- Removed a safe spot from Zemouregal's bone spikes attack during the Battle of Forinthry.
- The new Sirenic and Dracolich set effects now work in PvP.
- The contents of a Deathwarden Nexus are now visible after death.
- A typo in the Dracolich armour tooltip has been removed.
- Zemouregal's voice lines during the Battle of Forinthry have been trimmed down. He will now shout at you less!

- Undead dragon, Dracolich, and Elite Dracolich armour pieces now have unique weights.
- The Ancient Awakening cutscene progresses without interruption while the player is wearing the Ring of Death.
- Laniakea's special task can now be cancelled using Slayer points, just like all the other special tasks.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Deathwarden armor set tier 50 and 60 to stretch while the rock climbing animation is played.
- Stretching does not occur when equipping the Skull Lantern with the 20th Anniversary Cape override.
- The stretching of the Augmented Skull Lantern doesn't occur on any obstacle on the Prifddinas Agility Course.
- The Christmas Warsuit is now displayed correctly.

- Highlighted items will now set and unset correctly on the Toolbelt.
- Blocking has been added to the rocks northwest of Senntisten's entrance, preventing you from walking through terrain textures.

- Using Sunshine and Death's Swiftness with the Planted Feet perk active will now last 37.8 seconds, to match Greater Sunshine and Greater Death's Swiftness respectively.
- Greater Sunshine and Greater Death's Swiftness have had their tooltip amended to more accurately display how long the abilities are active.
