What is new in RuneScape Update? – July 12, 2022
Zamorak, Lord of Chaos
Mobs inside the Zamorakian Undercity have had their health pools adjusted. Several will now start with a lower base HP but scale slightly harder. This will mean fewer hitpoints need to be dealt with at all Enrages, with Normal mode being the most affected.
- Slightly changed the number of mobs on some dungeon gates, in particular reducing the number of demons that need to be killed at lower Enrages.
- Addressed a safe spot within the fight with Eterna, Ritual Leader that kept players safe from her spiked floor traps.
- Following feedback, several changes have been made to the Chaos Roar melee ability:
- Ability now requires a target to cast and needs to hit in order to apply the buff meaning it’s no longer an effective switch for non-melee players.
- Deals a small chunk of damage 20-130%.
- Updated the tooltip to reflect these changes.
- Now works for ALL hits in AOE / Twin hit abilities
- As an example, the Hurricane ability will now double against all targets.
- For channelling abilities, only the first hit will be doubled.
- Reduced the size of the portal clickbox within the Zamorakian Undercity cathedral.
- Prevented an issue that allowed players who died to be pulled into phase seven while they were in the Zamorakian Undercity as their team mates transitioned into Infernus
- Updated the Zamorak, Lord of Chaos total kills quickchat to reflect the amount achieved in group encounters.
- Added a quickchat for Zamorak, Lord of Chaos total kills in solo, which will also output the player’s highest Enrage.

- Fixed an issue causing the Zamorak Boss to spawn his minions in the wrong locations.

- Hotfixed: Resolved an issue that was stopping players from passing beyond 20% Enrage.
