The Slug Menace

Starting Off
To begin, talk with Sir Tiffy Cashien in Falador. Along with his usual senile rantings, he'll tell you about the city of Witchhaven, which has had some rather strange goings-on recently. He'll tell you to check in with their local agent in Witchaven, Col. Jake O'Niall and upgrade your Commorb to a Commorb V2.

Witchaven
O'Niall sits on a rocking chair on the pier at the north east corner of town. Talk to him and he'll tell you that some of the people have been acting strangely recently, especially Mayor Eustace Hobb. Recently, he started looking rather sickly and working feverishly to restore the ancient, ruined shrine just west of town. (Between Witchaven and Ardougne.) Before leaving, ask O'Niall about who the important people in town are, and he'll point out Mayor Hobb, the priest Brother Maledict, and the fisherman who helped you with the Sea Slug Quest, Holgart.

Start off by heading to Mayor Hobb's house. It's the one at the north-west side of town. Talk to him and ask him all the options you can. Start to leave the house and Savant will stop you. She'll ask you to scan the mayor, so walk back inside and click on the Commorb to scan.

Once she's finished speaking, go to the church and talk to Brother Maledict. He'll mention that he's a bit worried about some of his congregation, who have begun to act a little bit strangely lately. After asking him all of the options available, walk a little bit north and talk to Holgart, who'll tell you that the Mayor recently took his boat and gave it to another man named Jeb, standing near by. He'll also mention that the Fishing Platform looks a little bit different than before. You can go look if you want, but it's not neccessary at this point.

The Shrine
Either way, report back to O'Niall again to tell him what you have found out so far. He'll suggest you go look into the shrine that the Mayor is so interested in. Walk a little ways west of town and climb down the ladder to get into the shrine in question. Once you're inside, look at the minimap. You can see a red portion of wall indicating where there's a false wall that can be pushed open. Do so, and you'll be let in to a new area. Inside are some aggressive level 45 giant lobsters in a winding tunnel. Walk through it or take the Agility shortcut to get to where there's an imposing door blocking your way. Try to open them, and Savant will contact the Commorb to tell you about the strange markings on the door. Scan them for her so she can get a better look. She can't read them, but she'll suggest you take them to Jorral to try to find out what they mean. Jorral lives just north of West Ardougne right along the outside of the wall. He's the one who starts the Making History quest. Before you go, make sure you grab the dead sea slug nearby. It will come in handy later.

The Pages
Now go talk to Jorral. After some coaching from Savant on what to say, Jorral will translate the message for you. As you leave the building again, Savant will contact you again to let you know just what this new revelation entails. Head back to Witchaven again and report in with O'Niall. He'll suggest you go talk to the priest and see if he knows anything about how to open the door. As you approach the church, you'll see a brief cutscene of the Mayor leaving the church and when you go in, the priest will be looking rather ill and acting strangely. Anyway, when you ask him about the door, he'll tell you that he has a book that might be of use, but the three most important pages are missing.

For the first one, go to the Mayor's house and look in his desk. The second one will be given to you by Ezekial Lovecraft, the owner of the fishing store when you talk to him. For the last one, go talk to O'Niall again. He too has taken the same look as the rest of the villagers. He'll give you the last page, but unfortunately, it has been ripped into three pieces.

Try to put the pieces together with swamp paste and Savant will stop you - the oily tar would ruin the paper. Instead, you should try to make a glue out of the slugs. Travel to the platform and talk to Bailey, the man on the first floor of the building. Give him the dead slug you got earlier from the shrine, and he'll give you the glue you need. (The live ones will bite you.) Now use the glue on the pages and a puzzle will pop up.

You can move the three pieces around using the buttons on the side, turn them, and even flip them over. The easiest way to tell if you've got them all on the right side is that one side is lighter than the other. It doesn't matter which way you have it, but the light side has an image on it. When you put the pieces in their correct place, the puzzle will close automatically. The picture will give you a general idea of how they should look.

The Imposing Door
Now to open the final door. To do the next part, you'll need to get your chisel and at least 5 rune or pure essence. Right click on each page and select the options to make the runes into the shape of air, water, fire, earth, and mind. It is possible to fail this and break a rune, and be careful not to use the chisel on the essence or you get fragments. Now you need to go to each of the odd shaped essences' respective altars and use them on them. Earth on the earth altar, fire on the fire altar, and so on.

When that's done, head back to Ardougne and prepare for a fight. Then, go down into the shrine again. Use each of the runes you made on the door to trigger another cutscene. After that, you'll have to fight a level 62 slug prince. It isn't that hard to kill, but the only trick is you can only use melee. Arrows and magic bounce right off of it. Once you kill it, you'll be treated to another cinematic, after which you'll be teleported to Falador park, just steps away from turning the quest in by talking to Sir Tiffy. Congratulations!
