The cave

Note: You may now (or already have been) become diseased if under 89 combat and a Zogre or Skogre attacks you (level 44). Carry Super restore potions at all times. The disease lowers a random skill 10 levels every minute or so!

Run north-west to an area with a blackened floor, a short cut scene will begin.
Search the skeleton next to the broken lectern. A Zombie will appear and attack, kill it to obtain the Ruined backpack.
Open the ruined backpack to obtain a Dragon inn tankard, some rotten food and a knife.

Attempt to search the coffin west of the Skeleton, and then use a knife on it.
Attempt to open coffin (may take a couple of tries), search the coffin for the black prism.

Read all three books.
Use all three books on Sithik.
Use Papyrus on Sithik.
Use portrait on Sithik.
- Note: He must appreciate the "honesty" of the portrait, not the "truth". More papyrus can be found in the drawers.
- Note: The portrait's examine text must say "A classic realist charcoal portrait of Sithik."
- Note: The odds of getting the correct portrait seem to be drastically reduced with a very low Crafting level (1-10). 20+ is recommend to speed up the process."
Go to the Dragon Inn in Yanille and use the Dragon Inn Tankard, then the portrait on the Bartender.

The Bartender will sign the portrait as an affidavit.

Speak to Zavistic Rarve while holding the Necromancy book, book of 'H.A.M', the tankard and the signed portrait. ( 3)…

Prepare to fight Slash Bash (level 111). If you are using an comp ogre bow instead of Crumble Undead, follow the "optional" steps below.

Making an ogre composite bow (optional)

Chop an Achey Tree for logs.
Use a knife on the achey tree logs with wolf bones in your inventory, and select box number (2) to create an unstrung comp bow.
String the bow with bow string to create the finished bow.

Making Relicym's balm (optional)

Either buy one from the Grand Exchange or make it yourself by adding Rogue's purse to a Vial of water and then add Snake weed. It is not needed for the quest but giving it to Uglug Nar will allow you to purchase Relicym's balm from his shop if needed in the future.

Making brutal arrows (optional)

Note: If you have access to the Grand Exchange, you can just buy the arrows and skip this section.

Cut down Achey Trees for Achey tree logs.
Fletch the logs with a knife into Ogre arrow shafts.
Add feathers to the shafts.
With a hammer in your inventory use nails on the Flighted ogre arrows.

Fighting Slash Bash

Note: Slash Bash uses Ranged and Melee, easiest method is to use Ranged from a safespot with Protect from Missiles prayer turned on. Alternatively, one may use the spell Crumble Undead if they prefer to use magic.

Head back down into Jiggig.
Travel west until you reach two sets of doors.
Go through both doors and go down the stairs.
Follow the chamber to the end and search the stand.
