Hey all, over the course of the next 1 month I will periodically post clues, in no specific order, about 5 different locations in oldschool runescape.
Think of this like a mixture between classic hide n seek with clues, and connections (ny time game). You get a lot of clues about a few different locations, but dont necessarily know which clues go to which location (thats part of what you have to figure out!)
- The first person to screenshot themselves at that location and post it in this topic, will win 3,000 forum gold. If you take a screenshot and you are on the exact tile, I will award an extra 1,000 forum gold. Whether you are close enough to win is at my discretion and may be related to the clues given (IE: if something specific needs to be in-frame/visible). The first person to find a location successfully will earn a bonus 5,000 forum gold.
- Anyone and everyone is eligible to win, but you have to post the screenshot yourself here (which means you need a d2jsp account). If someone who is scammer tagged wins, it will go towards their repayment. If the forum gold is greater than the total repayment, the remainder will be to the Skill Comp funds in that persons' name.
- You will not know what clues are to what location, so if a clue 3 talks about gnomes and clue 5 talks about lava and clue 11 solves to talk about the desert, keep in mind those might be about different locations. You'll have to deduce using your knowledge of the game which clues likely go together.
- Restricted or low level acoounts may not have access to some locations; this is not meant to be equal access for all. Anywhere on the map is possible (within reason, random event locations won't be used for example, as it's RNG if you ever get to be able to visit that location).
- A list of clues given already will be kept in chronological order at the bottom of this post.

Clues:#1, August 10th: Not too long ago, I hopped over a few rocks. You might say I've been in a hurry, I've been running the whole time.#2, August 10th: I got to this land by boat, although from what I can tell I'm definitely in the minority on that approach.#3, August 10th: Where I am can be considered dangerous technically. If anyone were to threaten me, I could easily kill them in one hit, however.#4: August 13th (August 11th late): I don't believe in flying, but this one guy swears that for a few coin, I too can have a new fantastic point of view.#5: August 13th (August 11th late): I don't think I've ever seen anyone else here before. I got lost shortly after entering this world as a fresh ironman and found myself here...help.#6: August 13th (August 11th late): I'm really close to a ladder, although I really don't think going up it is a great idea. In the old days, I would have likely died very quickly.#7: August 13th (August 12th late): One might think of the facial shape(s) of majoras mask..#8: August 13th (August 12th late): Whoever left all those boxes over there is super lazy, it's just 20 or so steps from their actual destination..
#9: August 13th (August 12th late): Sure ill take a pineapple!#10: August 13th: Is that a round myre snelm?#11: August 13th: Does this kitchen range actually vent anywhere? This has to be a hazard.#12: August 13th: A person or two might refer to me as an outlaw; that's why I spend my time here.
#13: August 14th: I passed by a lot of rockslides on my way...although now that I think about it, it doesn't make sense why they're here or how they got to be there..#14: August 14th: Every single rock I can see is covered in moss. How strange.#15: August 14th: Being stuck in here is thirsty work.#16: August 16th (August 15th late): Snaaaake a snaaaake oooooo its a snaaaake MUSHROOM MUSHROOM.#17: August 16th (August 15th late): Imps, rabbits, and sheep, oh my!#18: August 16th (August 15th late): A method of obtaining a particular CerTifiCation may lead you in the right direction.#19: August 16th: I picked up some frogs on the way and took the legs off to make an agility potion. This will come in handy.#20: August 16th: On a raiding run I did nearby, I tripped and fell right in front of a Grizzly bear. Yikes.#21: August 16th: Before I even got stuck in this place, I had to fight off a scorpion. Man those things are huge. Human sized scorpions, why would anyone live or work here?#22: August 17th: There was an extremely loud thud, as if a giant rock just landed nearby with immense force.#23: August 17th: Another key? I have like 82 keys from all around the world already, I don't need another useless key to take up my precious bank space!#24: August 17th: Sometimes the path to take is obvious, but it is not clear of obstacles. On my way here I had to blast through some obstacles myself.This post was edited by Textbook on Aug 18 2025 04:53pm
