Walkthrough overview
A brief summary of the quest, noting where each card is used. The OSRS Wiki has the full, authoritative walkthrough.
- 1
Talk to Islwyn (found with Eluned in one of two spots in Isafdar) to start. He distrusts humans until you mention moving Glarial's remains to the Waterfall Dungeon, after which he agrees to help.
- 2
Speak to Eluned, then head to Glarial's Tomb and use Glarial's pebble to enter.
- 3
Inside the tomb, kill a level-84 Moss Guardian (unarmed melee is simplest due to the item restrictions) to retrieve the consecration seed.
- 4
Travel to the Waterfall Dungeon with all items, board the raft above Baxtorian Falls, and use a rope on the rock and then on the dead tree to reach the entrance.
- Rope
- 5
Search the northernmost eastern crates for a key, unlock the western doors, and reach the room with the Chalice of Eternity.
- 6
Bury the consecration seed next to the chalice to complete the ritual, then return to Islwyn to claim your reward.
- Spade
