About this quest
Starting out: Talk to Garth in Ver Sinhaza by the entrance to the Theatre of Blood.
There is no written introduction to this one yet. The walkthrough, requirements, items and rewards below are complete.
Walkthrough
01Getting to Ver Sinhaza
Long, and it runs you back and forth across Morytania. Stamina potions genuinely save time here.
- 1
Ectophial to the Ectofuntus then Andras' rowboat north for 10,000 coins is fastest, or reach Burgh de Rott and take the boat.
- Knife
- Chisel
02Onto the Theatre roof
- 1
Go to the south-west corner of Ver Sinhaza, just west of the bank, and try to climb the rubble. A vyrewatch stops you.
- 2
Pay Harpert 1,000 coins to distract the guard. There is a bank right there if you need it.
- 3
Climb the rubble and follow the wall north, using the vents as obstacles.
The vents occasionally blow out boiling steam as you climb. Watch your health rather than clicking through blind.
03The trap
- 1
Take what you find to Safalaan at the north Meiyerditch Myreque hideout.
- 2
The notes are nonsense — Vanstrom tricked Safalaan into giving up his blood. The Abomination at level 149 reaches the base and kills three of the Myreque.
- 3
Afterwards, meet at the old base under Old Man Ral's house, through the trapdoor in the north room, and get Flaygian's notes from Vertida.
04Ranis Drakan
- 1
Make the Ivandis flail from the rod of Ivandis and what the notes describe.
- Pestle and mortar
- 2
Speak to Kael near the entrance at Ver Sinhaza to begin. Ranis is level 233 and can only be harmed by the flail.
Rings of recoil do nothing here, and he must be fought in melee. Bring high-quality food, prayer potions and combat boosts.
- 3
To escape mid-fight, right-click the Meiyerditch citizen standing behind you.
Rewards
Everything else
- Ivandis flail - A weapon that can damage the vyrewatch
- Drakan's medallion - An amulet that gives the player unlimited teleports to the Theatre of Blood
- Tome of experience, granting 2,500 experience to any three skills of the player's choosing (level 35 or over). Can be the same skill.
