While Guthix Sleeps

While Guthix Sleeps (also known as WGS) is the first Grandmaster quest released on 26 November 2008. It is said to be the longest quest to be released by Jagex. Completing this quest is very, very difficult, and only those with a considerable amount of experience can finish it.

Walkthrough
Player Warning: While on this Grandmaster quest, it is advised that you do not dispose, drop, or destroy the dagon'hai robes set or Elite black knight armor. There will be no other way to get these items back, other than purchasing from other players at moderately high prices. ''
 * Items to bring: Games necklace, varrock teleport, ranged gear.


 * 1) Talk to Radimus Erkle who is in the Legends' Guild north east of ardougne.
 * 2) Talk to Ivy Sophista in the long building which is south of the Witch's house in Taverley (She is near the chest that you use the crystal key on). When you speak to her, select the option "Our friend in common places great faith in totems".
 * 3) Go up the ladder which is near Ivy Sophista and the chest. Now talk to Thaerisk Cemphier who is on the second floor. While talking to Thaerisk Cemphier, two level 38 assassins will appear and attack you using range. [[Image:Assasins_attack_Thaerisk_Cemphier.PNG|thumb|Thaerisk fighting back]] Kill both of them and talk to Thaerisk again. The second time you talk to him, choose the following options in order: 1) "What efforts are you making against Lucien?" 2) "What are our options?" and finally 3) "What do you need me to do?".
 * 4) Now talk to Reldo, in the Varrock library.  Items to bring: Watchtower teleport, Mort myre fungus (given by the hunter expert), Ardounge teleport, knife, logs, ring of charos or 5,000 coins.
 * 5) After that, talk to the hunter expert in Feldip Hills. Build a pitfall trap just West of her, using logs and a knife, then bait it with the Mort Myre Fungi given by her. A few second later, a Broav will appear and fall in the trap. Bring the unconscious broav to the hunter expert, who will then train it.
 * 6) Go to laundry house just west of the Fight Arena, with a Ring of Charos, and charm the laundry person to give you Movario's clothing. If a player is not wearing a Ring of Charos, he/she will have to pay 5 000 coins to get Movario's clothing.
 * 7) Go to Khazard Battleground south of Ardougne. Drop your Broav then use the clothes on Broav. He will lead you to building with a broken table inside.  Search the table to find a trapdoor.
 * 8) Head north inside the tunnel to the end.   (Level 95 guards inside)[[Image:Movario Locked Door.gif|100px|right]]
 * 9) Head down stairs to find the "No Further Access" door.

Into Moravio's Base

 * 1) Use runes on door. See Movario's base for an image that will help you figure out which rune to use. The door will fire a blast spell at you if you have picked the incorrect rune: look closely at the spellng of "No Further Access" as it signifies the rune you need to unlock the door. The symbols up top will replace a letter in the spelling telling you which rune to use.  After the door has a rune in the center, search the door again and you will find a trap that you may choose to attempt to disarm.  If you succeed you can open the door without harm.  If you open the door without searching for traps, it hits you hard (35) and poisons you. Three guards appear as soon as you use runes on door. If you fail disarming the trap likely the same thing will happen.  NOTE:  If you leave the area and come back, the required rune can change. NOTE: If you die a grave will not appear.
 * 2) Search the painting on east wall to open up a small room with weights and thermometer.
 * 3) To open the electric door, search bookshelves until you hear a CLICK. From that bookshelf, follow the wire that faintly glows to find the next bookshelf to search. Repeat until the electric door opens. [[Image:Electric_door.PNG|thumb|163px|The electric door.]]
 * 4) Search the stairs once the door is unlocked. Beware of the spike traps that hit on 19 HP.
 * 5) Search the desk to obtain Movarios' notes volume 1. [[Image:Movarionotes.PNG|thumb|250px|Movario's notes]] Read the notes.
 * 6) Pick up the paper basket. Search the paper basket while it is in your inventory. You will find a Ruby key.
 * 7) Search the book case to the west of the trash can, then use the ruby key on it.
 * 8) Search the contraption.
 * 9) Climb the staircase that appears (it could also be possible that you will have to search the contraption)
 * 10) Search the bed.
 * 11) Dismantle the bed-chest trap.
 * 12) Use the key on the chest.
 * 13) Open the chest, then search the chest to obtain Strange key loop, Strange key teeth, and Movarios' notes volume 2. Read the notes.
 * 14)  Go back down to the wire room and then check the temperature gauge. It should say a number.
 * 15) * IE: "37" So this is what you do.
 * 16) * Your weight - Temp number = how much weight to put on statue.
 * 17) * Example 41kg - 37 ticket = 4kg so you put 4kg on the statue.
 * 18)  Go through the door next to the statue on the second floor.

Catching Lucien's spy

 * 1)  Find a way out and show Thaerisk Cemphier (The person in Taverly you talked to in the beginning) the Key Parts, Volume 1 and Volume 2. If you do not have all the notes in your inventory Cemphier will send you back to get more information.
 * 2) Thaerisk will ask you to spy on Lucien. Head to McGrubor's Wood. A cutscene with the Guardian of Armadyl will start.
 * 3) Kill all the Mercenary Axemen(Level 88) and attack the Mercenary Mage (Level 48). He will teleport, then search and talk to the wounded Guardian of Armadyl.[[Image:Mercenary_axemen.PNG|thumb|200px|The slaying of Armadyl followers]]
 * 4) The Guardian of Armadyl will ask you to find Idria in the arms of a forester. Go to the Seer's village pub upstairs, and talk to her.
 * 5) Teleport to Falador, talk to Sir Tiffy Cashien in the park, then go to the White Knights' Castle. Talk to Thaerisk Cemphier and Akrisae. They will give you a teleorb to put on Lucien's spy in Draynor Village.
 * 6) After you successfully plant the teleorb on the Shady stranger (Gloves of silence are helpful here), go back to Falador and talk to Thaerisk and Akrisae.  The spy will be teleported into the cell, and the truth serum will be brought in.  Oops! The serum is broken, and you will have to make another.

Making a super truth serum
After the cutscene ends, jump across the ledge to the snow encampment, and teleport to Falador.
 * 1) Go to Betty in the Port Sarim Rune Store, taking a lantern lens, a snapdragon seed (you can one buy from Thaerisk Cemphier) and 20 gp.  She will put the seed on the table and sell you a pink dye.  Use the dye on the lens and use the lens with the snapdragon seed - take the enchanted snapdragon seed. If you haven't already gotten it, Betty will offer to give you a regular truth serum when spoken to.
 * 2) Go back to Falador and talk to Akrisae.  Then, take a Seed dibber and plant the seed in the herb patch at the top of western stairs of the castle. Go talk to Idria, who is now by Akrisae in the White knights' castle.
 * 3) Idria will ask you to apprehend Lucien, with a small group (you need to recruit): Turael, Hazelmere, Duradel, Mazchna. See Slayer Master for extra help on locations.
 * 4) Return to Falador, and talk to Thaerisk, who tells you to collect the enriched snapdragon herb from the patch.
 * 5) Once you have the enriched snapdragon, mix it into your truth serum to make super truth serum. Go into the cell and use the serum on the shady stranger. Convince the captured spy to drink it. You will be given 3 options. The correct method varies by player. There is no penalty for choosing an incorrect option.
 * 6) He will reveal his master's identity to you, which you can sketch if you have some charcoal and papyrus.
 * 7) Give the sketch to Idria, and she will ask you to recruit four more heroes: Ghommal, Sloane, Harrallak Menarous, (all from the Warriors guild) and Cyrisus. Cyrisus may only be contacted by using the NPC Contact spell. (You MUST have lunar spells activated in order to contact Cyrisus.
 * 8) Return and speak to Idria, and then Akrisae. Akrisae will send you to find Silif, who is missing in action while following Dark Squall.
 * 9) Head to Black Knights' Fortress with an Unpowered Orb, Charge Air Orb runes, Bronze Med Helm, Iron Chainbody, and equipment for two combat styles (range and melee are recommended). Enter the fortress, push the wall north of the entrance, and head down the ladder.
 * 10) Search the tile with an orb marking on it then cast Charge Air Orb on it. A trap door will be revealed. Climb down the ladder. You will be attacked by numerous different Elite Black Guards, along with Dark Mages and Rangers. Dragonhide/Prayer Pots are recommended.
 * 11) Head north by jumping across the broken bridge, then east, and climb up the wall. At this point, kill the three elite black guards. You will need at least two combat styles to kill the guards, as they pray against whatever style you use. However, their prayer DOES run out after 30 seconds, and you can attack freely with whatever style you choose. You will receive an elite black armour set. Wear this, and nothing in the dungeon will be aggressive anymore. Head north, climb over the barricade, and head northwest. Continue until you reach a fork in the path, then head east.
 * 12) Talk to Silif. He will say that he needs a Restore potion and food.
 * 13) Head west to the fork in the path, and take the north path. Enter the north door.
 * 14) Search all the desks and wardrobes. You will find Dagon'hai robes, Elite Black armour, a Strange teleorb, a Lobster and a Restore potion. Search the key rack on the northern wall for a cell key.
 * 15) Return to Silif's cell, use the key on the door, and use the food on him. Afterward, use the Elite black armour on him. He will put on the armor and follow you.
 * 16) Return to room with Dark Squall. Lead Silif to the maps in the southwestern corner and talk to him. He will instruct you to plant a Teleorb on Dark Squall. He will give you the Teleorb; use it on Dark Squall. Dark Squall will catch you, and the guards in the room will become aggressive. He also reveals that he is Surok.
 * 17) Teleport to Falador, and talk to Akrisae. He will instruct you to wear the Dagon'hai robes. In case you did not find them in earlier in the quest, you will receive them now. The robes are needed to use the Strange teleorb and impersonate Surok. Take a teleport and accept his offer to teleport you to Surok's hideout. Make sure you have one Law rune and one Death rune in your inventory, or else the Strange teleorb will NOT work.
 * 18) Climb up the ladder in the northeastern corner, stand in the stone circle in the middle of the room, and activate the Strange teleorb. You will be teleported to Lucien's camp.
 * 19) Follow the northeastern path to the chapel and climb up the ice ladder. Jump across to the chapel.
 * 20) A cutscene will occur, where Lucien will appear. You will see him raising Undead Heroes from their graves; he will notice you and realize you are not Surok, and attack. Turael, Hazelmere, Duradel, Mazchna, Ghommal, Sloane, Harrallak, and Cyrisus will arrive to battle Lucien.
 * 21) Duradel, Turael, Hazelmere, Sloane, Cyrisus, and Ghommal will be slain.[[Image:Lucien_raises_Undead_heroes.PNG|180px|left|Lucien raising his army]][[Image:Heroes_arrive_to_battle_Lucien.PNG|200px|center|Slayers and other heroes arrive to battle]][[Image:Lucien_prepares_spell_of_destruction.PNG|200px|right|Facing off against Lucien]]

The Stone of Jas

 * 1) Talk to Akrisae, and he will inform you that Movario has been sucking. He will instruct you to impersonate Surok and to glean information from him.
 * 2) Go to the Tears of Guthix cavern with the Light creatures, and make sure to bring your Sapphire lantern. You will not need any items other than your Sapphire lantern and a Prayer potion if your Prayer level is low. Energy potions are highly recommended to save time.
 * 3) Talk to Movario. He will inform you that he believes there is a powerful artifact in the chasm below the Light creatures, but has no viable way to get there. Volunteer to go down there and explore for him.
 * 4) Attract a Light creature with your Sapphire lantern. He will cast his Blue Flame spell when you go down the chasm.
 * 5) When you land in the chasm, search all the skeletons for a Hammer, Chisel, Spade, Silver Sickle (b), and Druid pouch. Use the spade on the rocks with a "Search" option to uncover two smashed braziers. Afterward, use your chisel on the smashed braziers to uncover a Fire orb and an Earth orb. (These rocks are in the northeastern corner (where you arrive) and the northwestern corner.
 * 6) Go to the air and water braziers, and use the chisel on them to acquire an Air orb and Water orb (in the southwestern and southeastern corners).
 * 7) Afterwards, head south to the three Skull cavities on the southern wall. Examine the recessed blocks and use the respective orb on the recessed blocks to acquire the respective elemental key. Climb up the walls to reach the Water recessed block, which is next to the Stone Panel.
 * 8) Then, enter the nose cavities of the Skulls and insert the respective keys with the door locks. Only the Fire Key should be unused.
 * 9) Once this is done, exit the nose cavities and climb up the walls until you reach the skull that had the water recessed block. Use the Fire Key on the Stone Panel, then search the stone cube in front of the Skull and the third skull should open. Climb through to enter the Ancient Guthix Temple.
 * 10) There are eight statues in this temple. Each, when examined, will tell what type of potion must be "made" at that statue. Use your Druid Pouches on the Druid Spirit, whom will thank you for releasing them and then drop the ingredients for one of the needed potions. If you run out of Druid Pouches, you can Cast Bloom on the vines to receive Vine flowers. You need three vine flowers to fill your Druid Pouches. Use the herbs and the secondary ingredients on the statues in any order. For defence, energy, and strength, you will receive the ingredients for the super type of that potion. You will receive a dolmen from each.


 * 1) Use the dolmens on the Stone Table in the middle of the temple. It will open the Huge Door.
 * 2) Make whatever arrangements necessary to battle a Balance Elemental. It is level 454, and will use all three aspects of the combat triangle. It does a maximum of 30 damage per hit. It's magic attack also lowers combat stats so bring Super Restore pots.  It is similar to TzTok-Jad, but you will not receive warning when it switches attack styles.
 * 3) Once ready, touch the Mysterious Stone. A cutscene will appear, and you will learn that the stone is the Stone of Jas, an incredibly powerful artifact. Afterwards, the Balance Elemental will appear. Don't panic about this battle as it is rather simple; some people have slain the elemental without using food or potions. After you defeat the balance elemental, touch the Mysterious stone again.[[Image:Lvl255.png|right|A player's stats being boosted to 255 after touching the stone of Jas.]]
 * 4) This time, Movario and Darve will appear, and gloat over their find. Talk through all the options in order, and as you go through the options, they will be crossed out in red. Unexpectedly, however, Lucien will appear, and he will berate them for not informing him of their find. Talk through all the options in order with him also.
 * 5) Lucien will teleport the Stone of Jas away and summon two Tormented Demons. He will then teleport away, leaving you to fight the two demons.
 * 6) These will be easy to defeat as you will have been imbued with power by the Stone of Jas. Your combat stats will be boosted to 255, including Summoning but excluding Prayer.  You will need at least TWO different combat styles for this battle. Your hitpoints will always restore to 255 seconds after taking damage; you have infinite hp for this fight. [[Image:Tormented_Demon.JPG|right|thumb|Fighting a tormented demon.]]
 * 7) After you defeat the Tormented Demons, talk to Idria. She will commend you and teleport you to Falador.
 * 8) At Falador, talk to Idria again. She will compliment you, and give you a Ruined dragon armour lump, Ruined dragon armour shard or Ruined dragon armour slice that was dropped by one of the demons.
 * 9) Congratulations! Quest complete!
