Ritual update log | 16 October 2026

This covers the releases since our 13 October update: more encounters to test, expanded Slayer support, dungeon access repairs, and fixes to combat, equipment, banking and everyday interactions.

Ritual remains in alpha. New encounters are available for testing, with remaining limitations noted below.

Bosses and encounters

• God Wars Dungeon: added public and private encounters for all four generals, with bodyguards, entry requirements, contribution-based rewards, kill counts and Slayer credit. Improved exits, resets and respawning.

• Vorkath: added a private encounter with quest eligibility, waking and resetting, acid and undead-spawn phases, rewards and blue-dragon Slayer credit.
• Corporeal Beast: added normal and Ironman rooms, shared reward contribution, Dark Core behaviour, damage rules and empty-room recovery.
• Obor: added the encounter and reward-chest flow. The hill giant key is consumed when claiming the reward, with protection against duplicate claims.

• Giant Mole: added public and private entry, encounter ownership, loot and cleanup when leaving.

Nightmare and Phosani's Nightmare

• Added playable encounter foundations and entry routes.

Still being worked on

New boss encounters need further in-game testing and tuning. Nightmare Zone and Hallowed Sepulchre remain practice implementations, and some dungeon routes still lead to incomplete encounters or reward systems.

Full Kalphite Queen and Thermonuclear smoke devil activation, additional superior Slayer creatures and the Unsired exchange are not included in this release.

When reporting a problem, please include the location, item or NPC, what you clicked and what happened. For boss issues, include the phase or attack you saw. A short clip is especially useful for movement, animation and timing problems.

Thanks to everyone testing and returning to check fixes. Your reports have driven much of this update.
