Dream Mentor

Dream Mentor is the 125th quest.

Helping the fallen man
Travel to Lunar Isle. Changing spellbooks to the lunar set may help, as will carrying runes to teleport back to the bank.


 * Travel northeast from the bank and go down the mine, then crawl through the passageway to reach the fallen man. You can talk to him and inspect him. The inspect option opens a status screen. Note : If you didn't bring enough food, you have to run back to the bank, to make it faster and safer you should use level 69 lunar spell MoonClan Teleport

Note: The outfit is usually based on your highest type of combat (i.e. melee, ranged, magic) The most common set if your highest combat skill is:
 * He will need you to increase 3 stat bars, in this order - health, spirit, and armour
 * To feed him you should take 3 kinds of food, it doesn't matter what food, sharks aren't better than tomatoes. Take 7 pieces of two kinds and 6 of the third. Use the food on Cyrisus to feed him, if he refuses it, just give him a different kind of food. Note: you can use one type of food by logging out every time you fed him. Using sacks or baskets of farm produce is a good idea.
 * Increasing his spirit is done by talking to him - it is a little hit and miss, but just try to choose the most positive things. This part is long, but no dire consequences if you get it wrong.
 * For armour, go to the bank on Lunar Isle and talk to the most right banker 'bird's eye' Jack. Tell him you want to access Cyrisus's bank account, from there select a helmet, top, legs, boots, and weapon. It is guess and check whether or not you got it right. The easiest way to check is using the level 67 lunar spell NPC Contact to ask Cyrisus whether you chose right. It may take several tries but eventually he will tell you your choice is just right, take that set to him in the cave.
 * Melee is a Dragon med helm, Ahrims robe top and robe skirt, ranger boots and an abyssal whip.
 * Ranged is a ranger hat, karil's leathertop, black dragonhide chaps, ranger or adamant boots, and a magic shortbow.
 * Magic is a splitbark helm, Ahrims robe top and robe skirt, infinity boots, and an ancient staff.

Making the potion

 * Head south to the Oneiromancer, who is on the southeast of the island near the Astral Altar. Talk to her and Cyrisus will appear.  The Oneiromancer will suggest going into dreamland together to solve Cyrisus' fear of combat.
 * The Oneiromancer will give you a special vial. Fill this with water.
 * You need to obtain some goutweed, either by growing a goutweed tuber, or by stealing it from the troll kitchens during Eadgar's Ruse quest.
 * If you choose to steal from the Troll Stronghold, you will need run energy for sure, and likely plenty of food or protect from range. There are three points to hide. You can see the two obvious ones. They are "U" shaped. Get to one, wait for your moment then get to the other. South east of the second hiding spot you will see one empty space at the south of that row of boxes. It looks like either of those two trolls will see you, but they do not. Once in there it is easy to spot your opening. Grab the weed and get booted out, and let's hope we never have to do THAT again. You could also try running directly to the crate and hoping you're lucky and don't get caught.
 * Use the goutweed with the vial.
 * Use a hammer with an astral rune and then use a pestle and mortar on the result, add this to the potion to get a shared dream potion.

The Battles
Note: Do not wait till you are almost dead to run to lectern. If you choose to run do so when you have at least 30 hitpoints when on the first monster. Its range may still kill you outside.
 * Head back to Lunar Isle. Cyrisus will be waiting you at the dream hall.
 * Bank and prepare for a hard fight. Prayer is not allowed in the following fights, so stocking up with high-quality food such as sharks or Tuna potatoes is recommended.  Good armour and a weapon is also essential.  It is strongly suggested that you use melee.  You will need a tinderbox to light the brazier, the dream potion, and lots of food.  If you sip from a super set before entering dreamland, your stats are retained. Do not take any armour and/or weapons you are not prepared to lose.
 * Light the brazier and talk to Cyrisus to enter the dream state.
 * You will enter his dream world, here you will have to fight many high level monsters in a row, without prayer. The first form can use magic but won't do so when you melee it, so it is recommended to kill all the monsters with melee combat.
 * The second and third monsters may be fought with a halberd. Safe spots exist beside the lectern.
 * You can escape the dream world during the battle by using the lectern at the northern end of the room. Teleports are not allowed so this is the only possible escape.
 * During the fight, a bar will appear at the top of the screen, showing Cyrisus' courage. It fills up as the player damages the monsters. As it rises, Cyrisus will occasionally cast Vengeance Other on the player, and when the bar is full, Cyrisus will deal some damage to the monsters.



Note: You'll still need to attack it manually if you eat or drink a potion.
 * The first monster is a level 343 named "The Inadequacy", who during the battle summons many little creatures called "A Doubt" (Level 78s). This is unquestionably the hardest battle, and if you can make it through this one, the rest should be comparably easy. Note: Using a poisoned Dragon dagger is very effective against this one. Concentrate on The Inadequacy; don't try to kill little creatures.  Set auto-retaliate to off to avoid fighting the beings he summons.


 * Now you can use a safe spot. Place your character right beside the lectern and the second and third monsters will not be able to attack you. This is a good time to use a halberd.

Note: As of lately, many Quest related safespots have been removed along with the use of the cannon to beat bosses. This safespot may no longer exist.

Note: Iban's blast is very effective against all the monsters, more so on the last 3 then the first.


 * The second monster is a level 223 called "The Everlasting." This should be much easier than The Inadequacy, but you should still take extreme caution.


 * The third monster is easier, still, at level 274, "The Untouchable" should be much easier than the first form. However, it can still do high damage, so take caution.  It has high defence and is non aggressive.  Therefore, you should attack it as soon as you can to ensure that it won't escape.


 * The fourth monster, The Illusive will appear and disappear regularly during this battle.  Run after it and hit it, then run back to Cyrisus before it appears again. Being in the middle of the room each time should make it easier to spot its new location. It is similar in combat conditions to a Giant Mole, except that it does not run so far and rarely hits back.



Finishing Up

 * Travel back to the Oneiromancer on the southeast of Lunar Isle. Both she and Cyrisus will be waiting, talk to the Oneiromancer to complete the quest.

Reward

 * 10 000 Magic experience
 * Dreamy lamp which will give you 15 000 experience in a combat skill of your choice apart from Attack, Prayer and Summoning
 * 7 New spells added to your Lunar Spells book

Trivia

 * On the day of release if you clicked to see the rewards of the quest it said "Spoilers? On the day of release? Tell him he's dreaming!", an allusion to the Australian movie 'The Castle', instead of the usual message.
 * Surprisingly, Cyrisus seems to be extremely rich, having the normal armour set of the many high leveled players in RuneScape.
 * While Cyrisus seems to be afraid of combat, implying that he has never engaged in combat, he is level 126, indicating maximum combat stats. This was explained in Postbag from the Hedge, in which Cyrisus admitted he got this strong by doing nothing but killing 300 chickens a day for 30 years.
 * Cyrisus explains that he can make rune plates, grow spirit trees and make summer pies. Another reference to a high level player in Runescape.
 * Dream Mentor is the first quest with a combat level requirement. Earlier quests only have single skill level requirements.
 * When you use purple sweets on Cyrisus he will say "sweets? You do know they rot your teeth?"
 * When you use a nightshade on Cyrisus, you will get the following message: "How evil! Are you trying to kill him?"
 * After the quest, you can contact Cyrisus via the NPC Contact lunar spell. He cycles between four tasks
 * Killing TzTok-Jad
 * Killing the Kalphite Queen, joined by some of the slayer masters.
 * A top secret meeting between the rulers of runescape.
 * Player-killing in the wilderness.
 * Both of the Lunar Quests have had their official difficulty level increased shortly after release. Lunar Diplomacy was released as a Intermediate Quest, and was changed to an Experienced Quest. Dream Mentor was released as an Experienced Quest, and was changed to a Master Quest.
