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 released by Jagex. This quest is fairly difficult, and only those players with a considerable amount of experience can complete it.

Walkthrough
Player Warning: While on this Grandmaster quest, it is advised that you do not dispose of, drop, or destroy the Dagon'hai robes set or the Elite black knight armour. To obtain another set of robes, you need to get them as drop from Dagon'hai Monks or buy them from other players. The armour can also be bought from other players or eventually obtained from rare drops by Elite Black Knights in the dungeon of the Black Knights' Fortress.''

Legend's Guild
Items to bring: Games necklace, Varrock teleport, and either Ranged or Melee gear to kill two level 38s.

Optional items: Dramen staff or Lunar staff (to use Fairy ring BLR to go to the Legends' Guild); Ring of Duelling and a Log (to teleport to Castle Wars and then to use the nearby Balloon transport system to go to Taverley).

Talk to Radimus Erkle who is in the Legends' Guild northeast of Ardougne. He will send you to talk to Ivy Sophista in Taverley, allegedly to lead a mission into Karamja to establish a new temple to Guthix.

He tells you the pass phrase to say to Ivy: "Our friend in common places great faith in totems".

Taverley

 * 1) 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". The player will then inquire about the Karamja mission and Ivy with inform the player that the "Karamja mission" is actually something quite different.
 * 2) 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?"
 * 3) He will mention Movario, and sends you to talk to Reldo.

Varrock Library
Talk to Reldo, in the Varrock Library, about Movario.
 * Reldo says Movario speaks with a slight Khazard accent
 * Movario is interested in traps, housing improvements, and divination - "One thing 'No-Fingers McGrew' was reported to have said was 'solving the puzzle arms the trap'."
 * He reads the oldest documents in the archive, in old, barely decipherable languages
 * Reldo says, "Do I look like an expert tracker?", but suggests using "some jungle creatures that are able to take a scent and track it down." He says to "talk to some sort of jungle hunting expert on the matter."

Khazard/Movario's Base
Items to bring: Watchtower teleport, Mort myre fungus (given by the Hunting expert), Ardougne teleport, knife, logs, ring of charos (5,000 coins if you don't have one), one each of air, mind, water, earth, fire runes.

Optional items: Dramen or Lunar staff to use Fairy ring AKS (to go to the Feldip Jungle) and then DJP (to get near the Khazard Fight Arena via the Tower of Life).

Feldip Jungle

 * 1) Talk to the Hunting expert in Feldip Jungle. She will tell you to catch a Broav.
 * 2) Go to the pit just west then southwest of the Hunting expert. Build a pitfall trap using a log and a knife, then bait it with the Mort Myre Fungi given by her. A few seconds later, a Wild broav will appear and fall in the trap. You do not have to jump over the pit to lure the broav.
 * 3) Dismantle the trap to obtain an Unconscious broav in your inventory. Bring the Unconscious broav to the Hunting expert, who will then train it. The Unconscious broav becomes a Broav trained to track scents for you.

Khazard

 * 1) Go to laundry house just west of the Fight Arena with a Ring of Charos, and charm the Khazard launderer 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.
 * 2) Go to the Khazard Battleground south-west of Ardougne. Drop your Broav then use the clothes on him. He will lead you to a building with a broken table inside.  The door is locked, so climb over the broken wall nearby. Drop your Broav then use the clothes on him again. Search the table to find a trapdoor and go inside.
 * 3) Once inside, go through the door in front of you and head north along the curving path. Beware of the level 95 guards, who are aggressive. At the end of the path are some stairs. [[Image:Movario Locked Door.gif|100px|right]]
 * 4) Head downstairs to find a door that says "No Further Access." Downstairs you get the message: "You sense magical interference of the sort to disrupt teleportation."

====

Catching Lucien's spy
You may want to bring a weapon as well as teleports to Camelot and Falador for this part.
 * 1)  Find a way out and show Thaerisk Cemphier (the person in Taverley you talked to in the beginning) the Strange key loop, Strange key teeth, Movarios' notes volume 1 and Movarios' notes 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. Go to McGrubor's Wood.
 * 3) Head to the back of McGrubor's Wood and a cutscene will start. Lucien's minions are attacking the guardians and you've arrived in the middle of the battle.
 * 4) Kill all the Mercenary Axemen(Level 88) and attack the Mercenary Mage (Level 48). He will teleport. Search the dead mercenaries.  You find a damaged and bloodied Pendant of Lucien, but choose not to take it.  [[Image:Mercenary_axemen.PNG|thumb|200px|The slaying of Armadyl followers]]
 * 5) Talk to the wounded Guardian of Armadyl who will ask you to find Idria in the "arms of a forester," and then he falls unconscious.
 * 6) Go to the Seer's village pub, the Forester's Arms, and then go upstairs and talk to Idria.
 * 7) * Lucien is raising an army of undead heroes in the wilderness.
 * 8) * Lucien is somewhere in the north.
 * 9) * Lucien's spy network has infiltrated most of Misthalin.
 * 10) * The plan is to capture a spy in Draynor and interrogate him.
 * 11) Go to Falador, talk to Sir Tiffy Cashien in the park. He will send you to the White Knights' Castle.
 * 12) At the castle you find Thaerisk Cemphier (Guthix), Akrisae (Saradomin), and Idria (Armadyl) They are in the eastern room on the ground floor, by the jail cells.. They agree to put aside their differences and focus on defeating Lucien. They will give you a teleorb to put on one of Lucien's spies in Draynor Village.
 * 13) *Ask how to get to Draynor and Akrisae will offer to teleport you there.
 * 14) At Draynor Village, plant the teleorb on the Shady stranger wearing the white robes. The one wearing the green robes is too alert for you to place the teleorb on him. The one in white may also catch you and start fighting you. (If so, you can run away until he forgets or else fight him until he teleports away, in which case you must wait for him to respawn. If you have trouble planting the orb, try using Gloves of silence.
 * 15) 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.
 * 16) A cutscene shows a very clumsy attempt to administer the truth serum. Oops! The serum drops and breaks, and you will have to make another. He will send you to Betty in Port Sarim.

Making a Super Truth Serum and Recruiting a Party of Heroes

 * Items to bring: lantern lens, Snapdragon seed, 20 coins, Seed dibber.


 * 1) Thaerisk will teleport you to Port Sarim if asked. He will also sell you a snapdragon seed for 28,875 coins.
 * 2) Go to Betty in the Port Sarim rune shop, taking a lantern lens, a snapdragon seed, and 20 coins.
 * 3) Betty will put the seed on the counter table and sell you a pink dye for 20 coins.  Use the pink dye on the lens to obtain a rose-tinted lens. Then go stand just inside the doorway and use the lens with the snapdragon seed which will shine pink light onto the seed.  Search the counter and take the enriched snapdragon seed. If you haven't already gotten it, Betty will offer to give you a regular truth serum when spoken to.
 * 4) Go back to Falador and talk to Thaerisk.  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.
 * 5) Idria will then ask you to recruit four heroes to apprehend Lucien:
 * 6) Turael (Burthrope),
 * 7) Hazelmere (Fairy Code: CLS),
 * 8) Duradel (Shilo Village), and
 * 9) Mazchna (Canifis).
 * 10) See Slayer Master for extra help on locations. All except Hazelmere can be contacted with Lunar spell NPC Contact.

Questioning the Spy

 * Items to bring: regular truth serum, charcoal, papyrus


 * 1) Return to Falador, and talk to Thaerisk, who tells you to collect the enriched snapdragon herb from the patch. It will be fully grown when you pick it: you will not have to wait 70 minutes for it to grow.
 * 2) 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 (during this cutscene, Druid bodyguard makes an appearance). Convince the captured spy to drink it. You will be given 3 options. The correct method varies by player, and there is no penalty for choosing an incorrect option.
 * 3) He will reveal his master's identity to you, which you will sketch with your charcoal and papyrus to get a Suspect sketch.
 * 4) Give the sketch to Idria, and she will ask you to recruit four more heroes (first 3 from the Warriors guild):
 * 5) Ghommal outside front door,
 * 6) Sloane on 2nd level,
 * 7) Harrallak Menarous in lobby, and
 * 8) Cyrisus. (Cyrisus may only be contacted by using the NPC Contact spell. You MUST have lunar spells activated in order to contact him.)
 * 9) Return and speak to Idria, and then Akrisae. Akrisae will send you to find Silif, who is missing in action while following Dark Squall.

Into the Black Knight's Fortress

 * Items to bring: Unpowered orb, Charge Air Orb runes (30 airs and 3 cosmics), Bronze med helm, Iron chainbody, and equipment for two combat styles (Melee and Ranged recommended), teleport (preferably to Falador).
 * Inventory slots: To rescue Silif in one trip, you will need 13 empty inventory slots, assuming you are wearing armour (which is highly recommended for your protection). You can get by with fewer empty slots if you make two trips: You need 3 empty slots on the first trip to get your Elite black armour. Once obtained, teleport out and bank now-unneeded items. You then need 10 empty slots on the second trip. You can also get away with three less slots, for if you do not take the Dagon'hai robes you will receive a set later.


 * 1) Head to Black Knights' Fortress with all the items above. Equip the Bronze medium helm and Iron chainbody, and then enter the fortress.
 * 2) Push the wall north of the entrance and head down the ladder.
 * 3) Near the east wall, search the floor tile with an orb marking on it. Then cast Charge Air Orb on it (the unpowered orb will be used in the process), which reveals a trap door. Once the spell is cast, the trap door remains revealed, so future trips to this dungeon do not require an orb or runes for the spell.
 * 4) Climb down the ladder. You will be attacked by numerous different Elite black guard, along with Dark Mages and Rangers. Dragonhide armour together with Prayer Potions are recommended. Note : There is a safespot east of cave, before broken bridge, where player can kill easily a single elite black guard. (It is not necessary to kill a guard at this point.)
 * 5) Head north by jumping across the broken bridge, go east, and climb up the wall. At this point, kill the three elite black guards nearby. 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 approximately 30 seconds, and you will be able to attack freely with whatever style you choose. Each knight will drop a piece of Elite black armour. Equip the armour, and no one in the dungeon will be aggressive any more. (If you equip the armour while figting a foe in the dungeon, the foe will continue fighting. You can run away, and the foe will forget about fighting you.)
 * 6) Head north and jump over the barricade. (The barricade can be jumped at only one spot. If you have moved east of that spot, you can simply walk around the barricade to the north-east.
 * 7) Walk north-west from the barricade until you reach a fork in the path, then head east. You will reach a set of jail cells, one contains Silif.
 * 8) Talk to Silif. He is hurt and you realize he needs a Restore potion, food, and a way to escape. Do not teleport out: you can get the potion and food within the cave.
 * 9) Head west to the fork in the path, and take the north path. Enter the north door.
 * 10) Search all the desks and wardrobes in the room. You will find Dagon'hai robes, another set of Elite Black armour, a Strange teleorb, a Lobster and a Restore potion. Search the key rack on the northern wall for a cell key. (Dark Squall is in this room, usually in the eastern or central part. Ignore him. Also, do not attempt to climb the ladder in the eastern part of the room, as this is off limits. Attempting to climb it will turn the guards, rangers, and mages aggressive, in this room and elsewhere. If you do try to climb the ladder, you must exist the room through the door you originally entered and then re-enter the room to make the dungeon inhabitants not aggressive again.)
 * 11) Return to Silif's cell and enter by using the key on the door. Use the food on Silif and then the potion. Speak to him. He will put on the Elite black armour and follow you.
 * 12) Return to room with Dark Squall. Lead Silif to the maps in the south-western 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. You succeed, but Dark Squall recognizes you, reveals that he is Surok, and call on his minions to attack you. They become aggressive and will attack using melee, range, and mage. Escape (best is to teleport to Falador).

The capture of Surok and the heros' battle with Lucien

 * ''Items to bring: Strange teleorb, one Law rune, one Death rune, teleport (preferably to Falador)


 * 1) In Falador, talk to Akrisae. He will instruct you to impersonate Surok by wearing his robes. Wear the Dagon'hai robes. (If you did not obtain them in earlier in the quest, you will receive a set now.) The robes are also needed to use the Strange teleorb. Make sure you have one Law rune and one Death rune in your inventory, or else the strange teleorb will NOT work.
 * 2) When ready, enter the nearby jail cell. The teleorb you set on Surok will be used to imprison him here, and you will be teleported to Surok's hideout.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) * You find yourself in Lucien's camp near the God Wars Dungeon, the Chaos Temple (hut), and two beacons of the Beacon Network. A guard will talk to you.
 * 5) Follow the northeastern path towards the chapel and climb up the ice wall. Jump across to a ledge on the chapel.  (Remember where you land on the ledge, as this will be the only place from which you can jump back to the ice wall.)
 * 6) A cutscene will play. Lucien appears and raises undead heroes from their graves, some (in green) appearing to be the Barrows brothers and another seem to be Bork. Lucien then realizes you are not Surok and attacks with magic (which you dodge). When Hazelmere detects that you are in danger, he, Turael, Duradel, Mazchna, Ghommal, Sloane, Harrallak, and Cyrisus teleport in to battle Lucien and his undead.
 * 7) Duradel, Turael, Hazelmere, Sloane, Cyrisus, and Ghommal all are slain to no effect, as Lucien easily defeats all attacks on him and then teleports away to further pursue his plans.

You may also view the entire cutscene here.

After the cutscene ends, the guards on the ledge become aggressive. Jump from the chapel's ledge to the snow wall and teleport to Falador. (You cannot teleport from the chapel itself, since it is in level 38 Wilderness.)

The Stone of Jas
''Items to bring: Sapphire lantern (light it with a tinderbox if needed), a Prayer potion if your Prayer level is low. Energy potions or a familiar such as a Spirit terrorbird are highly recommended to save time.''
 * 1) Talk to Akrisae, and he will inform you that Movario has been moving. He will instruct you to impersonate Surok and to glean information from him.
 * 2) Go to the Tears of Guthix cavern where the Light creatures are, and make sure to bring your Sapphire lantern.
 * 3) Talk to Movario. He will inform you that he believes a powerful artifact is inside 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, and select the option "Into (not across!) the chasm".  He will cast his Blue Flame spell when you go down, which will enable the Light creature to reach the bottom.

Into the chasm

 * 1) When you land in the chasm, search the trhee nearby skeletons for a Hammer, Chisel, Spade, Silver Sickle (b), and six Druid pouches. Use the spade on the two rocks with a "Search" option to uncover two smashed braziers. Afterward, use your chisel on the smashed braziers to obtain a Fire orb and an Earth orb. These rocks are in the north-eastern corner (where you arrive) and the north-western corner.
 * 2) Go to the air and water braziers (they look similar to the burning braziers that provide light here but emit different coloured light). Use the chisel on them to acquire an Air orb and Water orb. These are in the south-western and south-eastern corners.
 * 3) Afterwards, head south until you reach three skull cavities on the southern wall. For each skull, examine its recessed block and use the respective orb on the block to acquire the respective elemental key. You will get air, earth, and fire keys.
 * 4) Climb up the walls to reach a fourth skull cavity, which is behind a stone cube. Use the water orb on the recessed block to acquire the water elemental key.
 * 5) Climb down. For each of the thre lower skulls, enter its nose cavity. (Summoning familiars cannot be brought into these cavities.) Crawl along the tunnel in each cavity to its end. Examine the door there and insert the respective key into the door lock. Crawl back through the tunnel and exit the skull.
 * 6) You will now have only the Fire Key left. Climb up the walls to the upper skull. Use the Fire Key on the skull's recessed block, then search the stone cube in front of the skull. The recessed block moves to reveal a cave opening in the fourth skull. Climb through to enter the Ancient Guthix Temple.

The Ancient Guthix Temple
Note
 * 1) There are eight statues in this temple. Each, when examined, will reveal what type of potion must be "made" at that statue. Use your druid pouches on the Druid Spirits which wander the area. Each will thank you for releasing them and then drop the ingredients for one of the needed potions. (Make sure you have enough inventory slots! You do not have to get all 16 ingredients before using any of them, so the minimum you need is two empty slots.) See the notes below for what to do if you start to run out of druid pouches.
 * 2) Use the herbs and the secondary ingredients on the statues in any order. For defence, energy, and strength, you MAY receive the ingredients for the super type of that potion. You will receive a Dolmen from each statue. You do not need the herblore level that would normally be required in making a potion to receive the dolmen.
 * 3) Any of the 8 potions may include:
 * Attack, Guam & Eye of newt
 * Strength(super), Kwuarm & limpwurt root
 * Combat, Harralander & Ground desert goat horn
 * Defense(super), Cadantine & White berries
 * Range, Dwarf weed & Wine of Zamorak
 * Hunter, Avantoe & Kebbit teeth dust
 * Magic, Lantadyme & Potato cactus
 * Restoration, Snapdragon & Red spiders' eggs
 * Energy, Harralander & Chocolate dust
 * Agility, Toadflax & Toad legs
 * Balance (Guthix Balance). Harralander, Red spiders' eggs, Garlic & Silver dust
 * Prayer Ranarr & Snape grass
 * Fishing Avantoe & Snape grass
 * The druids will drop the ingredients for each potion a single time only.
 * Be careful not to accidentally eat the toad's legs while at the agility statue, otherwise you will have to bring one yourself.
 * If you start to run out of druid pPouches, use the sickle's Cast Bloom ability on the vines to receive Vine flowers. You can refill the pouch with the flowers, with a set of three making three pouches.
 * If you have a Mort Myre Fungus in your inventory, it will fill your Druid Pouch as well so be cautious. The fungus will not be used if you have three flowers but will be used if you just have two flowers. For safety, you can drop the fungus, refill the pouch, and then pick up the fungus again (as long as you do not log out or take a lot of time before picking up the fungus).


 * 1) Use the dolmens on the Stone Table in the middle of the temple. It will open the huge door in front of it.

The Battle


''Make whatever arrangements necessary to battle a level 454 Balance Elemental that can use all three combat styles, lower your combat stats, and hit up to 30. You can leave the area to get supplies, but always bring your Sapphire Lantern.''
 * 1) 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 artefact.
 * 2) Afterwards, the Balance Elemental will appear.
 * 3) * It is level 454, and will use all three aspects of the combat triangle. It does a maximum of 30 damage per hit. Its magic attack also lowers combat stats so bring Super Restore pots. It is similar to TzTok-Jad (albeit not as nearly as hard), but you will not receive warning when it switches attack styles.  Don't panic about this battle as it is rather simple; some people have slain the elemental without using food or potions. An easy way to defeat it is to range or mage it from behind a pile of rubble, so it can only use its Ranged and Magic attacks.
 * 4) * The Balance Elemental seems to use a pattern in its attacks. It will almost always attack for three rounds with one attack style, use its magical stat-lowering attack, then repeat with the same or a different attack style.
 * 5) * The Balance Elemental will change appearance slightly depending on what attack it is going to use (besides its stat-lowering attack.) If it has a large, flaming bow in its left hand, it is ranging. When maging, it will have large water spikes on top of its head and no weapon. If it has neither of these characteristics, it is melee'ing.
 * 6) * The 16 December 2008 update upgraded the Balance Elemental: The Balance Elemental has become wise to your tricks, and will now fight as originally intended, varying his attack styles with your prayers. Make sure you're fully prepared before you attempt to engage this foe. It now has a long range melee attack similar to that of the Rock Golem random event, and it lowers all stats in a similar effect to Ahrim's set of barrows armour.
 * 7) *Several times while battling the elemental, it will stop attacking to talk to you. Its message takes up your chat box but it says nothing of importance. Basically it shouts bad puns/threats at you. If fighting from a distance, you will continue to attack it, thus closing the chat box.
 * 8) After you defeat the elemental, touch the Mysterious stone again.[[Image:Lvl255.png|right|A player's stats being boosted to 255 after touching the stone of Jas.]]
 * 9) 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.
 * 10) 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.
 * 11) *These will be pretty 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, just seconds after taking damage; you have infinite hp for this fight. You will defeat them fairly quickly, as the boost of 255 can allow you to hit well over 100. (You do receive exp proportional to the damage you inflict.) If you leave the battle, your stats will be reset; however, they will return to 255 when you return.[[Image:Tormented_Demon.JPG|right|thumb|Fighting a tormented demon.]]
 * 12) After you defeat the Tormented Demons, talk to Idria. She will commend you and teleport you to Falador.
 * 13) 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.
 * 14) Congratulations! Quest complete!

Epilogue
After choosing your experience rewards, you will view the "Elsewhere..." epilogue in which we learn something about the Dragonkin's return...

 * It is possible to unlock the mithril door upstairs in the Ancient Cavern by the Mithril dragons by using either a Strange key teeth or a Strange key loop on a Mithril dragon with both pieces of the key are in your inventory. This will fuse the pieces together into a Dragonkin key. Inside the mithril door are three hanging dragon heads and a giant orb in the center. Using Fire Wave on each head will cause fire to appear in their mouths and cause them to slide towards the orb in the center. Once the orb is lit, the player can return to the mysterious forge and will find it full of molten lava. It is here, using a Blast fusion hammer purchased from the Foreman at the Blast Furnace for 1,000,000 coins, that the player can fuse together the three parts of the Dragon platebody with Smithing level 92 (was level 99 when first released ). It will give 2 000 experience to make it.
 * A new pet, known as Broav.

Other

 * On the day of release, the spoiler read: The spoilers are concealed within the most challenging of puzzles, disguised by a rubric, and placed at the bottom of a perilous gorge. We may have the courage to recover them tomorrow.
 * At one point Lucien says "I am Lord Lucien of the Mahjarrat, Master of the Thousand Curses, look upon my work and despair!" This is a reference to Ozymandias, a sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley, which in turn references Ramesses the Great, a pharaoh of Egypt. The original quotation from the poem reads, "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
 * Before, during, and after the quest, wanted posters are put up all over Falador. The images on the posters seem to resemble the Dragonkin, that are coming back. [[Image:While_Guthix_Sleeps_Glitch.JPG|thumb|A player getting 82 [[Strength]] and being informed that it is a requirement for While Guthix Sleeps]][[Image:WLG Glitch.JPG|thumb|Another player getting 71 [[Attack]] and being informed that it is a requirement for While Guthix Sleeps]]
 * After this quest, statues of Turael, Duradel, Cyrisus, Hazelmere, Ghommal and Sloane will appear in various places around RuneScape, Including all 6 of their statues around the pond in Falador Garden.
 * Hazelmere's statue is currently (10 December 2008) the only of the 6 heroes' that does not stand at the entrance to the White Knights' Castle, although there is a spot for it.
 * The Black Elite Knights say "Curses! Zamorak has abandoned me!" after their prayer runs out, whilst they wield a sword similar to the Saradomin Sword. The Saradomin Sword is NOT a drop from Elite Black Knights
 * Prior to the release of this quest, the Armadyl communiqué was given to players which foretold players about this quest. It was given for those who sided with Guardians of Armadyl in Temple of Ikov quest.
 * Reldo: "...a thief by the name of 'Slick-Fingered McGrew' attempted to steal something from Movario. After his attempt, he was known as 'No-Fingered McGrew'!.". This could be a reference to the NPC "No-Fingers", one of the construction workers loitering outside the Tower of Life.
 * During the quest it is revealed Tureal (after his death) has a daughter and an unnamed spouse.
 * When some players achieve a certain level, it says that it is a requirement for While Guthix Sleeps when it is actually not. There is a possibility that this requirement is meant for entering the Warrior's Guild, since it is a requirement for the quest. It has not been confirmed.
 * At the fight at McGrubor's Woods, it is possible to kill all the mercenaries before they slay all of the standing Guardians of Armadyl. The player can talk to the surviving guardians after the fight, but only the wounded guardian lying on the ground will give useful information. However, when next talking to Idria in Seer's Village, the conversation assumes all guardian in the fight either died or will soon die of wounds.
 * The Broav can get stuck behind obstacles while following Movario's scent. Pick it up, move around the obstacle, put it down, and use the shirt on it again to get it to resume tracking.
