Very well thought out. I am impressed.

Thanks! I'm glad you appreciate this thread.

I like this idea.

As they have not been let out or know that the entrance is open, they still think Guthix is alive, so that be interesting.

It was stated that guthixians did fight in the war. Maybe not all of them, but quite a few.

I dont understand this about him being gone as a character. Yes, he is dead, but that doesnt mean his lore doesnt live on.

If he was asleep during the time they [Meekadox] would have sent them[the Guthixian army] in, so he would have had no role in stopping them.

It would be interesting to see the reaction they would have after hearing that their god, once one of the most powerful beings in existance, is now dead. Would their motivation drop and would they give up entirely, or would the death of their god only motivate them to fight harder?
I think Guthix had awoken when Meekadox fought in the God Wars Dungeon, but he didn't stop Meekadox from fighting, as the sword could still be used to kill him and the war would have to be ended.

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?[/qfc]

I though the dungeon could be called Guthix's Grove/Isle, Guthix's Garrison/Siege or something like that. I had a small list of possible names but I deleted it, although all of them were nature-related or were copied from other fanon fansites such as RS Fanfiction Wiki, to which you are probably referring to.

I know of Janai Protex, she was one of the bosses I based my early concepts of Guthix Boss on, along with Balancer Recnalab, Ketunix the Great and Khee'Zakk. I intentionally left the boss up in the air, but like Any-Sao already mentioned, we came to a conclusion that the best option would be to have a boss that summons strong bodyguards that you have to take down before you can damage the boss.

While Guthix God Wars Dungeon area would be a suitable reward for completion of a quest, to be honest, I'd be annoyed if there was a quest required to access Guthix Camp. All the other god camps don't require a quest, even the Ancient Prison which out of all five camps would've made sense as a quest reward, so I think Guthix's Camp should have no quest requirement.

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.

There were eight Guardians before The World Wakes: Fiara, Juna, Valluta, Death, Cres, Ocellus and two others who are currently unknown. After the World Wakes, the player replaces Cres, keeping the number at 8 (or 7 if Fiara dies for you). So yes, we know of 7 guardians, but there has been 9 in total.

I never though of a self-proclaimed Guardian of Guthix as a possible boss, and I initially intended that a real Guardian of Guthix was the boss, and being stuck in the frozen Guthix Camp would explain their absence from The World Wakes. However, as I start to think of it more and more, I start to like the idea of Meekadox being self-proclaimed Guardian of Guthix.

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.

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 like the backstory you wrote to Meekadox a lot! The only thing I really do not agree is that he has went totally insane, as why would Guthixians want to follow an insane druid general? Other than that, I like it. Do you mind if I use in in my thread?

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.

Any-Sao and I kind of came to conclusion that while Meekadox can be quite powerful, he shouldn't be similar to other GWD bosses who are the main powerhouses and bodyguards are merely an annoyance: quite the opposite, really: while he is a powerful enemy, his bodyguards should be just slightly less powerful. However, I like the combat moves you suggest, however I prefer leaving most of Meekadox's tactics undecided for now, but I may look for Meekadox's boss tactics in the future.

Hey Aquamage, I thought this would be the best way to contact you.
Update:

The orange torch has been extinguished by blue starlight. Thank you again! I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.

Chaos elemental thingy?

Orange torch=Godless
Blue starlight=Saradomin

Wait... Saradomin did kill the godless? ;)

Do you want to fight for your god?
Do you want to built for your god?

Heh heh, you're half right. This is a Chaos elemental-like hint... But you'll need to ask Aquamage if you want to know the rest. ;) I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.
