Dragonwilds Regicide Quest Guide

Regicide is the Scorned Wilderness quest added in Dragonwilds 1.0. It advances the final region of Kuldra's Saga and leads toward the Raid and Kuldra.

Before starting

Complete the main regional story through Umbral Sands and prepare a repaired end-game loadout. Bring food, a second combat range, runes or ammunition, an Adamant Pickaxe for Runite and Luminite, and open inventory slots for new quest items.

Starting Regicide

Use the live Journal and quest marker as the authority for the active objective. Current post-launch walkthroughs place Commander Zilyana in the safe Hub as the raid contact after the Scorned Wilderness entry sequence. The Hub permits building; the Raid area does not.

Before entering the Raid:

1. distinguish The Hub, where building is allowed, from the no-building Raid area;
2. establish storage and repair access in The Hub before a long push;
3. record unfamiliar items before processing or discarding them;
4. follow Journal updates after every group interaction so each co-op player confirms progress.

Regicide raid route

The current-build route is organised around extraction points and Anima puzzles rather than a simple straight boss run:

1. Cross Dragontail Vines, obtain the required elemental power, and activate the pylon that opens the route.
2. Complete both sides of Fragments of Ghornfell, including the Fire and Air objectives, before entering the poison section.
3. Climb through the poison maze and elevator route, defeat the Plague King, and continue past the Abyssal Demon to the next extraction point.
4. In Shattered Stronghold, look for the pale, cracked mineable wall near the broken structures. Defeat the Rat King and use the Earth and Fire interactions to reveal the bridge.
5. Cross Cataclysm Keep, using its platforms, pipes, valves, and lever to reach and power the remaining Anima pylons.
6. After all four final plates are active, enter the reported sequence Air → Water → Earth → Fire to open the way to the final extraction point.
7. Repair, restock, and continue into the Kuldra encounter.

The route descriptions above are corroborated community walkthrough guidance, not an official numbered Jagex objective list. Follow the Journal if a hotfix changes a trigger or reset state.

Kuldra objective

Kuldra's first three phases revolve around obtaining the correct Anima, powering a cannon-linked pylon, loading the Harmonic Resonator, and firing while avoiding Kuldra's attacks. The final phase moves to Kuldra's heart with Heartworms and poison hazards. Use the complete Kuldra boss guide for the phase loop and preparation.

What Regicide unlocks

Officially, Regicide is the Scorned Wilderness quest and connects to the region containing Kuldra. Exact intermediate unlocks and rewards still require verified play. Continue with the Scorned Wilderness guide, then use the Kuldra guide when the Raid opens.

Current reset issue

Jagex's announced 1.0.0.5 patch targets Scorned Wilderness Raid AI not respawning correctly on a second attempt and a death-related respawn skip. If the route behaves differently after a failed or completed run, preserve the save and check the known-issues tracker before trying destructive fixes.
