The stone circle

Speaking to Kaqemeex.

Items recommended: To save time, bring raw rat meat, raw bear meat, raw beef and raw chicken. You can read the subsequent section for advice on gathering these.

Head to the stone circle on the hill just north of Taverley, immediately east of the road to Burthorpe. Talk to Kaqemeex and tell him you are in search of a quest. He will mention that the stone circle south of Varrock used to belong to the druids of Guthix, but the dark wizards have cursed the rocks. They are in need of an adventurer to help purify the circle. He asks you to speak to Sanfew, who is working on a purification ritual.

Sanfew can be found to the south, upstairs in the big octagonal Herblore shop marked with a herb. Tell him that you were sent to help, and Sanfew will request raw rat meat, raw bear meat, raw beef and raw chicken, to be dipped in the Cauldron of Thunder for the ritual.

Acquiring the meat

Skip this section if you already have the meat.

These meats can all be bought on the Grand Exchange, or purchased at Rufus' Meat Emporium in Canifis after the completion of Priest in Peril.

If obtaining the meat by killing the animals, Lands End in Great Kourend has a bear, chicken and rat in close vicinity. You can reach the area via Veos in Port Sarim after the completion of X Marks the Spot. The cow can be killed in the Lumbridge pasture.

Alternately, there is the bear near the building just west of Ice Mountain, the chicken and cow at the farm just south-east of Falador, and the giant rat near the graveyard just north of the church below Port Sarim.

Enchanting the meat

Items needed: Raw bear meat, Raw rat meat, Raw chicken and Raw beef
Items recommended: Food for low levels

The Cauldron of Thunder is located in Taverley Dungeon. Head south of Taverley and down the ladder. Head north, past the level 22 and level 25 skeletons until you see a gate to the east, with two level 19 suits of armour on either side. Try to open the gate and they will attack you (regardless of combat level). Either kill them, or simply continue to click on the gate until it opens. Enchant the meat by using each piece on the Cauldron of Thunder inside the room, and you will notice they will turn blue.

Once you have enchanted all four meats, return to Sanfew, who will take them and thank the player for bringing the druids one step closer to reclaiming their stone circle. He then asks the player to speak again to Kaqemeex. Return to Kaqemeex, who will teach the player the basics of the Herblore skill.

Congratulations, quest complete!
