Contract of divine severance is a contract used to challenge Yama to a more difficult fight for the right piece of the purifying sigil. It can be dropped by Yama himself through opening dossiers, or via black, greater, and lesser demons in the Chasm of Fire after the player has agreed to Yama's terms by speaking to him after A Kingdom Divided.

To obtain this contract from the demons in the Chasm of Fire, they must be killed with heavy ranged weapons. The drop rate will double while the green sigil is active above their heads. Players can speak to the Disciple of Yama outside the chasm to learn about which sigil is currently active.

The contract is consumed upon starting the fight, although if successful the challenger will receive the contract again as a drop. Yama will not drop standard loot upon completion of this contract.

Contract details

When the player fights Yama after signing the contract of divine severance, the following changes apply:

  • Protection prayers are forcibly turned off after it has been active for two ticks.
  • All of Yama's standard attacks are fully blocked with protection prayers.
  • Void Flares continuously spawn throughout the entire fight with halved health. These void flares count as special attacks for the purpose of determining when Yama uses his next glyph attack (2 standard attacks after a void flare spawn).
  • Void flares will kill an unprotected player if allowed to explode.

Additionally, the following changes also apply for all sigil contracts:

  • Yama must be defeated alone.
  • Yama's attack cycle is accelerated from 8-tick to 7-tick.
  • Yama does two standard attacks after a special attack; glyphs respawn faster.
  • Shadow Waves and Fire Streaks appear more frequently.
  • Special attacks in phase 1 land 1 tick earlier than usual.
  • Phase transition thresholds trigger at 75% and 50% health.
  • The Judge of Yama throws fire bombs every 3 ticks, and throws two per attack.
  • Shadow Waves and Shadow Crashes are more frequent in phase 3.

Changes

Date Changes
4 June 2025
(Update)

Void flares that spawn with reduced health have had their health decreased from 83 to 81.

29 May 2025
(Update)
  • The Grand Exchange buy limit was increased from 5 to 50.
  • Phase transition thresholds have been changed to trigger at 75% and 50% health instead.
24 May 2025
Hotfix

A bug in which the contract was acting as a duo encounter - thus doubling the health of void flares in phase 3 and making the fight impossible to beat - has been fixed.

22 May 2025
(Update)

The text describing the contract's terms were properly added; previously, the terms stated "Further contracts details to be determined later."

Trivia

  • The Morse code written on the item is intended to spell the word "CONTRACT". However, the "A" (.-) is erroneously written as "N" (-.), so it says "CONTRNCT" instead, and this mistake is present in all of Yama's contracts.
