Rune Slayers Lich King & Goblin King Quest Boss Guide, How to Start & Tips to Beat!

In this guide, we cover the newest Rune Slayer update that adds two challenging bosses: the Lich King and the Goblin King. We’ll walk you through where to find the quest NPCs, how to start each quest, and share tips on beating these bosses. Read on to learn the full details on how to complete these quests and maximize your rewards.

1. Lich King Quest

Finding the NPC and Starting the Quest

To begin the Lich King quest, head to the Withered Thicket Forest. Look for an NPC named Alyssa located at the center of the map. This character will give you your first quest. Your task is to hunt down the skeleton warriors and skeleton mages that roam the forest.

Completing the Quest and Locating the Boss

Once you have cleared the forest of the skeletons, return to the NPC to submit your quest. The next step requires you to eliminate the boss known as the Lich King. To find him, go to the dungeon located at the top of the map. When you enter the dungeon, follow the path and ignore any harmless green effects along the way. The Lich King will be waiting at the end of the dungeon.

Boss Fight Tips

The Lich King is a tough boss who summons skeleton mobs during the fight. His attacks build up a threat bar that can one-shot you if it fills up. To beat him:

• Keep moving and avoid standing in one spot.

• Focus on kiting his attacks while dealing steady damage.

• Watch out for his area-of-effect moves and be ready to dodge.

2. Goblin King Quest

Triggering the Quest

To unlock the Goblin King quest, talk to Cliff in AshenShire at the Guild Hall. Cliff will explain the task and direct you towards the Goblin King.

Reaching the Goblin King

From AshenShire, head to the Withered Thicket Forest. Follow the fast shortcut through the forest that leads to the Goblin King’s area. Look for an NPC named ISSA near the forest edge; this quest giver will confirm your next step. After speaking with them, continue forward until you reach the Goblin King’s location.

Boss Fight Tips

The Goblin King can deal massive damage with his smash attacks, which can one-shot you if you’re not careful. During the fight:

• Dodge his smash moves by rolling or repeatedly pressing the dodge button.

• Keep a safe distance when he goes into rage mode.

• Stay alert for his summons of small goblins that cause minor damage. By focusing on avoiding his powerful attacks, you can steadily wear him down.

Both the Lich King and the Goblin King quests add an exciting layer of challenge to Rune Slayer. Use the provided tips to navigate through the quest areas and boss fights. With careful planning and quick reflexes, you can overcome these bosses and claim valuable legendary drops. Enjoy the new update and best of luck on your boss-slaying adventures!
