Vorago

Vorago is a gigantic, rocky and extremely powerful boss monster created by the Anima Mundi, or as he refers to it, the "earth soul", billed as the toughest boss monster in RuneScape. He is an ancient being and used to cause chaos in the past, but was defeated and went into a slumber. Towards the end of the Fifth Age, he reawoke, now much friendlier.

Vorago is found in the Borehole, a large cave north of Falador, and wishes to test his strength against challengers in order to prepare to defend Gielinor against future threats, such as the gods, should he deem them as such. He was defeated long ago by a powerful weapon known as the Maul of Omens after using his power to destroy, but has since reformed, although he is more passive now.

If challenged, Vorago uses five stages of increasingly high-hitting attacks that change on a weekly basis. Rewards include level 90 Magic equipment - materials needed to make tectonic armour - and the seismic wand and seismic singularity.

Location
Vorago is located in the cave just north of Falador, east of Doric's hut. The fastest way to get there is by teleporting to the Falador Lodestone and running north, past the statue of Saradomin, or simply use Falador Teleport (or, of course, the teletab version). Alternatively, a games necklace (to the Gamers' Grotto) or a Goblin Village sphere are handy options.

Starting a fight
There are two distinct ways to start a fight with Vorago - with or without an instance.

With an instance, you can pay per hour, up to a maximum of four hours, to start your own fight, similar to how the God Wars Dungeon instances work. You can set the number of people allowed in the instance (from 1 to 50 players), the minimum combat level allowed to enter the instance, and an optional entry key that other players can use to enter the instance privately.

You could also use the one non-instanced Vorago spawn on each world, which costs nothing but is open to anyone. If Vorago's head is not visible (hence a rocky look on the wall), it means that a team is currently fighting him. If his head can be seen, he is not in a fight.

Once inside the cave, there's a series of chasms that can be jumped across to go to the northern area. Talk to Vorago, and go through all the choices that involve why he is here and challenging him. Once these are done, two coloured messages should show up saying that you are now eligible to fight Vorago.

Upon taking the challenge from Vorago, all nearby players will be given the option if they will want to fight with you or not. After 20 seconds, he unleashes a blast of 50,000 damage which is split between all players who accepted his challenge. Players who do not accept the challenge will not be harmed by the blast.

Trivia

 * Vorago is an English word, derived from Latin, meaning abyss, chasm, or gull.
 * Following the release of Vorago, there was a dangerous bug where if a team reached halfway through the final phase, everyone in that world would disconnect from the game and anyone who died was unable to reach their gravestones as it caused that world to go offline. This bug however, did not occur in foreign servers such as the German servers (w121/123).
 * Vorago is loosely based on the living rock creatures, as Mod Chris L says.
