Haunted Mine

Recent forays into Morytania by some of Saradomin's more fanatical supporters have unearthed murky rumours concerning an abandoned mine in the south. Legend speaks of an unusual material, hidden in the depths of the mines, that is somehow linked to the desolation and fear that now surrounds the place. Do you have the nerve to find out more, and enter the haunted mines of Morytania?

Finding the cart again

  4. 04

    Head south and use the Zealot's key on the water valve.

  5. Note: If you forgot a chisel be sure to grab the one near the lift before you open the valve; you won't have enough time to pick it up while running there.

    Go south then East and down the stairs.

  8. 07

  9. 08

    Pick up the innocent-looking key to start the boss fight.

  10. 09

    Kill Treus Dayth. It is recommended to pray Protect from Missiles throughout the fight. A good way to fight this boss is to run near him after attacking; the goal is to force him into the north-eastern corner. Once this occurs, run west to the end of the detached northern shaft and attack him from a distance. This prevents him from teleporting around the mine while also negating crane damage, which should make the fight easier.

  11. Note: If you teleport away, you will have to get another Glowing fungus.

  12. Note: If you die, you cannot get the Glowing fungus back from your grave in the flooded area. This is not a safe fight.

  13. Note: If you are following the Optimal Quest Guide, using Crumble Undead is the most effective way to kill this boss.

  14. 10

    Pick up the key

  15. 11

    Go back up the eastern stairs.

  16. 12

    Go west and down those stairs. You will need the Glowing fungus to act as a light source.

  17. 13

    Open the door and cut the crystal outcrop to the south-east with your chisel.

  18. 14

    Congratulations, quest complete!
