Shattered Worlds is a combat-oriented members-only minigame in which various monsters from worlds corrupted by the Abyss are fought in waves, with side objectives to complete. It's a solo minigame with safe death, with a recommendation of at least level 40 combat to participate. It is hosted by the Abyssal Knights in the south-west of the Lumbridge Swamp, who aim to protect Gielinor from potential invasions from the Abyss.

Upon visiting the minigame for the first time, speak to Kenton Decarte for a brief explanation about it as well as the purpose of the Abyssal Knights. A bank may be found next to him as well.

Augmented gear and weapons will gain item experience while playing Shattered Worlds.

Travel

The entrance to Shattered Worlds is found in Lumbridge Swamp, next to the Water Altar. It can be accessed by:

• Wicked hood teleport to water altar
• Coming out via the shed that leads to Zanaris
• Lumbridge and Draynor home teleports
• Using the Traveller's necklace to teleport to Wizards' tower

Gameplay

The Abyssal Knights' headquarters.

The Shattered Worlds are entered alone, in aid of the Abyssal Knights. Upon entering the minigame the match can be set up by selecting the desired gear and food from presets in the match set up interface. Anyone may use the "equip me" and "feed me" options to be given appropriate equipment and food, or one may bring their own equipment and consumables. A choice is also given from 3 positive buffs with which to start the minigame.

The blue portal may then be entered to begin the minigame. Gameplay involves travelling through worlds: at least 75% of the enemies in a world must be defeated before one can move to the red portal to progress to the next world. Moving behind the red portal also blocks the pursuit of the remaining enemies, allowing the player to safely choose the next mutator.

The monsters have no weakness to any particular combat style and their combat levels increase as one progresses through worlds. Difficulty also increases as one fights in higher numbers of worlds by having increasing numbers of mutators applied, some of which may be dangerous. The monsters use a variety of combat styles, though each will only use one, and are abyssal versions of monsters found on RuneScape itself.

Progress is checkpointed (saved) every 5 worlds. Once a checkpoint is reached, one may leave the minigame with the progress being saved: the next time Shattered Worlds is played, the option to either continue from the checkpoint or claim the rewards from a previous encounter will be presented. Checkpoints will also have bank chests to allow restocking, and will heal one's health, but prayer points are not restored, nor is poison cured. The maximum possible number of worlds is 4,000; the developers expected, however, that around 150 worlds would be a difficult number for players to reach. After reaching 200 worlds, no extra rewards for completing additional worlds will be received.

There are weekly bronze, silver, and gold challenges which will be the same for everyone. The bronze ones are usually fairly easy to complete, whereas the gold challenges are substantially more difficult. They are accessed through the red portal. Some challenges however, involve achievements accomplished through normal gameplay (e.g. "clear five worlds above world 20" or "kill 50 demons") - these cannot be started using the red portal, but are tracked and completed during regular Shattered Worlds games.

If one manages to clear a world within 3 minutes, the next world will be skipped automatically (announced in the chatbox) upon entering the red portal. If one manages to clear a world within 2 minutes, the next 2 worlds will be skipped automatically. World skips may only happen within a set of 5 worlds (ex. W1-5, W26-50, W81-85, etc.) - players cannot skip to the next set of worlds.

Side objectives

This article needs an image of the side objectives. Please insert an existing image, or upload a new one if necessary.

Chest

Players may encounter a chest which can be activated. When activated a timer will start and monsters will spawn and the player can attempt to kill as many of the creatures as possible. When the timer is full, the player is awarded shattered anima based on how many creatures are killed.

Ghosts

Players may encounter a fountain surrounded by eight ghosts. If the fountain is activated a timer will start during which the player can attempt to kill as many of the ghosts as possible. When the timer is full, the player is awarded shattered anima based on how many are killed.

Ghosts count towards the goal of killing 75% of the monsters on the shattered world.

Goebies

Sometimes a Goebie will be found, which when killed gives a chunk of shattered anima. The amount of anima from a Goebie kill caps at ~1.2 million.

Shield

Players can encounter a shield which can be destroyed. After destruction, an ancient relic is found. This can be sacrificed on one of the three altars in the same map. The three altars are: The Altar of Boosted Anima, the Altar of Restoration, The Altar of Instant Anima.

Mutators

Image	Name	Type	Description
	Blood Money	Positive	Enemies bleed anima currency when you damage them. The amount is quite small despite the impressive animation - choose other positive mutators instead.
	Catastrophe	Negative	Evil Bob is hunting you down to feast on your summoning points, your prayer points and then your run energy! Leg it! He spawns at the blue portal and cannot be trapped. Guaranteed death on worlds 250+.
	Charged	Positive	Collect electric orbs to deal large amounts of AoE damage to enemies within 5 squares distance. The player does not have to be in combat with the mobs, and the mobs will not aggro if only hit by the electric orbs. Damage dealt is increased with more charges. Effect lasts 30 seconds, and damage boost is capped at 10 stacks. Getting a stack will refresh the 30 seconds timer.
	Combustion	Negative	Some enemies will spawn patches of fire around them. Don't get burned! Fires are 1 square and last a few minutes, but possible to see many at once. May spawn on the square where you are standing.
	Die Together	Negative	Some enemies are now linked by the power of friendship. They must both be below 10% life points before they can die. Poison damage and damage from Explosive/Electric/Charged mutators is not able to skip the mechanic.
	Electric	Positive	Successfully hitting an enemy has a chance to trigger an electric surge, dealing damage and jumping to 2 enemies within 6 squares distance.
	Explosive	Neutral	Enemies explode on death, dealing damage to everything around them. The explosion is 7x7 AoE and can easily kill you if you are close by. For larger sized mobs (2x2 squares or bigger), the explosion is 10x10 AoE.
	Feeling pumped	Positive	You have a small chance on successful hits to feel EPIC, gaining unlimited adrenaline for the next 10 seconds. Bleed abilities and using weapon poison++ has a much higher chance to activate it.
	Freezing	Negative	Some enemies will spawn moving freezing balls around them, get caught in the landing area of 7x7 AoE and you'll get frozen! Players will be stunned for several seconds. Guaranteed death on worlds 200+.
	Honourable	Neutral	You deal more damage to adjacent enemies and take more damage from enemies at range.
	Hungry	Negative	Food heals for half the normal amount. Unicorn Stallion's healing, Enhanced Excalibur's special, and Regenerate is not affected
	Hydra	Negative	Killing some enemies will cause them to erupt into numerous smaller versions of themselves! These mini-enemies will follow you around the entire map to kill you and each one are just as strong as their original. Guaranteed death on worlds 200+.
File:Laser Lodestones.png	Laser Lodestones	Neutral	Unstable crystal shards appear around the world. Touch them to create barriers between them that will harm you and the enemy. When activated, the lasers exist for a few minutes before completely disappearing. The lasers do very little damage to mobs who get hit, but massive damage to players hit by the laser. More beneficial than some positive mutators - if you don't activate the lodestones, you can use them to trap enemies and safe-spot from a distance.
	Leeching	Negative	Your opponents will heal a small amount of life each time they damage you. Decent option to choose if no positive mutators are given.
File:Power grows mutator.png	Power Grows	Positive	Killing an enemy has a chance to buff some of your stats! This will occasionally add +1 to a combat stat, which falls back down naturally over time.
	Protect	Negative	Some enemies are now protecting others, the protected enemies cannot be harmed until their protector has died.
	Rockfall	Negative	Some enemies will spawn rockfalls around them, don't get crushed! The rocks are 5x5 AoE and there will be shadows over the area 1 second before it falls. Being at the center of the AoE will result in more damage. Guaranteed death on worlds 350+.
	Static	Negative	The longer you stand still, the more damage you'll take! Simples! Caps at 20 stacks, resulting in +200% damage taken (triple damage from enemies).
	Unstable Rifts	Neutral	Rifts appear around the world which will teleport you to other rifts. Random teleports happen without warning if gotten close to the shard or the shard spawns near you. Guaranteed death on worlds 200+.
	Vampyric	Positive	You will heal a small amount of life each time you damage an enemy. Similar to Vampyrism aura, but without the 50 life points healed max per hit cap.
	Volcanic	Negative	Some enemies will spawn volcanic eruptions around them. These meteors do damage in a 5x5 AoE and there will be green markers indicating the hit area 2 seconds before it falls. Being at the center of the AoE will result in more damage. Guaranteed death on worlds 350+.
File:Zombie apocalypse mutator.png	Zombie Apocalypse	Negative	Defeating an enemy can summon a terrifying undead brood. Several undead chicken spawn and a short while later explode in a 3x3 AoE. Easy to avoid if ranging from a distance and moving away as needed. Decent option to choose if no positive mutators are given.
	Zone of Restoration	Positive	Conjures zones of restoration. They will restore your summoning points, then your prayer points, and then your life points. Staying in the center will heal faster.
	Zone of Suffering	Negative	Conjures zones of suffering. They will deplete your summoning points, then your prayer points and then your life points. Staying in the center will deplete faster.

• Enemies currently affected by 1 negative mutator capable of spawning environmental effects which can harm you will be presented with a teal skull symbol over their head:
• Enemies currently affected by 2 negative mutators capable of spawning environmental effects which can harm you will be presented with an orange skull symbol over their head:
• Enemies currently affected by 3+ negative mutators capable of spawning environmental effects which can harm you will be presented with a red skull symbol over their head:

Strategy guide

Worlds

For low worlds (w1-50), the player should aim for clearing the world as fast as possible in order to skip a world.

The chicken from "feed me" is usually sufficient. Any combat style is suitable, but AoE abilities such as Hurricane and Quake is preferred.

For medium worlds (w51-100), enemies will have over 100 combat level and negative mutators will also hit harder. The player may consider switch from melee to magic or ranged, in order to reduce damage taken from negative mutators. The food from "feed me" should still be sufficient.

For high worlds (w101-150), directly engaging a group of enemies will be difficult, due to high incoming damage. Hit once with Corruption Blast or Corruption Shot (can be bought from GE with Mazcab ability codex) and run back to a safespot is a safer option. If possible, aim for a melee monster to cast corruption blast/shot, as the mob may retreat and and allow the attack to spread to more mobs.

For very high worlds (w151-200), using weapons with long attack range such as Noxious Longbow, Decimation, and Wyvern crossbow to snipe from a distance is highly recommended. Pay careful attention to the surroundings and the terrain of the environment to look for safe-spots - use the edges of the map or obstacles often helps. Use abilities for their effects like Rapid Fire and its guaranteed binding; Devotion and its guaranteed damage mitigation.

For extremely high worlds (w201+), bring 5 Achto armour pieces and a tier 90 defender, as well as equipment that increases hitchance (e.g. Reckless, Ancestor spirits, or accuracy auras). Take advantage of the Achto cooldown resets to heal with Rejuvenate when needed. The majority of the player's damage per second in these worlds will be from reflect and weapon poison damage, as the monsters' defenses scale up incredibly high.

It is recommended to bring any variation of Prayer renewal such as Holy overload potion or Supreme overload salves for prayer restoration. Defensive items such as Superior leviathan ring and Blood amulets can help to increase survival.

Additionally, players seeking to push their worlds higher should contemplate the time it took them to clear the highest 5 worlds on their list and prioritize good connectivity, as any form of disconnect (even going into lobby) will kick them out of their current map, making them fail the checkpoint.

Prioritise selecting mutators in this order: Feeling Pumped > Zones of Restoration > Electric > Charged > Explosive > Vampyric > Laser Lodestones > Blood Money > Power Grows > Honorable > Hungry > Static.

Never select these mutators, as they basically guaranteed death: Catastrophe, Unstable Rifts, Hydra, Freezing.

Maps

Although maps are randomly generated and can't be selected, this is the list of the easiest to hardest maps: Grass Plains > Snow Plains > Mazcab > Arc > Freneskae > Darkmeyer > Tarddiad. The wide open grass plains, few obstacles, and fences (which can be ranged over) to trap mobs make the Grass Plains map the easiest. The extremely dense trees and other obstacles (which can't be ranged over) in the Tarddiad map makes it the hardest.

Orks and hobgoblins have a higher chance of spawning on the Grass Plains map.

Elves have a higher chance of spawning on the Tarddiad map.

Demons and the undead have a higher chance of spawning on the Darkmeyer map.

Challenge mode

Completing a challenge involving many environmental dangers.

Each week there are three challenges to complete. These can be attempted by entering the red challenger portal. There are three categories, according to their difficulty. Completing these weekly challenges rewards large amounts shattered anima. Some challenges involve killing a certain number of a certain type of monster or clearing a number of worlds above a certain threshold; these are to be completed through regular gameplay via the blue portal.

Challenges reset at 00:00 UTC every Wednesday.

Current Weekly Challenges
Challenge type	Title	Task	Reward
Bronze	The Undead Rise	Clear this world using the Undead Rise Mutators.	250,000 shattered anima
Silver	Experienced Adventurer	Clear 2 worlds over world 40.	1,000,000 shattered anima
Gold	Keep Moving	Clear 5 worlds with Keep Moving Mutators.	7,500,000 shattered anima

Bonus shattered anima

Bonus shattered anima is awarded upon reaching a new highest world. The amount of anima that is awarded increases with each new world that is reached for the first time. Even if the player manages to skip a world, the bonus anima is still awarded. The amount of bonus anima rewarded for each world and the cumulative bonus anima are given by the following formula (W = highest world reached):

$\text{Bonus anima} = (W - 1)^2 \times 100$

$\text{Cumulative bonus anima} = \displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{W} (n-1)^2 \times 100 =\frac{50}{3} \times (2W^3 - 3W^2 + W)$

Trivia

• Mod Deg stated on the Shattered Worlds showcase he would be very impressed if players could reach world 150, since the difficulty of the mobs increase exponentially as players move from world to world.
• The examine texts of the red portal and blue portals within the Shattered Worlds reference the red and blue pill from The Matrix.
• The description for the Feeling Pumped buff references the "feel EPIC" line from the Money Supermarket adverts.
• The description for the Static debuff references the "Simples!" line of the Compare the Market ad campaign.
• It was originally planned for release in August 2016, however its release was pushed back to 2 May 2017.
• Stardust Crusade may be a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.

Glitches

• Upon the minigame's release, players that died while fighting certain bosses in RuneScape such as Telos, the Warden and Araxxi would be teleported to Shattered Worlds' checkpoint world instead of their respawn point, keeping all their items but losing any streaks they may have had. This has since been fixed.
• It was possible to enter a portal to the checkpoint world while taking damage, which would result in the damage being taken once in the world. If this happened, it resulted in an unsafe death. This has since been fixed.
