Lmao I just noticed zamorak lost his wing. I think he is tier 6 or 7 now. Jagex wtf you are doing with his character. I rather have him get killed than be a zaro's bitch.

I'm glad they got rid of the wings. I mean he is a mahjarrat not a demon. Where did those wings even come from? During the memory after he killed Zaros his face changed, but he didn't have any wings. Besides he looks better without the wings.

Also I think the loss of his wings is supposed to indicate his shift towards the Mahjarrat. He is going to become the leader of the Mahjarrat race. The Zamorakian mahjarrats are more loyal than ever and even the Zarosian mahjarrats are beginning to respect him. Through

He spent a number of years on Infernus liberating the Avernic. I'm guessing he developed the wings because of how close (emotionally/mentally) he got to the demons.

I would agree that their loss indicates a shift back to his Mahjarrat origins.

He needed the Mahjarrat to work with him in order to tear Mah's power away from her (Seren explained this to you). He couldn't pull Mah's power away on his own, let alone simultaneously doing the same to the Mahjarrat.

He doesn't need to. The Mahjarrat had no idea what they were doing. They were just blindly following orders. He could just as easily set them up to be drained when the ritual finishes its job. With that finished, he'd have most of an Elder God's power inside of him instead roughly 10% of it. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

And that gains him, what? Power? We already know that power alone is not the key to ascending (Hostilius was purportedly as strong as a t5 god, and was still mortal, Guthix needed to learn how to draw from the anima to become t2), so that does him little good.

And in doing so, he'd estrange himself from the World Guardian (having outright lied to them) and either have lost a good chunk of his few remaining followers or would have equally estranged most of them (Azzanadra would have likely gotten over it, but I doubt Wahisietal or Akthanakos would take it well).

This isn't the same as touching the stone, this is absorbing an entire Elder God. Even if it's not enough to ascend to Elder Godhood (and I doubt this), it's still enough to make you so overpowered compared to every other being on the planet that even if every single God faction teamed up, they wouldn't stand a chance.

That said, I don't think draining the Mahjarrat was that important to him, since compared to Mah their power, at the time, was insignificant. He was willing to leave them in Gielinor and go off and do this on his own. He just made a half hearted offer and left it at that. The Mahjarrat are simply a bonus.

He has a LOT to lose by doing this:

1) He has the chance to absorb an Elder God. That's millions of times more powerful than he is. But instead of getting the whole pie, it's not split between him and 10 other people, most of which were currently his enemies (and might still be now). This alone costs him over 90% of that power and it strengthens his foes.

2) This loosens his grip over his allies. They're stronger too and more immune to his aura. We can already see two of his three Mahjarrat followers starting to question and distance themselves from him the moment they got stronger.

Zaros doesn't give a damn about the Mahjarrat aside from their servitude. That's clear. But even if we took this out of the equation, Zaros isn't a charity case. He doesn't go around helping people because the milk of human goodness runs through his veins, he helps when he has something to gain. And it's clear he has nothing to gain by giving up all of this power to the Mahjarrat and Zamorak. Hell, he didn't even invite Seren to this ritual. I think she's the only one he wouldn't drain due to her own aura. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil.

There was no gain from helping them...until Zamorak came, in desperation, and was willing to do anything for his people. Now Zaros could have just proven his trustworthiness and made the deal without payment, proving that he was completely sincere in wanting to help the Mahjarrat, but he didn't. He was only willing to ensure he fulfilled his promise if Zamorak was willing to do anything in return. Zamorak had to be begged to do this, not because anyone was worried Zaros wouldn't do the ritual--he had to--but because they knew he could very well drain all of them.

Whatever Zaros is going to make Zamorak do, it's going to be a huge step in becoming an Elder God. Because if he achieves that, then nothing else matters It doesn't matter if the Mahjarrat trust him. It doesn't matter if he loses all this power. It doesn't matter if his enemies are stronger and his allies desert him. Hell, it wouldn't matter if Zamorak had the Mahjarrat start breeding, got them all to Tier 2 Godhood status, became Tier 2 himself, and horded all the Elder Artifacts. All of that wouldn't be able to stop an Elder God.

Also, I would normally make a joke about the World Guardian getting furious at Zaros for killing Zemourgal and how silly that would be...but then again, the WG did this over V...so I'll give you that. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil.

P.S. mahjarrat update looks terrible, Zamorak look crap in mahjarrat mode, quest had storyline i have to give jagex credit for that but not many combat involves. seriously tho, i feel like wasn't alot of effort was put into this quest sorry to say it. looks like they made it in a week and rushed it. i am kinda disappointed in that quest. idk may be its just me, may be i was too hyped for that quest. rewards aren't that great. cut scenes were too fast, you can't even re-watch them. lots of question still unanswered. feel like too much Stuff will be put on sliske's endgame quest. idt its going cover everything. i give this quest 1.5 /5.

Least Zamorak doesn't have to worry about Saradomin anymore. At the end game, Armadyl will be the only one with 8 targets on his back :^) "Your god's dead next time he's in a world event. "
