Follow this Old School RuneScape guide to complete the | Hitpoints| quest. Learn how to defeat the Shape Shifter and retrieve the lost ball.
Walkthrough
- 1Collect leather gloves and at least 2-3 cheeses from the witch's house in Draynor Village.
- 2Head north of Falador and go through the member's gate to Taverley.
- 3Talk to the boy standing outside the house near the gate about his lost ball.
- 4Go to the front door of the house, search under the floor mat to find a key, and use it on the front door.
- 5Go upstairs and read the diary in the witch's bedroom to learn about her security system.
- 6Go downstairs, wear your leather gloves, open the gate, and search the cupboard to find a magnet.
- 7Go back upstairs to the room with the door to the backyard.
- 8Drop your cheese on the ground near the backyard door. A mouse will appear.
- 9Use the magnet on the mouse. The mouse will run under the door, unlocking it.
- 10Go outside to the shed where the ball is. The witch will appear at the front door.
- 11Quickly run back inside and into the small room north of the main entrance.
- 12The witch will come out and see you peeking. She will unlock the shed door and mention feeding her monster. If you are not in the room, she will cast a spell, transporting you to the onion field south of Falador.
- 13After the witch leaves, go outside and open the shed door.
- 14Attempt to take the ball. Use any potions you have before doing so. The Shape Shifter will attack you.
- 15Defeat the level 24 Shape Shifter. Do not run away during the fight, as it will become unattackable, forcing you to restart.
- 16After killing the Shape Shifter, take the ball and return it to the boy outside the fence.
Tips
- Bring food, as the shed is small and escaping to heal might be difficult.
- Prayer and magic are advised for lower-level players against the Shape Shifter.
- The Shape Shifter can hit powerfully and is annoying.
