The Voidwaker is a melee weapon that requires level 75 Attack to wield. It is acquired by providing the Voidwaker blade, hilt, and gem to Madam Sikaro in the Ferox Enclave Dungeon, who will reassemble the weapon for a fee of 500,000 coins. The three parts are obtained separately as rare drops from Vet'ion, Callisto, and Venenatis (or their lesser counterparts) respectively. Its base stats are roughly comparable to an abyssal whip, and it has one of the most powerful damaging special attacks of any weapon in the game.

The Voidwaker has a special attack, Disrupt, which consumes 50% of the player's special attack energy. The special attack deals guaranteed Magic damage between 50-150% of the wielder's maximum melee hit. The special attack will provide 2 Magic experience per damage dealt.

The special attack is particularly useful due to its guaranteed medium to high damage. In PvP, it can be used for a consistent finishing blow and it pairs well with other high-damage special attack weapons such as the Armadyl or ancient godsword, dragon claws, or granite maul due to its special attack cost.

In PvM situations, the voidwaker is strongest when facing an enemy with high melee defence (such as high slash when using claws) and is not immune or resistant to magic damage. Compared to the crimson kisten, the voidwaker's guaranteed accuracy and higher strength bonus makes it superior against enemies resistant to crush, but it will generally performs slightly worse on average than it when facing crush-susceptible enemies, as the voidwaker has a minimum of 50% and maximum of 150%, whereas the kisten has a minimum of 70-110% on one roll or 130-170% on four rolls.

• Various concepts for the Voidwaker by Mod Grub.
• The proposed models for the Voidwaker; option C passed the design poll.
• A player performing the Voidwaker's special attack, Disrupt, before it was graphically updated.

Aside from the weapon's name, it is very similar to RuneScape 3's Korasi's sword as it was in 2010, which was given as an untradeable reward for completing the grandmaster quest The Void Stares Back. As the quest required 80 Magic, 71 Firemaking, 70 Construction, 70 Crafting, 70 Smithing, 55 Summoning, 10 Defence, and 78 Attack and Strength, these effectively acted as the requirements to wield the sword.

The Voidwaker's special attack also bears similarity to that of Korasi's sword. Despite sharing the name Disrupt with the original, the Voidwaker's special attack excludes the chain-hitting effect of Korasi's sword, which could damage up to two additional, adjacent targets for 50% and 25% of the first hit's damage in multi-combat areas. However, the Voidwaker's Disrupt only requires 50% special attack energy to use, as opposed to the original's 60%.

In comparison, the Voidwaker is a tradeable item, dropped in three tradeable parts (the blade, hilt, and crystal) from Callisto, Venenatis, and Vet'ion, and only requires level 75 Attack to wield. The Voidwaker also has slightly higher stats compared to the original iteration of Korasi's sword:

Item		Attack bonuses					Defence bonuses					Other
Korasi's sword		+60	+70	-2	0	0	0	+1	0	0	0	+70	0	0%	0
Voidwaker		+70	+80	-2	+5	0	0	+1	0	+2	0	+80	0	0%	0

During Project Rebalance, Jagex proposed to alter the Voidwaker's special due to player concerns about its special attack, which was a guaranteed hit and would often hit very high, even through prayers. Initial proposals suggested to change the special attack to give an increased accuracy multiplier based on the target's Slash or Magic defence, whichever was lower. Both suggestions were not well-received, as these changes were primarily meant for player killing scenarios and would have a much more negative impact in player versus monster scenarios, as the monsters where the voidwaker was primarily used for had high slash and magic defence. On 24 April 2024, the proposals were shelved and the voidwaker was left as is for the time being.

• Despite the poll blog and newspost stating the Voidwaker requires level 75 Attack, 75 Strength, and 60 Magic to wield, the weapon only requires level 75 Attack to wield. It is not known whether this is an oversight or not.
• The special attack's sound effect is actually Superior Demonbane's cast and an attack from Tombs of Amascut Wardens' boss fight sound effects playing at the same time.
• The voidwaker shares similarities in its special attack and animation with RuneScape 3's Korasi's sword.
