RuneScape’s latest quest, Ancient Awakening, releases today. It continues the Fort Forinthy questline, and so the requirements for the most part are rather player friendly. Still, you cannot hop in and expect to partake in the quest without knocking a few things off the list. So, to make sure that you are ready to go, here is a complete list of all prerequisite requirements needed to start RuneScape’s newest quest Ancient Awakening.

All Requirements for the Ancient Awakening Quest in RuneScape

As Ancient Awakening is part of the Fort Forinthry questline, you will have to complete the four previous quests in the questline. Fortunately, these quests have rather low requirements, and very little skill requirements, and so even if you are just beginning the questline, it will not take you too long to catch up and end up with the fort of your dreams.

Tip:

All quests in the Fort Forinthry questline are member quests only. You will not be able to partake in any of the following if you are a free-to-play player.

Prerequisites Required for Ancient Awakening

In the below table you can clearly see each previous quest in the questline which leads up to Ancient Awakening, as well as the requirements to begin all of them.
