Start Point:
The Mines south of Mort Myre.
To Start:
Speak to the Zealot.
Instructions:
  1. Go to the Saradominist Zealot near the mines and say you follow Saradomin and ask him what he is doing here. He will tell you about the Zamorak Mage protecting some "sacred crystals" down there and saying how he will kill all who try and steal them.

    Step 1

  2. Pickpocket the Saradominist Zealot to obtain a key.

    Step 2

  3. Head south west until you get to a mine cart. Climb over it and you will be at the Entrance to the caves.

    Step 3

  4. As you enter the mines walk west, do not pay attention to the ladders you will see and head to the other side of the tunnel and out. Go south a few steps then go back in the tunnel. Go east a bit and you will come to a ladder, go down it.

    Step 4

    Step 4

  5. Head east again and go down the next ladder.

    Step 5

  6. You should see a mine cart moving around. Do not let it hit you as you can get hurt from it. Instead, make your way up the tracks, hiding in the alcoves to the side whenever the cart comes. At the end of the tracks, go down the ladder.

    Step 6

  7. Pick some fungus and bring it to the cart towards the west. Use the fungus with the cart.

    Step 7

    Step 7

  8. Now go to the cart controls and pull these levers: a, b, d, i, e, j.

    Note: The map differs from player to player. If it does not match the image below, then keep pulling the levers until it does. If you fail the track map, you will need to get a new fungus and place it in the cart again!

    Step 8

    Step 8

    Step 8

    Go back to the track map and ensure that it matches the one below.

    Step 8

    Then press the "START" button on the track map. This should transport the cart to the other side of the maze with the fungus along with it.

  9. Go all the way back up to the Level One of the caves (On floor 4 use the ladder to the south, floor 3 use the east ladder, and floor 2 use the west ladder to reach floor 1) and go down the ladder you ignored earlier in the Northern cave. Go east and down another ladder. Go west and down another ladder to the cart. Take the fungus out and go back up the ladder.

    Step 9

    Step 9

    Step 9

    Step 9

  10. Head east and then keep going down the ladders and south until you get to the water valve. Use the Zealot key you pickpocketed on it and run as fast as you can to the lift before the ghost turns the valve. (Make sure you have at least 30 or higher energy before you do it).

    Step 10

  11. Now get ready for the final battle. From the lift go south, then go east and go down the stairs to the lowest level with the fungus. You must now kill a level 95 ghost that is rather hard to kill, as it teleports around the room and many things in the room will attack you.

    Step 11

  12. I recommend a lot of food for this part. To begin the battle, try to take the innocent looking key. Axes will fly at you, so use protect from ranged; note that the cranes will hit you too (HARD, frequently 25-35 damage), and the enemy continually lures you into their path.

    Step 12

    Step 12

  13. Once you have him defeated him, take the innocent looking key. Leave the area through the door to the east and go back up the stairs. Head west and walk down a similar staircase. Open the large door using the Crystal-mine key and cut a Salve shard from one of the crystal outcrops using a Chisel. Leave the mine Haunted simply by teleporting out, or go back up lift and make your way to the surface.

    Note: In case you forgot to bring your chisel, go back up the lift and pick a chisel on a crate. If you wish to create multiple Salve amulets; drop the Salve shard that you obtained and cut another from the Crystal outcrop. Pick up the one that you dropped and repeat the process.

    Step 13

    Congratulations! Quest Complete!
