Getting started[]

Preparing the jar[]
- Talk to Ernie upstairs in a pottery building south of the east bank in New Varrock to get a strong cooking urn. Make sure you don't have an active one in your bank back in the real dimension. (
) - Cut the tree right outside the building entrance to get logs.
- Go to the zombie cow pen south-east of the eastern bank, kill roughly 11 cows (the exact number of meat needed varies), and collect the raw undead beef.
- Light the logs and cook the meat.
- Also, a range can be used with the raw undead beef, make sure to keep an empty inventory spot otherwise you won't make progress towards the urn.

- Optional: buy the 3 other gems, cut them, and sell for more Zemomark's than purchase price.
- Buy gold ore from Sani at the furnace west of New Varrock square.
- Smelt the ore, then use the cut diamond and gold bar on the furnace to make a diamond ring.
- Enchant the diamond ring to get a ring of life (1 cosmic, 10 earth runes and have standard magic book active).

- Replay: Not needed if you saved vial of purple mist.
- Go to the church in north-east of New Varrock, pray at the altar (switch to standard prayers if offered the choice).

- Father Lawrence says the following phrase activate the following Prayer:
| "Arrav turned to Zemouregal, and said: The power of prayer grants me strength..." |
 Ultimate Strength

| "...my faith is restored..." |  Rapid Restore
|
| "...and under your watchful eye, Saradomin..." |  Eagle Eye
|

|
| "...and he shall be crushed by our combined might!" |  Mystic Might
