There is no written introduction to this one yet. The walkthrough, requirements, items and rewards below are complete.
Walkthrough
01Following the trail
- 1
Speak to Elias White at the Jolly Boar Inn about zombies organising in the Wilderness.
- 2
Inspect each object along the trail in order. The Inspect option does not appear until the previous one is done, so there is no skipping ahead.
02Zemouregal's dungeon
- 1
Enter the dungeon, finish the dialogue with Elias, then run north and look over the balcony for a cutscene.
- 2
Sharathteerk and the undead Arrav appear, and the red mist powering the dungeon's security is established.
03The Sacred Forge
- 1
Speak to Elias outside Sir Prysin's room at Varrock Palace. He has warned Captain Rovin an attack is coming.
- 2
The Shield of Arrav was forged by the Imcando dwarves, so go to Camdozaal and ask Ramarno about it.
- 3
Stoke the Sacred Forge as he asks, mining a barronite deposit if you did not bring one.
04The true descendant
- 1
Return to a palace under attack. Go two flights up the north-western staircase to Elias and Rovin for the Shield of Arrav.
- 2
Downstairs, Reldo describes a list of the elders who sent Arrav out. Search the scrolls by the flipped table in the north-east corner.
- 3
Read the Varrock Census north-west of the scrolls before you leave.
Reading the census before finding the scrolls can leave the dialogue out of order. Take the scrolls first.
- 4
At least six level 85 armoured zombies and several level 70 chaos golems stand between you and the end.
