  4. Enter room with the skeletons to the north, and head to broken bridge on the western side of this room. Before crossing the bridge, make sure your weight is below zero! If it is above zero, you will fall in the lava, taking up to 200 Life points in damage. After you walked across the broken bridge, enter the room and pick up the Lever.

    Note: If you do fail, go up the ladder to Hemenster. Head to a bank and deposit the necessary amount of items, then walk back to the temple and redo this step.

  5. Near the ladder at the entrance of the dungeon, you will find a lever bracket on the wall. Use the Lever with the bracket and pull the lever. This will unlock the southern gate.

    Note: If you don't pull the lever and you leave the dungeon, you will have to go get the Lever again.

  6. Go through the southern gate, and follow the path until you reach a number of chests, hidden away in alcoves. Search every chest for Ice arrows. Keep searching the chests until you have around 25 arrows. If you do not receive 25 arrows after checking all chests, you can change world to reset the chests.

  7. When you have enough Ice arrows, head back to the room with the skeletons. This time, head straight north into a room with a lever and trapdoor. Search the lever for traps to disarm it. Then, you may pull the lever.

    Note: If you pull the lever without disarming the traps, the trap door will open and you will fall onto spikes taking up to 200 lp in damage.

    Search for Traps Lever

  8. Leave the room and head west until you reach a door. Open it and go across the room to the other door. As you try to open the second door, the Fire Warrior of Lesarkus will appear denying you the right to pass. He will start attacking you with fire spells. Turn on Protect from magic and range him with the Ice arrows.

    Note: If you do not kill him fast enough, he will cease the battle telling you to come back. When this happens, simply try to open the door again.

  9. After you have defeated the Fire Warrior of Lesarkus, you may open the door to the north. You will now notice a witch called Winelda. She will offer to you across the lava for the price of 20 Limpwurt roots (unnoted). Give her the roots and she will teleport you across.

    Staff of Armadyl

Side With The Guardians:

  1. Take off the Pendant of lucien and talk to one of the Guardians of Armadyl. Tell them that you seek the staff, and that you are working for a man named Lucien. They will be quite disappointed to hear that and tell you that you need to be cleansed. Reply with "You are right, it is time for my yearly bath", and they will bless you with holy water. They will also give you a Armadyl pendant and ask you to kill him.

  2. Now either use Home Teleport spell or Amulet of glory (4) to teleport to Edgeville or teleport to Varrock. Head to the small house west of the Grand Exchange. There, you will find Lucien. Attack him while wearing the Armadyl pendant to complete the quest.

    Note: If you cannot teleport, leave the room and climb up the ladder to the east. You will find yourself in building in McGrubor's Wood. Use the Shiny key on the door to go through it.

    Attack Lucien

Side With The Lucien:

  1. If you decided to side with Lucien, then try to take the Staff of armadyl off of the table. The Guardians of Armadyl will prevent you from touching it. Kill all of the guardians (level 43 and 45) in that corner of that room and pick up the staff

  2. Now either use Home Teleport spell or Amulet of glory (4) to teleport to Edgeville or teleport to Varrock. Head to the small house west of the Grand Exchange. There, you will find Lucien. Give him the Staff of armadyl to receive your reward.

    Note: If you cannot teleport, leave the room and climb up the ladder to the east. You will find yourself in building in McGrubor's Wood. Use the Shiny key on the door to go through it.
