Still, you cannot hop in and expect to partake in the quest without knocking a few things off the list. So, to make sure that you are ready to go, here is a complete list of all prerequisite requirements needed to start RuneScape’s newest quest Ancient Awakening.

As Ancient Awakening is part of the Fort Forinthry questline, you will have to complete the four previous quests in the questline. Fortunately, these quests have rather low requirements, and very little skill requirements, and so even if you are just beginning the questline, it will not take you too long to catch up and end up with the fort of your dreams.
