The World Wakes

The World Wakes is a Grandmaster quest, first mentioned in the Lore Livestream and later in the Behind The Scenes. It was said to be released in February 2013, but was later delayed to the week commencing 4 March. The quest is labelled by Mod Mark as "the most important one to date".

It should be noted that those looking for a guide for this quest will almost certainly find spoilers, which should be taken into consideration since this quest is extremely lore-heavy and spoilers could ruin the whole experience.

Guthix' Home?
Orlando Smith has stumbled across some ruins to the west of the Legend's Guild that he believes could save his staggering career at the lumbridge museum. Enter the ruins with him.

Orlando will be amazed by the room, and ask to find an appropriate artefact to take back to the museum. There are four artefacts in the room: a broken blade, a tableau, an inactive obelisk and some parchment. Inspecting all four artefacts will open up another door, leading to a room containing a butterfly statue. Orlando will attempt to lift it, but fails. The player succeeds, activating an alarm system and opening a new set of doors.

Upon entering the new room, automatons will enter and demand the Mahjarrat presence leave. Orlando tries to reason with them, but gets hit by attacks and collapses. The automatons again demand the Mahjarrat presence leaves before attacking the player with all 3 sides of the combat triangle. The automatons have a special attack whereby they thump the ground, causing massive shockwaves and huge damage that can kill in seconds. It is advised to use mage or ranged to take them out.
