Walkthrough

Starting the quest

• Travel to Uzer in the far east of the Kharidian Desert (north-east of fairy ring DLQ).
• Pick up and read the Letter west of the broken clay golem
• Talk to the golem. ( 1)…

  1	Shall I try to repair you?

• Use four soft clay on the golem. If you chose to bring a pickaxe and a bracelet of clay, clay rocks can be found to the north west, near the shore. The phoenix can be found there as well.
• Talk to the golem again. ( 1)…

  1	How do I open the portal?

The statuette

• Pick a black mushroom near the stairs east of the golem before heading down (or downstairs at your right).
  • Note: Take an extra black mushroom if you plan on completing Shadow of the Storm soon afterwards.
• Climb down the stairs in the ruins.
  • Use (Don't eat!) the black mushroom on the pestle and mortal to get black mushroom ink. You can do this later if you don't have your pestle and mortar.
• Take the strange implement from the north-western room. 
  • Note: Keep the strange implement if you plan on completing Shadow of the Storm soon afterwards.
• Head to north-eastern part of the Digsite and talk to Elissa. ( 3)…

  3	I found a letter in the desert with your name on.

  (make sure to read the letter if no 3rd option is seen)
• Head to the Exam Centre just south of the Digsite.
• Search the bookcase in the south-east corner and read Varmen's notes.
• Note: If you have not repaired the golem up to this point, or read Varmen's Notes the curator will not speak to you about the quest.
• Talk to Curator Haig Halen in the Varrock Museum about the statuette. ( 3•1)…

  3	I'm looking for a statuette recovered from the city of Uzer.
  1	I want to open a portal to the lair of an elder-demon.

  (4-1 if Bone Voyage is started)
• Pickpocket him for the display cabinet key.
• Head to the "1^st floor^[UK]2^nd floor^[US]," upstairs, and open the second case from the left (when the camera is facing north) in the northern-most row. You will get a statuette.

The portal

• Return to the Kharidian Desert (fairy ring DLQ), or teleport to Eagle's Eyrie with Necklace of passage.
• If you still need the Phoenix feather, run north to the clay rocks east of river and pickpocket it from the Phoenix.
• Return to the ruins of Uzer where you started the quest and again go down the stairs.
• In the centre of the room will be four alcoves. Place the statuette in the empty one.
• Turn both west statuettes left and both east statuettes right (make them face north).
• Go north, through the double doors.
• Optional: Use your chisel on the throne for 2 sapphires, emeralds, and rubies.
• Otherwise, immediately go back through the south portal.

The golem

• Go back upstairs and talk to the golem.
• With an empty vial in your inventory, grind the black mushroom using a Pestle and mortar. (don't eat it!).
• Use the phoenix feather on the black mushroom ink.
• Use the phoenix quill pen on a piece of papyrus to get the golem program.
• Use the strange implement on the golem then quickly use the newly acquired golem program on the golem.
