1. Speak to Horacio outside Lord Handelmort's mansion, located a little west from the market square in Ardougne. Ask who he is and then offer to help him. He will ask you to get a Jade vine, which only grows east of Shilo Village, and tell you to talk to Wizard Cromperty first.
   
2. Head to the most northeastern building of Ardougne (East) and talk to Wizard Cromperty. He will ask you to go to the RPDT depot.
   
3. Proceed to RPDT the depot just south of Ardougne (East) bank, and talk to one of the employees.
   
4. You will now have to open the smelly package on the nearby table. In it, you'll find the severed hand of a wizard.
5. Go back and speak to Wizard Cromperty. After a short cut scene, he will ask you to make him a pot lid. The pot lid must be made after the cut scene; if you made it beforehand, it will not work. There is a potters wheel north of the Castle (across the river) on the east side of the road leaving town.
6. Talk to Wizard Cromperty once you have made the pot lid and he will tell you to go speak to Garth. He is the farmer near the fruit tree patch in Brimhaven.
7. Speak to Garth and he will tell you how to get a cutting of the Jade vine. Make sure you have a pot, the pot lid, a machete, a woodcutting hatchet (not necessary if you have one in your toolbelt), a plant pot with soil, antipoison potions, secateurs, a spade, and a quick teleport in case you get in trouble. Garth will also remind you to seal the cutting in a pot as soon as you get it.
   
8. Travel to Shilo Village and go outside. Head around to the northeastern side (you have to run all the way around the outside of the village), and climb up the vines on the ground to enter the maze. Make sure you are ready for combat and have antipoison.
   
9. Start by heading east and climbing the vines. Next head south and climb down. Now head northwest and climb down another vine to get back onto the ground level.
   
10. Immediately to the south of you, you will see the vines forming some sort of gate, with smaller vines hanging from it. Cut through them and crawl through. Go through another one of these, then climb up the vine to the southwest.
    
    
11. Climb up twice and you will find a platform with a Karamjan jungle eagle (the transport kind). Head east across the platform and climb down, then swing on the vine.
    
12. Head north and climb down twice, then crawl through the two vines to the south. Do not go down the holes here.
    
13. Climb up twice and then cross the vine over the river. If you fall look for a hole that you can enter, nearby where you are washed up. This will bring you to a random spot within the maze.
    
14. Once across the river, climb down twice and crawl through the first vine, then climb up a vine. Do NOT crawl through the second vine or you will have to start over.
    
15. Once on the vine, head west and climb up, go west and then down, and then northwest and up. You will find yourself on the other vine that crosses the river; cross it.
    
16. Now go climb down two vines and you should find yourself next to some piles of loose soil.
    
17. Dig from a loose pile to expose the vine, then cut it. Now put it in your plant pot and wait to see if it grows. If it does, quickly use it with your pot to seal it. If you fail just keep trying until you grow one.
18. Return to the mansion in Ardougne (East) and use the sealed pot with the patch. You will need a trowel to plant it (see the tool leprechaun nearby).
19. The vines will grow out of control and you will have to kill it. Make sure you have some antipoison potions, a woodcutting axe, and some food, then tell Horatio you are ready to fight it. During the fight, use the protect from melee prayer, but keep in mind that the vine attacks with all three combat styles.
    
20. Once you defeat it, cut the vine and talk to Horatio to finish the quest. Congratulations! Quest Complete!
    

Jade Vine:

After the quest, you can plant the vine seed in the patch nearby. If you do not prune it regularly, however, it will try to kill you. If it does try to kill you, you can train slayer by killing it, even if it is not your assignment. You can alternatively have Horacio look after your vine for 10 wildblood hops, although he doesn't have a "Pay" option. Speak to him after the quest to learn more about the vine. Every 24 hours the vine will grow, and you will be given two options: To attack and kill it for 3k Slayer XP, or to trim it with secateurs to get 350 Farming XP. You can repeat this process daily.

Wizard Burial:

Prior to the events taking place in the Hand in the Sand an upcoming wizard called Clarence was murdered. All that was found of him was a hand, which you have, and his head. Maybe you could explore the maze once more in search for the missing body parts? For more information, please refer to the Wizard Burial guide.
