Description: Merlin the wizard has carelessly become imprisoned inside a giant crystal. Take up king Arthur's quest to free Merlin and become one of the knights of the round table.
Difficulty Level: Medium - Hard
Items/Skills Needed To Start: Some good armor, a good weapon.
Starting Location: Camelot Palace (the castle northwest of Catherby)
Reward: 6 Quest Points, and the ability to do the Holy Grail quest.
Instructions:
Talk to King Arthur in the Camelot Castle north of Catherby. He will tell you about Merlin trapped in a crystal. Talk to Sir Gawain about how Merlin was trapped and learn about the Sorceress. Then talk to Sir Lancelot about how to get into Morgan Le Fayes stronghold. He'll tell you about the boat, then head west of the fishing areas.
Stow away on the ship at Arhein's, but somebody has to talk to Arhein while you do it. Once you do you'll sneak under and arrive where Renegade Knights (level 51) are everywhere.
Start walking up the stairs until you reach the top. Fight any renegade knights or just run. There should be 2 or 3 Sir Mordreds standing there around weird symbols on the ground. Attack one of these, nearly kill it and the sorceress will appear. She will ask you to stop. Tell her that you will if she tells you how to untrap Merlin. She will tell you about a black candle, some magic words, and Excalibur. Once done talking, go to the second story.
On the 2nd story there is a ladder on the west side. Go down it and you will drop out of the fortress. There should be some bats or bat bones there outside. Attack a bat or pick up some bat bones and head over to the bank. Bank the bones. Head south to the docks where you boarded the ship and get a bucket from the crate near him. Now head north of the bank and get the insect repellent off the table in a room. Now head over to the beehives west of there. Use the repellent on the beehives, and after the bees leave get the wax by using your bucket on the hive.
Talk to the candle maker in the shop next to the bank. Ask him about black candles. Then give him the bucket full of wax. Go bank your black candlestick he gave you.
Head to Taverly and go south to the lake. Go out into the middle of the lake on the peninsula. Talk to the Lady of the Lake. She will tell you about Excalibur and then tell you to go to the Jewellery shop in Port Sarim. Head over to Port Sarim but first get some bread. Then go to the Jewellery shop. When you try to enter a beggar will ask you for bread. Give him the bread. The beggar turns into the Lady of the Lake and she will give you the magical sword. Now go north to Varrock.
Head north of Varrock into the wilderness. Take only 3 items, but you don't need any really. Find an altar around level 10-12, which is surrounded by lava with the entrance on the north side. Search the altar and you will find an inscription.
Now head back to Camelot. Bring your black candle, bat bones, and Excalibur. If your candle is not lit, light it with a tinderbox (can be bought from a general store for 1 coin). Drop your bat bones on the weird symbol under the white overhang northeast of the Camelot Castle. A demon will appear. Select the phrase that was shown to you on the altar:
"Snarthon Candtrick Termanto"
Now go over to the east wing of the Camelot Castle with your Excalibur. Go up the ladder, and then go across to the east side. Go up that ladder. Strike Merlin with the sword. The crystal should break!
Go talk to King Arthur for your reward.
