The update will allow groups of up to 80 players to band together to defeat Nex and receive some highly valuable rewards.According to the OSRS wiki, some key changes have been made to Nex since the original release back in 2011. The following changes have been made to better adapt her for the community of OSRS:- Originally, players obtained four pieces of a frozen key (dropped by NPCs of each faction inside their strongholds). In Old School RuneScape, players must complete a miniquest, The Frozen Door, to open the frozen door, requiring completion of Desert Treasure and killing each of the God Wars generals or their bodyguards. The key is also a one-off use that grants permanent access to the Ancient Prison without having to bring and/or repair the key.- In RuneScape, the killcount to reach Nex’s chamber could be skipped by wearing ancient ceremonial robes; however, as ecumenical keys exist in Old School, the robes do not have the ability to skip killcount, though it gives the stats of monk robes rather than being purely cosmetic.- New rewards were proposed rather than copying Nex’s drop table as it was in 2011.- The mechanics of the boss fight received some modifications and balancing tweaks to fit Old School RuneScape, though the fight is still largely similar to how it was in 2011.Alongside the release of Nex, the developers have also revealed that League III is ready for release on January 19th, with more details on the Shattered Relics arriving in the coming weeks.Make sure to check out the official patch notes for today’s update further down this article.⚔ Get ready to take on Nex, the imprisoned general of the Second Age!
