OSRS Hallowed Sepulchre Changes 2026: Lowered Requirements, Boosting & New Grand Coffin
The August 12 2026 update lowered Hallowed Sepulchre Floor 4 entry to 77 Agility (down from 82), Floor 5 to 87 (down from 92), and now allows skill boosting for floor entry. The Floor 5 Grand Coffin can be opened with 84 Thieving or 92 Agility. The Colossal Wyrm Agility course also received duration and XP adjustments.
Key takeaways
- Floor 4 entry requirement lowered from 82 to 77 Agility — now accessible 5 levels earlier.
- Floor 5 entry requirement lowered from 92 to 87 Agility, and boosting is now allowed for both floors.
- Grand Coffin on Floor 5 can be opened with 84 Thieving OR 92 Agility — boosting works for both.
- Colossal Wyrm course duration increased by 25-40% with proportional XP buffs for lower-intensity training.
New Floor Entry Requirements: What Changed
The Hallowed Sepulchre has been one of the most rewarding Agility training methods since its release, but its high floor requirements locked many players out of the best XP rates. The Aug 12 update changes this dramatically. Floor 4 now requires 77 Agility instead of 82, and Floor 5 now requires 87 instead of 92. These are significant reductions that open the Sepulchre's best content to a much wider range of players.
Perhaps more importantly, you can now use skill boosts to meet floor entry requirements. A player at 72 Agility can eat a Summer pie at the end of Floor 3 to boost to 77 and gain entry to Floor 4. This makes the progression path much more flexible and rewards smart preparation.
Grand Coffin: New Thieving Alternative
The Floor 5 Grand Coffin, which rewards the highly coveted Ring of Endurance, now has an alternative unlock method. Instead of requiring 92 Agility, you can open it with 84 Thieving. This is a massive change for players who prefer Thieving training or have higher Thieving than Agility levels.
Boosting can be used for both requirements. A player at 79 Thieving can use a spicy stew or other Thieving boost to reach 84, or a player at 87 Agility can boost to 92. This flexibility makes the Ring of Endurance significantly more accessible.
Colossal Wyrm Agility Course Adjustments
The Colossal Wyrm Agility course on Wyrmscraig also received adjustments. The basic course duration increased by roughly 25%, and the advanced course by roughly 40%. However, XP, Bone shards, and Termite rates were increased proportionally to keep XP/hr and resources/hr the same.
The net effect is that the course now requires fewer inputs per hour — meaning it is a lower-intensity training method at the same XP rate. This makes the Colossal Wyrm course a more attractive option for players who want competitive Agility XP without the high focus required by the Sepulchre or rooftop courses.
Additional Agility Improvements
Beyond the Sepulchre changes, the update also added quality-of-life improvements for Agility. The Zaryte crossbow is now recognized as suitable for crossbow Agility shortcuts, making it easier to use this BiS weapon for traversal. The fence around the Clock Tower was also slightly opened up, allowing players to pass through a new gap.
For players working on the Colossal Wyrm course, the reduced intensity combined with maintained XP rates makes this a strong alternative to the Sepulchre for players at lower Agility levels or those who prefer a more relaxed training experience.
