What's your most hated quest and why?

[Illya x Kuro]

Mine might sound dumb, but I HATE sheep herder!! Those stupid sheep just refuse to cooperate at all, and it frustrates me to no end!

[Puddy37]

Do No Evil was dreadful. So many items to lug around...back and forth from ape atoll to the desert...annoyingly long...I could complain for days about that chimp ice or looking for the crates in the desert. At least the fights were a walk in the park!

[Savage Hakai]

The quest I hate most is which ever one I’m doing next

[Psyclxne]

I remember being stuck on regicide for actually 3 months because i fell into a trap hole and couldn't find the exit. I also was to young at the time to look up tutorials on youtube so i just logged in everyday looking for an escape and then logging off LOL. One day i got it

[Ancity]

BACK TO THE FREEZER! I want to rage quit lol I have looked at several guides and watched videos.. doesn't make this puzzle easier.

All that effort and time to get told you’ll never be important enough to eat the cake.

Elemental Workshop 2 - I stopped questing for months after that quest and never went back to finish the quest series after the 2nd one. Made my head hurt doing it.

One small favor

 

Only because I done it day of release and was trying to help fill in the quest quide on the rs forums at the time 

I had already the wiki as a guide, but for me this quest was the most annoying. At first I thought: this isn't so bad as everybody said... Until I had to make the whole journey back... that damn weather chicken on the rooftop

the one where you have to play tower defense at the archeology shrine thing, 30 minutes of just standing there waiting for it to be over

I spent all 30 minutes fantasizing about quitting Runescape

I love a good tower defense game but that quest was so painful for no reason other than speed and scope. 

 

It was so slow, and the last wave especially relied on trusting that your idiots on the other side of the map were actually doing what you needed them to. 

[Beast Ball]

One small favor was my most hated quest but with lodestones it made it 100% easier. Now I would say its sliskes endgame ONLY because of the puzzle

I am still traumatised by Monkey Madness, then again I was a young kid, so maybe that's why

[JimInSales]

I don't remember the quest name, but you're sneaking around and there's a werewolf on your team. There's a section with like a nearly invisible cloud of black smoke that restarts the sneaking session if you touch it. That quest had me furious. Also Elemental Workshop III was horrible. Generally anything with a slide puzzle or a cryptic number puzzle is garbage tier.

[ThisGuyyy532]

Garden of Tranquility or Darkness of Hallowvale. Both quests are outdated and take way longer than they should in my opinion. I love the vampyre quest line, but that one is just so much back and forth and it takes forever. It's not good quest design when it's faster to go back somewhere by getting caught by the enemy. 

[SC19]

Any quest that involves stealth. Stealth and RS do not go well together.

Dam me too! hate that you gotta do it if you wanna use dragon scimmy for early game.  

[F1reCAD]

Rat Catchers for sure!
