OSRS Blood Moon Rises Quest Guide: Requirements and Full Walkthrough

Quest Overview

The Blood Moon Rises is the sixth and final quest in the Myreque series — a Grandmaster, very long quest released June 30, 2026. It concludes the Drakan / Myreque storyline and unlocks Vampyrium, the vampyre home realm.

If you want Maggot King, this quest is mandatory. Start point: talk to Sarius Guile in the Icyene Graveyard.

Skill Requirements

• 74 Slayer (not boostable)
• 74 Woodcutting (not boostable)
• 72 Smithing (not boostable)
• 72 Cooking (not boostable)
• 70 Fletching (not boostable)
• 66 Mining, 65 Hunter, 64 Crafting, 64 Herblore, 57 Magic (check wiki for boost rules)

Recommended combat around 110+. This quest includes multiple hard fights, including Lowerniel Drakan encounters.

Quest Prerequisites

You need the Myreque chain complete through A Night at the Theatre and Sins of the Father, plus the earlier Myreque / Morytania set: A Taste of Hope, Darkness of Hallowvale, In Aid of the Myreque, In Search of the Myreque, Nature Spirit, Priest in Peril, The Restless Ghost, and Vampyre Slayer.

If any of those are missing, fix the chain before you touch Sarius. Grandmaster finales punish incomplete homework.

Items to Bring

• Blisterwood flail (or coins to obtain)
• Vyre noble clothing (available from the Myreque hideout chest if needed)
• Melee combat gear + strong food / prayer potions / stamina
• Tinderbox, pickaxe, hammer, knife, chisel (many obtainable during quest)
• Drakan’s medallion and Morytania legs for travel QoL

Walkthrough Map (Section Guide)

Use this as a chapter map while following the OSRS Wiki walkthrough for exact clicks:

1. Icyene Graveyard start with Sarius → gather Ivan from the Myreque hideout
2. Castle Drakan announcement sequence and defend Ivan
3. Slepe / Veliaf reunion path through Crombwick Manor
4. Paterdomus lore puzzle and Ivandis writings
5. Daeyalt tunnels into Castle Drakan; unlock medallion shrine teleport
6. Vampyrium castle puzzles, supplies, and multi-phase Drakan finale
7. Post-quest unlocks: Vampyrium access and Maggot King path

Inside Vampyrium, death mechanics use checkpoints with items kept (Hardcores still lose status). Unlimited local supplies appear before major fights — learn the supply chests instead of panic-teleporting out.

Combat Encounters to Respect

You will fight vyrewatch/sentinels, sanguidae, venators, Nylocas waves, Theatre-style bosses (Maiden / Nylocas Vasilias / Wyrd contexts appear in the quest flow), and multiple Lowerniel Drakan fights culminating at very high combat level.

Pray correctly, prioritise adds that threaten NPCs, and treat each Drakan phase as its own boss learn.

After the Quest

Unlock Maggot King farming east of Sangvesti in Vampyrium. Rescue the Aranei scout for travel QoL, build the bank chest (70 Construction materials), and start learning kills. Continue with our Maggot King guide.

Optional Help

Grandmaster length is the #1 reason busy players stall. Quest services or targeted skill training for the 70–74 gates can unblock the finale. Read which quests to outsource if you are deciding.

FAQ

Is this required for Maggot King?

Yes. Maggot King requires The Blood Moon Rises completion.

Can hardcore ironmen safely do it?

Checkpoint item-keeping helps learning, but any death still ends HCIM status. Treat every fight seriously.

Practical Notes (1) for The Blood Moon Rises quest

When you apply this guide to The Blood Moon Rises quest, write down your weekly hours, your account mode (main, iron, group), and one milestone you can finish in seven days. Plans fail when they assume unlimited time. A resilient OSRS plan expects imperfect weeks and still moves a little every session.

Separate hype from checklist. Launch weeks and new bosses create FOMO. Your job is not to clear every activity on day one — it is to unlock the content that matches your goals without burning supplies, GP, or motivation. Players who specialise for seven days usually outperform players who dabble in everything.

Also document decisions. Note why you chose a method, a gear swap, or a break. Future-you will forget the context and may undo a good plan in a moment of impatience. A simple phone note is enough to keep your strategy coherent across a busy month of updates.

• Re-state your primary goal for The Blood Moon Rises quest in one sentence.
• List three actions that each take under one hour.
• Bank supplies before the rush spikes prices.
• Verify final numbers on the OSRS Wiki after patches.
• Schedule a review after your first full session.
• Protect one fun activity so the grind does not delete the game.
