Legends' Quest

Walkthrough
This is one of the hardest quests in RuneScape, though not as hard as Recipe for Disaster or Desert Treasure. While those quests are harder to complete, this one is quite hard to build the requirements for and it is very long. Alternatively, skill boosts such as Spicy stew can be used for most of the requirements, if not all. Once a player has met all the requirements, though, it's time to do the quest. Remember, the way to leave Shilo Village on foot is to go out both front gates (Past the Undead Ones) and search the cart.

Getting Started

 * Talk to the guards just outside the Legends' Guild (Fairy Ring BLR). If they think players are worthy, they'll send them through the gates to talk to Radimus Erkle to get their assignment.
 * Radimus gives the player some notes, listing a few tasks to do:
 * Complete the map of the Kharazi Jungle.
 * Meet up with the local friendly natives.
 * Bring a gift from the jungle locals to be displayed in the guild.
 * Before leaving, grab a machete from the cupboard and at least 3 papyrus from the desk. (Both of these can be bought from the general store in Shilo Village too, but these are free.)


 * Note: If players stand outside the guild, they can see two Radimus Erkles at the same time.

Mapping the Jungle


Items to complete this part of the quest: Radimus notes, machete, hatchet, 3-5 papyrus, 2-3 Charcoal. Armour, weapons, and food may be useful due to some aggressive level 64 wolves. Players need a crafting level of 50 to draw the map. The general store in Shilo Village sells charcoal and papyrus if players need to buy some before leaving for the jungle. A vial of antipoison is suggested, but not truly needed.

Go to Karamja. Suggested methods:


 * Take a boat for 30 coins (less with discounts) from Ardougne
 * Use a Fairy ring
 * Code CKR to south of Tai Bwo Wannai
 * Code BJR to the Fisher Realm (requires Holy Grail)
 * Code BLP to the TzHaar City inside the volcano
 * Use Amulet of glory teleport to Brimhaven
 * Cross the sea on an Ogre Boat Ride from Feldip Hills (requires Recipe for Disaster - Freeing Skrach Uglogwee); the fare is two chompies
 * Use Gnome glider; use a Spirit tree to get to the Grand Tree

Optionally take the Shilo Village cart from Brimhaven to Shilo Village for 10 coins. Players get one last chance to buy some charcoal and at least three sheets of papyrus from general stores in Shilo Village if they still haven't brought any with them.




 * 1–4 entrances to the jungle
 * 5 cave entrance
 * 6 holy water
 * 7 totem
 * red lines show areas


 * To get into the Kharazi Jungle, cut through the overgrown jungle vegetation using a hatchet and machete.
 * The fastest way through is either the western or eastern edge of the jungle (marked 1 and 4 on the map, above), depending on the travel method chosen.


 * Make each section of the map by right-clicking Radimus notes and choose Complete Radimus Notes in each part of the jungle (west, centre, and east). It is possible to fail, destroying one papyrus and one charcoal, so bring spares.

Contacting the Locals


Items to complete this part of the quest: Radimus notes, machete, and hatchet.


 * Head back out of the jungle, and ask any of the Jungle Foresters who wander the edge of the jungle if they have seen any natives. Offer to trade for the item which calls them, then use the completed Radimus notes on the forester. The player gets a Bull roarer.
 * Go into the jungle and swing the bull roarer to call a local named Gujuo.
 * Players should tell Gujuo that they wish to make friends with the jungle locals. He tells players about his tribe and its totem pole.
 * His tribe needs help because his tribe's shaman, Ungadulu, who has the special Yommi tree seeds to make a new totem pole, is trapped in caves in the Kharazi jungle. Agree to release Ungadulu.
 * Toward the north-west edge of the jungle are three rocks that form a triangle (marked 5 on the map, above). Search one of the rocks to crawl through a narrow opening to get into the cave (50 agility required). Failing this action damages players for 50 lifepoints, and players must try it again.




 * 1 Ungadulu
 * 2 Bookshelf
 * 3 Old gate
 * 4 Death Wings
 * 5 Jagged Wall
 * 6 Marked Wall
 * 7 Old gate
 * 8 Winch


 * O = Cut Opal goes here
 * J = Cut Jade goes here
 * T = Cut Topaz goes here
 * S = Cut Sapphire goes here
 * D = Cut Diamond goes here
 * R = Cut Ruby goes here
 * E = Cut Emerald goes here


 * Investigate the flame wall to talk to the shaman. He tells the player that only pure water can quench the flames. But he looks a little strange.
 * Search the items in the cave to find notes from Ungadulu. Search the crate to find the Scrawled note; search the table to find A scribbled note; and search the bed to find the Scrumpled note. The notes provide a hint to what has happened to Ungadulu.

Pure Water


Items to complete this part of the quest: Hammer, 2 (or more) Gold bars, Radimus notes, Bull roarer, Hatchet, Machete, and Pickaxe


 * Once back outside the cave, call Gujuo with the bull roarer. He tells of a pool of sacred water in the middle of the jungle. The water can only be carried in a special vessel that he sketches for the player.
 * Take a hammer and at least two gold bars to any anvil. The closest is in Safta Doc's hut north of Tai Bwo Wannai. Try to make the gold bowl. It is possible to fail, so to be safe bring more than two bars. Remember: the way to leave Shilo Village on foot is to go out both front gates (Past the Undead Ones) and search the cart.
 * All the required gems can be mined in north-west Shilo Village. If needed, the chisel to cut them can be bought at the general store. If players haven't mined and cut them yet, they can mine and cut them now.
 * Head back into the jungle and call Gujuo. He helps to bless the gold bowl so that it can carry the pure water. It is possible to fail, costing 5 prayer points with each failure. If players fall below 42 prayer points, Gujuo no longer helps players until they restore prayer points to at least 42.
 * With the Blessed gold bowl, go to the pool of pure water in the middle of the jungle (marked 6 on the map of the jungle, above).
 * Use the machete on the reeds by the edge of the pool to obtain some hollow reeds. Use them to siphon the water into the bowl.
 * The water evaporates in the jungle heat, so players must probably return to fill the bowl again before the coming fight.

Exploring the Shaman's Cave


Items to complete this part of the quest: Lockpick (possibly several), Pickaxe, Cut gems: Opal, Jade, Red topaz, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby and Diamond, and Runes to spell SMELL (soul, mind, earth, 2 law runes for the English version), LEBEN (for the German Version), or FATAL (for the Brazilian Portuguese version). (If restocking after the gathering of the water, a hatchet and machete are needed).


 * Go back to the cave and notice there's a crevice hidden behind one of the bookshelves.
 * Squeeze through the crevice and cross the cavern to the large Ancient Gate.
 * Search the gate to pick the lock. Failure causes the lockpick to break, so be sure to bring extras, as the door cannot be picked without one. A Hair clip can be used instead of a lockpick.
 * Next use the pickaxe and Mining to "smash-to-bits" the boulders to a second Ancient Gate. Failure damages Mining level temporarily. (Level 52 Mining is required to smash the rocks.)
 * Force open the second Ancient Gate using Strength. Failure damages Strength level temporarily. (Level 50 Strength is required to open the door.)
 * Beyond the door are level 83 Deathwings. Killing one accomplishes a hard task in the Karamja Diary, but it is not necessary to finish the quest.
 * Run further into the cave, and jump over the low, jagged wall. Failure results in 60 damage.
 * On the south-west wall of the cavern is a Marked wall. Search this spot to learn the runes to get through the wall.
 * For English, use in order the SMELL runes Soul, Mind, Earth, Law, and Law runes on the wall.
 * For German, use in order the LEBEN ('life') runes Air, Earth, Blood, Earth, and Nature.
 * Walk through the door into a large cavern. The next puzzle is composed of a number of stalagmites sitting in pools of water. Examine one of the stalagmites to see the riddle. Use the gems on each stalagmite. Facing north-west, the order of the gems by value is: opal, jade, topaz, and sapphire down the right column, then emerald, ruby, and diamond down the left column. (See map insert for layout.)
 * When all of the gems are in place, the player is levitated to the centre of the cavern and treated to a light show that leaves behind the Book of Binding. (If players log out during the light show, they need to search the stalagmites to restart it.)
 * This book enables players to bless vials. Filling blessed vials with pure water from the Blessed gold bowl makes vials of Holy water, a stackable ranged projectile useful for fighting demons.
 * Exit the cave.

Fighting the Demon


Items to complete this part of the quest: Blessed gold bowl filled with pure water, Radimus notes, Book of Binding. Silverlight/Darklight and vials of Holy water may be helpful. If using prayer for the fight prayer potions are a must.


 * If required, go back to the bank and resupply.
 * Use the pure water on the fire wall to step through without damage.
 * Use the Book of Binding on Ungadulu to release the demon Nezikchened.
 * The demon is level 187 and drains prayer. Prayer is drained at the beginning of the battle to the sum of the digits of the prayer level before being drained. (For example, 54 after being drained would be 9.)
 * The demon casts a Fire Blast just before dying, so players should keep their LP up so that he doesn't kill them with his last-ditch attack.
 * Players can lower his stats by hitting him with Silverlight or Darklight (melee) or by throwing Holy water at him (ranged). Players with lower combat levels should use both methods in the beginning of the battle.
 * If the battle takes too long, the demon vanishes, and players must begin again by using the book on Ungadulu.
 * Once the demon is defeated, talk to Ungadulu, who thanks the player with some Yommi tree seeds.
 * If players accidentally attack Ungadulu, he hits them to the wall and deals between 80 and 160 life points damage.
 * Ask him how to get out. He casts a spell to let players walk through the flames. (to do this, right click and use the option "touch firewall")

Replenishing the Pure Water


Items to complete this part of the quest: A Vial of water, Blessed Golden Bowl, Yommi tree seeds, Radimus notes, Machete, Hatchet, a Lockpick (possibly several), Pickaxe, Bull roarer, Rope, an Unpowered orb (possibly several), runes to cast any Charge Orb spell (an Elemental staff may substitute for runes). Arms and supplies, including a Prayer potion, for the second battle would be helpful.


 * Use the seeds on the bowl, if there is any water remaining in it after possibly making Holy water and walking through the fire.
 * Go to the pure water pool and try to refill the bowl.
 * The saplings must be watered after they're planted, so players shouldn't try to plant them unless they can refill the bowl.
 * If players can refill the bowl without the pool going dry, then they can skip to later in the quest.
 * After a small time, it may look like the pool is replenished, but it isn't. Attempting to refill the bowl again should demonstrate this.
 * Call Gujuo. He says that the underground source has probably been blocked off by some evil spirit. He also says that the underground source is a very scary place, guarded by undead adventurers who have sought it before. Players need a potion of bravery made from Ardrigal and Snake weed. Players have already found these herbs during the Jungle Potion quest.
 * Collect the herbs and mix them into a vial of water for a Bravery potion, which is consumed in 1 dose.
 * Go back to Ungadulu's cave, talk to him, and then go through all the same areas behind the bookcase as before. This time, when players reach the area with the seven pools, no runes are needed.
 * Go to the north part of the chamber, where another door is. Search it to read the riddle, if desired. Cast any Charge Orb spell on the door to go through it. (Players must be on the standard spellbook.) If the spell fails to open the door, try again.
 * Beyond the door is a room with several barrels in it. Ignore the barrels for now.
 * Players can smash the barrels to obtain several Dark Daggers, fish (raw or cooked, noted), ores (noted), logs (noted), food, rope, rocks, weapons, potions, coins, metal bars, runes, caskets, Paramaya tickets, half a meat pie, or probably a lot of other things not listed here. A player may also be attacked by a Death Wing.
 * If a barrel contains nothing, splinters damage a player's life points.
 * There is also a chance that players could hit a barrel at the wrong angle and lower their Attack a few levels temporarily.
 * Use a rope on the winch, drink the bravery potion, and climb down the rope.
 * If the rope "disappears" before players can climb down, they can just search the winch to "find" it attached again.
 * It is possible that players may slip off the rope and fall, taking up to 180 points of damage.


 * 1 rope and blue hat
 * 2 strange monsters
 * 3 furnace
 * 4 dragon's eye
 * 5 Shimmering Field
 * 6 Echned Zekin


 * Players should find themselves on the top of a long, winding ridge with several obstacles on it. Nearby is a blue hat. Attempting to take it invokes the skeletal apparition of Viyeldi, who gives players some clues about what is to come.
 * Climb over the rocky ledges using Agility to get to the bottom of the ridge. Failure results in one of:
 * Falling off the ridge completely and taking up to 400 points of damage
 * Slipping off just that one obstacle for less damage, but taking a temporary reduction in Agility level, making it more likely that players fail subsequent obstacles.
 * At the bottom of the ridge, players must defeat three spectral monsters named Ranalph Devere (level 92), Irvig Senay (level 100), and San Tojalon (level 106). Using Protect from Melee makes the battles fairly easy. Talk to each one to fight him. Once players have beaten them, they won't attack again. Among them they drop a Lump of crystal, a Chunk of crystal, and a Hunk of crystal.
 * Take the pieces of crystal to the furnace in the north-east part of the chamber. Use each one on the furnace to make the Heart crystal (requires 50 crafting). "Look-at" the Heart crystal to hear the clue, "Bring life to the dragon's eye."
 * Notice on the minimap that the area looks like the head of a dragon. Go to where the eye is. Use the crystal on a mossy rock there to activate the crystal.
 * On the south side of the chamber is a magical barrier which the crystal can now open when players put the crystal in the heart-shaped recess to the left of the barrier. On the other side of the barrier are Lesser demons and beyond them is the source of the pure water.

Choose a Path



 * There are three boulders blocking the water flow. Try to push one, and a spirit named Echned Zekin appears. He says he's being tortured and begs the player to help him by killing Viyeldi.
 * Players may notice that "Echned Zekin" is an anagram of "Nezikchened." Players may also notice that Echned Zekin uses the same design as the myserious shades in Daemonheim. It also has a combat level of 187, which is the same as Nezikchened, though he cannot be attacked in his ghost form.
 * Agree to help. He gives the player a dark dagger.

At this point, there are two paths the player can choose.


 * The Short and Hard Path
 * This path involves complying with Echned Zekin's request. It takes a shorter time to complete because players do not need to exit the dungeon. However, it makes the combat at the end of the quest harder, as players must fight Viyeldi's 3 undead guardians again.
 * Go back to the ridge and walk back up to the very top. The blue wizard hat is Viyeldi, whom players may have met on the way in. Stab him with the dagger.
 * Return to the cave with Echned Zekin. Push a boulder to get him to appear.
 * Tell him that Viyeldi is dead. He reveals himself to be Nezikchened and attacks the player, draining the player's prayer.


 * The Long and Easy Path
 * This path involves reneging on the agreement with Echned Zekin. It takes a longer amount of time to complete, because players must exit the caves. However, the combat at the end is only against the demon, not the guardians as well.
 * Ignore the previous agreement. Instead, leave the cave. If necessary, go to a bank and get another unpowered orb, grab runes for the charge orb spell, and restock food and potions.
 * Return to Ungadulu and talk to him. Use the dagger on him, and he takes it. He recognises the evil in the dagger and uses it to create the Holy force, which he gives to the player.
 * Return to the cave with Echned Zekin. Push a boulder to get him to appear.
 * Use the Holy force. He reveals himself to be Nezikchened and attacks the player, but doesn't drain prayer.

Fight the Demon Again

 * Nezikchened begins with magic attacks, but switches to melee. At one point, he throws a dark dagger at the player, which may hit for up to 180 life points. Players may dodge the dagger, also, but there is no way to control whether it hits or misses.
 * After defeating him, push the boulders out of the way of the water's flow. The boulders roll back after a short while. Nevertheless, the flow is unblocked.
 * Then, get out from the cave and go back to the jungle.

Restoring the Totem


Items to complete this part of the quest: Radimus notes, Bull roarer, Yommi tree seeds, Golden bowl, machete, and hatchet (rune or better). Arms and supplies, including a Prayer potion, for the third battle would be helpful.


 * Fill the bowl from the restored pool. If necessary, use the seeds on the bowl to make them germinate into saplings, then fill the bowl again.
 * Use the bull roarer to call Gujuo. He tells the player what to do next to make a new totem.
 * At this point, the wolves can be prevent players from completing the totem. It's a good idea to kill the one north-west of the pool before proceeding. The next few steps should be complete before it respawns. Everything happens very quickly until the totem is complete.
 * Plant a sapling in the fertile soil just north-west of the pool. It's a brown spot, bare of vegetation. Water the sapling with pure water to make it grow.
 * Stay alert. Once the tree gets to full size, players must immediately chop it down and shape it. If the tree rots (which also happens quickly) before or after it's cut down, players get only regular logs, not a new totem. There are three saplings, so there are three chances to get it right.
 * Chop down the tree when it's big enough. Keep chopping after it's down until it becomes a Yommi totem. The first click chops down the tree. Three more clicks shape it. It's done when the default action is Lift. Players must "use" their hatchet on the tree from inventory, not wield it.

The Final Battle



 * Find any of the locations where there's an old, brown totem. One is located just east of the pool, but there are some all over the forest.
 * After finding one, make preparations for the last fight.
 * Players who chose the long, easy path should turn on Protect from Melee, then use the new Yommi totem on the old one. The demon appears and attacks the player.
 * Players who chose the short, hard path can just use the new Yommi totem on the old one at this point. They must fight the three guardians first, one at a time, from the lowest-levelled to the highest-levelled. Players should then turn on Protect from Melee before the demon appears, if they hadn't already turned it on for fighting the guardians. The demon appears after the three guardians are defeated.
 * The demon gets several free blows before players can respond. This lag is intended and can result in a swift death, especially for lower-levelled players. Once again, the demon drains prayer. He attacks with melee and magic, which is more effective this time.
 * Using ranged, magic, or a halberd from between the trees with the Protect from Magic prayer activated allows players to defeat him without risking health. Many players, however, have reported that the demon does not even attempt a magic attack during close-up melee, so Protect from Melee should be sufficient in that case.
 * NOTE: If you die, you will receive a grave; however, you must get the Radimus Notes again in order to re-enter the jungle.

Finishing Up

 * When Nezikchened falls for the last time, use the new totem on the evil totem again. Gujuo appears and rewards the player with a Gilded totem.
 * Go back to the guild with the Radimus notes (which players completed) and the gilded totem.
 * Talk to Radimus Erkle in his office to give them to him. He wants to meet the player in the main hall.
 * Go to the main hall and talk to him again to be admitted into the Legends' Guild.

Congratulations, quest complete!

Tips

 * When fighting the demon, you can use safe spots to range, mage, or halberd it. One of the safe spots for fighting him the second time is prone to a Lesser Demon wandering into your safe spot, beware!
 * First safe spot: Behind the table. It might take you a while to get into position, so it is recommended you use prayer potions until you get into position. Exiting the octagon works too.
 * Second safe spot: Directly east from the most southern boulder. It is between the wall and a few stalagmites.
 * Third safe spot: Behind random bushes around the area. You can also use the totem east of the water pool.
 * You can do the quest with 39 herblore.
 * 39-40: Use Spicy Stews with 3 brown shakers.
 * 41-42: Use Spicy Stews with 2-3 brown shakers.
 * 43: Use Spicy Stews with 1-3 brown shakers or Greenman's ale(m)
 * 44: Use Spicy Stews with 1-3 brown shakers, or Greenman's Ale.
 * Spicy Stew is very random, so it is suggested you bring many brown spice shakers with you while you plant the Yommi seeds. If the stew does negatively affects your herblore, wait until it regenerates to your normal level. Then add 3 brown spices to another stew and repeat the process.
 * You can also do the quest with 44-49 agility. To do this, drink an agility potion/spicy stew/summer pie every time you need to enter the cave.
 * You can do the quest with 47-49 crafting if you use a Crafting potion to make the map, and when forging the heart in the furnace.
 * You can use a Dwarven Stout or a mature dwarven stout to raise your Smithing level by 1 or 2 respectively. This makes it possible to complete the quest with 48 smithing.
 * You can pick the lock to the door using only one lockpick without it breaking by walking away from the door when you receive the message that you failed to pick the lock. However, this point is probably a bug. Players are encouraged not to exploit bugs.
 * You can do the quest with only 47-49 thieving by drinking a Bandit's Brew sold in Bandit Camp. You should not wear anything of a god (wearing guthixian items is allowed) if you wish not to be attacked. Also you can use Winter (+1), Autumn (+2), and Summer (+3) Sq'irk juice glasses from the activity Sorceress's Garden, or 44 thieving with a lucky yellow spicy stew +6, also the Abyssal Stealth special move of an Abyssal lurker can temporarily increase one's thieving level by four (also their agility), (62 summoning needed also).

Trivia

 * This was the 50th and the last quest released on RuneScape Classic.
 * You can see the gilded totem pole in the guild before you place it in the guild.
 * There was once a glitch in the "Final Fight" where Nezikchened would spawn on top of the totem pole, and you would have to kill him twice. This first time you killed him he was unable to attack you.
 * Alert players may suspect that Echned Zekin is really Nezikchened because he is the same combat level and his name is scrambled (Echned Zekin is an anagram of Nezikchened).
 * In the first hours after release, there was a glitch allowing players to see Gujuo's combat level, shown as 1. This was fixed at the same day.
 * You can keep a Dark dagger by doing the drop trick even if you choose the easy path.
 * If you log out or lose connection before fighting Nezikchened the second time, he is still there, but if you attempt to fight him, you get a message saying 'He's not after you.' You are not able to attack him and he is not able to attack you, but he follows for a short time before disappearing.
 * The Rocky Ledges are the old mining rock design.
 * In the Price-checker, it shows that the topaz is worth more than the sapphire.
 * Before a hidden update, you didn't need to have completed the Legends' Quest to wield the dragon sq shield.
 * Upon the completion of this quest, one's Adventurer's Log reads: "To gain access to the Legends’ Guild, I explored the depths of the Kharazi Jungle and defeated the demon Nezikchened. The locals rewarded me with a totem pole."
 * It is possible to get several Dark Daggers without the drop trick. It is done by simply smashing the crates near the winch.
 * The magic requirement for starting this quest is 56, however, the requirement for Family Crest, a quest needed to start Legends' Quest, is 59.
