There are three main ways to get to the Phoenix Lair. Using a Phoenix Lair Teleport scroll will teleport you right outside the Phoenix Lair. The Fairy Ring Method is the second quickest. To get there with the Fairy Rings go to any Fairy Ring (with your Dramen staff equipped if you have not done Fairy Tale Part III) and click on the Fairy Ring. Once at the Zanaris Fairy Ring enter the code A K Q. Once at the Piscatoris Hunting area run West then go North when you reach the rocky area where you started In Pyre Need quest. The last method is via the Lodestone Network, select Home Teleport > Eagles' Peak then run North and West.
To get to the Phoenix you must first go through five Caves inside the Lair and collect one of each: Cinnamon twigs, Sassafras twigs, Ailanthus twigs, Cedar twigs, and Mastic twigs. The caves will be in a random order but you will always come in on the Southern enterance and all monsters inside the cave are aggresive. In each cave there are the Phoenix's minions. There are the Lesser minions and Greater Minions. If there is a Lesser or Greater Mage attacking you you should have on the Magic Protection Prayer. Some of the minions will block your path similar to the Monkey Guards on Ape Atoll however these cannot teleport throughout the cave. You will have to kill these to get past. When you get close enough the Minions will often teleport near you and attack. Below are the five caves and the best routes for each. Below is minimaps with the best route for each.
After you've defeated the Phoenix, you can walk out of the cave again.
If you're lucky, you might find yourself in another room with phoenix eggs in it.
If you're under 72 Summoning you will walk out with the Phoenix egg and will be able to hatch and choose your type of Phoenix Eggling you want after you reach 72. If you're 72+ Summoning you can then choose whether you want to clap at the egg or kick it. If you decide to clap, you'll receive a cute phoenix eggling. If you kick at the egg, you will receive a Mean Phoenix eggling.
Good luck, and have fun!
