Getting Started
First off, head to the Shantay Pass and buy some Shantay Passes, Waterskins and any other needed desert traveling
equipment. Make your way to the Bedabin Camp and speak with Asgarnia the Archaeologist. He thinks that there are treasures
buried in the desert somewhere. He found a Stone Tablet and he will ask you to bring some Etched Notes to Terry Balando
in the Digsite east of Varrock.
Terry Balando turns out to be the Archaeological Expert in the Digsite Exam Center. He will give you a readable,
translated book on the Etched Notes to bring back to Asgarnia the Archaeologist.
The Treasure
Asgarnia says that he is more of a treasure hunter, so agree to split the reward 50-50 with him. He'll ask you
to search the west, so head south to the Bandit Camp. Speak to Eblis about the history and each of the other options.
Go to the bar and buy him a Bandit's Brew for 650gp from the Bartender, and then ask him about the Diamonds of Azzanadra.
Ask Eblis about them as well and he'll tell you about the God Wars.
Agree to help Eblis and he says that he needs a few things. Get him 12 Magic Logs, 6 Molten Glass, 6 Steel Bars,
Ashes, a Blood Rune, Charcoal, and a set of regular Bones (use them on him). Once you give him everything, he'll ask to meet
you on a hill to the south. Speak with him there and look into each of the mirrors. Some of them are false, so watch out!
You'll see the Ice Gates south of Trollheim, the Ardougne Picnic area, Canifis, the Pyramid of Azzanadra, Smoky Well and the
Bandit Camp.
Important: Once you obtain any of the Diamonds of Azzanadra, be sure to bank it right away until you
need it at the end. Otherwise, you may come across a level 95 Stranger with a Poisoned Dragon Dagger that attacks you!
Diamond of Blood
Go to the Hair of the Dog Tavern in Canifis and you should see Malak the Vampire and Roavar the Innkeeper
speaking about Lord Drakkan and his Tithe of Blood. Malak will then ask you to speak to him. Talk to him about the Diamonds,
and he says that he'll give you the Blood Diamond if you kill Lord Dessous.
Malak tells you that you need a Silver Pot made by Ruantun in the Draynor Sewers, blessed by the Entrana
Head Priest with Blood and by crushing Garlic, along with some Spices to hide the odor. This is how you can poison and
fight him. He says that Dessous must be killed so that Drakkan can claim more lands.
Get the Garlic in the cupboard from Draynor Village and bring Ruantun a Silver Bar. He can be found in the sewer
by climbing down a trapdoor southeast of the village, near the jail. Now head to Entrana and talk to the High Priest to get
it blessed, teleport to Ardougne and get some spices. Go back to Malak who will cut you for the fresh blood... as fresh as
it gets!
Add some Spices and crushed Garlic, and get ready for a battle. Bring food, potions and some strong weapons
and armor. Now head south of the bank to the Myreque bridge (blue on the map), cross it, and then head east to the Graveyard
(in red).
Use the Blessed Pot on the tomb and then a level 139 Desseus will appear and attack you. It's best to use Protect
From Melee and attack him, even if you intend to Range or Mage him from behind the fence. He will send out bats to attack
you. After killing him, head back to Malak for the Diamond of Blood.
Diamond of Ice
To start off, you'll need a Cake, 4 Super Restore Potions, Prayer Potions and some Spiked Boots. Walk or teleport
to Trollheim and head north with Protect From Ranged on until you pass the Thrower Trolls.
Now talk to the Troll Child and use a Cake on him, who says that a "Bad Man" kidnapped his parents, and
that he'll hive you the Diamond of Ice if you free them. Squeeze-through the Ice Gate, put your Protect From Melee Prayer
or and kill 5 Level 120-124 Ice Trolls. If you need to, head back to a bank for food and potions and return.
Note: upon squeezing through the Ice Gate, your hits and other stats will decrease greatly. Prayer and
Stat Restore Potions are a must!
Go through the small cave you just opened by killing the Trolls, go past the level 134 Ice Wolves, and then
the level 154 Kamil will appear. Use Protect From Melee at all times and get close to him to fight. He has strong Defense
and Magic and he will freeze you at times. When you're frozen, it's best to eat and use potions.
Once he's dead, follow the barely-visible road until you see a slippery patch of ice. Equip your Spiked Boots
and cross it (you may fall more often with a low Agility level), and at the end of the bridge you'll see 2 Trolls, each in
a block of ice. Smash the blocks (each has 10 hits), and they will give you the Diamond of Ice.
Diamond of Smoke
This time, bring some Energy and Prayer Potions, food, Ice Gloves, a Facemask and a Tinderbox to the Bandit
Camp. Head to the circle of Mystic Mirrors where Eblis is and go east until you find a well. While wearing a Facemask, climb
down to find a chest that you need to light 4 torches to open. This is where those Energy Potions come in!
Walk to the northeast corner of the dungeon and light the torch with your Tinderbox. Quickly Run to the
southeast corner to light the torch, light the northwest on, and finally the southwest one. If you're quick enough and have
them all lit, you'll be able to get a Warm Key from the chest in the room north of the southwest corridor. If not, you'll
need to re-light the torches that went out.
Now head east to find a door; be ready to fight a level 169 Fire Demon named Fareed. Use Monk Robes or Ranged
armor here. If you use Monk Robes, bring 3 Prayer Potions, if you're using Ranging armor, bring 5. He mostly hits melee but
sometimes hits up to 20 with Magic, so don't bring plate armor. You could also Mage him with water spells to hit him hard.
Once he's cooled down, you'll receive the Smoke Diamond.
Diamond of Shadow
Head to the Tourist Guide near the Baxtorian Falls and speak to Rasool the Merchant. Ask him about the
Diamonds and he will tell you that a fierce invisible warrior has taken it. You need a Ring of Visability to see him, and
he will give it to you if you can get his gilded cross from the Bandits that stole it.
Now go to the Bandit Camp in the desert, bring some food and Antipoison Potions, pickpocket about 10 Lockpicks
from the Bandits and try to open the chest in the southern-most tent. Eventually you should open it and have the Gilded Cross.
Return this to Rasool and he will give you the Ring of Visibility; equip this at the picnic place in Ardougne and you'll see
a ladder.
Note: Be sure not to bring anything of significant value, as the chance of dying is great down here!
Take about 10-20 Prayer Potions and lots of good food like Sharks. Go down the ladder and head east, then north,
slightly east, south, and then east again until you find a level 103 Damis. Before entering the room, be sure to use
any stat-boosting potions and use your Protect From Melee Prayer. Just attack him and keep your Prayer and hits up, as he
can drain your Prayer slowly.
After he's dead, a second form will appear and he will drain your Prayer much more quickly. Try drinking your
Prayer Potions as needed, in between hitting him. Once he's dead, pick up the Diamond of Shadow and leave.
The Pyramid
Now go to the Shantay Pass and take out the Diamonds, 5 Prayer Potions and food. Go to the Mystic Mirrors in
the Bandit Camp, head south until you find a Pyramid with colored obelisks. Use the Diamonds on the appropriately colored
obelisk and you'll be able to enter the Pyramid. Be careful, there are traps inside that, if set, will send you to the back
of the Pyramid and you'll need to start over!
Once inside, use your Protect From Melee Prayer, run to the next ladder and climb down. Now head to the southeast
corner and then west along the passage, then north and east down the ladder. Next, head south to the ladder. On the 4th
floor, just head west at first, then north through the door. Speak to Azzanadra and he will tell you about the Ancient
Magicks. Quest Complete!
