Follow this RuneScape guide to complete the | of Ikov quest, retrieve the Staff of Armadyl, and choose your allegiance with Lucien or the Guardians of Armadyl.
Walkthrough
- 1Talk to Lucien, west of the River in Ardougne. He'll ask you to retrieve the Staff of Armadyl and give you the Pendant of Lucien.
- 2Equip the Pendant of Lucien. Light your candle with a tinderbox.
- 3Gather the following items: Pendant of Lucien, good armor and weapon, Yew or Magic bow, lit candle, plenty of food, and 20 limpwurt roots (can be obtained later).
- 4Enter the Dungeon of Fear (northeast of Ardougne). Go north through the door, then down the stairs to the west.
- 5If you can't see, ensure your candle is lit. Cut the spider's web and get the boots. Equip the Boots of Lightfootedness.
- 6Go back up the stairs and through the north door. Cross the bridge to the west, open the door, and take the lever.
- 7Return through the door, cross the bridge, head north, and go north at the split to find another lever.
- 8Search the lever for traps (right-click). Disarm the trap and pull the lever.
- 9Return to the dungeon entrance ladder but do not go up. Enter the room to the west, guarded by Ice Spiders (level 64).
- 10Obtain ice arrows one by one from the end of the room. Each arrow taken teleports you back to the start. Alternatively, use any arrow (except bronze) to kill the spider after obtaining one ice arrow.
- 11Leave the ice arrow room and head north, past Skeletons (level 54). Go west.
- 12Use the lever with the lever bracket. Pull the lever to open the adjacent door.
- 13Enter the next room and wield your bow. Ranged attack 'The Fire Warrior of Lesarkus' (level 63).
- 14After defeating the Fire Warrior, go through the door next to its cage.
- 15Proceed through the alleyway and talk to Winelda. To cross the lava, pay her 20 limpwurt roots. If you don't have them, return to a bank to get them.
- 16After crossing the lava, go north, then east, then south. Pick up the 'shiny key' at the southern end.
- 17Head north and find the 'Strange-looking Wall' in the middle of the east-west passage. Push it.
- 18Decision Point: Choose to side with Lucien or the Guardians of Armadyl. Both paths yield the same reward but have different endings.
- 19Side with the Guardians:
- Take off the Pendant of Lucien.
- 20Talk to a Guardian of Armadyl. They will express disappointment and give you a pendant, instructing you to kill Lucien.
- 21Exit the room, go west, and go up the ladder.
- 22Use the shiny key on the door north of McGrubor's Woods.
- 23Head to Edgeville, cross the bridge, and go southeast.
- 24Find Lucien's house and attack him while wearing your pendant.
- 25Side with Lucien:
- Head north to the room and pick up the Staff of Armadyl. You may need to defeat guardians.
- 26Leave the room through the 'Strange-looking Wall'.
- 27Go west and go up the ladder.
- 28Use the shiny key on the door north of McGrubor's Woods.
- 29Head to Edgeville, cross the bridge, and go southeast.
- 30Find Lucien's house and talk to him, giving him the Staff of Armadyl.
Tips
- Light your candle before entering the Dungeon of Fear.
- Bring plenty of food for combat encounters.
- The Boots of Lightfootedness are essential for crossing the bridge.
- If you don't have 20 limpwurt roots initially, you can retrieve them from a bank later.
- For the ice arrow room, you can use any arrow type (except bronze) to kill the spider after obtaining one ice arrow.
You will receive a reward upon completing the quest, the nature of which depends on your final choice.
