I think Olleck Basilasi might be the one that tells you to kill Rubrum.. Have you tried talking to him?

Hey! I am unfortunately not a Mac user, so am not sure how the installation process goes on a Mac. From what I have heard, people have used CrossOver to run the installer on MacOS. Maybe these resources can help you: This topic states that installation on CrossOver worked, but then updating failed. That can be addressed with the updater from this topic. In the Discord > Noticeboard > questions, search for 'Installation on Mac (Windows 11 VM)'. There are several Mac users there, and if you scroll back to the beginning of the chat history, also some instructions for working with CrossOver.

Hi! I've built some stuff which may be useful for those of you who use Linux or MacOS. How to install & update ROSE Online on Linux, with Lutris First, you need to install Lutris, a system for managing installs for Windows games. Get it here. Once you have Lutris installed, run the following command in the terminal: lutris lutris:rose-online-swamp-rose-installer This will automatically download and run the installer, then update your game with the custom updater I built. To update your game at a later time: Open Lutris > Right-click ROSE Online > Execute script. This will update your game in the background. There is currently no way to check the progress, so just wait a couple of minutes. How to update ROSE Online on MacOS The custom updater is available for MacOS as a Homebrew package. To install the updater, copy and paste the following command into your Terminal: brew tap snyke7/swamp-rose-brew https://github.com/snyke7/swamp-rose-updater && brew install --cask --no-quarantine swamp_rose_updater This will install a 'swamp_rose_updater' application into your Applications folder. You can either run it, and navigate to your ROSE Online folder, or drop this folder on top of the application. This will open a new Terminal window with information on how it is trying to update your ROSE Online installation. After it finishes, it should display 'ROSE Online is now up to date' at the bottom. The '--no-quarantine' part is required for this to work. MacOS will otherwise flag the application as untrustworthy, and will strongly suggest you move it to the bin. Troubleshooting and questions:

I had the exact same problem with Yeti Armors not dropping from any kind of Yeti. However, as soon as I completed the Yeti Coffington quest (the repeatable one), the Yeti Armors started dropping. I think that quest combination might be a bit bugged atm. Note that the Ruper Staves had no problem dropping at the same time as the Coffington quest item. So try giving up/completing the Coffington quest, see if that works. Edit: Ah, I believe the quest combination is also bugged for the Yeti Kids Blood quest item, but in the other direction: there you only get the episode quest item, not the coffington quest item

Hey not sure if this is helpful to you, but I've got ROSE running on Linux using Wine and Lutris, not Steam. See here. In my experience, an unpatched game will launch just fine, but will hang on 'connecting to server' at login. So if the game is not launching, something is off with the '--init --server ...' arguments, or it is broken in another way.

I've thrown together a bash script which can be used for updating ROSE on Linux. It can be found here. Note that this is not a proper launcher with a GUI, but a script which needs to be run from the command line. This has not yet been tested on mac systems, so do get in touch if you're interested in getting this working on mac.

I've just got the game running on Ubuntu 20.04. I used Lutris to run the installation procedure as on Windows. After installation, you need to make two changes for a working ROSE. 1. Add execution arguments In the Lutris game configuration, add '--init --server connect.roseonlinegame.com' to executable arguments, as also mentioned by @rayun. This will allow Lutris to open ROSE. But because of missing updates, you will not be able to connect. 2. Manually put updates in ROSE folder The updater will not function on Lutris, as also mentioned above. If you have access to some device/VM/friend with an updated installation, get a copy of that and paste it over your installation. I'm not precisely sure which files are necessary, I copied trose.exe, data.idx, rose-updater.exe, rose.vfs and the updater folder IIRC. Finally, I'd also be willing to help out to make this easier for non-windows users. If the client updater could be made open source, that'd be great! We'll have a good starting point.
