6) Guthix Boss

This is one of the things you probably want to know: what would Guthix's general be like and who would the Guthix boss be? My concept for Guthix boss is to use Meekadox the druid general as a boss, but the boss battle itself would be fundamentally different compared to the other GWD bosses.

The boss battle against Guthix General, Meekadox, would require you to defeat multiple bodyguards protecting Meekadox, and after defeating the bodyguards you could fight Meekadox for a while before he teleports away, only to bring a new set of bodyguards to protect him. This would happen, say, five times before the boss is defeated.
The reason for this is that in MMOs, 'bigger is better in boss battles', and having a boss fight where the challenge lies on beating the bodyguards of the somewhat weak main boss would be an interesting twist for normal boss battles.
There could literally be dozens of bodyguards that could appear, and only some would be used in one boss fight, which would also keep the boss fights interesting, as you can't predict what combination of bodyguards Meekadox uses.

Other notes regarding the boss battle:
* Seeing that most of the new bosses (Nex, QBD, KK, Vorago) have phases, fight against Meekadox could also have phases.
• Instead of just arriving at the boss room and fighting the boss, you could start the boss battle after talking to them, like how you do with Vorago.
• The boss and the bodyguards could even be non-aggressive, but by attacking any of the monsters in the boss area you will make all the rest automatically aggressive.

Support everything except for the boss. Fighting a druid just seems...stupid to me :P


Well that's where the "army" idea comes in. Essentially, the boss is not just some stupid druid. It's some stupid druid commander and his army. Plus if you've played other MMOs you'd find that there are far worse bosses: Like one fat man taking 16 players to take down.

Bump! I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.

Guthix General is already there, she's called Juna and is guarding a cave atm.

Guthix is, how unfortunately that is, dead. Very dead.

I don't think breaking the lore for another boss would be a good idea. No support.

First of all, Juna is not nor has never been a general. She is a Guardian of Guthix, and while she can protect the Tears of Guthix on her own, she is very weak outside her cave. Likewise, she has never commanded or lead an army.

Secondly, I acknowledge 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, and we have not seen the last of his legacy.

Thirdly, it is not lorebreaking. It has been confirmed that Armies of Gielinor campaigns did happen, which means that Guthixians were part of God Wars, although only momentarily right at the end of the God Wars, and fought the armies of other gods without their god alongside them, until he awoke and banished the rest of the gods.

Full support, would love to see this happen.

I got a question though..

If attacking one NPC in this dungeon makes everyone else aggressive then could the untradable void knight/elite void armour be protection to prevent them from attacking?

It'd make pest control somewhat alive again, you'd need the full set to have the protection though, sorry lol but just buying your protection for GWD from the G.E seems kinda boring, I want to earn my protection there by playing through other content if you get what I mean :D

That is an interesting proposition that never came into my mind. I really like that idea, and that could be the case! Instead of buying your protection, you'd have to earn it through various steps.
Then again, I kind of intended the Guthixian Area to be mechanically different from the other sections of God Wars Dungeon: if you witness your comrade to die at the hands of someone who claims to be at your side, surely you'd try to dispatch the traitor and alarm everyone else of this potential threat? I'll mention the idea in the thread through. And thanks for the support, by the way.
