Epilogue

SPOILERS – IF YOU HAVEN”T BEATEN THE NOMAD'S REQUIEM QUEST AND DO NOT WISH TO KNOW WHAT IT REVEALS, STOP READING HERE.

IF YOU HAVE, SCROLL DOWN.


















Still here? Ok then. I hate when people don’t do that for TV shows and movie reviews. Ok, Nomad’s dead.

You go and talk to the imp guy, and he asks why you killed him. That jerk! What I thought was the best part of the quest, might be a minor detail to everyone else. When the imp asks if you’re sure he’s dead, there’s a cutscene of you taking him to the body. What do you do to prove he’s dead? You kick him in the head! I started cracking up at that!

Great detail! Maybe a little side thing Jagex put in, knowing the quest was insanely difficult, as a little retribution.

Now, if you read Jax’s blog regularly (which you should), she predicted there would be a part 2 to the Nomad, revealing the soul altar. We talked about this while fishing, and it makes perfect sense. The Blood and Death Altars all have multiple parts to pretty big quests. MEP2 and the 4 part Meyerditch series. Also, she brought up the good point that mathematically, it’ll probably require 90 RC. Again, keeping with the pattern for what you can craft using that skill at what level, it makes sense.

Here’s where the fun kicks in. After showing the imp the dead nomad, he starts talking about how you’re under the soul obelisk at soul wars, which is where you put in your soul fragments. So its there collecting all the souls from the games and storing them. Who would want to store souls? According to the imp ‘those magicky type people may want them.’ Boom! Soul Altar, its gotta be there!

After all that talk, well look at this, Nomad gets up, and teleports away! Jerk! I sense the second part of this quiz takes you further into the tent down to where the soul altar will be. As it stands now, just being in the room below the Nomad seems too easy, and way to close to the Soul Wars bank for Runecrafting. The Death and Blood Altars are insanely far away from banks, I don’t see why the Soul Altar would be any different.

One thing that scares me is that when you see something, fight it, and then need to fight it again in another quest, its usually harder than before. This might not be the case with how difficult this actually was, but it’d be weird if the followup was a cake walk. Maybe, since this one was very difficult cb wise, the next one will have ridiculous skill requirements.

Crap. Are they going to make us have 90 RC in order to complete a quest? Ok, no, they won’t. I had to stop and think about that one. The Blood Altar quest was completed when I definitely didn’t have 77 RC. Neither that or MEP2 made you craft the runes they had at their altars.

Should be an interesting couple of weeks 
