Icthlarin's Little Helper

01Bring everything first

There is no bank access once this starts, and there are several high-level fights before you get any. Pack completely.

1. 1

   Bring a cat, and everything on the item list. The nearest bank once you begin is Nardah.

   • Tinderbox
2. 2

   Travel to the Wanderer north of Sophanem. Collect water from the pond west of her first if you are making your own salt.

02How flashbacks work

1. 1

   The quest runs through flashbacks of what you did while hypnotised. Be ready before triggering each one.

   You cannot teleport out of a flashback. Dying loses your cat, and you would have to get another from Gertrude.

2. 2

   To leave, walk back to the pyramid entrance — or log out and back in, which puts you outside.

3. 3

   Navigate the pyramid using the minimap rather than clicking in the game world. That routes you around the wall-crushers and pit traps automatically.

03The Sphinx's riddle

1. 1

   After the first flashback, talk to the Sphinx with your cat out.

2. 2

   She asks how many people are in a family where a husband and wife have six sons and each son has one sister. The answer is 9 — six brothers, one shared sister, two parents.

   A wrong answer costs you your cat and a trip back to Gertrude for another.

04The canopic jar

1. 1

   In the second flashback, open the west room and examine the four jars. Your quest journal names the organ in the one you need, and you can only pick up the correct jar anyway.

2. 2

   Picking it up summons one of four apparitions, level 75 to 81, each using a specific attack style chosen from your stats.

3. 3

   Afterwards you must put the jar back. You need 20 per cent run energy to jump the pit, and the door puzzle has to be solved again — click the golden bird to reset it until it matches.

4. 4

   Talk to the High Priest, then help the Embalmer and the Carpenter. Recharge prayer at the altar here if you used protection prayers.
