Required Items:
- Some half-decent armour to somewhat protect you from melee and ranged attacks
- Food, as much as you deem needed to protect yourself from level 85 Zombies that don't hit too often and not too high
- A weapon with which you can kill some of those Zombies
- All equipment needed to locate a coordinate clue (Sextant, Watch, Chart, and a Spade) - needed only the first time you go to Ice Mountain during the quest
- Pickaxe - only needed when going towards Thurgo the Imcando Dwarf
- A light source (torch, lantern, mining helmet, ...)
Starting Point: Talk to Captain Rovin in the north-west tower of Varrock Palace.
- Go talk to Captain Rovin by going to the north-west corner of the Varrock Palace and going up two flocks of stairs.
A scout named Hartwin will tell you he noticed zombies at the Graveyard of Shadows. Captain Rovin will ask you to check it out with Hartwin.
- Go to the wilderness to the Graveyard and talk to Hartwin when you're located at the eastern side of the Graveyard (make sure you're still standing in the graveyard).
- You will now have to use your hunter skills to track the Zombie Army. Investigate bushes, mushroom, skeletons, trees, etc. Until you end up at the Chaos Temple by following their trails. You will also pick up a key while following these trails. Make sure you got the message you can't see any more tracks at the Chaos Altar and should look around a bit.
- Talk to Simon, the cape-selling person wandering around there and he will mention that the army of zombies vanished at the Chaos Altar.
- Use they key you found while tracking on the Trapdoor behind the altar to open it.
- When you feel you're ready to take on some of those Armoured Zombies (level 85), enter the Trapdoor.
- Go a bit north in the dungeon you've entered until you would be forced to go left. Instead, look over the balcony to trigger a cut-scene.
- Now take the turn to the left (there's no other way to go except going back) and pick up three Bottles which spawn there.
- Kill zombies, each time they die, they will release some sort of red mist, use a bottle on the mist to capture it in the bottle. Do this three times so all three Bottles are filled.
- With this mist you're able to walk through the previously-closed door. You will be talking a bit to the legendary Arrav.
- Go further in the dungeon, you may need to gather another three bottles of Red Mist the same way you did before to get through a locked door or two.
- Near the end there'll be another balcony from which you can look at the Skeleton Army. Oh my! They're almost ready to attack Varrock!
- Hartwin will give you a Varrock Teleport tablet to get to Varrock quickly. You can decide yourself whether you want to use it or not because there's no set time when you have to inform Captain Rovin.
- Go report to Captain Rovin in Varrock again to give him the bad news. His hopes are going to be put on the Shield of Arrav. Sadly enough only imcando dwarves should know about its secrets, and they're all extinct... aren't they?
- You will remember Thurgo the only Imcando dwarf left on Gielinor. Bring along your pickaxe to mine a Blurite Ore and go to Thurgo's shed located south of Port Sarim.
- Thurgo will give you a Scrap of Paper that will give you coordinates of where to look for the furnace which should be able to tell you the answer to how the Shield of Arrav works.
- If you didn't do so already, it's best you go mine some Blurite ore, because you will need some later on.
- The coordinates point you to the top of Ice Mountain, located north of Falador. Bring along your Spade, Pickaxe, and coordinate equipment even if you're not using them to look up the coordinates. A source of light is needed as well.
- When you arrive at the spot, use your spade to dig up some snow and then use your pickaxe on the rubble to uncover a hole. Enter it.
- Go speak to the old and blind imcando dwarf in the cave (yes that's right, Thurgo isn't the only one any more!) and ask him to use the furnace.
- After explaining the good cause why the furnace will be used, you'll be asked to put some Blurite Ore in the furnace. Do so by using the Blurite Ore on the furnace.
- You will have to find a relative from the eight elders. Go to Varrock and report to Captain Rovin. He'll tell you to go look in the Library at ground level. Go there.
- In the library speak to Reldo. He had the list on his table, but it was pushed over so the scroll must be on the ground. Search the scrolls to get the list.
- Take a look at the census next to the wall. The census will contain names of everybody in Varrock 9 years ago. Here are the 9 people to who you may need to talk to get to the next step:
- King Roald
- Advisor Aeonisig Raispher (near the king)
- Horvik the smith
- Curator Haig Halen (found in the Museum near the entrance)
- Romeo (found at the main square of Varrock)
- Juliet Leptoc (found west of Varrock in the mansion on the second floor)
- Draul Leptoc (Juliet's father, found at ground level)
- and two more that I forgot about :(
Once someone mentions that he isn't a real descendent from the elder, but knows someone who is, stop looking around and go to the next step.
- Go look in the census to find out you're looking for Dimintheis.
- Dimintheis can be found at the east of Varrock at the closed-off area. Go there and speak with him.
- When you give him the shield, there'll be a very clear effect and a cut-scene will show how Varrock is saved.
- Speak with Captain Rovin and...
