Regicide

Walkthrough
Note: When doing this quest, players should make sure that they have everything required before setting out on a trip. If players reach Tirannwn and realise that they have forgotten something, it is a very long way between the bank and the quest areas, even if teleports are used. Do not use a ring of life. It will teleport you all the way back to your spawn location if you are under attack and have less than 10% of your Hitpoints remaining.

Starting out
After starting, go to King Lathas. He will tell you to go through the Underground Pass again to the western darklands. Once there, you will meet scouts of his.

See the separate guide for instructions about how to get through the pass.

Once you are at Iban's temple, go in. Iban will no longer be there, so you can simply climb down the Well of Voyage. Go out the cave.

Isafdar
Welcome to Tirannwn! Shortly after you will find an elf named Idris. He will question why you are here, but he is slain by Essyllt and Morvran before he has the chance to finish. They will tell you to talk to Lord Iorwerth, who can be found at the camp in the northwest corner of the forest.

Below is a detailed map of Tirannwn : On the way, you will encounter four different obstacles:

Dense forest
You need level 56 Agility to navigate through this. You cannot get through until later in the quest when an Elf Tracker teaches you how. Dense forest cannot be failed and it acts as a shortcut through the forest. It is also the only way to reach some areas. Note that you can boost your agility level to get through it. You can pass through the dense forest reversely (say from Tyras camp to the north dense forest) without 56 agility. Forward passes (say from the dense forest to the Tyras camp) will always require 56 agility.

Pitfall
You will see some leaves on the ground. If you step on them, you will fall through a pit and lose 15hp. Click "jump over" on the close side of the trap. There is still a chance of failing to jump over.

Tripwire
You will see two rocks very close together. There are also four miniature crossbows pointing at them. Move your cursor and right click between the rocks to find a tripwire, then step over. If you trigger the trap, you will be hit double 5's and get a 2 damage poison condition. Turn off your run energy to decrease the chance of failure.

Stick trap
You will see some sticks on the ground in a formation similar to a dipper. Click "pass" on them. If you fail, you will lose 8 health. Turn off your run energy to reduce the chance of failing.

Getting through the forest
Make your way to the elf camp in the north-west corner. See the map above for reference. At the camp, speak with Lord Iorwerth. He will tell you to talk to his Tracker after you tell him that King Lathas sent you. The Elf Tracker is near the Poison Waste. He will not believe what you say since you are a human, so return to Lord Iowerth to get a crystal pendant. Put it on and talk to the Tracker again. He will tell you to find the Tyras Camp. Click "Follow" on the footprints near the dense forest. Go back to the Tracker. You will now be able to climb through dense forest if you have 56 agility. You will have to pass through dense forest three times during the quest, bring at least 3 of the appropriate Agility boost. Climb through the nearest dense forest and a level 110 Tyras Guard will attack you, equipped with a steel halberd. He has high defence, but should not give you much trouble if you can use Protect from Melee. After you have killed him, continue on to the Tyras Camp, past the catapult. Talk to General Hining, and pick up a barrel while you are here (multiple recommended). Go back to the Elf Tracker, then talk to Lord Iorwerth.
 * From the Underground Pass exit, head west and take the south split in the path to avoid the stick trap.
 * Keep going west until you see a leaf trap (pitfall) to the south. Jump over it.
 * Keep going south until you reach two small pools of water. Go west and cross the stick trap.
 * Head up the north-west path and jump over the leaf trap. Keep heading north and cross the log balance to reach the camp.
 * Head back down the path you took to reach the camp, but head south when you reach the stick trap.

Getting the materials
Lord Iorwerth will give you the Big Book O' Bangs. Read it. You need to make an explosive compound. Here is how to do it:

1. Go east of the elf camp, through the dense forest, and northeast past the gates of the elven city. Find some limestone rocks and mine one piece of limestone. Alternatively, you can mine the limestone later near the Odd Old Man on the path to Morytania. 2. Go south down to the Tyras Camp and take a barrel if you do not already have one. It may be a good idea to get multiple barrels of coal tar, because it can be lost in the distilling process, and you will have to travel through the underground pass again if you lose your only barrel of coal tar. Use the barrel on the poison waste swamp south of the Elf Tracker to fill it with coal tar.

3. Equip your gloves (if you do not, you will take damage when making quicklime). Then use your limestone on the furnace to get quicklime. Buy a pot from the Quartermaster, then grind the quicklime with your pestle and mortar to get a pot of quicklime.

4. Take some sulphur from near the poison waste swamp and grind it with your pestle and mortar.

5. If you have not yet made a strip of cloth, use 4 balls of wool on a loom. There is one in the elf camp, and another in the farm near Falador.

Making the bomb
The barrel bomb is not hard to make, although the gathering of the ingredients for the recipe can be very tedious as the materials are difficult to find. See above for where to find them.

1. Make sure you have at least 1 barrel of coal tar and some ground sulphur before you leave Isafdar. If you did not get the limestone, it can be mined on the path to Canifis, north-east of Varrock. If you do not have a strip of cloth, there is a loom in the farm near Falador that can be used to make one.

2. Make sure you have a pot in your inventory. Use the limestone on a furnace to make quicklime. Make sure you are wearing gloves or you will take damage! Then use a pestle and mortar on the quicklime to grind it and it will automatically appear in the pot.

3. Grab at least 15 pieces of coal and bring your book regarding the bomb creation. Teleport to Falador, or your house if it is in Rimmington. Now find the Chemist that resides there (he is in a building south-west of the house portal). Talk about the quest and he will give you permission to use the distiller. Now use the barrel of coal tar on the large distiller outside.

READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU DISTILL!



The idea of using this distiller is to keep pressure and heat at an even ratio, which is analogous to one of the Gas Laws in the modern sciences. Add coal to start raising heat levels, turn the value for heat to the middle notch and keep it there. You may notice the pressure valve go up as well because the valve is closed. Let the pressure go up to the green area, but pay attention to the heat level. ''Add coal as needed, and only as needed. ''As you keep the heat running, keep closing and opening the pressure valve to keep the heat at an even ratio with the pressure.

A simple step-by-step guide for this part is:

1. Rotate the tar regulator clockwise twice, to make the tar flow at maximum. The 'pressure' indicator on the left should go up.

2. When the pressure enters the green region, rotate the pressure valve clockwise once to let out some pressure. This should stall the pressure indicator.

3. Start adding coal. This raises the 'heat' indicator on the right. If it is below the green region, add more coal. If it is above, do not add coal until it gets lower.

4.If the heat reading reaches the dark orange portion, you have spoiled your compound and must start again with a new barrel of coal tar.

5. If you run out of coal, your progress will be saved. This means you do not have to re-set the pressure or re-add coal to it.

The bar on the bottom should start turning green. When it is full, stop adding coal and close the window to replace your empty barrel with a barrel of naphtha.

Once you have done this, add the quicklime and ground sulphur to the barrel and then add your strip of cloth to it. You now have a Barrel bomb ready for use in the next part of the quest.

Regicide
Now that you have the barrel bomb, go to the Elven Kingdom through the Underground Pass and kill a rabbit to get rabbit meat. Cook it on any fire, if you did not bring a hatchet there is one in the Elven Camp. Then go to the catapult outside the Tyras Camp. Talk to the guard and give him some rabbit meat to distract him. Then use the barrel bomb on the catapult (tinderbox required) and it will explode on King Tyras!

Go back to Lord Iowerth. He will give you a letter to take to King Lathas, then give you access to the overground pass of Arandar. Take the overpass or teleport away, then go to Ardougne Castle. On the way, an elf named Arianwyn will break the magic seal on the letter and tell you to read it. You will learn that King Lathas killed Tyras, who was a good guy, so that he could resurrect some dark lord (later revealed to be Zamorak) and take over Camelot. For now, simply talk to Lathas for your reward.
