Start point:
Go to Burgh de Rott and into the basement of the inn there and speak to Veliaf Hurtz.
Instructions:
Items needed: 2 planks, 8 nails and a hammer
Items recommended: Vyrewatch outfit or 1,950gp to purchase one once you get to the city (only if your Thieving or Hitpoints is low)
To begin the "Darkness of Hallowvale" quest in RuneScape, venture into the basement of the Burgh de Rott pub and have a conversation with Veliaf Hurtz. Express your willingness to assist and inquire, "How should I gain entry to the Sanguinesti region?" This inquiry will trigger the quest, with Veliaf urging you to establish contact with the Myreque in Meiyerditch. Proceed southeast to the nearby docks, where you'll discover a hut containing a boat. It's essential to repair both the boat and the boat chute, employing a plank and four nails for each. Once these repairs are completed, you can either bank or discard your hammer. Next, carefully push the boat down the chute into the water and embark upon it, commencing your journey to Meiyerditch, where your quest adventure unfolds. Be prepared for challenging encounters and obstacles as you navigate this perilous territory.
Upon arriving at the damaged southern end of the wall in Meiyerditch during the "Darkness of Hallowvale" quest in RuneScape, perform the following steps:
1. Jump over a gap and climb up, ensuring not to pass the rubble, which indicates that you've gone too far.
2. Search the floor to the right of the wall (right-click option) and proceed to kick the boards in.
3. Climb down into the passage below.
After entering the town of Meiyerditch, engage in a conversation with any local citizen. Inquire about the Myreque and then discreetly mention your urgent need to meet them. They will advise you to speak with Old Man Ral. Speak with them again and request an introduction to Old Man Ral, mentioning that a friend recommended him.
Old Man Ral can be found a little northeast of your entry point into Meiyerditch, specifically three buildings north of the wall rubble you climbed over (and one building north of Trader Sven). Initiate a conversation with Old Man Ral and inform him that "Someone said you could help me." Next, refer to him as the "Sage of Sanguinesti."
At this point, Old Man Ral should provide you with guidance on how to reach Sector 3 of the city by following sickle symbols on the walls.
Optional: Nearby, Trader Sven offers the Vyrewatch outfit for sale. Wearing this disguise while traversing the city will reduce the frequency with which the Vyrewatch stops you. This option is particularly useful if you have a low Thieving or Hitpoints level, as the Vyrewatch are not very dangerous. When stopped by them, you have several choices:
Pay a blood tithe (costs 6 Hitpoints) - the default option if you don't choose.
Challenge them with "Bring it on," leading to a Vyrewatch attack (you can run away, but they are invulnerable at this stage).
Attempt to distract them (with a success rate dependent on your Thieving level).
Choose "Send me to the mines!" (this option becomes available after you've discovered the Myreque hideout). You won't lose health but will need to mine 15 Daeyalt ores, place them in a minecart, and speak to a guard to leave. You'll reappear in the northeast part of the city, and if you don't have a pickaxe, a miner will provide one.

Myreque meetings
Speak to Vertida Sefalatis in the northern room of the hideout, informing him of your mission to investigate and contact the Myreque. He will provide you with a message to deliver to Veliaf Hurtz in Burgh de Rott.
Return to Burgh de Rott using your preferred method of travel and speak with Veliaf Hurtz in the pub's basement. Ensure you go through all available chat options. Veliaf will instruct you to seek out Drezel at the Temple of the Salve in Paterdomus. You can reach this location using either the Fairy ring code "c.k.s" or the Salve Graveyard teleport. Another option is to complete Temple Trekking to reach Paterdomus.
Urgent Business
Items needed: A knife or a sickle
Items recommended: Any pickaxe (the strongest you can wield) and three free spaces for mining Daeyalt ores
Go to Drezel in Paterdomus and have a conversation with him. He'll inform you of strange noises outside the temple and ask you to investigate. Ascend the ladder in the western room and exit the temple. To the west of Paterdomus, past the stairs, look for a searchable bush. A brief cutscene will occur, and you'll be knocked unconscious. During the cutscene, you'll witness werewolves who have somehow crossed the River Salve.
Return to Drezel and report what you observed. He instructs you to speak with King Roald and provides you with runes for a Varrock Teleport.
Head to Varrock Castle and have a conversation with King Roald, who can be found on the ground floor on the east side. You'll engage in an extended, unproductive conversation. Afterward, Aeonisig Raispher will offer you a free teleport back to Paterdomus. However, you will need to return to Burgh de Rott instead. Speak with Veliaf Hurtz once more.
Use the boat you repaired earlier to travel back to Meiyerditch. Proceed to Vertida Sefalatis, either by following the rooftop route mentioned earlier or by utilizing the faster alternative method described below.
Alternative route to Vertida Sefalatis |
Speak to any Vyrewatch and ask to be sent to the mines. |
Mine 15 Daeyalt ores and place them in the minecart. If you have no pickaxe, talk to a miner to obtain a bronze one. |
Once the mine cart is full, talk to a guard to leave. You will appear up on the surface, north-east of the slums. |
See the map on the right side of this page. Follow the blue path to the first green dot. |
From there, follow the old route; climb up the ladder, jump east to the floorboards, climb down the stairs, and go south-east through the hidden door. |
Push the wall to the north and enter the trapdoor underneath the rug (south-east corner). |
After descending through the trapdoor, locate Vertida Sefalatis. He will instruct you to have a conversation with Safalaan Hallow, positioned on a wall near the castle. Request Vertida to lead the way, and he will guide you to the southern part of Meiyerditch.
Scoping Castle Drakan
Items needed: 4 free inventory spaces.
Items recommended: Armour and food if you cannot use Protect from Melee.
Starting from the south of Meiyerditch, reach Safalaan Hallow with the following steps;
Route to Safalaan Hallow |
Climb down the ladder. |
Head south and climb over the wall rubble where you first came into the city. |
Head south climb up the floor to get on top of the wall. Then, travel as far north on the wall as you can, until you reach a ladder you can go down. |
Proceed down the ladder. |
Search the rocky surface (east wall) to unlock the false wall to the north (labeled as "barricade"). |
Open the barricade; then go north, and climb the ladder. |
Go north along the wall, up a ladder and down one to cross a gap, and keep going north until you reach the Darkmeyer south wall. |
Climb the wall and go north until you see Safalaan. |
After conversing with Safalaan, he'll task you with sketching three sides of the castle – first the north, then west, and finally the south. These locations are marked by sickle symbols on the ground, and Safalaan will equip you with the necessary tools, papyrus, and charcoal to complete the drawings. It's important to note that certain RuneLite textures may obscure these symbols, so keep that in mind. To begin, make your way to the rear of the castle, following the western path. Pass by the west sickle symbol, then continue around to locate the one on the northern side. While standing atop this symbol, create the first sketch. Return to the west side of the castle to complete the second sketch. Upon doing so, a brief cutscene will unfold, featuring Vanstrom Klause conversing with Vanescula Drakan and Ranis Drakan, followed by their consumption of fresh blood and their eventual departure by flight.
Proceed to the southeastern side of the castle, near the juncture between the castle wall and the area where you had the conversation with Safalaan. Attempt to create another drawing on the sickle symbol located there. However, your attempt will be abruptly interrupted as Vanstrom Klause attacks you. It's important to note that you won't be able to inflict any damage on him, and there is a possibility of getting defeated in this encounter. Vanstrom exclusively employs melee attacks, so employing Protect from Melee prayer will prevent any damage. Should you succumb to Vanstrom's assault after his fifth attack, you'll find yourself teleported back to your grave, and the cutscene will continue.
Following these events, after enduring five attacks from Vanstrom when he's unable to defeat you, a cutscene will ensue. Upon regaining consciousness, engage in a conversation with Vanescula's servant, Sarius Guile. Sarius will provide you with a lengthy hint about the whereabouts of a secret laboratory. Ensure that you complete your final drawing during this time. Subsequently, your quest log should reflect the task: "I have all three sketches of the castle. I need to take them to Safalaan."
The secret laboratory
Items needed: Be on the normal spellbook. A knife or a sickle
Items recommended: Any pickaxe (the strongest you can wield) and three free spaces for mining Daeyalt ores
To progress with your mission, return to the Myreque base in Meiyerditch using your preferred route, with having a Vyrewatch send you to the mine being the quickest option. Just before entering the base, make your way to the building with the fireplace, which is located just west of the rug entrance. If you don't have a knife, climb the ladder inside the building and retrieve one from the table. Use the knife on the fireplace to uncover a hidden message. It's important to note that using a sickle will yield a message indicating it's the wrong shape. After revealing the message, use the knife on the portrait in the same room. If you don't find the message, attempting to cut the tapestry will result in a message stating, "you see no reason to destroy this tapestry." Search the slashed portrait to obtain a large ornate key.
Return to Vertida, who is now accompanied by Safalaan. Provide Safalaan with the message you obtained from the fireplace and the three sketches of the castle.
After conversing with Safalaan, leave the base. Ascend the stairs, jump to the west, descend the ladder, and exit the house from its northern side. Proceed north through the house. Continue heading northeast while staying close to the eastern wall. You will come across a house with a visibly large tapestry in one of its rooms, adorned with red and yellow colors. Enter this house and use your knife on the tapestry. Walk through the tapestry after cutting it. Employ the large ornate key on the vampyre statue to unlock the entrance to the secret laboratory. Do NOT attempt to open the door using the key, as it will inflict 10 damage.
Once the door is open, descend the stairs. You can search the broken rune case located to the west of the staircase to find some runes, including Telekinetic Grab runes. Use Telekinetic Grab on the book titled "Haemalchemy volume 1" in the room to progress further in your mission.
Exit the room and bring the book back to Safalaan. He will instruct you to return to Veliaf Hurtz with a sealed message. At this point, you'll have the option to use the shortcut doors on the path to the Myreque Hideout, although it's worth noting that being teleported to the mine remains the faster method.
To proceed, make your way back to Burgh de Rott using any suitable means, and locate Veliaf Hurtz in the basement of the pub. Upon speaking with him, you'll successfully conclude the quest.
Congratulations! Quest Complete!
