Items required

Items from the tool belt are not listed unless they do not work or are not automatically added.

Ghostspeak amulet or Cramulet (unless the player has claimed the reward for completing the Morytania hard achievements)
Jennica's ring
At least 1 Summoning pouch made with a Blue charm (cheap pouches such as Albino Rat, Giant chinchompa, and Spirit kalphite may be available on the Grand Exchange; bring more in case you make a mistake)
- For Ironmen, Spirit jelly pouches are an easily obtainable pouch, as their tertiary ingredient, jugs of water, can be bought in bulk from the Shantay Pass.
- Minotaur pouches are also a good choice and require a metal bar of the player's choosing. The lowest leveled minotaur, a bronze minotaur, requires 36 Summoning.

Recommended

Food
Super energy potions or a fair number of Mint cakes, or 2 doses of Stamina potion for the fights
5-15 empty spaces for logs during the first fight
Weight-reducing clothing
A one-click emergency teleport
To get to the quest start quickly, players can use:
- 20 Archaeology to quickly reach the Infernal Source through the map in the Archaeology Guild
- Fort Forinthry lodestone, built after completing New Foundations quest
- A Fort Forinthry Teleport, buyable on the Grand Exchange
Do not bring armour as it will not protect you from the attacks. However, either Warpriest of Saradomin armour or Warpriest of Zamorak armour has a chance to reduce damage taken from the Beast's attacks, so it's recommended to bring all the pieces you have (more pieces results in either more damage blocked, or a higher percentage that the effect will activate, depending on which armour is used).
Full prayer points or prayer potions, needed to bless the graves

Enemies to defeat

None

Luring the beast[edit | edit source]

Equip your ghost speak amulet and Talk to Summer at the wilderness wall, north-east of Varrock. ( ✓)
Enter the portal. ( ~)
After the dialogue, operate Jennica's ring while standing on the portal.
Run north to the dungeon, collapse the entrance.
Return to the spirit realm. (Operating Jennica's ring on the white portal)
Run north and lure the beast to the entrance with your blue charm familiar. Enter the cave before it has a chance to consume your familiar. ( 1)

Inside the cave[edit | edit source]

Avoid the beast's ranged attacks by moving away from the missiles. Leaving during the battle will deposit you deep in the Wilderness.
(Optional) Cut one set of logs, put it on the middle fire pit, and then lure the Beast behind it to avoid attacks while cutting the remaining logs.
Run north and cut 15 logs from the wall.
Once you have 15, light 3 fire pits (5 each) by using logs on fire pits but do not light other fire pits during cutscene.
(Optional) Restock your food and return to Summer to continue.

The dark core[edit | edit source]

Enter the next room by going through the passage in the south-east corner. ( 1)
Avoid the missiles like before.
Soon a dark core will appear, dig a hole in the soil and lure the core into it.
Repeat this 3 times until you receive a cutscene.

The coloured graves[edit | edit source]

Enter the next room by going through the passage to the east. ( 1)
Watch carefully which graves the coloured spirits enter.
The beast will charge a coloured attack; while the colours move from grave to grave, bless it with the matching colour.
Repeat once for each of the three colours.

Finishing up[edit | edit source]

Talk to the spirits ( 1) then once outside, talk again.
Quest complete!
