A mysterious stranger called Lucien asks you to go on a mission deep under the Temple of Ikov in central Kandarin. He wants you to retrieve an artefact known as the Staff of Armadyl. Towards the end of the quest you are presented with a choice on how to complete the quest.


Part 1:
The Temple of Ikov

Step 1
Talk to Lucien.
Get boots of lightness.
Cross bridge and take lever.

Items needed: A sharp object, Lit Candle (or any Light source). Near zero weight is required for this step. Leave any weapons, armour, food, etc. behind. (or if you have a Beast of Burden, store all heavy items with that.)

Go to the Flying Horse Bar which is north of King Lathas' castle. Talk to Lucien and he will tell you about how he needs the Staff of Armadyl. Agree to help him, and he will give you the Pendant of Lucien.

Wear the Pendant of Lucien and retrieve your light source. Go to the Temple of Ikov, which is south-east of the Rangers' Guild. Climb down the ladder to get in the Temple of Ikov.

Go to the west end of the cave you arrive in. At the end, it loops around and comes to some stairs. Go down these stairs, and slash the web at the end of the room. Go through the slashed web, take the 'Boots of Lightness' and put them on (Picture).

Climb back up stairs and go into room with the Skeletons (Level-45). Make sure that you have your Lucien Pendant equipped before opening the gate otherwise you will be pushed back with fear. Go to the west side of the room and you will see a broken bridge (Picture). Before going over the bridge, make sure your weight is at or below zero. If it's above zero, you will fall in the lava, causing you 200 life points of damage. Once across the bridge, open the door and grab the lever piece on the ground (Picture).

Part 2:
The Fire Warrior & Armadyl

Step 2
Go through the gate.
Collect ice arrows.
Kill the Lesarkus the Fire Warrior (Level-84).

Items needed: Food, Armour (Dragonhide Armour optional), Yew, Magic, or Dark Bow, Prayer Potion (optional), Ava's Attractor/Accumulator. Keep one inventory spot free for this step. If you have a friend to come with you, or a Beast of Burden, give them the 20 Limpwurt Roots until you need them later. Alternatively, if you think you can defeat Lesarkus the Fire Warrior (Level-84) without food, you can bring your Limpwurt Roots along with you.

Go back to the room with the Bats (Level-27). When you get there you will see Lever Bracket. Use your lever with lever bracket then pull it (Picture). After you have finished this, go through south-most gates.

Follow the path until you reach a number of chests. Watch out for the Ice spiders (Level-61). Search the chests and you will get 1-5 arrows each time you search a chest containing arrows. You will need about 30-40 arrows depending on your Ranged level, although only 15-20 if you are using Ava's Attractor/Accumulator (Picture).

Return back to the bats near the main entrance, enter the room with the skeletons and go north until you see small room with lever. 'Search for traps' on the lever and disarm it, then you pull it. If you pull the lever without disarming the traps, then the trap door will open and you will fall on spikes taking up to 200 life points in damage.
Note: To search for traps you need 42 Thieving.

Take the North-West road until you get to a door. Open the door and go across the room to the next door. Try to open that door and Lesarkus the Fire Warrior (Level-84) will appear and say you may not pass. Then he will start maging you. Activate your 'Protect from magic' prayer and range him with your ice arrows to defeat him.

Step 3
Give Winelda limpwurt roots.
Take shiny key
Push through the door.

Items needed: 20 Limpwurt Roots. (They cannot be in note form, and you must give Winelda all 20 in one go.)

Go through the door that the Fire Warrior was defending. Talk to Winelda. She will say that you must pay her 20 limpwurt roots for her to transport you across the lava. Give her the 20 roots and she will teleport you to the other side of lava.

Go to the end of the tunnel, past the Skeletons (Level-45) and Lesser Demons (Level-82). You will see a shiny key; take it.

Now go back where you saw Skeletons (Level-45). Look at the wall and you will see that you can push it. Push it and you will go through.

Note: here you must choose which side you want to take. If you want to help the Guardians, do part 4A and skip part 4B. If you still want to help Lucien, skip part 4A and do part 4B.

Part 3:
Take your side

Step 4A
Tell guardians about Lucien.
Kill Lucien (Level-14).

Items needed: Pendant of Lucien.

Take off your Pendant of Lucien and talk to one of guardians. Tell him that you seek the staff, then tell him that Lucien will give you a great reward. They will be disappointed to hear what you say, so they will give you a Pendant of Armadyl and tell you to kill Lucien.

Go through the wall and climb up the ladders. You will be north of McGrubor's Wood. Unlock the door with your shiny key.

Go to Varrock, Lucien's house is just west of The Grand Exchange. (Map). Enter the house and kill Lucien (Level-14).

Step 4B
Kill the Guardians and take staff.
Unlock door.
Give Lucien the staff.

Go to the smaller room in the north-west corner of the Guardian's hideout. Kill the Guardians (Level-43/45) in this room, and then take the staff.

Go back through the wall and climb up ladders. You will be north of McGrubor's Wood. Unlock the door with your shiny key.

Go to Varrock, Lucien's house is just west of The Grand Exchange. (Map). Enter it and give Lucien the staff.
