Cyrisus


 * NOTE: This page contains spoilers for those who have not completed While Guthix Sleeps. If you have not completed the quest, and do not want the quest to be spoiled, do not read further.

Cyrisus is located deep in the Lunar Isle mine, where he has been unconscious for some time.

In Dream Mentor, the player nurses him back to good health, but only known to the player at that point as "Fallen Man", by providing him with food and words of encouragement, until he is well enough to reveal to the player who he is. He requests that the player fetch him his favourite outfit from his bank, depending on what the player's combat level is based on.

Once he is dressed he reveals that although he is incredibly skilled, being able to smith full sets of Rune armour, bake Summer pies and grow Spirit Trees, (and with a combat level of 138, meaning he has 99 in all combat skills) he is mortally afraid of combat. The Oneiromancer suggests that the player help Cyrisus overcome this fear by entering Dreamland with him to help him conquer his fears. Once the player enters Cyrisus's dreamland and vanquishes his feelings of inadequacy, inability to endure, pacifism, inexperience and other doubts Cyrisus has, he overcomes his fear of combat. By way of thanks, he shares with the player some knowledge he picked up during his time on Lunar Isle.

Cyrisus became level 99 in all melee skills while being terrified of combat. It was revealed in the August 2007 Postbag from the Hedge that he got his high combat level by doing nothing but killing 300 chickens a day for 30 years, which actually does come out to around the experience needed for the melee skills (over 39 million experience), with burying the bones adding up to the experience needed for 99 Prayer!

After Cyrisus leaves, his newfound lust for battle takes over. If the player talks to him he will either be killing the Kalphite Queen with some slayer masters, fighting TzTok-Jad, attending a meeting with the leaders of RuneScape, player-killing in the Bounty Hunter volcano or practicing Summoning. Since most of the time he's travelling around Runescape looking for new adventures, it is impossible to find him at a specific location. In order to contact him you must use the NPC Contact lunar spell.

He has a small role in the While Guthix Sleeps quest, belonging to the band of eight warriors who attempt to save the player from the fortress of Lucien. He is one of the six who perish in the ensuing battle against Lucien. After the quest, at present, there is no way to contact Cyrisus and no replacement for him.

Trivia

 * At the beginning of Dream Mentor quest, if a player attempt to give him a purple sweets, a message will appear: "Sweets? You do know they rot your teeth?"
 * If you ask him to talk about himself, he tells that he grew up in Ardougne and that he enjoys Fishing.
 * Previously, if a player attempted to contact Cyrisus after While Guthix Sleeps through the lunar spell NPC Contact, no runes would be used and instead a message would appear saying, "You take a moment of silence in honour of your fallen brethren, Cyrisus. Lucien will be made to pay." This has been removed.
 * During Dream Mentor, Cyrisus' combat level is revealed to be 138. However, during While Guthix Sleeps, it is 197. He has probably had time to raise his skills, somehow above the limits other players have, since your character has helped him overcome his fear of combat.
 * Cyrisus' combat level was raised from 126 to 138 the same day Summoning was released.
 * In the While Guthix Sleeps quest, he seems to be wielding an Abyssal Whip.
 * Cyrius claims that he killed 300 chickens a day for 30 years. This is 10943 days (including leap years) of killing 300 chickens each day, or killing 3,282,900 chickens. Assuming he collected JUST the 100% drops of a chicken, he would have made GP.
