Top 10 Hardest Runescape Quests
Some Runescape quests are a breeze, while others test your skills, patience, and sanity like nothing else in the game. This list is all about the quests that leave players saying, Never again! Whether it's mind-bending puzzles, grueling combat, or just endless frustration, these challenges have stood out to players over the years as the toughest of the tough.I think this quest is very irritating. I could barely finish it. Well, I didn't even finish it. Guess what? I'm very lazy.
Takes forever and requires almost total mental focus. I'm glad it's a quest though, as it gives higher-level players something to do other than make billions of GP.
I haven't done it yet, but getting 270 quest points is a pain in the ass.
"S***!" are the only words coming out of my mouth during this quest. It was a huge pain! Once I got the sheep to the fence, they said "baa" and ran away. It was terrible, not even worth the 4 quest points you get for completing the quest.
Gotta love how this is up there with the likes of While Guthix Sleeps and Desert Treasure, aha. That atrociously horrendous quest design. Enough said.
Definitely the hardest quest in the entire game. Just the way you have to herd those sheep! It is terrible how they put you through that misery!
Holy cow... The puzzles. Not only did you have to constantly defend from shades, but you also had a hellish agility course where, if you fell, you pretty much had to start all over. I'm so glad I finally finished.
The puzzle never seemed to end, as well as it being such a boring puzzle. Then, when you fail the agility bit 5 times in a row, it tops the quest off as the worst and most boring quest I've done. (Part 2)
M.E. Pt. 1 and 2, especially, are extremely irritating. For part 1, it's mostly dyeing the sheep, but all of part 2 is one massive puzzle, and on top of that, you have monsters who hit frequent 100s on you everywhere. It's most certainly a very difficult quest.
At the moment, I'm quite stuck on it. Spirit of Summer gave little to no preparation for it. I have 191 quest points, and although I've done many quests, the parts with the spirit beast make it very challenging, and a real members quest if I've ever seen one.
The stupid boss monster in this quest was ridiculously hard. Way harder for me than While Guthix Sleeps was. I'd rather do WGS 10 times over than do this quest again.
Okay, so I did every single quest up here in the top 10, but this was the only one I died in. And I didn't die once. I died 11 times!
It took me a little over three hours without dying once. You constantly have to go back to Varrock, back to the Gnome Stronghold, back to Karamja, back to Ape Atoll, back to the hangar, then repeat over and over.
Live by the Grand Tree, die by the Grand Tree. Literally die. Hardest quest in RS.
The boss is easy, but running through the town can be annoying.
The battle in the icy zone was actually challenging, which is pretty rare. The locked chest took me about 50 lockpicks and was exceptionally infuriating. The pyramid actually wasn't as bad as the chest, but these two mainly luck-based things make this a memorable and annoying quest.
Some parts of the quest were nearly suicidal. The bosses were hard and irritating, and the pyramid bit at the end was based on luck to get through, which was the most annoying of all.
A very hard quest for some of the best combat magic in the game. Not the hardest, but some parts (like the locked chest) can take your money and time away.
Stupid! The first part is hard enough, and I had to restart the entire thing because I fell down so many times. I rage quit for an hour after that, and then after the doll part, it was all over for me.
Ugh, this quest is infuriating. It just takes so long, and it all takes place in the same dungeon.
This is the most annoying quest I've completed so far. I fell over 45 times, no joke. I can't imagine Regicide...
This quest is undoubtedly the hardest, and the boss is ridiculous, on the edge of broken. When I did it, the only reliable damage I could deal was from the kyatt special attack and ruby bolts. If you step away from the pillars, you get eaten up by Nomad's attacks.
Nomad was easily the toughest boss I ever fought. Then again, I fought him at 90 combat without summoning and with 75 range. The time I finally beat him, I still had like 4 or 5 Saradomin Brews left.
This is the only one I haven't completed, so it must be the most difficult. You must have a BoB and super restores to defeat Nomad.
So damn long and irritating, but it definitely felt like a great accomplishment after they released better gloves available at the GE. Granted, they are over 20 times the amount.
The Newcomers
Did these two today, and the boss fights are just ridiculous. I spent 1.2m reclaiming my items after death while attempting to complete Nomad's. Broken for sure.
How the heck do you manage to survive the final fight against Rabid Jack? At least it showed me that I should never do drugs. I still feel the headaches - ugh.
The jungle intro is absolutely terrible. Hands down the least fun I've ever had in my ten years playing Runescape. Hiding behind cover only works about half of the time, and if you misclick at all, you automatically fail. Move your pinky toe out from behind cover for 0.00001 seconds and you'll take roughly 9 million damage and have to start over.
No chance to dodge, no taking the damage and moving forward, and half the time your character decides to practice their dance routine and run back and forth in a completely nonsensical direction.
Oh yeah, the entire time this is happening, you will be attacked by the ugliest, most obnoxious-sounding mouth-breathing gorillas to ever walk the face of Gielinor. I think I would rather chew broken glass than have to do this again. Completely ruined my enjoyment of the remainder of the quest.
1/10 for fun value, 9/10 for difficulty.
I hate falling off the bridge and having to go all the way back. Plus, I died from stupid traps and lost my fire cape.
The agility is not fun to get.
Absolutely hate this one. Even with a guide, this takes forever and gets really repetitive. I almost gave up, but I pulled through after 2 hours in that hellhole while looking at a guide.
I was so glad to finally finish, then I saw that there were additional challenges requiring you to do it in 37 minutes. Sigh. I really don't want to go back...
The first time I did this, I got lost and gave up. Later, I memorized the whole thing, finished it, and got the additional rewards. Still, it's annoying as hell to do with the stupid challenges of figuring out which room to go to next.
This quest just SUCKS. All you do is talk to a few people, then spend over an hour in a maze, and then get tossed into a hard fight. Honestly, it's not that hard, but you'll die a few times getting used to the fight.
If you don't know how to get him into the next phase of the fight, it's an instant death.
Dude, the labyrinth is ridiculous. I saw the guide and thought, "Gee, it's so short. This'll be cake." Nope, very difficult to get through even with a map right next to me. This is the only quest I haven't completed yet due to the dang labyrinth.
I throw up every time I think of it. All the favours you have to do for some wood. Kill me.
Doing this quest is what I imagine dying feels like!
Even maxed, Char still gives me issues in the Dominion Tower. I had to listen to Kanye's "Stronger" to finally beat Char.
Not as bad as Recipe for Disaster, however, flipping hard. I died to Agrith Naar twice and Zemouregal three times before I was able to barely beat them. Come prepared, set your action bar, and collect a chunk of the Zemouregal coins before starting the miniquests.
The number of times you have to travel back and forth to that stupid hideout... And the fact that I could never get the guards to notice me and take me back to the jail!
It took me hours because of those two facts alone.
Vanstrom was terrible. The moment I defeated him, he somehow insta-killed me.
I panicked and thought I had to do that fight all over again.
The maze lever puzzle pissed me off. I could barely see the shadows and failed one part of it over 15 times.
I finally got it done, then died to the boss 5+ times before I finally raged and beat him on a final attempt.
