Tale of Muspah Guide | Walkthrough

Here is the Runescape Quest Guide for Tale of Muspah.

• To start the quest you must first talk to Erjolf, who can be found on the mountain to the north-east of Rellekka. Fairy ring code D-K-S can be used for quicker access. He is excited about finding a new cave.
• Follow him as he leads you into the cave.
• Talk to him again and he’ll tell you that he thinks he might have spotted some armour frozen in ice which he thinks will help him to complete The Fremennik Trials.
• Ask him about his progress with the trials and he’ll ask for your help to get the armour from the ice. Offer to help him, and he’ll tell you that you need to build a raft by using a knife with the driftwood.

(A knife, tinderbox and spade may be obtained from Erjolf by telling him that you need some tools to melt the ice.)

• Use the spade on a mound of snow by the cave water exits, to block the south and west streams to make the water run towards the east. Set 4 fire rafts to melt the small icicles then repeat the same strategy for the other sides.

• NOTE: It does not matter what order you do these, when you are finished, Erjolf will have you come speak with him.

North side

• To melt the icicles on the north side , block the west stream and east stream, leaving the south stream unblocked. Then set 5 or 6 fire rafts to line up along the north edge of the iceberg to melt the icicles there. To do this you need to go on north edge and line yourself up so you see the corner of the north side on the left and set the fire raft on fire. Step a square to the right and do this again, keep going until you see the ice melt. Set them off quickly or they will disappear.

East side

• Block both the East stream and the West stream, have the South stream unblocked. Go to the North stream, On the West side go 2 steps to the west from the flat rock, then walk 2 steps to the south, that is perfect. Now set off 5 or 6 fire rafts.

South side

• To melt the icicles on the south side, block the east and south streams. Leave the west and north stream unblocked. Let 5 or 6 rafts go at once from the south-east so that they pile up on the rocks and line up against the south side of the island.

West side

• Finally, Block the West stream and block the South stream. Stand on the Northwest side where the snow points south on the West stream, stand in the middle and set 1 Fire Raft off, it will hit on the northern side of the West side. Jump the flat rock and cross over. Going just to the Southwest side of the West stream, stand in the pushed up part of that side and set off another 1 raft. That will now finish off the West side (the south side of that West side)

Finishing up

Once you have melted all the icicles the child will ask you to come talk to him. you will then see a frozen monster inside the ice. After some talk he will then say you have to find an outlander in the Trollweiss hunting area.

The monster in ice.

This outlander is a natural histories expert. He is up on the platform above the normal birds area. From there, go north all the way, then east, to find the historian. He will, after some conversation, ask you to describe the creature

1. the monster is yellow,
2. has four arms,
3. has no legs like a snail,
4. a spiky head
5. Spikey tail,
6. and crab claws.)

• The outlander is called ‘Natural Historian’ and he is located in the kebbit area of the Trollweiss hunter area, around the back of the big ice block, to the north-east. He’ll tell you it looks like a mythical beast and to find a statue of the monster in the desert mining camp.

Once you have described it for him he will tell you that you must find a statue in the Kharidian desert east of the mining camp, and north of Pollnivneach.

• The statue is far east of the mining camp along the large eastward bend in the river. It will appear as a sand pile, and you must dig it using the spade you were given earlier.

• Ali the Wise will appear and talk to you. When he is done talk to him again and ask him about the Muspah. He will say you need 4 cut sapphires, 4 water runes and 4 cosmic runes and a knife.

• If you ask him if he could take you back to the cave, he will give you a Camelot teletab.

• Head back to the Muspah cave and mine 4-8 sapphires, then cut with a chisel. The eight sapphire rocks in the cave may only be mined once.

• Do as Ali the Wise told you to, bore the sapphires onto the ice and enchant the sapphire. Then the ice will melt, revealing the Muspah inside. The same sapphires may be used for freezing and unfreezing later in the quest, so it’s possible to keep 4 sapphires at the end of the quest.

• Erjolf will run away as the Muspah starts to move. Talk to the Muspah to find that he is actually Jhallan, one of the shape-shifting Mahjarrat that accidentally transformed to the Muspah while he dreamed of it in his nightmare, and it consumed much of his energy.

• Jhallan will ask you to repeat the process, so he could return to his hibernation, only this time he will choose a place safer.

• Go and find Erjolf, who is just outside the cave. Ask him and he will tell you that the only way to get to the other side of the cave is by canoeing. He will tell you to meet him at the West Trollweiss hunting area, before the snow. Remember to bring a hatchet.

• Meet him at the west hunting area. He will point you to the great log that you can carve a canoe from. Press the log and your player will do a bit of “crazy-slashing” on the log, creating a crude canoe.

• Take the canoe and once you reached, enter the cave that is right in front of you.

• Go to the centre area to find Jhallan, already weakening, he will ask you to find him a cave that is dark, no water flow, not too warm and not in the middle of a tunnel.

• The only spot suitable is the furthest south-west cave. Items needed: knife, hatchet, 4 sapphires, 4 water & 4 cosmic runes

• Before you enchant the Sapphire, you will scare Jhallan into eventually giving you a fake Muspah tail.

• Take the canoe back to Erjolf, and you will give him the tail.

• Congratulations, Quest complete!
