Holy Grail

Murder Mystery

One Small Favour

[skills]

Level 45 Magic

Level 65 Defence

[items]

A set of Black plate Armour(like the one for Heroe's Quest)

A Guards uniform(like the one in Black Knights Fortress Quest)

Runes to teleport to Falador, Ardougne, Camelot.

Runes to Telegrab

To start:

Speak to any Gossip in the Seers/Sinclair Mansion area

Vanished!

Items required: None

Items recommended: None

While speaking to the Gossip, he will tell you that the Sinclair Family has vanished, along with King Arthur. A decision box will come up and you should choose to help if you want to continue the quest.

[hide=Gossip!][/hide] The gossip also informs you that the guard can help you.

The Mansion, Culprits and Proof!

Speak to the guard and you will offer your assistance. He will tell you that the Council has locked up the Mansion and Camelot. Finish the conversation and walk to the East side of the house(near the dog) and smash the window to enter. Look around the house to find the details. In the ground floor dining room, there is one scrap of paper, on the first floor, there is an Address Form, take them both. Both are signified as an item dot(red). Search the bookcase to the Southwest of the table with the Address form on it, you will find a Black Knight Helm.

Go the the entrance and give the 3 pieces of evidence to the guard. He will no longer be able to help you on your quest, thought you will have to speak to a Gossip again.

The Gossip will be able to tell you a condensed version of the history of the Sinclairs. After reading through the information, he will *hint* that the courthouse may be of help.

Suspect behaviour

Items required: None

Items recommended: None

Go back to Seers where the Party Hall used to be and talk to (The suspect). S/he will help you for a price. To get her to tell you where the Family is, you must represent her in the case. She will blabber on about what happened and that her brother is the real culprit. She will also offer the knowledge to a secret passage into Camelot. Agree to help her and she will tell you to talk to the servants, she will also give you a Green Thread as evidence.

Get back to the house and speak to all the Servants. Interrogate them with the first few options, and fully interrogate any other. You will be informed that the thread could belong to another sibling. After talking to them, go back to (the suspect) and go down the stairs. Make sure you are prepared.

Time for Trial

Items required: None

Items recommended: None

A cutscene will follow where you will be in the Courtroom. The judge will ask you to bring witnesses up. If you do, ask all the questions, after that, talk to the judge to bring up the next one(s).

I chose the Maid, the Butler and the Dog Handler as my witnesses. After getting the Jury to *comment* positively on the interrogations, the judge will have had enough and ask the jury for their verdict. If you've done it correctly, it will be NOT GUILTY. Exit the gate after the win and talk to Anna and she will inform you of the shortcut.

Deceptions, deceptions, deceptions

Items required: None

Items recommended: Air Rune/Staff, if not, a lockpick

Go to the East side of the Camelot castle and you will find the statue.

[hide=Statue][/hide]

Search it and you will come into a cutscene. Your Not Guilty Sibling will be talking to the real culprit. You will find out that you have been played by both of them, after a few chat boxes, the newly-freed sibling will say "Do you think 'she' would want to see him?". Continue and Morgan le Faye will appear.

[hide=Backstabbed?][/hide]

After a few chatboxes, she will knock you out and you will end up in a Prison. Talk to Merlin and after a while, you will be talking about escape and reclaiming what has been stolen. To reclaim Camelot, you will not be able to help, but in retrieveing the Grail and saving King Arthur, you will receive some details.

Prisonbreak

Items:required/recommended (above)

To let escape, go the north wall and click "Reach"(vent), you will let Merlin escape. If you have a lockpick, disregard the next two sentences. Talk to the Knights and ask if they can spare anything from their pockets. If you have an Air rune/Staff on you, Telegrab the Guard who is combing their hair and you will receive a hairclip. Try pick the lock and you will have a small game similar to the Evil Stews of Doom, or in other words, Mastermind. After picking the lock you will be on the port outside Keep la Faye.

Sangraal

Go to the top floor and you will encounter another puzzle, similar to the Potions in the Harry Potter book. The box that has the Grail is the 2nd from the right(purple) After opening the correct box, you will receive the Holy Grail.

[hide=pic6 - Boxes][/hide]

Reviving Arthur

Items required: Guard set, Black set

Items recommended: None

Travel to Ardougne talk to Wizard Cromperty(northeast). Your character will tell him that Merlin sent you. Cromperty will tell you that to release Arthur, you will need the Grail, some Granite(near Enakhra's temple) and a Scroll(which he supplies). To get into the Black Knights fortress, you'll need a Bronze Med, Iron Chain and Full Black set.

Teleport to Fally or somewhere close the Fortress and enter it. Don your Black set and push the wall, go down the Ladder and you will be in a small dungeon. King Arthur's statue will be in there. Click "Free King Arthur" and a short cutscene follows where he is freed(Note, you will have to give him your Bronze Med and Iron Chain as a disguise). Teleport to Camelot and speak to King Arthur.

[hide=Arthur!][/hide]

Congrats 'n' quest finished!

  [*:2h8z1432][hide=A simple way to get through the Lockpicking]

start by hitting tumbler one, then move the tumbler height to 0/5, hit solve lock. if the number one is green do the same to two, if blue then 0/5 is correct for either 2, 3 or 4. if red then move up to 1/5, if its blue then 1/5 is correct for one of the other three. green means correct for that one. use this to complete the lock

Thanks a whole bunch to Robert Rdam and Sir Hartlar

You took your time JAGeX!!!

nice guide! :D add me on rs quickly pls i rly need to talk to u very quick

Full black... Do I need kiteshield too?

No kiteshield needed, its just like the Heroe's set black. Also, pictures are being added, as well as reward.

What is the training ground for.

Thanks for the guide too, it will really help, much apreciated, just need 3 more lvls in defence =[

Go to the West side of the Camelot castle

It's the EAST side :)

Doing the quest atm :)

Sweet guide! :thumbup:

Nice Guide =) Really Helped =)

Thanks :thumbsup:

Great Guide. =D>

Excellent guide!

Also, Black Skirts can be used instead of Legs even with male characters. I used one and it worked fine.

Tip:

Take a lockpick instead of telegrab runes

pics don't work for me :(

Your pictures are all broken...

And you didn't mention any full black stuff in the beginning, where can we get that?

You can buy black from the champions guild, varrock armoury, and alkarid pl8 leg shop.

Yup, pics are broken :cry:

Do either of the prayers drain prayer slower/the same rate as combining the three 15% prayers?

Because both of the new ones are far better.

Do either of the prayers drain prayer slower/the same rate as combining the three 15% prayers?

 

 

 

Because both of the new ones are far better.

Just tested it without boost to prayer stat:

on lvl 64 prayer:

15%'s: 1 minute 5 seconds

Chivalry: 1 minute 37 seconds

That's almost 50% longer... I'm pretty sure it's inteded to be 50% o_O

do black chains work?

Do either of the prayers drain prayer slower/the same rate as combining the three 15% prayers?

 

 

 

Because both of the new ones are far better.

Combining all 3 is far inferior than just Piety.

What if just 2?

On 76 prayer

15% attack and Strength prayers lasted 1 minute 55 seconds

Piety lasted 1 minute 57 seconds

Verdict: if you are gonna use more than 1, use Piety

do black chains work?

No, it HAS to be Iron Chain and black plate

I got kicked out of the fortress during the Holy Grail riddle part.

Does anyone know how I get back in?

You can use black (g) or (t) instead of normal black if you already have that.

Does anyone know how I get back in?

Just go back to the statue...le faye will tele you to jail again, but you don't have to picklock again...you just appear in the building where the grail is again.

Good guide but you should say we need full black in items needed and I can't see any picture.

does the black pl8 even respawn?

If black is sold out in the shops on your current world, hop to non-members.
