Walkthrough
Getting started
Speak with Mysterious Michael in the Lumbridge cemetery. He tells you he is sort of an Archaeologist and searching for some long lost secrets in an ancient tomb of the barbarians. Despite them living close to Edgeville, Michael says he's looking for their ancestors, who were located in the swamps near Mount Quidamortem.
He tells you a certain relic is required for safe passage. This relic comes from the ruler of the undead, it was to powerful, so it was split up to 4 pieces, divided under his minions. You offer him your assistance. Click 'Yes, i am always in for an adventure' to finish the dialog and start the quest.
Obtaining the Skull Sceptre
Before continuing on with step 3 you will want to create the runed sceptre, allowing you to run through the cave without taking damage from the skeletons.
The sceptre is split into 4 pieces, divided under the undead minions.
Each minion drops a unique piece which can be attached to it's counterpart.
These four pieces together make 2 pieces, which can be put together to get the Skull Sceptre.
Top of Sceptre
The Top of Sceptre is dropped by either Ghosts (level 19) or Skeletons (level 22) which can be found in the Catacombs of Kourend or the Edgeville Dungeon.
Bottom of Sceptre
The Bottom of Sceptre is dropped by Ghouls (level 42) which can be found south of the Slayer Tower in Canifis.
Left Skull Half
The Left Skull Half of the Sceptre is dropped by Skeletal Wyverns (level 140) which can be found in the lair beneath Port Sarim, they also have a special teleport option from the Training Teleport menu.
Right Skull Half
The Right Skull Half is dropped by Ankous (level 86) which can be found in the Catacombs of Kourend.
Creating the Skull Sceptre
After obtaining the Top, Bottom, Left skull, and Right skull the player will combine each of two pieces together (ex. Top and Bottom/Left skull and Right skull), you will then get two pieces (Runed Sceptre) and (Strange Skull), combine these two together to make the Skull Sceptre.
Investigating the Swamp Bubbles
Talk to Dallas Jones, you'll inform him about the gas bubbles and that you were unable to bring them, he gives you a pair of bellows to extract the swamp bubbles, and tells you about a colleague of him at the laboratory in Rimmington.
Go back to the sewers and click the swamp bubbles again, you'll extract the swamp bubbles with your bellows. Take it to the laboratory of Rimmington.
Researching the Swamp Bubbles
Travel to Rimmington and talk to Professor Manglethorp at the laboratory. Walk outside and operate the Fractionizing still. You'll empty the bellows in the still. Go back inside and talk to the professor. Professor Manglethorp tells you he has never seen anything like this before and that you have to warn Dallas Jones as quickly as possible!
Investigating the Sewers
Travel back to the Well of Goodwill and talk to Dallas Jones, you tell him about what the professor said, Dallas says he doesn't know what to do and certainly doesn't want to find out by himself. Offer him your adventurous courage.
Warning, at the next step, you will encounter a fight! Bring some combat gear, potions, an antipoison and food!
Go to the sewers and enter the dark hole next to the eastern wall. You will now enter a room with a level 194 Hydra.
Fighting the Hydra
The Hydra has 300 hitpoints and will attack you with range and magic. His range attacks will poison you. He can hit you up to 22 damage so be cautious! Ranging the Hydra from a distance will make this fight a walk in the park, but using melee isn't to hard either.
Congratulations, quest complete!
