After the fight

You'll get a rusty casket after you defeat the Dagannoth Mother. Go to the 1^st2^nd floor^[?] of the lighthouse and show it to Jossik to finish the quest. (Note: If your inventory is full when killing the Dagannoth Mother you will not receive the casket. Instead, go and talk to Jossik upstairs who will say he picked up the casket after you left it on the ground.)

Note: Since 3 March 2016, it is possible to purchase all the books from Jossik for 5,000 coins each, even if you have not filled your other book(s).
