Walkthrough

 

 

 

1: Priest of Guthix

 

 

 

Talk to the priest outside of the cave. He will tell you that the phoenix is mortally wounded and cannot continue the ritual of rebirth himself. The priest is too old and he needs a young adventurer to help the phoenix.

 

 

 

If you ask all the possible questions to the priest he will give you a secateur, knife, and thinderbox.

 

If you brought them yourself already he wont give them to you.

 

 

 

The priest will also explain how the ritual is performed. In order for the phoenix to be reborn there are 5 twigs necessary of 5 particular trees.

 

 

 

2: Cutting the trees

 

 

 

On every level of the lair you will find 1 tree. Use you secateurs on the tree to cut its branches.

 

 

 

3: weaving the basket

 

 

 

Once you have the branches from the cinnamon, sassafras, ailanthus, cedar & mastic tree use your knife on them to fletch the basket.

 

 

 

Put the basket on the logs in the phoenix lair. A movie scene will follow, and the phoenix will crawl to the basket.

 

 

 

4: lighting the basket

 

 

 

Once the movie clip ends use your thinderbox on the basket. The ritual is completed and the fire phoenix will be reborn.

 

 

 

Talk to the phoenix and he will give you 5 feathers used to make level 72 summoning phoenix pouches.

 

 

 

The phoenix will also tell you about a future minigame you can attend once a day. The phoenix wants you to perform the ritual once per day so the phoenix will live longer than the original 500 years.

 

 

 

If you make your way through the guards that protect the lair, and defeat the phoenix you will be given 5 feathers from the phoenix.

 

 

 

5: Brian Twitcher

 

 

 

Finally talk to Brian Twitcher to receive the rest of the reward and to finish the quest.

 

 

 

Reward:

 

1 questpoint

 

5 phoenix quills

 

14.400 firemaking experience

 

12.500 fletching experience

 

11.556 crafting experience

I just read the: how to submit info read by Kiara Kat. I have posted a new post under Website Updates & Suggestions -? Quests. But I have posted in the wrong category as it is not a suggestion, but I want to submit it to the Walkthrough section. Do I have to change it to the proper category or will it be removed to the correct section by the forum operators?

 

 

 

where should I post it to add it for the questguides?

Added to the tips and tricks section should be the parts about Phoenix Lair.

 

 

 

 

 

Adapted from the official RuneScape website...

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=]* After finishing the quest, you will be given access to the Phoenix Lair Distraction and Diversion once each day. Make your way through the caverns just as before. This time, the guardians of the cave are dangerous! You have a Slayer level of at least 51 to fight the phoenix. In addition, you must have a pair of secaturs, a knife, and a tinderbox in your inventory (can someone confirm whether a bow will work as in barbarian training?). The guardians of the cave will be dangerous after finishing the quest.

 

* Each time you complete and ignite the phoenix pyre, you will receive:

 

- 1000 Crafting exp.

 

- 7500 Firemaking exp.

 

- 3000 Fletching exp.

 

- 5000 Slayer exp. the first time you finish the first time ONLY, 500 exp. each time after

 

* After defeating the phoenix, you may ask the reborn phoenix for five additional quills with which you can create phoenix Summoning pouches, level 72 summoning required.

 

* To leave, just as in the quest, escape through the tunnel leading into and out of the last room. There is a slim chance that you may get "lost" and find a phoenix egg, which can be hatched by either clapping (emote?) or kicking. Clapping will get you a 'cute eggling' and kicking will get you a 'mean eggling' and you may have only one of each type of pet.[/hide]

I wrote a full walkthrough but you posted first so here are some additions: The trees, in each cave level, are found in the green patch visible on your minimap. 51 slayer is required to fight the pheonix after the quest has been completed and no items are required as if you ask the priest about the ritual he will supply you with secateurs, knife and tinderbox. I also have some screen shots if you want them :

Moving this to Player Made Guides so that other Forum Users will know where to look for it. We (the Crew) ALWAYS check there for user guides. Thanks for writing it, we need more quest guide help from users!

[Forerunner]
