For the complete storyline, click here. edit Walkthrough [edit] At the Paterdomus Talk to the Mercenary Adventurer at the Burgh de Rott Ramble start point, east of the Paterdomus. He will ask you if you can bring him to Burgh de Rott. Before you leave, though, he makes a comment about some strange characters. Question him about them. He will advise talking to Drezel. Go down the trapdoor and talk to the monk. He hasn't noticed anything suspicious about the temple, due to the fact that he was too busy restoring the temple. During the restoration process, he discovered a secret room, a columbarium! He will ask that you both search the burial chamber and the outside of the temple. The two next steps are optional : BE PREPARED FOR BATTLE. Bring 2 attack styles with you. Go west through the gate and down the stairs in the next room. You will be in a large room, the columbarium. Look for a wall storage on the wall just east from the stairs; in it is a shiny object that blinks on and off. You will discover the end of what seems to be a Blood talisman! However, you need a key to open the storage case... The discovery of a blood talisman. Head outside (west toward Varrock) to the temple and enter. Go to the third floor. You will see a cutscene involving the suspicious characters. Zamorakians and Saradominists! What could they be up to? Now, you will fight against two level 80 guards; Fistandantilus and Zaromark Sliver. They can use all Protection Prayers so using multiple attacks styles is advised. Also note that they can attack using all forms of combat, so watch out! You can teleport out or climb down the stairs if you must. However, you have to kill the guards in order to continue. It is recommended to poison the guard. As they won't be using prayer for the first hit, a good tip is to first attack them with the special attack of a poisoned dragon dagger, then try attacking with 2 different attack styles (range and melee recommended). Note that all 3 attack styles isn't needed, but only 2 of them: Start off with your first attack style until they begin praying from it. When this happens, switch to your second attack style, and when they begin praying against that, switch back to your first attack style, and so on. Using a Salamander can be very helpful here. If you poison the guards they yell "Gack! Poison!". The special effect of a full Verac armour, Dragon scimitar special attack and Ancient mace special attack is ineffective with both guards (but mace will give you prayer points equal to damage you would deal if they didn't pray). Search the "crude table" in the northwest alcove for clues. You will find a torn book page and a glove. Return to Drezel. He will tell you to escort the Mercenary Adventurer to Burgh de Rott. Do so. This escort will be the same as any Burgh De Rott trip, so be prepared! Refer to Burgh de Rott Ramble for details. Bring Druid pouches and a silver weapon (the best silver weapon at this time is Darklight for melee and Silver bolts for ranged). If you are too weak to do this, then just do the easy route and run from all combat adventures. Note, you may not bring a summoning pouch or a follower on this step. There appears to be no value to giving food to your companion unless it is one of those he has a slot for in his inventory. [edit] The Myreque's Task The adventurer will reveal himself to be fellow Myreque member, Ivan Strom! Follow him back to the Myreque base under the old inn and talk to Veliaf Hurtz. After a short talk about Ivan, tell him about the plans to take out the Guthixian Edicts. Afterwards, ask him about your next job at which point he gives the player a crate destined for Safalaan who needs provisions. Veliaf will also mention a new weapon meant to take out the Vyrewatch. Make your way to the boat to the south and board it. Make your way to Safalaan in Meiyerditch. Refer to the Darkness of Hallowvale quest guide for help. However, there is a faster way:
Shortcut:
Get a Vyrewatch to take an interest in you, and tell it to send you to the mines. If you don't have a pickaxe, ask for one from a miner within the mines. Mine 15 ores, fill the cart, and leave the mines. Walk very far south until you see a 3 houses cropped together with a larger house in the middle flanked by two smaller houses, open the doors to walk through to house with ladder, and go up ladder. Jump east to a floorboard, and go down stairs. Go slightly to the east, then south, and push the wall. Press the sickle, open the rug, and climb down the trapdoor. Talk to Safalaan. He will tell you to talk to fellow member, Flaygian Screwte. Talk to him. Ask him about the research. He will tell you that the book of haemalchemy that you found. It turns out that the vyrewatch have a "sixth sense." They can predict your moves, easily evading them. The best way to beat them is to create a new, completely unpredictable weapon. [edit] In Search of the Weapon The Red X is the furnace and the Yellow X is the post. Talk to Andiess Juip or Kael Forshaw. They will advise you to use a flail. They will tell you that a recruit has a book about the flail. Search the bunk beds and lockers to the south until you find the book. (Tip: The book is located in the middle bunk bed on the north wall of the eastern room.) Read it before returning to Flaygian. He will ask you which page he needs to read. Type in the correct number from the book. (Tip: This number is the first number you will see about flails.) He will tell you of a furnace. He will give you a hammer and 10 nails. Exit the base and head to the northernmost part of Meiyerditch. Look for a house with the "mass of debris" (see picture located to the right). This will be the house with the furnace. You need to find a way in. Enter the house south of this house. It has a post that can be right-clicked (the middle one). Use your hammer on the post to nail some nails, and climb up the new make-shift ladder. The furnace. Jump across the floorboards and through the damaged wall and then climb up the next ladder. Search the trough before taking the pickaxe, tinderbox, and coal from the coal barrel. Go to the bottom floor and use the pickaxe on the mass of debris. Once the furnace is free, use your coal on the furnace. Then, light it with your tinderbox. Now, return back to Flaygian. He will tell you to make the flail. In the same room as Flaygian, take two silver and two mithril bars from the barrel on the northern wall, and a blessed sickle from the shelf on the southwestern wall. Go to the room to the east of the entrance ladder, and search the crate for a chain link mould. Go back to the furnace and make the Silvthril chain. Return to Flaygian. Talk to him, then show him the blessed sickle. He will take the chain and sickle from you, and tell you to talk to Safalaan. [edit] Return to the Lab Safalaan will introduce you to Andiess Juip and Kael Forshaw. He then makes a request for you. They want to search the laboratory to the north. After a short dialogue, make your way to the laboratory (which is south-east of the furnace). (Note: Before you go, take a saw from the tool rack on the west wall. You'll need it later on.) A short cutscene will start, with you discovering the bodies of Safalaan and the bodyguards. Look at any of the bodies, and they'll jump up at you and attack! But it turns out they were playing a joke on you, and are totally fine. After that scare, search the door to the south. Then, use your saw on the door. Go through the door. You'll be in a long, winding tunnel. Make your way down the tunnel. Watch out for the Skeletal Hands. They're level 80 and use melee to attack. You'll eventually reach a chamber with Mutated Bloodvelds! They're level 132 and use a magic-based-melee attack. Continue to the northwest until you find a narrow passage. Go through the passage until you reach a large room. [edit] Vyrewatch & The Ivandis flail Enter the room to see a cutscene with Safalaan and the bodyguards. The corpse next to the rocks. Safalaan will tell you to search the rocks in the northern part of the cavern. Make your way to the northern part of the cavern. (Note: Before you search the rocks, search the corpse right next to it. You will receive a few runes which will be useful later on. ) Now, search the rocks. They'll feel familiar to you... Return to Safalaan. You will see a short cutscene where two Vyrewatch will attack. They will kill Andiess, and start to attack Safalaan. The other bodyguard, Kael, flees. Although he tells you to attack, your attacks do no good. The Vyrewatch are immune to normal attacks. After a few hits, Safalaan falls almost dead to the ground, suddenly, he performs a magical spell in a short cutscene, forcing the Vyrewatch to flee. Both of you return back to base. Talk to Safalaan. He wants to keep what happened down there quiet. You agree, and Safalaan gives you the materials for the Ivandis flail, the chain, the sickle, the Rod of Ivandis, and a cut emerald. Get a chisel from the tool rack. Use the emerald on the sickle. Then, enchant (Level 2) the emerald sickle. Afterwards, use the chain on the enchanted emerald sickle or the Rod of Invandis. You just crafted the Ivandis flail. Return to Safalaan. (Note: If you don't have the runes for the enchantment, go back to the lab and search the corpse near the blood altar.) Safalaan tells you to put the Ivandis flail to the ultimate test. Kill a Vyrewatch. The Vyrewatch are strong, above 100 combat,but very innacurate, so protection prayer and/or food is advised, but probably not needed if you have 85+ combat. Go outside and kill a Vyrewatch. When it dies, it drops a Vyre corpse. Take it and return to Safalaan. He will order you to return to Veliaf in Burgh de Rott, and tell him your findings. Then, talk to Drezel about a more effective way to kill the Vyrewatch. [edit] Back to the Columbarium Return to Burgh de Rott, and tell Veliaf the good news. He will advise you to go to Drezel to find out a way to dispose of the corpse. (Note : Get Pyre logs and tinderbox at the bank before leaving the area) Return to Drezel at the Paterdomus. He will examine the corpse and respond in surprise. There's a soul in the body, tortured and anxious to be freed. You begin to remember something similar happening somewhere... but can't put your finger on it. He suggests going to the columbarium to meditate. Take out your pyre logs (teak or better) and a tinderbox. Go to the columbarium. On a funeral pyre, use your pyre log, followed by the corpse, then light it. You will get an Ornate tomb key. You have found the Talisman! Go to the place where you saw the Blood talisman. It's in the wall storage east of the ladder. You will notice something shining when you come across it. Search it, and open the storage to get it. You lose the key, but gain the powerful talisman! Drezel will come in and congratulate you. Before you can use the talisman though, he has to bless you. He blesses you and returns upstairs. Go up and talk to him. Drezel will advise you to go back to Veliaf. Return to Burgh de Rott and talk to Veliaf. He will ask you about the
- story. You will tell him, and he will reward you. Quest Complete!
