The stone circle[]

Speaking to Kaqemeex.
Items required: None.
Speak to Kaqemeex, in the stone circle north of
Taverley, and he will tell you that the stone circle south of
Varrock used to belong to them but was taken over by the
dark wizards. He then tells you that you must speak to
Sanfew.
Sanfew[]
Items required: None.
Go back south down the road and speak to Sanfew, located upstairs in the big octagonal Herblore shop marked with a herb (which is located two buildings south of the long building containing the
Crystal chest), and tell Sanfew that you were sent to help with the ritual to purify the stone circle in Varrock. Sanfew will then tell you that he needs you to place
raw rat meat,
raw bear meat,
raw beef and
raw chicken in the
Cauldron of Thunder.
The fastest way to obtain these items is to either buy them at the Grand Exchange or teleport to Varrock and run east out of the city. Kill the
rat next to the south-east mine, then the bear slightly south of the mine. Continue south towards Lumbridge and kill a chicken, then a cow in the pasture.
If you do not wish to spend the time to hunt these animals, or are an Ironman and cannot use the Grand Exchange, you can purchase all four of the meat from
Rufus' Meat Emporium if you have the route to
Canifis unlocked.
Enchanting the meat[]
Items required: Raw bear meat, Raw rat meat, Raw chicken and Raw beef.

Cauldron of Thunder location.

Enchanting the meats.
The Cauldron of Thunder is located in
Taverley Dungeon. If you are a lower level, it is advised you bring food with you for the next part. Head south of
Taverley and down the ladder. When you are down there, keep walking north, past the level 22 and level 25
skeletons until you see two level 19
suits of armour on stands next to a gate.
- Note: When you attempt to open the gate, they will both come to life and one will attack you if your
combat level is below 55.
Kill or ignore it and walk in. You will now see a cauldron. Use the raw meats in your inventory on the Cauldron of Thunder, and you will notice they will turn blue. The meats will change into their enchanted versions:
enchanted bear,
enchanted chicken,
enchanted rat, and
enchanted beef.
Going back[]
Items required: Enchanted bear, enchanted chicken, enchanted rat and enchanted beef.
Leave the dungeon the same way you entered and speak to Sanfew. He will take the meats and tell you to speak to
Kaqemeex. Kaqemeex will thank you then tell you about the
skill of
Herblore.
