Getting Started:

The Memorial to Guthix is a Distraction & Diversion linked with Divination. The Memorial is located in the Piscatoris Hunter Area, South of the Phoenix Lair and the nearby Airuts. When player trains Divination, in any spot except within a Dungeon, they can receive Memory strands.

These strands can be stored in your currency pouch. They are combined with engrams that are scattered over RuneScape to create echoes; these unlock some lore connected with Guthix, give Divination experience, and provide special buffs. It is a Completionist & Master Quest Cape requirement to complete the memorial once and a Trimmed Completionist Cape requirement to complete the memorial three times; this will enable you to have four of the buffs active at once.

Getting Started

The Memorial to Guthix features a brief tutorial which is started by talking to Orla Fairweather, located at the entrance to the memorial site. She will give a brief explanation of the memorial and its uses. She will then give you 80 Memory strands and a Naragi engram. Obtain 500 Pale energy and use it to charge the engram.

If you then return to Orla and talk to her, she will ask you to add the echo to one of the empty plinth. Choose any plinth you like, as there is no difference in where you place each echo. Interact with the echo to learn a little bit about Guthix, then go back to talk to Orla. She will tell you to go and activate the Harmony of Naragun buff at the fountain of energy. This is located at the West end of the memorial. After activating the buff, return to Orla and talk to her to finish the tutorial.

Once the tutorial has been finished, you are able to collect engrams throughout the world and to catch an unlimited amount of chronicle fragments and elder fragments.

Orla

Engrams

There are 12 engrams in total hidden across RuneScape. During the tutorial, Orla gives you the Naragi engram, but any time after this you must locate the engram yourself. Whenever you pick up an engram, a Guthixian butterfly will spawn in the nearby area. If the player catches this butterfly, it gives experience in the player’s lowest skill. Each engram has an associated buff which we will discuss in detail later. Below is a list of all engrams, where they spawn, and what buff they give.

Buffs

With each echo you add to the memorial, you get a lump sum of Divination experience and access to its corresponding buff. You are initially only able to choose one buff at a time. This buff can be changed once a week at the weekly reset, or when you prestige. Each time you prestige, you unlock the ability to have another buff active at a time; up to 4 buffs at prestige 3.

Buffs

You are able to prestige after adding all echoes to plinths; you can do this by interacting with the fountain of energy and selecting prestige. After prestiging, all of your buffs remain active and you are able to select any of them, even if you have not re-collected the echo. After prestiging, you must re-collect all of the engrams from their spawn points if you wish to complete the memorial again. Below is a list of all of the engrams and their buffs.

Rewards:

The main rewards from completing the memorial are the buffs themselves, as well as the lumps of experience gained when handing in echoes. Each time you prestige, up to 5th prestige, the rate at which you collect memory strands goes up. You also unlock a wing cosmetic override for each prestige, up to the 3rd prestige. These change color with each prestige, just as the echoes do. After prestige one, you are also able to hand batches of 1,000 Memory strands into Orla for a Divination boost; roughly the same experience as a medium lamp.

Orla will also give you Memory strands, after the first prestige, if you have hit level milestones in Divination.
