This quest was just painful. I know I’m like 7 years late to the party here (only recently getting into OSRS and aiming for a quest cape) but this is the kind of horrid design that you just have to vent about. Kurks dungeon is a giant middle finger to the player, being rather long, tedious, and repetitive. It’s a slog filled with an unholy amount of forced trial and error. I think I legit failed EVERY path I took when doing the second section and had to slog my way back around to attempt again. I wasn’t timing it or anything, but I think it took me an HOUR to complete the dungeon. One run, no banking, RuneLite quest helper on. And I thought “surely that must be the worst of it… right?” NOPE! In enters the monkey platform stealth section, one of the worst gameplay experiences of all time. A long, confusing, drawn out section of the quest where you’re brutally punished for your mistakes with no checkpoints. Misjudged the timing slightly? Back to the beginning! I have never yelled in frustration from a RuneScape quest, both from OSRS and from a quest cape account in RS3, this section broke that. The RuneLite quest helper did not help here at all, in fact I think it hindered me at a few points because it was unclear what some of the markers meant. Combat encounters were only really notable because everything punches really hard, and that’s about all they’ve got going on. The rest of the quest was just… bland. Story wasn’t anything great, and the opening of Ape Atoll at the end felt forced. 0/10 all around, worst quest I’ve played in OSRS or RS3. Someone PLEASE tell me this is as bad as it gets. submitted by /u/ZeroWolf_RS
