Old School RuneScape's most creative boss ever was supposed to release in 2017. Over six years later, Jagex still has not added it to OSRS. This boss is the reason that rare fossils are useless, and may remain that way forever. Find out why the team refuses to finish it.

why do they all use $12 125hz mouse and keyboards at work? lol. jw. honest question.
no just no, you could do better, but everyone that peddles this disease of a "game" does not deserve respect anymore....

Thanks for letting my know to not share your channel, I can't let people like my nephew get scammed out of all of their money!
I actually had no idea that Jagex had a plan for Fossil Island all the way back in 2006. I knew about the barge, and I knew it was going to go somewhere eventually, but as time went on, I thought that Jagex just didn't have a plan for it yet. Hopefully this video will remind people about the boss, and finally get Jagex to make it.
How does this comment exist?
Interesting I had no idea about that either was surprised they thought of fossil Island so long ago
@@KrazyKilika I'm a time traveler 😉
@@KrazyKilikathe video was probably released to member’s only a few hours ago. They have a channel membership, it’s like patreon kind of. They have early access
They should do this instead of sailing lmao
Fossil Island is one of the areas that really oozes passion and has well thought out activities to enjoy. And even then I've said to myself "Man I wish there was more here"
I totally feel that, it’s such a well done area :)
In RS3 after doing the Rag and Bone Man quests you get access to a weekly boss battle against a skeletal monster that loses limbs as you deal damage, lowering its power with each lost limb. Once it loses a limb you need to grab it from the ground and bury it to prevent reattachment. If you beat it you get a decent chunk of slayer and prayer xp, and it can drop clue scrolls and, if you're really lucky, the skeletal champion challenge scroll.
Yeah, as an RS3 player, this video doubles as a history lesson as to how we got Fur n' Seek/the Skeletal Horror and, almost a full decade later, Anachronia.
Really hope that OSRS gets their own version of them someday. I know they got Fossil Island instead, but it's just not the same.
Funny how Jagex's less beloved game is given a cool idea like this that was promised for oldschool..the MORE popular game...Sigh
@@erickchristensen746rs3 is more popular… your game is full of bots and alts bro.
You have about 40% of the real player base of rs3
@@ducksquidbat8315Partially true, but as someone who plays both I feel that the OSRS community is much more engaged than the one in RS3.
@@ducksquidbat8315 If we were talking about total accounts then yeah. But only a small fraction of those bots of logged it at any one time, the actual number of players in osrs is still much higher than RS3 and that’s not even taking into account RS3’s bots too.
You should think a bit more rationally rather than taking things at face value.

*AHEM* Daggonoth Kings?
I love the synergy between OSRS and RS3 here. OSRS has it as Fossil Island, as it's the Island found in the current time, and it's about how the island thrives after all this time. In RS3 it's a twist in that the island is Anachronia - or Orthen as the Dragonkin called it - and is pulled from the past and sits there following the destruction of the city. Instead of fossils it has living dinosaurs, and features lots of training methods including an agility course that covers the entire island, and Big Game Hunter which is a Hunter minigame that is honestly a lot of fun.
Well said. I’ve never seen it in that light before. 👍🏽
Me as an osrs player: wait wtf there's dinosaurs in rs3
@@Elit3Blaze If you'll allow me to be a pedantic asshole: Dinosaurs have been in Runescape longer than iron pickaxes have been in the game. Naturally I'm talking about the most iconic and well known dinosaur, the chicken.
@@Dr_Andracca 🤓🤓🤓
@@Elit3Blaze To sum up the lore: Anachronia had dinosaurs on it when the Dragonkin settled there. Kerapac - a well known Dactyl Dragonkin who wants to break the Stone of Jas curse - ends up with a elder god artifact that lets him affect time and he pulls the island back from the past so that he can have his old laboratory again.
Shoutout to the one barge worker who spent several years hammering the same nail just to make damn sure it was all the way in.
The name "Fossil Island" always felt too on-the-nose or silly to me. It always made the place feel like a big joke even if there are quite a few cool things there.
I totally feel that, I wish they went with a different name for the final design
Damn, a boss you have to build yourself is such a cool idea. I hope this gets added at some point.
Fossil Island is the reason I came to Old School and got back into runescape. To this day its still my favorite place to just hang out at and do stuff. Thank you Mod Maz!
It would be cool if you could clean the fossils and obtain different parts, where there are 10 parts in total and you need to use 5 different fossils together to make a boss that has mechanics based on which parts were used
Hope some interested mods might work something out in their game jam time. This would bring back lots of hype and hopefully a greenlight poll.
crying and throwing up right now i just want fossil boss
That full Fossil Island shot at the start of the video is dope. Love seeing the classic OSRS maps in new contexts
Any chance you could share how you have the old skeleton models shown @ 3:10? All of the super oldschool monster designs are awesome.
Tbh I hopped on and immediately did the "Tower of Life" quest when it was released because the idea of constructing creatures to battle got me sooooo pumped... was really annoyed when I realized, I didn't have anything to do with the customization of the monster. -_-
This makes me hope the Occeus boss game jam gets moved to full content release so that Maz can finally get the skeleton boss realized
That explains why the fossil displays never amounted to much more than displays
Would love to see this boss finally implemented! The more content the better!!
This was a great video never knew about the fossil island boss before watching and now knowing about kinda sad it isn’t a thing in OSRS especially since I feel like it would also add additional incentive for players to kill ancient wyverns for rare fossil drops
I don't play anymore but I was really bummed out that we didn't at least get a wyvern boss. Even it was just a demi-boss like Sarachnis.
Fossil island wyverns always put a scowl on my face for slayer.
If you haven't talked about it already, do you know anything about if they'll ever finish the Fairytale quest series? The mob boss fairy has been in control for years now
Hopefully, we'll have the Bossil some day.
I have a request: I've tried to find the origins of NHing PKing as we see it today (overheads, tribrid setup), like any big name RUclipsrs from back in the day. I can't seem to find anything. Why NHing suddenly became so popular is also a mystery. Can you do a deep dive on that? (i.e. how did NHing as we see it today emerge?).
i would love to hear about that
Always love your content! Good job
Thank you!! :D
Give out agility XP lamps for the rare fossils and all will be forgiven
As somebody who played RuneScape back in the day before eventually moving on, this channel is really interesting to say the least. Still not keen to return though, as I really played it for almost a decade and a half with virtually no breaks in between, hence why I’m so burned out still.
Anachronia on RS3 even has multiple bosses
It's a great day when Colonello blesses us with more Runescape history. I appreciate you, King.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching :)
they really should add a quest for a new boss for fossil island. do like 3 different ones (one for each combat style) make it not late late game but mid late.
Not only does runescape 3 have fossil island, they actually have a boss there too, and a weird ass hunter method where you gotta kill dinosaurs.
Big Game Hunter is really fun though
Anyone know how he managed to get the footage of the old textures for zombies and ghosts? I would love them in my game hehe
Unfortunately there's no way to make your game look that way, I really wish there was. I gathered all the footage by using an old cache version on osrs.world/
@@ColonelloRS thank you so so much for your reply
@@ColonelloRSwould be awesome if someone made a model override mod mind on runelite :?
@@jasoncook1886I think there might be a plugin request subreddit or something to that effect! It’d be worth a look, ‘cos I like the idea too! :D
Omg I was so jaded with the kudos system. I remember giving up on making more progress on that! But like, not wtih regret, just with disgust!
PleAse haves the idea of creating different versions of the same boss depending on what parts you attach and that could affect what unique it could put out
BRING IT BACK Fossil Island and Lithkrin or whatever it’s called expansion DS3 and the Fossil Boss
And they are now making a new continent instead of finishing this thing ffs. And it doesn't need polling cause it already passed years ago...
Wow the throwback. RIP White cat 22 that clip hurt my soul to watch on release
i hope this is just a promo for it coming to the game so fossils actually get a use plz ty
Unfortunately I have no insider news on if it'll ever happen. But hopefully one day!
Very interesting how Andrew Gower took the fossil building idea himself over to "Brighter Shores".
Anachronia (Fossil Island) on RS3 hit's different.
2:41 i feel you on the RC, LOL!
I am all the sudden so incredibly disappointed in the fossil island we got compared to what it could have been
if Varlamore is not this, and doesnt have a boss with worth while uniques and new slayer creatures and training spots, its going to be Zeah 2.0 on release.
should ask maz to come back and complete it with the team.
That actually explains really well why every rare fossil cleans into such an obvious piece of one giant skeleton
I don't know the full extent about what was promised for the fossil island boss but from what you said it straight up sounds ambitious from the get go as too good to be true, almost all games that promise a update thats super complex and unique and cool sounding almost always either cancel it or provide something thats a embarassing attempt at it. It really is unfortunate that they did a silent discontinue and it kept the hype for way too long. I agree with them on "the players would be massively disappointed if we do anything thats not what the original idea was" maybe they could find something to do with the rare fossil but it probably would be best its not something thats supposed to be a replacement like a boss if they are gonna not add the original idea. The safest thing would probably be increase the prayer gain on it by a lot. Just my take atleast.
even RS3 has Anachronia
I don't want this because grinding fossils for a boss seems like a huge hassle. We shouldn't mix training with bossing like this
Now how is it I click on this video 34 seconds after it comes out and there’s already a comment from 2 hours ago?
??????
How do you think this happened?

I'm a time traveler shhhh. You're going to expose me!
something ive been wondering for a while as a huge fan of dovydas (a friend)
how come nobody in the creator community talks about him these days? he was at one time the most subscribed runescape channel on youtube. these days it feels like osrs content creators pretend he doesnt exist, so it was genuinely shocking to see him (almost) mentioned in this video. i genuinely cant remember the last time i heard someone mention him. and even more strange, dovy never mentions anyone else either. is it him being antisocial, or does this community shun him for the somewhat questionable choices he has made in the past? it kinda makes me sad to think about, because if it wasnt for him, i would have quite literally never played old school runescape, and therefor would not even be a fan of runescape content to this day. maybe im overthinking it. whats your take nello?
Its just cause he mostly does his own thing, similar to sparc mac. But b0aty and other people mention him occasionally and no one really dislikes him
*"somewhat questionable"* this is why his fans deserve each other if they can still watch him after what he did to them. Just be glad A Friend isn't as bad as ReturnofWilderness (yet). Or maybe he has gotten worse, I don't know because I refuse to engage with his content.
Some of my old clan mates got to meet Maz in person at Jagex HQ. Maz was my clans jmod contact back in RS3 after we were invited to Jagex to compete in Jcup finals on stream at LAN. She used to idle in our cc and talk once in a while on her jmod account. I was very sad to hear when she did finally leave Jagex.
You forgot to mention she referred to herself as the Queen of Squirrels on the forums.
i would love this idea to become a reality
PS2 graphics is a bit generous
Ikr? The ps2 had games like SoTC which still look pretty decent by today's standards
Great vid 'nello I hope we can slay a dinosaur together one day
I don't know if I would call it lazy, more like very ambitious. They seem to be rolling out updates hot and fast.
Skilling island needs more love
God I missed dungeonering honestly why I like gauntlet so much reminds me of that skill
Could make it drop an item that infuses the 3 dfs’s together
I’m one of those people stuck with a bunch of rare fossils 😂
rs3 started working on anachronia before osrs started anything on fossil island
I have never known one person to ever play raid shadow legends...
i miss Mod Maz. she got a lot of undeserved hate from the community but she had a real sense of what Runescape should be, not just EHP
Not undeserved, fossil island was a huge letdown.
@@rodericblack4657 how? Birdhouses, seaweed farming, volcanic mine, sulliceps and herbiboar are all great content thats used all the time
@@ShortdoodIn the comparison, what was promised was far greater than what was delivered. I love Fossil Island and I'm there almost every time I log on for a variety of reasons, but after seeing what might have been I can understand why some feel it was underwhelming.
new way of training every skill was never going to happen though, the initial idea was not realistic@@icedo1013
@@icedo1013 tht doesn't deserve hate tho.. she must have really tried.
There is a boss similar where you put full blood torva and vls on the warrior armory animate stand and give it bowfa and Virtus to it's a complete Monster
Dope! I hope they add the boss
oh yeah i remember when the crazy archelogist beat AFK cat22
"Player's need to show great interest in it" yet we have been showing great interest in it for the last 7 years now and nothing has come of it. lol
Also RS3 has a sort of fossil skelly boss now but orsrs has zilch.
Funny how Jagex's less beloved game is given a cool idea like this that was promised for oldschool..the MORE popular game...Sigh
Wait so the boss is vorkath?
I WANT BUILD-A-BOSS WORKSHOP!!!!
7:17 nothing in osrs is polled before its worked on. Anythimg polled has already had extensive work before it reaches its first poll.
Not always :) Sometimes its just a design document
Is that handsome Squidward in the thumbnail
LMAOOO
@@ColonelloRS really slick design 😅😋
reminded me of eekum bokum
Wow cant believe ive been playing this beloved game for over 15 year... Long live runescape #LLR
I see a Colonello video and I drop everything to watch it ❤
That makes me so happy to hear haha, that’s for watching!
Can you make a video about mark donalds and mod mark doing a bunch of weird shit
OSRS Fossil Island is RS3 Anachronia. There is some dialogue in some RS3 Quests that reference Anachronia used to be called Fossil island. Just some interesting nothinglore.
Dawg, I need to Dharok bomb a T-rex...
BULLY THEM INTO MAKING THE BOSS COLON
10:50 BZZT WRONG!! Creature Creation at the Tower of Life!!!1!! Fighting Frogeels is the most intense PvM in OSRS, bar none.
I found a picture of maz after googling for like 30 seconds lol
MOM WAKE UP COLONELLO JUST DROPPED 🗣️🗣️🗣️
As formerly ranked 3 Deranged Archaeologist I highly DISAGREE this boss can one shot you that’s something Crazy Archaeologist can’t do.
Played from classic till PRE-Eoc was a great time, did take a huge 5year break before playing osrs, and now its just either 1 of the 2 things.
-Im getting to old for runescape
Or
-the game just sucks soo bad these days.
Fossil island is just too small to house all that lore
Should be twice as big
I'm still so mad about this
Wow this disappointed me I think that would’ve been sick
Sailing boss using rare fossils!
I never heard the name Kudos island, I remember players always calling it Fossil Island because Jagex themself had been calling it that way before 2012 either by that name or describing it as an island full of fossils. I remember it being an idea since the day I started playing in 2004 or whenever the digsite quest/area came to be (looked it up, 2003). Either in those postbag articles or something. I'd try to go back to read those but I'm way too lazy to do that big of a deep dive. I just remember other players talking about fossil island since day one of me playing.
I actually remember it bring called Kudos Island. When it was mentioned it unlocked a bunch of Runescape memories lol.
@@william4996 I do too It was always Kudos Island and i only ever heard Fossil Island a looong time later when it came out in osrs
Make boss wtf
i saved up thousands and thousands of fossils for this, such a shame
Didn't Mod Shauny do an interview on his channel with Maz that showed her face?
She did do an interview with Shauny, but there was no webcam. She has a phobia of cameras.
Ash blocked me over this
Zeah will forever be a major failure in my eyes.
Like todays sponsor raid... *skips forward 12 times* ahh yes, back to my video.
kudos island looks more like a south-america knock off
At this point, whatever the boss will be, it's gonna be a letdown, too many years too much hype, it won't live up to the expectations
I feel like this video casually mixes RS2 with OSRS like they're part of the same timeline and that this content doesn't already exist in some form in RS3 .. I'm so confused
If only there was some system in place in-game that the mods could use to gauge interest. Poll our interest in the Fossil Boss you cowards :'(
Make an item like spoils of war from soul wars, survival rations,problem solved
When the fuck did varrock look like that? Eh
THE BARGE
Meanwhile I still save my rare fossils
Alternatively, if the team doesn't have the time to make it, they could make some of the code public and ask for community developers to design it, even run a contest for player-made content.
Rs3's Fossil Island (Anachronia) is sick. I really wish osrs devs adapt something like big game hunter, i have over 5k kc and it's the most fun i have in the whole game
Rs3 trash.
