Hi, I'm currently trying to complete the Shadow of the Storm quest but it appears I can't even clear the first hurdle. Evil Dave will not let me into the Throne Room, not matter what I try!

 

 

 

I've tried wearing various "evil" clothes; black armour, priest gown, shade robes and dyed desert robes all with farseer helm and/or mime boots - all items which are classified by Tip.It as the required "evil" clothes. Furthermore, I have used the black mushroom ink on my SilverLight and have tried getting in whilst wielding it and not wielding it. Nothing.

 

 

 

Nothing I'm trying is working. I've even gone so far as too change my appearance, turning my hair black! :P

 

 

 

I'm nearly totally stumped and I'm positive I haven't done anything wrong so far - it would be hard to get it wrong since I'm still at the start! And yes, I meet all the requirements needed to do the quest.

 

 

 

My last thought is that I spoke to Evil Dave the first time whilst already wearing my evil outfit. Should I have spoken to him without it first, and then tried again whilst wearing it?

 

 

 

I'm so stuck. Any ideas?

are you wearing anything non-evil? that might be the problem

I think you need to make your sword black..

 

pick a black muhsroom near the area and use pestle and moratr with it

 

also you need a vial

No the only things I'm wearing are the parts of my evil outfit, and the only things in my inventory are:

 

 

 

Money.

 

Waterskins.

 

Strange Implement.

 

 

 

I didn't even bother bringing the Desert Robes since I thought having anything white in my inventory would stop me from getting in.

 

 

 

Edit: Nicrune, I've done that already.

Remove the farseer helm and any jewellery you're wearing. You should also bank/unequip your arrows to be thorough. You should also try wearing a black cape because it's so evil! You can get a black cape from a lvl-6 Highwayman that wonders around South Falador, or dye another cape black with the black mushroom ink/dye. I *think* you need to wear at least 3 black pieces of clothing in addition to a black Silverlight. The priest robes may not be evil enough for Evil Dave so you should just wear dyed Desert Robes.

Thank you Celestrana!

 

 

 

You mentioned one of the few things I didn't try - the cape! That's what got me in! I passed Evil Dave's test of evilness by wearing; shades robes with the black cape and wielding my dyed SilverLight!

 

 

 

Thanks to you guys aswell, run4runes and nicrune008, for your input! It was appreciated.

 

 

 

I shall definately come back here if I find myself stuck on a quest again.
