Haunted Mine

01Before you go

The salve amulet is one of the best-value quest rewards in the game. The boss is genuinely hard, and the mine around it is more dangerous than he is.

1. 1

   The Abandoned Mine is in the far south-west of Morytania. Reaching it needs Nature Spirit started, or fast travel to Mort'ton or Barrows. A low fence shortcut from Burgh de Rott saves the swamp run.

2. 2

   Speak to the Saradominist zealot between the mine and the swamp. Answer anything other than Zamorak, then ask what he is doing. He gives you his key.

02Hazards in the mine

1. 1

   Corpses labelled in yellow spring up as skeletal miners when you approach. Some pickaxes are possessed and attack when picked up.

2. 2

   Creepy hazes are mostly harmless but occasionally turn into ghosts if you stand next to them, and mine carts moving on their own damage you if you are on the track.

3. 3

   Climb down the ladder and pick a glowing fungus from beside the stagnant pool to the west. That is your light source.

03Reaching the lift

1. 1

   Do not take the mine cart track leading south. Climb back up with the fungus, go east past the ladder, then south past a moving cart and down the ladder into the side cave east of the flooded tracks.

2. 2

   Head south down the corridor and take the chisel from the crate spawn if you did not bring one.

3. 3

   Go around the large pipe and use the zealot's key on the valve, then run straight back to the lift.

   The water only flows briefly. If you walk instead of running, it stops before you reach the lift and you have to turn the valve again.

04Treus Dayth

1. 1

   Try to pick up the innocent-looking key. It floats away, and Treus Dayth appears at level 95.

   Read this before starting. The machinery in the room does more damage than Treus does, and high-healing food is close to mandatory at lower combat levels.

2. 2

   Kill him, then pick up the key — now the crystal-mine key.

3. 3

   Go back east through the door, up to level 5, all the way west and down the staircase. The key opens the large door to the crystal room in the south-east corner.

4. 4

   Cut a crystal outcrop with the chisel for a salve shard.
