Old School RuneScape: Major Arena 1 Mini Quest Guide

The Major Arena 1 mini quest in Old School RuneScape offers some of the most rewarding items for PvM enthusiasts. Completing it grants access to god capes, god staves, and the ability to unlock the three god spells, all of which are essential for progressing to Major Arena 2. This guide will walk you through every step, including recommended gear, strategies, and spell unlocking, but if you want to get a head start or save time, you can buy OSRS gold to quickly acquire the supplies and runes needed for a smoother adventure.

Requirements and Preparations

There are no quest requirements to start Major Arena 1, but you will need at least 60 Magic to cast your spells effectively. While not required, 37 Prayer is highly recommended to use Protect from Magic, which will greatly reduce incoming damage during arena battles.

For items, start with a knife or cheap slashing weapon, but most of your gear and supplies can be banked in a safe area before entering the arena. Since the mini quest takes place in the deep Wilderness, it’s wise to use budget gear that you don’t mind losing, alongside blighted supplies such as blighted super restores and food, which are cheaper than their regular equivalents and only usable in the Wilderness.

Recommended gear includes:

· Budget magic armor: Zerkanans, Splitbark, or monk robes for cost efficiency

· Amulet: Amulet of Glory or Amulet of Magic

· Staff: Air staff for standard spells and god staves for unlocking god spells

· Runes: Enough for 150 casts of your best standard combat spell; if unlocking all three god spells, bring roughly 600 Blood, 700 Fire, and 900 Air runes

· Supplies: 15 blighted super restores and 30–40 high-healing foods (e.g., Coram brands or Manta rays)

Ironmen without access to blighted supplies can substitute regular prayer potions and standard high-healing food. If your Prayer level is below 37, carry extra food—around 50 pieces—to survive the arena battles.

Starting the Mini Quest

Begin in Edgeville with your knife. Head south and pull the Wilderness lever on the western wall to teleport into the high-level Wilderness. Run north, slash the web blocking your path, and continue west toward the Mage Arena dungeon. Inside the dungeon, slash both webs to reach a lever that teleports you to an underground safe space with a bank chest. This is where you can gear up with your magic setup and supplies.

Set your combat spell to autocast, then locate and talk to Collodon. Choose the dialogue options: "Can I fight here?" → "Yes indeedy" → "Okay, let's fight." You will be teleported to the arena to fight Collodon, who has five forms:

· Human form – 3 HP

· Ogre form – 65 HP

· Spider form – 78 HP

· Ghost form – 78 HP

· Black demon – 107 HP

All forms attack with magic, so activate Protect from Magic. Use prayer potions or blighted super restores as needed. Defeating all five forms completes the initial arena fight.

Claiming God Capes and Staves

After defeating Collodon, step into the sparkling pool to teleport to a chamber with three statues: Saradomin, Guthix, and Zamorak. Pray at each statue to receive the corresponding cape. Ensure you have three empty inventory slots before speaking to the chamber guardian to receive your first god staff. Purchase the remaining two for 80k coins each, totaling 160k coins.

Unlocking the God Spells

To unlock the god spells, you must cast each spell 100 times in the arena. This includes:

· Saradomin Strike

· Claws of Guthix

· Flames of Zamorak

Return to the arena using the lever system, equip the corresponding staff, and manually cast the spell 100 times. Use Protect from Magic to avoid damage, and note that even splashes count toward the 100 casts. After completing all three, return to the safe room and bank your staffs.

Conclusion

Once all god spells are unlocked, Major Arena 1 is complete, and you are ready for Major Arena 2. By following this guide, you minimize risk while efficiently gathering god capes, staves, and spells, making it a reliable method for earning rewards and cheap OSRS gold, ensuring your Wilderness adventure is both safe and productive.
