doubt he would have ever sent in anyone to fight in the GodWars for him

While Guthix is dead, his legecy and story still lives on, so that isn't really a good argument why Guthix GWD shouldn't exist.
Besides, that is just one interpretation of what happened. The true history of the God Wars is always somewhat difficult to determine, since information is difficult to come by and there are multiple versions of what happened at the God Wars Dungeon.
One version tells that a spell from one side backfired majorly, second states that the dungeon froze naturally, third tells that Guthix sealed it, fourth that Aeternam and Guthixians did it, fifth tells that mages from all sides tried to freeze other sides into statues of ice.
Since there is no confirmed backstory for the events in God Wars Dungeon, I decided to go with the Aeternam/Guthixian one, as it allows to tell more stories.
