Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok

It seems that Surok has made a cunning escape from his Varrock Library prison and is intent on continuing his nefarious schemes. He even found time to steal some ancient tomes from the library, unearthing dark secrets and powerful magicks.

It is clear that Surok has plans to control the city of Varrock and it is up to you to stop him! Scuppering Surok may not be as easy as it sounds, however, as he has friends in very, very high places.

Surok was last seen heading east out of Varrock, towards the Chaos Tunnels that were introduced in January.

Have a care when entering the Tunnels, as they are dark and full of creatures - including dragons - that will attack without mercy! Be sure to only take what you are prepared to lose, for there are worse things than simple orks in the dark places of this world.

Summary

Where to start Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok

Start by speaking to Surok by the statue of Saradomin, east of Varrock

Requirements to complete Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok:

What Lies Below
Level 44 Slayer
A hefty Combat level would be helpful.

Access to:

A new boss fight in the Chaos Tunnels which can be repeated daily
A hefty chunk of Slayer XP and guaranteed Summoning charms for those who defeat him!

In other news...

As a result of recent feedback, players can now take priest robes and gowns into Bounty Hunter. These items offer small Prayer bonuses that players might wish to make use of.

We've fixed an issue with the Assist System, so that runecrafters will be able to get 'double' runes if the assister has the necessary Runecrafting level.

The Friends and Ignore interfaces have been looked at and adjusted to make them more readable. These were slightly darker than intended.

We've been looking at a few smaller changes that will enhance your gameplay and you can expect more of these in the future:

When reopening the Smithing interface, it will remember where you last scrolled to, similar to the bank interface.
Romeo in Varrock will no longer interrupt you if you're passing through. You can still stop by, have a chat and see if you can cheer him up!

I'm giving this a 3/5 mainly because it seems Jagex has only made this update to try to get people to train their new skill. It doesn't really seem worthwhile and shortcuts for slayer aren't really a favourite in my books. ;D

Surok? That's similar to Surak, the founder of fundamental Vulcan philosophy.

That's the first thing Shane said to me as well :roll:

Also, when he summons the minions, they say 'Resistance is futile.' Made me think of Shane >.>

Does anyone know if this mini-game is like tears in that "once a day" (or once a week for tears) is measured to the minute. I'd hate to go up there, just to find that I was a half hour too early.

I don't really see the point of this other than ways to make two skills easier

It looks like this will be a waste of time but we'll see.
