Devious Minds

Forging the sword
You start this quest by speaking to the monk at Paterdomus. He requires a bow-sword. To make this bow-sword, take a mithril 2h sword to Doric's house and use it on the whetstone (level 65 Smithing required) to make a slender blade. Then use it with a bowstring to make the bow-sword. You can get to Doric's house by taking the balloon south of the sawmill to Taverley using normal logs. His house is right east of the gate into the Member area.

Note: it is possible to use temporary boosts (dwarven stout, dwarven stout (m) or spicy stew) to reach the required Smithing level.

If using spicy stew, it is advised to be at least level 60 Smithing, as getting a +6 Smithing boost is rare.

Also, note that it is NOT possible to use the Assist System to make this item.

When you have made the bow-sword, you can use the Balloons to fly back to Varrock by using willow logs if you have already unlocked the Varrock destination. If not, bring ten willow logs instead of one. (This is incorrect. See note below.)

Making the delivery
Give the bow-sword to the Monk and he will ask you to make a "delivery" to Entrana: he will give you an orb, and ask you to take it to the church in Entrana.

'''(Please note:) The ONLY WAY to get to Entrana is through the Abyss. If you try the Ballons, or through the wharf, you will be cut off when they ask about the 'pouch' and it's contents.)'''

One way to do this is to hide the orb in a large pouch (thus creating a Large Pouch), then use the Abyss to reach the law altar (Bring a pickaxe/hatchet you're willing to lose, or be prepared to use one of the other abyss routes, or you can go through the'eyes'. Right click on them and select 'distract'), and finally exit the law altar using the portal to reach Entrana. You can get to Edgeville quickly by using the fairy ring on the other side of the river to the Edgeville ring with the code DKR.

Note: remember that you can't bring weapons or armour to Entrana, even through the Abyss. Since a pickaxe or hatchet can be wielded as a weapon, you will have to pick an abyss route that doesn't require them - using Agility, Thieving or Firemaking - or drop your item before you enter the law altar portal.

Note: Instead of using the Abyss you are able to use a Law altar teleport tablet obtainable by playing the Great Orb Project in the Runecrafting Guild. A law altar teleport tab requires 43 Runecrafting Guild tokens to purchase. Also: Make sure your large pouch is not degraded. If it is, you will be denied access into Entrana with the orb in the pouch. Talk to the dark mage in the Abyss to get it repaired. Walk to the church to the South, and use your large pouch on the altar. You will see a cutscene where some monks are walking toward the altar, one holding a mysterious Relic, and then a Ninja wielding the bow-sword teleports in the church, kills the monks and steals the relic! Also, you'll lose your Large Pouch as the teleport beacon inside it is destroyed. You'll have to get another one as it's not replaced during the quest.

Giving the news
While you're at the altar, you may want to recharge your prayer since it was drained when you entered the Abyss. Talk to the High Priest. He will tell you to return to the original monk at Paterdomus to investigate. Go back to Paterdomus to find a dead monk. (You can use the Balloons again to travel from Entrana to Varrock if you brought a willow log.)

Search him, then go to Entrana to talk to the High Priest again. (Again, you may use the Balloons with one regular log.) He will ask you to inform Sir Tiffy Cashien at Falador Park. (Using your final log to return to Taverley and jog to Falador park.)

Trivia

 * Regardless of whether or not you have completed or even started One Small Favour, the monk mentions "...one final favour..." you reply: "Hey that sounds a little familiar..." Deviousmindtrivia1.jpg
 * Originally, players could only enter the Law Altar after completion of the Troll Stronghold quest. As such, it was originally a requirement for Devious Minds. Later, Troll Stronghold's reward was changed so that it was no longer a requirement for access to the Law Altar. Troll Stronghold was accordingly removed as a requirement for this quest.
 * Jagex stated this quest took the shortest amount of time to make since RuneScape Classic..
