Well this quest has come out the quests designed for high level players, the most dangerous place on Runescape a place where you are warned well in advance on numerous occasions before you enter.
I was a bit concerned about entering this place after reading the Runescape Knowledge base so I put on my rune legs and plate and a miners helmet, I took a d scimmy and a rune defender all cheap armour and easily replaceable in case I died, I have 19 sets of rune armour that I have received from treasure trails.
You need to speak to the high priest, who warns you of the dangers, he sends you to the old bank where you speak to another NPC cant remember his name yet, he again reminds you of the dangers.
So off I went in search of glory, I entered the old bank and went down the stairs, at this level you are safe and can buy tinderboxes and torches from the guards, enter the trap door and you are dropped in a large maze there are mages about and large beetles, the mages mage you (What a surprise) and the beetles melee you, your aim is to get to the other side of the maze, if you want you can kill the monsters you meet on the way, I simply ran past them taking up to 14 damage, they are easy to get past but you can take 2 or 3 hits as you run, protect prayer can be used and is effective but I didn't bother.
The main thing to watch out for is the trap doors, these can not be seen but are marked by a scarab picture on the maze wall, you simply need to walk past on the other side of the path, I saw someone fall down one of these but I am not sure where he went, (there is a cavern below so I assume he went there).
You need to complete the maze at the level you enter, there are ladders down but you don't need to use them until you reach the other side, I went down the ladder and there are lots of monsters all ready to attack you, you can use protect mage prayer, I didn't I just ran and never got hit once, I ran through the monsters and went up another ladder further on this reduces the amount of maze you need to complete.
When you get to the other side of the maze you go down a trap door and meet a smaller cave type corridor, there is no danger here until you reach the far end the second time, the first time you search the body that can be found there, I thought it was a dead goat but apparently it was a body, read the parchment you get and talk to the girl with the mustache the other side of the cavern.
She will send you back to get osman (I will check spelling later), go back to al kharid and speak to him and he will agree to meet you at Sophanem, I used this opportunity to put my dragon hide on as rune is not required and it offers a better mage defence. fly to Sophanem, best route is carpet to Pollnivneach then from Pollnivneach to Sophanem.
Speak to him at the gates and he will go in and a cut scene of you waiting will appear, after a few hours (RL minutes) you decide to go in and find him, go through the maze to the same place and when you get to the cave a cut scene showing him getting attacked by a bug will appear, he then appears to get killed.
This is when the fun starts wander into the cave and get ready to be attacked by a level 190 scarab beetle, if you need use protect melee prayer, he is hard to hit I kept hitting zero's on him with 96 attack, all this time you are getting maged and meleed by mounted scarab beatles and mage manaphites, you only need to kill the beetle the other disappear when it is dead.
When he dies Osman comes back and there is a crappy dagger called keris on the floor, pick it up and do with it as you wish.
Speak again to the high priest and quest complete.
This quest can be done in half an hour, the most dangerous place in Runescape? maybe if you don,t count metal dragons, Kalphite Queen, KBD, Chaos Elemental, wildy, Ice trolls, black demons, etc.
I was hoping this quest would make the quest cape only available to high level or the most determined of players, no chance this quest is not hard and does not take long.
