2. Key Item Preparation

The quest involves combat, jungle exploration, and puzzle-solving, so bring a balanced setup.

Essential Items

Machete (for cutting jungle)

Hatchet (for chopping trees)

Pickaxe (for mining tasks)

Lockpick (for a trapped chest section)

Rope ×2

Papyrus ×3

Charcoal ×3

Gold Bar

Ardrigal, Snake Weed, Rogue’s Purse, Sito Foil, Volencia Moss, Ranaar Weed

Milled Sulphur, Water-filled vial, Pestle and mortar

Ranging or melee gear for combat

Anti-poison potions

Stamina or energy potions

Food (Sharks or better recommended)

Optional but helpful:

Ardougne Teleport runes or tablets

Amulet of Glory for quick teleports

Rune Pouch for spell convenience

3. Starting the Quest

To begin, head to the Legends’ Guild, located just southwest of Ardougne Zoo. Speak to Radimus Erkle inside the guild to start the quest.

He’ll give you Radimus notes, which act as your jungle map. You must fill them with information by exploring and completing the objectives in the Kharazi Jungle.

4. Entering the Kharazi Jungle

Travel to Shilo Village and speak to Gujuo, a jungle native who helps you understand the totem ritual.

Then, enter the Kharazi Jungle using your machete and hatchet. Be prepared — the area contains aggressive monsters like Oomlie birds, Jungle wolves, and tribesmen who can poison you.

Fast Tip:

Cut through the northern jungle paths near the water to minimize travel time — it’s the shortest route to quest objectives.

5. Finding the Totem Pole

Your first main task is to discover the sacred totem pole and document it for Radimus’ notes. To do this:

Search around the central Kharazi Jungle until you find the totem pole structure.

Use your charcoal and papyrus to make a rubbing of the symbols on the pole.

Add this rubbing to your Radimus notes to record your findings.

Keep an eye out for the Jungle Forester NPCs, who may help guide you if you get lost.

6. Meeting Gujuo Again

Return to Gujuo, who will explain that the tribe’s sacred water source has been blocked. To help him, you’ll need to locate and unblock it deep underground.

7. The Underground Caves

The next section takes place in a multi-layered cave system full of traps, puzzles, and enemies.

How to Complete Quickly:

Enter the cave through the water pool found in the jungle (you’ll need a rope).

Kill spirit creatures and collect Holy Water from the pool inside.

Mine through boulders and solve basic lever puzzles to advance.

Defeat Nezikchened, the demon blocking the water source.

Combat Tip:

Nezikchened is a tough demon with strong melee attacks and magic resistance. Use Protect from Melee and Ranged attacks (e.g., Rune Crossbow or Magic Shortbow) for a safer fight.

8. Restoring the Water Flow

After defeating the demon, return to Gujuo and report your success. You’ll now need to create a blessed gold bowl to carry sacred water for the tribe’s rituals.

How to Create the Blessed Bowl:

Bring your gold bar and hammer to the Legends’ Guild anvil.

Use the gold bar to make a gold bowl (requires 50 Smithing).

Speak with Gujuo again to bless the bowl with sacred water.

This item will help you complete the totem restoration ceremony.

9. The Totem Restoration

Return to the central jungle to perform the restoration ritual:

Pour sacred water from the bowl onto the totem pole.

Defeat Nezikchened once more in his final form — this time, he’s stronger and uses both melee and magic attacks.

After the fight, the totem pole will be restored, and the jungle spirits will bless you.

Pro Tip: Bring an anti-poison and high-healing food; the demon’s attacks are deadly if you’re unprepared.

10. Completing the Quest

Once the totem is restored, return to Radimus Erkle at the Legends’ Guild.

He will congratulate you and grant you full membership to the guild, access to the Legends’ Shop, and the right to wear the Legends’ Cape.

You’ll also receive Radimus notes, which grant you 4 experience lamps, each giving 7,650 XP to any skill above level 50 — that’s over 30,000 XP total!

11. Recommended Rewards and Uses

When using your XP lamps, it’s best to invest in expensive or slow-to-train skills, such as:

Herblore

Runecrafting

Agility

Smithing

These skills have slower XP rates and are perfect candidates for the lamps.

12. Quick Completion Summary

If you’re already well-prepared, the Legends’ Quest can be completed in 2–3 hours by following this optimized path:

Gather all required items before starting.

Start at the Legends’ Guild → travel to Kharazi Jungle.

Record the totem symbols with papyrus and charcoal.

Enter the caves → defeat Nezikchened → unblock the water source.

Craft and bless the gold bowl.

Restore the totem → defeat the final boss.

Return to Radimus for completion and rewards.

Efficient teleport usage (Ardougne, Shilo Village, and Amulet of Glory) can save up to 30 minutes of travel time.

13. Final Tips for Efficiency

Bring super energy potions or stamina potions for jungle traversal.

Prayer potions are crucial for both demon fights.

If you fail to kill Nezikchened, you can safely retreat and try again.

Consider using rsgoldfast to obtain extra gold or potions beforehand to save time prepping.
