Guthix (Memorial to Guthix) chathead.png

Memorial to Guthix is a Divination Distraction and Diversion revolving around the late god Guthix. The main objective is to find engrams scattered all around Gielinor and to charge them by using divine energy and memory strands found while training Divination. These charged engrams can then be used to create echoes which can be placed in the temple to unlock passive benefits, grant Divination experience, and reveal lore about Guthix's life on Gielinor.

Completing the set of echoes once is a requirement for the completionist cape and the master quest cape. Unlocking the ability to activate five buffs at once by prestiging three times is a requirement for the trimmed completionist cape.

Below the pool at the Memorial to Guthix, players with at least level 70 Divination can access the Hall of Memories.

Location[edit | edit source]

The memorial site is located in the Piscatoris Hunter area, just north of the ferrets and Nickolaus's camp and just south of the Phoenix Lair and the Airut. Players can teleport directly to the shrine through the use of memory strands, Sixth-Age circuit, or a charged engram.

The Memorial to Guthix can also be reached by teleporting to the Eagles' Peak lodestone and travelling north-west.

Tutorial[edit | edit source]

The tutorial can be started by talking to Orla Fairweather, standing directly by the entrance of the memorial site, who explains about the site and its function. The following steps are required to complete the tutorial:

  1. Talk to Orla Fairweather. She gives 80 memory strands and a Naragi engram.
  2. Charge the engram (check the orb and click through the option) with 500 pale energy and return to Orla.
  3. She will take the engram from you and add it to the pool of energy. She says you should assign that echo to one of the plinths surrounding the pool.
  4. Around the pool behind her are 12 plinths. 'Check' an echo plinth. You need to add the echo to one of the empty plinths.
  5. After you have added the echo re-check the same plinth. Interact with the echo and return to Orla.
  6. Orla will tell you to interact with a butterfly statue. At one end of the pool is a statue of butterfly wings. Investigate it.
  7. Activate the Harmony of Naragun buff at the fountain of energy by selecting one passive effect. The statue will change.
  8. Return to Orla once more.

Completing the tutorial grants the ability to collect engrams and catch an unlimited number of chronicle fragments and elder chronicles.

Engrams[edit | edit source]

Each time an engram is picked up, a Guthixian butterfly will appear, granting experience in a player's lowest skill when caught. Butterflies only last a short time before they disappear. This will only happen the first time an engram is picked up during each prestige; players cannot pick up and destroy engrams to continuously spawn Guthixian butterflies.

Locations and buffs[edit | edit source]

Charging[edit | edit source]

To charge an engram, click it to "check" it, and follow the dialogue.

The following table lists the number of strands and the number and type of energy required to charge each engram at each of the prestige levels. Energies are tradeable and can be purchased, so the level required to gather them is not needed. After prestige 3, the amount of energy and number of strands required stays the same.

It is possible for players, including ironmen, to boost their Divination level using temporary skill boosts such as divination potions to gather the energy for and charge an engram.

Benefits[edit | edit source]

A completed memorial after one prestige.

Upon handing in a charged engram players gain up to 68,769 Divination experience (at level 99). Handing each engram for the first time unlocks one of 12 echoes and its corresponding buff.

Initially, players are able to activate only one buff at a time. This can be increased to up to five through the prestige mechanic. Selected buffs are locked until the weekly reset but can be unlocked by adding an echo for the first time, rising up in prestige or spending 1,000 memory strands through the "Unlock-selection" option. Although it is not clearly stated in-game, only adding an echo for the first time will unlock the selection.

Echo Benefit Description
Naragi Harmony of Naragun Guthixian butterflies will spawn instead of chronicle fragments. This does not affect elder chronicles or uncaught fragments spawned by other players.
Elder Sword Time-worn Memories The experience from converting memories inside Daemonheim is quadrupled.
Sword of Edicts Decree of Mortality Checking Hunting traps has a chance to yield Memory Shards. Memory shards can be transmuted into Divine energy products.
Guardians of Guthix Guardian of Life Planting seeds has a chance to yield Memory Shards. Memory shards can be transmuted into Divine energy products.
World Gate Ethereal Connection Boosts a spring's duration by 30 seconds, one time per spring.[a 1]
Druid Shared Knowledge Divine locations will grant 125% experience but yield no items.
Balance Elemental Abyssal Transit Chronicles will contribute twice as much power when empowering a crater.
Sheep Wisp Herder Converting memories has a small chance to spawn an additional wisp.
Time Sempiternal Souvenirs Pickpocketing now has a chance to yield Memory Shards. Memory shards can be transmuted into Divine energy products.
Fairy Fairy Fire Fire spirits from firemaking are upgraded to divine fire spirits, granting Divination experience, divine energy, and divine energy products.
Gnome Argento's Kindness Divine eggs may appear instead of bird's nests while woodcutting, granting Divination experience, divine energy, and divine energy products.[a 2]
Stone of Jas Stored Power The benefits from fully completing a Guthixian Cache will be bottled for later use.
  1. ^ This does not stack with the Divination cape's perk.
  2. ^ This disables the chance of getting fragments for the Imcando hatchet.

Prestige[edit | edit source]

After adding all echoes, players can reset their progress by right clicking the fountain of energy and selecting prestige, rising up in prestige, and removing all collected echoes from the plinths in the process. All the buffs remain unlocked at the fountain of energy even after the player has reset their progress; any buffs active at the time of prestige will remain active. To further increase prestige, all engrams must be re-obtained from their hiding places and charged again.

Rising up in prestige progressively allows the player to activate more buffs at a time. A player may only have up to five buffs active at once even if they continue to prestige past the third prestige.

Prestige Number of bonus or passive effects
After charging first engram 1
1 2
2 3
3+ 4
3+, with bonus from Hall of Memories 5 [b 1]
  1. ^ Recovering data for the Memory-storage bot (Aagi) in the Hall of Memories will allow for an additional bonus or passive effect to be active (up to five).

Prestige also increases the rate at which memory strands are found, capping at five prestige cycles and stacking with the Seren buff from the Hall of Memories (see Memory strand § Gathering for more details).

Players also unlock echo wings overrides: glowing, lustrous, and incandescent for the first, second, and third prestiges.

After the first prestige, players may give extra memory strands to Orla Fairweather in batches of 1,000 for the Divination experience equivalent to a medium experience lamp. In addition, the teleport option for memory strands and charged engrams will teleport the player directly to the butterfly statue instead of outside the memorial entrance.

After completing the distraction and diversion for the first time, Orla will reward the player with 1,000 memory strands. Additionally, 1,000 can be claimed after reaching level 99 in Divination, another 1,000 after reaching virtual level 120, and the final 1,000 after reaching 200,000,000 Divination experience, adding up to a total of 4,000 memory strands. All available rewards are claimed at once.

Maximising experience[edit | edit source]

Players wanting to achieve the most experience per memory strand should continue to prestige rather than turning in extra memory strands for experience. Doing so will cost the player the same amounts of energies and strands as the third prestige, but gives more than 11 times the amount of experience, at the cost of extra energies and a few minutes to collect engrams. At level 99 Divination, charging and handing in all twelve engrams will grant about 825,228 experience, using 4,104 strands in the process. By comparison, turning in 4,104 strands directly to Orla would result in about 72,822 experience only.

Each Prestige gives another 40,512 experience.
