The entrance to the rift.

Tolna's rift is a dungeon that can be accessed after completing A Soul's Bane. It is located east of Varrock, just north-west of the Digsite.

After completing the quest, you can attack the monsters within the dungeon for combat experience. The monsters are noticeably stronger, and don't drop any items, except for the angry giant rat, which drops bones. Players entering the rift will land in a lobby, allowing them to go into any of the rooms at their choosing.

Areas

There are four major areas of the dungeon each consisting of quite strange monsters.

Anger Room

This room contains monsters suitable for level 40s-50s to train on. The room contains angry bears, angry unicorns, angry giant rats, and angry goblins, all of which are level 47 and have 50 hitpoints.

Fear Room

This room contains fear reapers, who are much stronger than their quest version. Fear reapers are level 55, and have 57 hitpoints.

Confusion Room

This room contains confusion beasts. They can no longer poison as they could during the quest. They are level 63, and have 64 hitpoints.

Hopeless Room

At level 71, the hopeless creatures are the strongest monsters in the dungeon. They have 71 hitpoints each.

History

Tolna was a young boy when he left his home in Varrock in search of a more exciting life away from his parents. He travelled north-east of Varrock, but did not make it far. Shortly after leaving his home, Tolna discovered a strange crevice in the woods north-east of the city. As he moved closer to investigate, he fell in, where he would be imprisoned for the next twenty-five years.

Tolna's emotions caused the rift to change. His emotions, which were mostly anger, confusion, fear, and hopelessness, were manifested in the caverns' chambers. Tolna descended further into madness and ultimately lost his humanity. Over time, various creatures fell into the first level of the rift, the anger room, and were transformed into enraged versions of themselves that could only be damaged by special anger weapons.

A few months ago, the rift re-opened, and was discovered by students from the nearby Digsite, some of them having entering the rift but never returned.[1] Tolna's parents Launa and Brana learned about the rift, and Brana went inside to look for Tolna. Launa sent in an adventurer after him, who was able to successfully navigate the rift and confront Tolna at the bottom, who had mutated into a monstrous creature. After defeating him, he returned to normal, and the family was able to reunite once more.

Upon completion of A Soul's Bane, Tolna tells that, while trapped, he could feel an evil power emanating from the area. He believes this is what caused him to go insane and what made the dungeon twist to his emotions. While this may just be an illusion he suffered during his insanity, this disturbingly fits with the presence of the Digsite to the south. The Digsite was once a massive temple complex, part of the mighty Zarosian city of Senntisten. The city was three times bigger than modern-day Varrock and reached as far as Edgeville, another old settlement of the Zarosian Empire.

It was first discovered by the students over at the digsite, a few of which have gone down there, but never returned. They told me about it straight way."
