The Ultimate Boss (Content Suggestion for Zeah)

I think we all know the reason why Jad II failed. It wasn't original at all. But, still, 72% vote means it could still be repolled with changes. I want to suggest those changes.

What is the ultimate thing any player can do, and has done, that will reward them with the most prestige? A spirit shield with sigil on an ironman. Soloing the Corporeal Beast is hard enough, but doing it enough to get these items is enough to say, yes you completed Runescape. What I want to suggest is not just a Fight Caves expansion, but a whole new Fight Cave which, when beaten, will give the same satisfaction as that.

We have a continent that is only 1/3rd finished. It is supposed to eventually be home to the Tasakaal who were said to be relatives to the TzHaar. Their dormant volcano would be the perfect place for a second Fight Cave. A Fight Cave that you wouldn't be allowed to enter unless the gate keeper for the cave saw your fire cape from the TzHaar Fight Cave. Then you would be allowed to enter to fight a 20 wave battle with much stronger enemies than in the TzHaar Fight Cave, ending in the final battle between, not Jad 2. But Jad Senior.

Part of the dialogue between the Tasakaal Fight Cave gate keeper and the player could be about how you got the cape. You would say "I killed Jad" and in response, the gate keeper would laugh hysterically. Player gets mad, mentions the TzHaar. Gate keeper says how that Jad isn't the real Jad, it was just a runt offspring of Jad Sr. the Tasakaal gave to the TzHaar because it was inferior to Jad Sr. Eventually the gate keeper will give the player the right to challenge their Fight Caves.

So after a long fight, the final boss battle is player vs Jad Sr. But hold on. It looks like a love child of Jad and the Corporeal Beast! OSRS's Corporeal Beast has no lore. It was just kinda tossed into the game. So there should be no problem saying that it is a dead Jad ancestor who was killed during the God Wars trying to stop the fighting (The Tasakaal being followers of Guthix after all). So in the end, the ultimate boss battle of OSRS is a fight with a creature that has both Jad and Corp's abilities, including its high HP and healing. This should not be an easy fight. This should not be a Zulrah-type boss where Jagex made a boss too easy and it turned into profit-snaek. This will not be a boss that has an achievement diary entry because then no one will have an achievement cape. This will be a boss that requires skill to kill, like soloing the Corporeal Beast. You will need to be a spawn of Woox to kill this thing. In fact, Jagex would need to employ Woox just to see if it is possible to kill.

Beating Jad Sr. should be all but impossible. The cape reward should be harder to get than the Max Cape. It being BIS should be meaningless because there is almost 0 chance YOU will ever get it. But you can keep trying.

Thoughts?
