Something wicked has crept into Gielinor... A haunted maze, three cursed boss pits and three skilling bosses are waiting for the bravest adventurers! ️

The event runs for a limited time (about 2–3 weeks).
The portal is OPEN! Find the Haunted Grounds portal in Edgeville and step inside!

️ The Haunted Maze

Find your way through a twisted, fog-filled hedge maze. Reach the old chest in the middle to claim your reward:

🪓 A Scythe! (once per account)

️ You need at least 10 hours of total playtime to enter the portal.

The Boss Pits

Next to the maze are three cursed pits, each with its own boss. All pits are multi-combat, so bring your friends!
There's also a bank chest right next to the pits.

Cursed Hellhound (easy, level 125)

A black hellhound with burning orange claws.

• Melee attacks
• Sometimes it howls and marks the ground around you: move off the marked tiles before they explode!

Shadow Fiend (medium, level 175)

A demon born from the darkest shadows.

• Strong melee attacks
• Calls down dark blasts on marked tiles, so keep moving!

️ TzTok-Jad (hard, level 250)

The legendary beast of the Fight Caves has arrived!

• Magic: he rears up and breathes fire
• 🪨 Ranged: he stomps the ground and rocks fall on you
• Melee: if you stand right next to him
• Watch his animation and switch your protection prayer! The right prayer blocks his attack completely.
• Shared loot! Everyone who helps fight Jad gets their own drop.

For the Cursed Hellhound and Shadow Fiend, the drop goes to the player who did the most damage.

🪓 Skilling Bosses

Not a fighter? No problem! On the west side of the maze you can take down Halloween bosses with your skills. Every hit gives you XP and sometimes extra logs, coal or sharks.
️ They mark the ground under your feet now and then, so stay awake and move off the marked tile! No AFKing.

Haunted Tree (easy, Woodcutting 1)

• Bring any axe. Everyone can join!
• Drop goes to the player who did the most damage

Pumpkin Golem (medium, Mining 50)

• Bring any pickaxe
• It walks around, so keep following it!
• Drop goes to the player who did the most damage

Swamp Lurker (hard, Fishing 70)

• Bring a harpoon (dragon harpoon works too)
• It walks around, so keep following it!
• Shared loot! Everyone who helps gets their own drop

A higher level and a better tool = more damage = faster kills!
