Trivia

• The original MIDI file has the title Ways of the Dead.
• Until 17 March 2021, it could also be unlocked by scrying through a Barrows portal in a player-owned house. This allowed players who have not completed the Priest in Peril quest to unlock the track.
• Unlike most songs in the RuneScape soundtrack, Dance of the Undead is written in 3/4 time.
