Walkthrough
To start this quest you must speak to Captain Rovin in Varrock castle. He is in the North West Tower of the building. You will be asked to investigate the Graveyard of Shadows. Rovin’s scout, Hartwin, will follow you from the Varrock castle.
When you reach the graveyard speak with Hartwin, Rovin’s scout. The Graveyard is located approximately at level 20 wilderness. You’ll see a cut scene when you speak with Hartwin. After the cut scene you’ll find that there are zombie tracks leaving the graveyard. Use the tracking skills you learned from hunting, and you’ll eventually find your way down to the Chaos Temple.
• What you’ll need to do here is inspect the trees and bushes and rocks. Each time you’ll either extend the trail you’re following or find nothing. Just keep looking and you’ll find your way.
• Somewhere along the trail you’ll find a grubby key. The location of this key is random, but you should find it along the trail on your way to the Chaos Temple.
**Here is a map of the general path the zombie trail will follow. Anything else you may pick up will end in a dead end.
Below are Armoured Zombies (level 85) they are aggressive, so be prepared to fight them. Head north up the path and you’ll walk into a cut scene (you’ll come across a familiar character here). After the cut scene head down the western path where there is a gate.
What you need to do here is pick up three bottles and kill some zombies. The red mist that lingers after they die is needed to open the gate. Collect the mist and use them on the gate. Another cut scene will start. Afterwards, the bottles will have emptied out. Follow the path until you reach another gate.
The same as the first gate kill three zombies and collect the mist. Follow the path further east and there will be another balcony to look down into. Click it and view another cut scene. After the cut scene Hartwin will give you a Varrock teleport tablet. Use it and go tell Rovin what has happened.
Items Needed: Pickaxe, watch, sextant, chart, a light source, spade
He’ll mention a caved in forge up at the Ice Mountain. You’ll be given a piece of paper with the location. Before leaving however, go into the Ice Giant’s cave nearby and mine a piece of Blurite ore. Head up to the Ice Mountain and have your treasure hunting tools with you. To make things easier use Global RuneScape’s Treasure Trail Locator.
The hole should be near the white tree up on the mountain. After digging it out with your spade and pickaxe, enter it. Another short cut scene and you’ll be inside the Ruins of Camdozaal. Here you’ll find Ramarno. As an optional sort of side quest, you can give him a redberry pie for 1k smithing experience.
After speaking with him, use the Blurite on the forge. A cut scene will start and you’ll find out that Varrock is already under attack.
- Tarrlo Remanis -> King Roald Remanis
- Khom Prysin -> Sir Prysin
- Dathero Raispher -> Aeonisig Raispher (The King’s Advisor)
- Damar Leptoc -> Draul Leptoc & Juliet Leptoc
- Marv Halen -> Haig Halen (Museum Curator)
- Laris Gontamue -> Romeo Gontamue
- Ramone Ravitz -> Horvik Ravitz (Smith)
Speak with these people until you find out which person has the ancestor that founded Varrock. Keep trying all of them until one tells that his ancestry is adopted. They will tell you that the last true family was married into the Fitzharmon family.
Go to the gated section of Varrock in the south east where you started Family Crest and speak with Dimintheis. He’ll wield the Shield of Arrav and a cut scene will happen. After the cut scene you’ll appear with Rovin. Speak with him and finish the quest.
Extra Information
If you take a Redberry pie to Ramarno, the blind dwarf sage, he will eat it all and in return he will give you 1,000 Smithing experience. This can be done either during the quest, or after.
