Old School RuneScape's most creative boss ever was supposed to release in 2017. Over six years later, Jagex still has not added it to OSRS. This boss is the reason that rare fossils are useless, and may remain that way forever. Find out why the team refuses to finish it.

I actually had no idea that Jagex had a plan for Fossil Island all the way back in 2006. I knew about the barge, and I knew it was going to go somewhere eventually, but as time went on, I thought that Jagex just didn't have a plan for it yet. Hopefully this video will remind people about the boss, and finally get Jagex to make it.

In RS3 after doing the Rag and Bone Man quests you get access to a weekly boss battle against a skeletal monster that loses limbs as you deal damage, lowering its power with each lost limb. Once it loses a limb you need to grab it from the ground and bury it to prevent reattachment. If you beat it you get a decent chunk of slayer and prayer xp, and it can drop clue scrolls and, if you're really lucky, the skeletal champion challenge scroll.

@BAMFshee 9 ай бұрын

Yeah, as an RS3 player, this video doubles as a history lesson as to how we got Fur n' Seek/the Skeletal Horror and, almost a full decade later, Anachronia. Really hope that OSRS gets their own version of them someday. I know they got Fossil Island instead, but it's just not the same.

I love the synergy between OSRS and RS3 here. OSRS has it as Fossil Island, as it's the Island found in the current time, and it's about how the island thrives after all this time. In RS3 it's a twist in that the island is Anachronia - or Orthen as the Dragonkin called it - and is pulled from the past and sits there following the destruction of the city. Instead of fossils it has living dinosaurs, and features lots of training methods including an agility course that covers the entire island, and Big Game Hunter which is a Hunter minigame that is honestly a lot of fun.

something ive been wondering for a while as a huge fan of dovydas (a friend) how come nobody in the creator community talks about him these days? he was at one time the most subscribed runescape channel on youtube. these days it feels like osrs content creators pretend he doesnt exist, so it was genuinely shocking to see him (almost) mentioned in this video. i genuinely cant remember the last time i heard someone mention him. and even more strange, dovy never mentions anyone else either. is it him being antisocial, or does this community shun him for the somewhat questionable choices he has made in the past? it kinda makes me sad to think about, because if it wasnt for him, i would have quite literally never played old school runescape, and therefor would not even be a fan of runescape content to this day. maybe im overthinking it. whats your take nello?

I don't know the full extent about what was promised for the fossil island boss but from what you said it straight up sounds ambitious from the get go as too good to be true, almost all games that promise a update thats super complex and unique and cool sounding almost always either cancel it or provide something thats a embarassing attempt at it. It really is unfortunate that they did a silent discontinue and it kept the hype for way too long. I agree with them on "the players would be massively disappointed if we do anything thats not what the original idea was" maybe they could find something to do with the rare fossil but it probably would be best its not something thats supposed to be a replacement like a boss if they are gonna not add the original idea. The safest thing would probably be increase the prayer gain on it by a lot. Just my take atleast.
