Step-by-Step Guide to Get Into Darkmeyer

Once you’ve met the prerequisites, follow these steps to infiltrate Darkmeyer. This guide focuses on the key moments leading to your first entry.

Start the Sins of the Father Quest

Head to Burgh de Rott and speak to Veliaf Hurtz in the basement of the pub (accessible via a trapdoor). He’ll brief you on the Myreque’s plan to infiltrate Darkmeyer and confront the vampyres. Accept the quest to begin.

Tip: Use Drakan’s Medallion to teleport to Burgh de Rott for quick access.

Navigate Meiyerditch

The quest requires you to travel through Meiyerditch, Morytania’s slum city, to reach Darkmeyer’s entrance. From Burgh de Rott, take the boat to Meiyerditch’s southern dock. Follow the quest markers to meet Vanescula Drakan, who provides crucial assistance.

You’ll need to climb through a drainage grate in northern Meiyerditch to enter Darkmeyer. This requires avoiding Vyrewatch patrols or using smoke bombs (provided during the quest).

Pro Tip: Stick to the shadows and use rooftops to avoid detection.

Obtain Vyre Noble Clothing

Upon reaching Darkmeyer’s outskirts, Vanescula instructs you to disguise yourself as a vampyre noble. Search chests in Meiyerditch buildings to collect pieces of Vyre Noble Clothing (hood, torso, trousers, boots). Use a needle and thread (provided) to repair them, then equip the full set.

This disguise prevents Vyrewatch from attacking you in Darkmeyer, allowing safe exploration.

Enter Darkmeyer

With the disguise equipped, speak to Vanescula again. She’ll guide you through the drainage grate into Darkmeyer’s lower tier. Congratulations—you’re in! From here, the quest continues, but you’ve unlocked basic access to the city.

Note: To access the middle and upper tiers (and features like the Blisterwood Tree), you must progress further in Sins of the Father.

Tips for Surviving Darkmeyer

Darkmeyer is dangerous, even with a disguise. Here are essential tips to thrive in the vampyre capital.

Avoid Detection Without a Disguise

If you enter Darkmeyer without Vyre Noble Clothing, Vyrewatch will attack, dealing significant damage. Always keep your disguise equipped, especially in the lower and middle tiers.

Use Drakan’s Medallion for Travel

After completing A Taste of Hope, Drakan’s Medallion becomes your best friend. It offers unlimited teleports to Darkmeyer, Meiyerditch, Burgh de Rott, and other Morytania locations. Keep it in your inventory to save time.

Prepare for Combat

Sins of the Father includes tough boss fights, like Vanstrom Klause. Bring high-level combat gear, prayer potions, and food. Use Protect from Melee and Blisterwood weapons (unlocked during the quest) for maximum effectiveness.

Explore Safely

Darkmeyer’s three tiers—lower, middle, and upper—have different dangers. The lower tier has weaker vampyres, while the upper tier houses elites like Vyrelords. Stick to your quest objectives until you’re comfortable navigating the city.

Activities to Do After Entering Darkmeyer

Once you’re in Darkmeyer, a world of content opens up. Here are the top activities to explore after gaining access.

Mine Daeyalt Essence

The Daeyalt Essence Mine in Darkmeyer’s lower tier requires 60 Mining. Mine active Daeyalt deposits for shards, then trade them for essence. This essence grants 50% more Runecrafting XP, perfect for training efficiently.

XP Rate: Up to 105k XP/hour when crafting Lava Runes at the ZMI altar.

Pickpocket Vyrewatch

With 82 Thieving, pickpocket Vyrelords or Vyreladies in the middle and upper tiers. They drop Blood Shards, used to create the Amulet of Blood Fury, plus other loot like coins and runes.

Profit: Around 1-2M GP/hour with high Thieving.

Access the Hallowed Sepulchre

The Hallowed Sepulchre, a crypt in Darkmeyer’s northeast, is an agility minigame (requires 52 Agility, boosted to 66 for full access). Navigate traps to earn Hallowed Marks, which buy items like the Dark Acorn or Ring of Endurance.

XP Rate: Up to 80k Agility XP/hour at high levels.

Craft Blisterwood Weapons

Complete Sins of the Father to access the Blisterwood Tree in the Arboretum (upper tier). Fletch logs into weapons like the Blisterwood Flail, ideal for killing vampyres and Slayer tasks.
