Walkthrough overview
A brief summary of the quest, noting where each card is used. The OSRS Wiki has the full, authoritative walkthrough.
- 1
Search the bookcases in the south-east corner of the Exam Centre to find a beaten book with a scroll. Read both, then head to Seers' Village (keep the book until the end).
- 2
If needed, get a battered key from the Seers' Village bookcase, enter the workshop, and search the machinery in the water elemental room to get the key for the main hatch.
- 3
Unlock and descend the hatch. Take the crane and lever schematics from the schematic crate, then smith a bar into a crane claw and fit it to the crane.
- Hammer
- 4
Operate the machinery — pull the old lever to turn off the fan so the cart moves forward (twice if you also want the mind shield).
- 5
In the mind room, place a bar on the extractor gun and operate the extractor hat to make a primed mind bar (draining Magic by 20). Retrieve it, smith the mind helmet, and finish the quest.
