Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok

Walk through
Talk to Surok at the Saradomin statue outside north east of Varrock (Note: For Surok to be there you must tunnel into Saradomin statue, enter and come out and Surok should be there). Your character will attempt to arrest him, and he will distract you while he goes into the Tunnel of Chaos. Follow him through the hole in the statue of Saradomin into the Tunnel of Chaos, then go to the first room on the left (west) where Dakh'thoulan Aegis stands, then enter the portal that leads to the Chaos Tunnels. Note that there are footprints leading up to this portal. When traversing the Chaos Tunnels, make sure to enter any portals with the same footprints. Not all rooms have portals with footprints. Every second portal with footprints will lead to a cut scene.

Notes
 * Be very careful in the Chaos Tunnels as the whole zone is multi-combat. You may find it useful to turn off auto-retaliate in the tunnels.
 * Due to the occasional random nature of the chaos teleports, equipping an anti dragon shield until you get to Bork is a smart choice (two caverns have Bronze dragons and one of them you must go into).
 * Do not underestimate the Dagannoths as many high levelled players have been caught by surprise by the rapid 5's that they hit.
 * Get past the shadow spiders as quick as possible to conserve prayer.
 * Do not attack the dust devils they are non-aggressive but deadly.
 * Some caverns will be "safe", for example, Moss Giants will not be aggressive to higher levels. Use them to recuperate run energy and hit points, feed, pot up, and equip.
 * It may be possible to make the next cavern non-aggressive by standing close enough to it for a while
 * Random portal failure can happen.



In the Tunnels, you will find many enemies. Most attack with Melee, so Protect from Melee will prevent most damage you take. However, the Chaos Tunnels are long and if your combat level is below 105, shadow spiders may drain your Prayer. If you want to use Protect from Melee, you may want to bring a prayer potion or two. If you have completed The Temple at Senntisten and you have 71 Prayer, the Deflect Melee prayer in the Ancient Curses prayer book is great, since it lasts longer than Protect from Melee and can deflect some of the damage monsters do back on them.

You will encounter Surok three times in the tunnels, based on where you go.
 * The first encounter, in the deadly red spider room, will involve seeing him killing 2 fire giants in one hit ([[File:111 hit.png]]111 damage each).


 * The second encounter in the skeleton's room will involve your character attempting to stop him, but he will summon 2 big wolves, not to mention the undead already in the dungeon to attack you. Do as you wish with them.
 * The last encounter is near the Dagannoth room (most north west region of the chaos tunnels). There you will encounter a portal to the west with the familiar footsteps. Enter it, and you will find Surok for the final combat.
 * From here on, you may use the Map to Bork from Edgeville located below. Feel free to restock before killing him once and for all. If you have "tested" the tunnel up to this point, get everything you need for battle. ONLY use this map AFTER you have reached Bork. Otherwise, it will not work!



The Boss Battle
Surok will summon Bork (level 267) who has fairly high defence, is immune to poison and only uses melee attacks. It is recommended to turn on Protect from melee and attempt to defeat him, or you can run from the west wall to the north wall which will get him caught for the perfect safe spot until he summons his minions. At level 71 prayer, it is better to use the Deflect Melee prayer, which lasts longer than Protect from Melee and can deal damage to Bork. When Bork is at 3/4 health, he will summon 2-4 Ork legions (level 70) to attack you. If you stand near them, they will melee you. Otherwise they will range you. However, they will stop attacking you if you run across the cave. It is recommended to stand near them, as you have Protect from melee on.



The battle can be started and then restarted at a later time. This may be helpful if your resources have dwindled while travelling throughout the caves. It may be wise to begin the battle, teleport out, and re-enter when you are fully stocked using the shortest route to the final battle.

Be warned, Surok will also attack the player every 16–20 seconds during the battle! His magical attacks can hit up to 30 on the player.

Surok can be attacked, however, your attacks will have no effect whatsoever.

When you defeat Bork, he will fall to the ground. Surok, realising that he is defeated again, will call Zamorak for help and teleport out of the cave. Quickly, grab the monster's drops and get out, for the cave will be collapsing. You will lose some hitpoints if you stay in the cave too long (you will only be damaged twice before being forced out of the area with your character saying "I'm getting out of here!").

Congratulations! Miniquest complete!

Trivia

 * "Borked" is internet-technical slang for something that is broken as in "that update borked" or "you totally borked the time rotor." In this case the portals in the Chaos Tunnels are "borked".


 * "Bork" is also reference to the Borg, a race in Star Trek that seeks to forcefully add other species into their collective. When fighting the Ork Legions that Bork summons, they may shout phrases like "We are the collective!" "Resistance is futile!", references to the Borg in Star Trek.


 * "Bork" is also a portmanteau of the two words 'Big and 'Ork'. This is played on in his examine text which says "That's one Big ork."


 * "The Hunt for Surok" is a pun for another Star Trek movie titled: "The Search for Spock". Surok is also the name of the vulcan who instituted the philosophy of logic over emotion which caused the split of the romulans from vulcan.


 * Interestingly, Members who have completed What Lies Below can start the miniquest on free to play servers. They can encounter Surok near the entrance, and see the cutscene where he enters the tunnels. However, the player cannot enter the tunnel itself, thereby preventing the miniquest from progressing further


 * In the news article about this miniquest, there is a line that states "for there are worse things than simple orks in the dark places of this world." This is taken from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring when they go into the Mines of Moria.
