Tempoross
Tempoross
Tempoross is a powerful spirit that governs the waters surrounding the islands of Great Kourend. He is known for his connection to the sea and mastery over fishing and its elements. As a non-player character (NPC) in Old School RuneScape, Tempoross is primarily associated with a unique activity in which players can engage to fish and gain resources in a new twist on the fishing skill.
Location
Tempoross can be found in the waters west of Hosidius, specifically on a small island accessible via a rowboat located at a dock south of the first fishing spot in Hosidius. This area features a serene beach environment with occasional waves crashing on the shore, setting the tone for the fishing activity.
Activity Overview
The Tempoross activity is a cooperative minigame created for both solo and group play, where players work together to fill pools with energy and defeat the Tempoross spirit. The aim is to calm the spirit by fishing and managing the water while avoiding hazards that arise during the encounter. Players will need to use various fishing rods, bait, and techniques to successfully complete this minigame while earning unique rewards.
Rewards
By participating in the Tempoross minigame, players can earn various rewards including:
- Fishing experience: Players will gain Fishing experience based on their performance during the minigame.
- Unique Items: Players have a chance to earn items like the Tempoross outfit, which consists of a fishing hat, top, bottom, and boots that can boost their fishing efficiency when worn.
- Spirit flakes: A currency earned by successfully completing challenges within the activity, which can be exchanged for rewards at Tempoross’s shop.
- Fishing supplies: As players interact with the activity, they may receive an assortment of fishing supplies, such as bait and fishing rods.
Mechanics
Tempoross features multiple phases where players must manage resources and complete tasks to weaken his power:
- Players must collect energy by fishing from the water and fill up pools that weaken Tempoross.
- Players face waves and must navigate obstacles, including the occasional appearance of icebergs that disrupt fishing.
- When enough energy is collected, Tempoross can be damaged directly, leading to a phase where players must avoid waves and debris thrown from the spirit.
Strategies
To successfully engage in the Tempoross minigame, players are encouraged to work as a team, prioritizing tasks based on the current phase. Effective communication is key to ensuring that all roles are filled, from fishing to sustaining energy pools, and players should also keep an eye out for environmental hazards that may threaten their progress.
Interaction
Players can speak to Tempoross to start the minigame, and he can provide insight into the mechanics and strategies needed for successful participation. His dialogue often reflects his deep connection to the waters, reminding players of the important balance of the ecosystem.
