Love Story

Love Story is the second quest in a series that involves the Wise Old Man of Draynor Village. It was announced in a Q&A and a Developer's Blog from 12 May 2010. Several things are revealed in this quest, such as why the Wise Old Man has his telescope pointing at the Wizards' Tower and more about the Draynor Bank Robbery.

Walkthrough

 * Talk to Mabel in the barn north-east of Draynor Village, and agree to help her find her ring.
 * Go upstairs and you will see the ring on a crate, but it is blocked by several haystacks. You must push the haystacks out of the way to get to the ring. You can push up to two haystacks at a time.
 * Once you retrieve the ring, go downstairs and talk to Zenevivia, who made Mabel hide in a sack. She will take the ring from you. She will challenge you and the Wise Old Man to a battle and teleport away.

Wise Old Man

 * Go to Draynor Village and talk to the Wise Old Man. A cutscene about Wise Old Man's lost love will ensue.
 * He will tell you to meet him outside, then he will follow you to Rimmington. You must go there on foot, if you teleport he won't follow you, although it is possible to cabbageport with him still following. Make sure you bring: a chisel, a mithril bar, a steel bar, 2 oak planks, good armour, food (sharks or rocktails), an anti-dragon shield and combat gear. Keep 2 open inventory spaces.
 * Go to the Rimmington portal, where the Wise Old Man will attempt to get into his old house. He will not be able to, and will tell you to meet him in a nearby house.
 * He will give you 100 house teleportation tablets and tell you to use a chisel with one to chip it. You will have to solve a puzzle to connect the bottom to the top of the tablet, going around dead spaces.

Zenevivia's house

 * Stand next to the Wise Old Man and use the chipped teleportation tablet. You will be teleported to Zenevivia's house. NOTE: The house is NOT SAFE. If you die, your gravestone will appear in Rimmington, outside the house portal, and you will arrive at your respawn point.
 * He will comment that she has redecorated, and note that you have to go through the dungeon to reach her. Tell him to go into the dungeon, and it will show a short cutscene of him getting injured.
 * He will tell you to build a clockwork mechanism in the workshop with the steel bar, and then direct you to make a mechanical dummy to put into the dungeon to disable the traps.
 * There is one trap in each room with a staircase, and two traps in every other room (except for the one with the pit scabarite in which there is only one trap.) Trigger all of these and return the dummy.
 * Go through the dungeon, killing each guardian monster along the way.

The final battle

 * Talk to Zenevivia and start the final battle. Attempt to kill her with the Wise Old Man. You will need melee and range as she teleports around on top of 4 statues. She makes flames appear on the square you are standing on, so you must move around to avoid being damaged by the flames.



Tips

 * Do not rely on the Wise Old Man to deal damage, because he does not hit often.
 * Keep Protect from Magic or Deflect Magic on, otherwise Zenevivia will use a Blood Barrage spell that can hit for over 400, though 200 is more typical.
 * If you pray against magic, Zenevivia will mainly use an area fire attack, similar to a Flame pit oubliette trap, that hits for rapid damage (20-50 per hit) while you remain in the area. A good tactic is to step out of the flames or run around them to prevent damage. This attack cannot be prayed against. Despite being a fire type attack, an anti-dragon shield will have no effect.
 * When she is on top of a statue, she will pray Protect from Magic if you attack with magic, and Protect from Missiles if you attack with range. If you stand next to the statue, she will kick you away, inflicting up to about 150 damage. She never prays against melee, so a good strategy is to attack with ranged, then switch to a halberd and attack from 2 squares away when she starts praying against ranged.
 * If you can't / don't use halberds, another tactic is to bring runes for any attack spell, and cast against her until she activates her Protect from Magic prayer. At that point, switch to ranged attacks. You can get 1 - 2 hits in on her before she changes prayer again.
 * Good melee fighters can finish the fight relatively quickly by standing between the statues while she is on a statue, and attacking with melee. This prevents her kicks from pushing you away, and allows you to keep attacking.
 * She will need to teleport to the 4 statues before she is "almost" dead, just eat and hold on.
 * If you teleport out during the fight, Zenevivia will be healed when you return. You will not have to fight the dungeon monsters again, or do the puzzle again. To return, use a chisel on a house teletab, then break it while standing next to the Wise Old Man, who will be back at Anja and Hengel's house in Rimmington.
 * Never run upstairs to escape her attack, or you will get multiple hits by Flames of Zamorak spell.

Robbing the Wizards' Tower

 * After you have defeated her, there will be a cutscene and they will return to Draynor Village.
 * From here they will plan to rob the Wizards' Tower to replenish their depleted supplies, and they tell you to watch from the telescope.
 * Go upstairs and look through the telescope, and watch them attack the tower. After defeating the other wizards, they are defeated by a giant familiar (a Thingummywut, summoned by the seemingly incompetent Traiborn, which you cannot see). Upon their return, ask for Mable's ring, and your reward will be given to you. Congratulations, quest complete!

Trivia

 * On the first day of release in the knowledge base, the rewards were covered by the message: The spoilers were left on a hay bale a few metres away. At time of writing, no adventurers were available to get them for us.
 * There is currently a glitch whereby if you attempt to chip a teleport tablet without the required magic level of 77, a message appears to tell you that a magic level of 72 is necessary to perform the task, even if your Magic level is beyond 72, the message will still appear.
 * If you speak to Anja or Hengel while in their house you can say "I'm with the Wise Old Man, who's downstairs," to which they will reply "Please don't let him hurt us!" The wise old man had previously claimed that it was a friends house.
 * At one point in the quest, Zenevivia makes a reference to Star Wars; she tells the player "Help me, *Player Name* you're my only hope." This was said by Princess Leia in the recording in episode four, A New Hope.
 * If you bring the supplies needed to create the dummy with you to the Wise Old Man's former house, he'll say "What? Why in the name of Saradomin's most bushy beard are you carrying that stuff around?"
 * The 698th, 699th and 700th music track (Love and Hate, Love Bites, and Love Lost) were released with this quest.
 * If you attempt to sit on throne while Wise Old Man and you are fighting with Zenevivia, Wise Old Man will tell you "I don't think we've got time to mess around, (Player's name)"
 * Wise Old Man casts his spell with attack speed of 6 (same as Abyssal Whip, Daggers, etc.) which is faster than player's spells.
 * If you asked Wise Old Man for his partyhat, Zenevivia will tell you "Borrowed items cannot be traded" as Wise Old Man lent his hat to her.
 * If you have a follower out when you speak to the Wise Old Man outside his house before going to Rimmington, he says "Hang on, I'm not following you to Rimmington while you've already got a follower. I don't join conga lines."
 * If you teleport out during the fight or go down the stairs, when you return Zenvivia will repeat her last line, with the word 'again' in brackets following it.
 * After completing the quest, the 'Quest complete' text in the Adventurer's Log reads: After a lot of fighting, I reunited the Wise Old Man with his lost love.
 * Once the Bank Guard's tree is chopped down, it never grows back.
 * Sometimes a glitch occurs when The Wise Old Man doesn't attack the Pit Monsters once you entered through the Pit Door. You may have to move around a little bit so he may attack.
 * Zenevivia speaks relatively informally for an NPC, saying things such as "Stop healing you noob!" and "Stuff Saradomin!".
 * The old level 3 gold Castle Wars armour can be seen inside Zenevivia's house.
 * Prior with this release, Wise Old Man was one of the few followers who runs while following you.
 * Even though you have defeated Zenvivia, you are unable to walk around her house.
 * In the cutscene where the Wise Old Man thinks back about his adventures, you can see him using Vengeance Other, Heal Other and a Water spell without using Spellbook Swap, while fighting the Kalphite Queen, which is impossible for a player character.
 * Zenevivia is seen using Ancient Magicks during her youth, but that is theoretically impossible, since it was only until years later that an adventurer (the player, while doing Desert Treasure) freed Azzanadra from his confinement and gained access to the Magicks. She must have therefore learned the spells from alternative sources.
 * While in the fight pits, the two players that Zeneviva and the Wise Old Man kill are called 'My Name Rocks' and 'L33T Pk3r'
 * When the player is about to enter Zeneviva's dungeon for the first time, the Wise Old Man mentions the potential for traps. The player will then have the chat option of 'Traps. Very dangerous. You go first.' This is a reference to a famous line in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark of the Indiana Jones series.
