What is a Clue Scroll (Elite)?
The Clue Scroll (Elite) is a treasure hunt item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that leads players on an adventurous quest to uncover rare and valuable rewards. As the name suggests, this scroll is classified as an elite tier clue scroll, which means it is among the most challenging and rewarding types of clue scrolls you can obtain in the game.
Players can find elite clue scrolls through a variety of activities, such as:
- Killing specific monsters (e.g., Sergeant Toughs in the Wilderness)
- Opening treasure chests
- Completing certain quests
- Receiving them as rewards from various mini-games
To progress through an elite clue scroll, players must decipher clues that often lead them to particular locations or require them to complete specific tasks, which can vary significantly in difficulty.
