Elder God Wars Dungeon: The Glacor Front Survival Guide - News - RuneScape - RuneScape (2024)

Wen's attack of the Senntisten cathedral brings forth the Glacor Siege – a powerful elemental army of glacors and glacytes, storming the ancient city streets and freezing everything in their path. You’ll need to send armies of elves south across a bridge to hold off these frozen foes, and assist a group of six mages as they take on the formidable Arch-Glacor!

This bitterly cold battle is especially exciting because it features new adjustable mechanics for the boss fight, allowing you to scale up your experience to learn, challenge and grow. This is your guide to taking on the Front and the rewards you’ll reap if you’re successful.


Getting Started

The Glacor Front is available on all platforms, including mobile, from Tuesday August 31st. It’s a members-only experience, and you’ll need 84 Slayer or more to fight the glacytes south of the Cathedral in the City of Senntisten.

Remember that for each Front we release, you can benefit from free death reclaims and free Ring of Death charges when engaging in combat activities. With the Glacor Front, deaths are free forever for the normal mode (including for Hardcore Ironmen).


How To Play

If you didn't have a chance to join us last Friday, you can watch the reveal stream over on Twitch, where we discussed the boss and mechanics in detail.

You can also read this article for a detailed description of the boss and its various malicious manoeuvres, from its pillars of ice to its terrifying exposed core attack!


Rewards (as promised)

The Glacor Front offers some of the most powerful rewards ever seen in RuneScape, so if you’re looking for wicked weapons, we suggest you jump on the polar express pronto. Here’s what you can expect to score while you protect Senntisten from Wen’s icy assault.

Scripture of Wen

The Elder God Wars Dungeon will introduce brand-new God Books based on each of the Elder Gods. These God Books offer improved stats over Illuminated God Books, and each come with a unique effect. In the Glacor Front, the book is the Scripture of Wen, which offers:

      • +5 Prayer bonus
      • +8 to all styles
      • Special Ability - Sheer Cold - Each attack have a chance to summon an icy beam for 3.6 seconds that attacks anythings standing in it. Once targets have been hit 5 times by the beam, they will shatter for 400% ability damage.

The Book itself can only be acquired as a drop from Arch-Glacor, but Pages can be dropped by any enemies on the Glacor Front.
*Note: Elder God Books cannot be illuminated.

Sounds cool? It will be. The Glacor Front arrives on August 31st, so stay tuned for our future updates by following us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
