To Start:
Speak to Arianwyn.
Instructions:
  1. Talk to Arianwyn in Lletya, he will tell you to make sure the mourners haven't got the keys to the excavation site back yet.

  2. Go to West Ardounge and talk to the head mourner. He will ask you to look for a lost digging team and will give you a "New key" (If you lose this key, search the head mourner's desk for a new copy).

    Head Mourner

  3. Use the key to access the digging area and follow the path southwest. You will pass Level 183 Dark beasts which may attack you, but you can't hit them unless you have the correct Slayer Level. Protect from melee is strongly recommended.

  4. You will eventually reach an area filled with dead slaves, at which point you are prompted to go and speak to Arianwyn.

  5. Arianwyn tells you to go and find a sample of Darkened crystal from the temple. Go to where you found the slaves and continue west.

  6. Once you have finished speaking with Arianwyn head back to where you found the dead slaves. Continue heading west and go up the first stairs you see. From here you should head south two pillars, and climb up the ladder. Go north and take the second opening on the left. You should see some stairs to the north, go down these, then go up the stairs directly to the north. Run as far east as you can, then to the south you will see the black crystal, use your chisel on it to get a sample, then head back to Arianwyn.

    Black Crystal

  7. After you give the black crystal to Arianwyn, he'll give you a newly formed crystal and you'll have to take it to the altar at the end of the temple and then put it back in the black crystal to restore the safeguards.

    White Crystal

  8. Go upstairs in the temple to the east side. Pull the lever, then collect the mirrors and the crystal.

  9. Now go back to the bottom of the temple (where the level 186's are) and search the slave bodies until you get a colored wheel and Edern's journal. The first crystal is yellow so you need to get the beam to glow yellow in the blue door, since yellow is opposite of blue on the color wheel.

First Door

  1. Insert a mirror into the pillar near the collector, then search it and rotate the mirror, making the light go north.
  2. Go to the next pillar to the north and insert a mirror, making the light go west.
  3. Head to the next pillar to the west and insert a mirror, making the light go south.
  4. Go south to the next pillar and insert the yellow crystal.
  5. Head south again and insert a mirror in the next pillar, making the light go east to the cyan door.
  6. Climb on the wall support to get across the gap and enter the blue door. Search the chest for two more mirrors and a cyan crystal.

    First Door

Second Door

  8. Now head back down the ladder and go as far south as you can to another ladder in the wall just like the previous one.
  9. Once up, go north a little until you get to the double stairs in the center. Use them to reach the north side and then head west then north to get to the other side of the blue light.
  10. Put in a mirror to make the light go down, with the top of the mirror to the east and the bottom of the mirror to the west.
  11. Finally, go back to the east stairs near the collector and go to the bottom floor. Go to the northwest corner and go through the yellow door. Once through, rotate the mirror towards the other yellow door, go through and search the chest, then return to the collector.

  5. Follow the red light south to the southwest corner and insert a mirror to make the light go down. The top of the mirror should be to the north and the bottom of the mirror to the south.
  6. Now go down one floor using the stairs. to the west of these stairs is a low wall you can climb over that leads to a area with a hole in the ground and some rocks. Climb over the low wall and use your rope on the rocks to climb down.

  11. Now go down the stairs to the middle floor, then down the stairs near the collector to get to the bottom floor.
  12. Once there, go south a pillar, then west two pillars to where the green light is coming down. Insert a mirror here and make the light go south. The top of the mirror should be to the north and the bottom of the mirror should be to the south.

  4. Go west one pillar and insert the newest fractured crystal. It's the one that is split vertically, not horizontally, with the smooth side to the east. You can check to see if you put in the right one by seeing if there are four beams coming out of the pillar.
  5. From this pillar, go west a pillar, north a pillar, and then east a pillar and insert a mirror. Make the light go up by having the top of the mirror to the North/South and the bottom of the mirror to the South/North.
  6. Go back to the collector stairs and return to the middle floor. Head all the way north to the pillar next to the ladder and insert the yellow crystal.
  7. Now go up the ladder and insert a mirror in the pillar right next to you, making the light go west. The beam will go through the pink crystal and make the light turn red.
  8. Go back to the ladder you came up by and go down it to the middle floor. Run all the way to the other side and go up the ladder on the south wall to return to the top floor. Now go north and take the double stairs across. From there, go west and then north to where the red light is hitting the pillar.
  9. At the pillar, insert a mirror and make the light go south.
  10. Follow the red light south until you reach the next pillar, then insert a mirror and make the light go east. A built-in mirror will then reflect it down for you from there.

  11. Now head back to the pillar where you split the light at by taking the double stairs, the south ladder, and then the collector stairs. From the fractured crystal pillar, go south until you reach another pillar.
  12. Insert the remaining fractured crystal, it should make the light go east and west.
  13. Go west one pillar and insert a mirror, making the light go up. The top of the mirror should be to the west and the bottom should be to the east.

  15. Go back to the collector stairs and return to the middle floor, then go south to the ladder and go to the top floor.
  16. From the south ladder, go north a pillar and then west a pillar and insert a mirror, making the green light go west. Built-in mirrors will again make the light go down for you.

  17. Head back east three pillars and insert a mirror, making the light go west.
  18. Go west a pillar, insert a mirror, and make the light go north.
  19. Cross over to the north side using the double stairs and then insert a mirror in the east pillar, making the light go west.
  20. Move west one pillar and insert the blue crystal. The blue light will be reflected down by a built-in mirror once more.
  21. Return to the double stairs but instead of crossing them, take the west one down to a cyan door.
  22. The red beam should enable you to go through. Enter it and then rotate the mirror in the pillar to make the red beam go west. The door to the altar will now be open.
    Important Note: Whenever you want to leave, make sure you redirect the red light to the door! If you forget to do this you will have to go through the underground pass to get to the death altar!

After this go down the well once, then through a big door to get to the place with the Iban Desciples. Fail to jump a gap then you'll be at some soulesses. Go south to get to the place with the dwarves and buildings, and behind the buildings will be a staircase within the wall.

    • A random Book (Crumbling tome, Prifddinas' history, or Battered book. The Tome is near the barrows, the history is in a bookcase in Lletya, and the battered book is the book from the Elemental workshop quest, which has been replaced with the slashed book. Though the list still says battered book, a slashed book is accepted in it's place.)
