Uri Molotov is the man who delivers the next part of a Treasure Trail when the player has completed an emote clue. To summon him the player needs to perform a specified emote in the proper location while wearing (or sometimes not wearing) a specified attire. The player must talk to him while still wearing the required attire upon which he will reward them with another clue scroll or casket and utter a seemingly nonsensical phrase, to which the player will always respond with "What?" This phrase has no bearing on the treasure trail.

On hard and master trails, a double agent who looks identical to Uri will appear first and must be killed before Uri will appear. The emote equipment is not required when fighting the agent but will be required to speak to Uri once he appears. It will be required to summon him again, however.

Trivia

General

  • His demeanor parodies the archetypal KGB agents, as Molotov is a Russian name and most Soviets referred to each other as "comrade".
  • Some of the phrases he uses resemble real-world spy codes, historically used to conceal secret information in plain language.
    • Humorously, the player never understands these statements, suggesting that by completing a step of a clue, they may be an unwitting accomplice in a covert operation.
  • Uri appears to be wearing a Ham shirt, a robe, logo and cloak, as well as holding a briefcase. However, whether Uri is involved in the Humans Against Monsters organisation or not is unknown.
  • His examine text is a reference to James Bond and Molotov cocktail.
  • If a player receives their final clue step from Uri and teleports away before clicking through any of his dialogue, he will stay in the same location for a short period of time afterwards before despawning. If a player then immediately starts a second clue scroll which happens to have the same emote clue and Uri is still there, he can be spoken to for the step without the need to summon him again (though the emote must be performed another time).

Phrases

  • "I am the egg man, are you one of the egg men?" is a reference to The Beatles song "I am the Walrus".
  • "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose" is a quote by Captain Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
  • "My magic carpet is full of eels" is a reference to a Monty Python sketch about a poorly translated English-Hungarian phrasebook.
  • "Once, I was a poor man, but then I found a party hat" is a reference to the extremely high price of party hats in RuneScape.
  • "Up in the north, I hear they keep milk in bags rather than buckets" is a reference to Canadian grocers supplying milk in bags.
  • "Want to see me bend a spoon?" is a reference to Israeli illusionist Uri Geller.
  • "In Canifis the men are known for eating much spam" is a reference to the Monty Python sketch "Spam".
  • "Loser says what" is a reference to a known prank, as the player always replies "What?".

Historical

  • "The Ankou's are a lie" is a reference to the game Portal, originally "the cake is a lie".
  • "(Breathing intensifies)" is a reference to a meme.
  • "Brother, do you even lift?" is a reference to a meme.
  • "Don't forget to find the jade monkey" is a reference to a scene from The Simpsons.
  • "Connection lost. Please wait - attempting to reestablish" is a reference to RuneScape itself, when a player loses connection temporarily as Uri's chathead freezes completely upon saying this line.
  • "Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants" is a reference to a notable quote from the television series Archer.
  • "Fancy a holiday? I heard there was a whole other world to the west" refers to the western continent known as Zeah before it was released in 2016.

  • "I once named a duck after a girl. Big mistake, they all hated it" is an allusion to the controversy surrounding the addition of Erin, a duck named after an Old School RuneScape streamer on Twitch. Former Mod Reach subsequently received negative responses for implementing the update, which was widely seen as a case of favouritism.
  • "I'm going to get married, to the night" is a reference to the song "Marry The Night" by Lady Gaga.
  • "I'm looking for a girl named Molly. I can't seem to find her. Any assistance?" is either a reference to the song "Molly" by Tyga, or to the NPC Molly.
  • The "Init doe. Lyk, I hope yer reward iz goodd aye?" line employs (northern) English slang and eye dialect. Jagex itself is based in England.
