Contract of glyphic attenuation is a contract used to challenge Yama to a more difficult fight for the bottom 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, the final blow must come from special attacks. The drop rate will 5x while the yellow 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 glyphic attenuation, the following changes apply:

  • Yama's health is increased to 2875.
  • Yama's defence bonuses are now +80 crush defence and +666 for all others.
  • Glyphs protect players for 3 ticks instead of 10.
  • Players take 3x more damage when absorbing a Glyph of Fire.
  • Prayer points are drained 3x more when absorbing a Glyph of Shadow.
  • Damage dealt can be increased with a higher prayer bonus.
  • Prayer bonuses now affect drain rate inversely (i.e. drains faster instead of slower)
  • While not stated, the effects of enhanced ruby and diamond bolts (both in their adamantite and dragon variants) will have their effects disabled for the duration of the contract.

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 before 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
11 June 2025
(Update)

The effects of the enchanted ruby and diamond bolts no longer trigger during this contract in order to enforce the intended melee-only strategy.

29 May 2025
(Update)
  • The Grand Exchange buy limit was increased from 5 to 50.
  • Yama's health for the contract has been decreased from 3,500 to 2,875.
  • Phase transition thresholds have been changed to trigger at 75% and 50% health instead.
  • Damage increases from higher prayer bonuses for the contract have been increased to make the damage bonus larger at higher thresholds.
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.
