The Blood Pact

The Blood Pact is a quest released on 15 March 2010, hitting the 300 quest point total. Not counting seasonal events or the new tutorial, it was the first new quest available for free players since Rune Mysteries which was released in 2003. New free-to-play items were released with the quest along with a new item for those who have obtained 300 quest points.

Walkthrough
Start the quest by talking to Xenia in Lumbridge Graveyard. She will ask for help and will tell you Zamorakian Cultists have captured a young lady named Ilona. Agree to help her, and head down into the Lumbridge Catacombs.

Kayle

 * You will arrive in a big hall with Xenia and Kayle on the opposite end. Quickly go up to him and attack him, Or you could go from behind the walls, which is recommended.
 * After he is beaten, you can ask him questions, or simply kill him or let him go.

Caitlin

 * Take Kayle's weapons, wield them, and go to the second room.
 * Caitlin, another Cultist, will attack you from across a gap. She is level 3 and has 20 life points. Fight her with Kayle's bow and arrows to bring her down. Then, activate the nearby winch.
 * Talk to Caitlin when you reach the other side. Ask her questions, or simply kill her or let her go.

Reese

 * Walk across the hall and try to open the door which Reese stands behind.
 * Reese's_Lair.png the door, and a dialogue box will appear. Choose any option, and prepare to fight Reese (note: you may use any combat style). As with the other two, choose whether to kill him or let him go. Reese will refuse to go if you choose to free him, and kill himself. Take his sword as well and untie Ilona.
 * Afterwards, you will appear outside the tomb and Ilona will say "Gods...Saradomin...We're out." and she'll say that she thought she was going to die down there and she will thank you.
 * Choose "It was nothing". and she will say "Oh,such a hero!" and Xenia will say "Yes,I'm impressed." and Xenia will say that it looks like you have prevailed, she will let you keep the weapons and give you the weapons which you missed. Then she will give you 200 arrows, 200 air runes and 200 mind runes. You will be given the same rewards regardless of which conversation options you choose.
 * Ask her what happened to catacombs or just say "I think I'll go."

Trivia



 * On the day the quest was released, the spoiler said: "No information on the rewards for this quest will be available until the cult activity is identified and thwarted. Rest assured though, that there will be several useful items for new adventurers."
 * With the release of The Blood Pact, there are now 300 Quest Points available in the game. If you have 300 points, make sure you speak to Xenia again after completing The Blood Pact, as she has a special reward to help you show off your dedication to quests. Unlike the Quest Cape, the new item's requirements will stay fixed at 300 Quest Points even after new quests are released – once you have 300 Quest Points, you can wear the item forever. This item is the Helmet of trials; it has no bonuses.
 * When you complete the quest, your Adventurer's Log will say, "I defeated a trio of Zamorakian cultists in the catacombs beneath Lumbridge Church."
 * There is a glitch when casting a spell or meleeing with the new staff, the staff seems to float. This floating glitch is also evident when defending from an attack.
 * There is another glitch when you get your reward and Xenia gives you the runes, the text says "Xenia gives you some air runes" and you actually get mind runes, and vice versa.
 * Several Demon statuettes can be found in the Catacombs. The six demon statuettes are Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz, and Jade. Xenia will buy these from you for 1000, 500, 400, 300, 200, and 100gp, respectively (2500gp total).
 * This is the newest non-members quest; Dragon Slayer, the next-most recent quest, was released in 2002.
 * If you have completed Dragon Slayer, Xenia will say that she knows your name through her contacts from the Champions' Guild. If you have completed the Heroes' Quest, Xenia will say that she knows your name from her contacts from the Heroes' Guild. If you have completed Legends' Quest, Xenia will say that she knows your name through her contacts from the Legends' Guild. Xenia will only refer to the most advanced guild if you have completed more than one of these quests.
 * When the cultists are on the ground, they appear to have a new chathead.
 * If you poison any of the cultists, they'll still take poison damage while you're talking to them when they're downed. They don't die from it.
 * "Xenia," the name of the lady of whom you start the quest with, means "hospitality" in Greek.
