Follow these detailed steps to complete the Holy Grail quest efficiently. We’ve broken it down into manageable sections to guide you through each phase.

Starting the Quest

Begin by heading to Camelot Castle, located north of Seers’ Village. You can use a Camelot teleport or walk from the Seers’ Village bank.

  1. Speak to King Arthur in the throne room (Chat option 1•1). He’ll brief you on the Holy Grail and ask for your help.
  2. Go upstairs to the eastern room on the 1st floor (2nd floor in US terms) to find Merlin. He won’t appear on the minimap until you enter the room. Speak to him (Chat option 1) to learn about two leads: a holy island (Entrana) and Sir Galahad, west of McGrubor’s Wood.

Investigating Entrana

Entrana is a sacred island that prohibits weapons and armor, so prepare accordingly.

  1. Bank all combat gear, including Excalibur, using the deposit box at Port Sarim.
  2. Travel to Port Sarim and speak to the monks on the pier to sail to Entrana.
  3. On Entrana, enter the church and talk to the High Priest (Chat option 3). He’ll reveal the Grail is no longer there.
  4. A strange old crone will appear, informing you that the Fisher King is in trouble. She mentions finding a magic whistle at a haunted manor (Draynor Manor) and blowing it where four stone heads point.

Obtaining the Holy Table Napkin

The holy table napkin is crucial for accessing the magic whistles.

  1. Return to Camelot (use a teleport or Combat Bracelet to the Ranging Guild).
  2. Head west of McGrubor’s Wood to Sir Galahad’s house (fairy ring code ALS or Combat Bracelet to Ranging Guild). Speak to him (Chat option 4) and ask about an item from the Fisher Realm. He’ll give you a holy table napkin.
  3. Optional: Speak to Galahad again (Chat option 3) to complete a Kandarin Easy Diary task.

Collecting Magic Whistles

With the holy table napkin in your inventory, you can now see the magic whistles.

  1. Travel to Draynor Manor (use an Amulet of Glory to Draynor Village or teleport to Falador).
  2. Go to the top floor and enter the southern room near Professor Oddenstein. Pick up two magic whistles from the table (they won’t appear without the napkin).

Fighting the Black Knight Titan

The Black Knight Titan is a level 120 boss that requires careful preparation.

  1. Gather your combat gear, Excalibur, food, one magic whistle, and an antipoison (if needed).
  2. Travel to Brimhaven (use Captain Barnaby’s ship from Ardougne for 30 coins or charter a ship from Catherby).
  3. Head northwest to a peninsula with a watchtower. Stand under the tower and blow a magic whistle to teleport to the Fisher Realm.
  4. In the Fisher Realm, you’ll encounter the Black Knight Titan on a bridge. Engage him in melee combat, as he’s highly resistant to Magic and Ranged.
  5. Important: Use Excalibur for the final blow, or the Titan will heal to full health. You can use another weapon for most of the fight to conserve Excalibur’s durability.
  6. Tip: Safespot the Titan by running back and forth on the bridge, or use a halberd for safer melee attacks.

Navigating the Fisher Realm

After defeating the Titan, you’ll need to enter the Fisher King’s castle and progress the story.

Entering the Castle

  1. Head south along the river and speak to the Fisherman (Chat option 2). He’ll tell you to ring a bell to enter the castle.
  2. Go southwest to the castle, pick up the Grail bell from the ground near the entrance, and ring it while standing in front of the bricks.
  3. A Grail Maiden will let you inside. Head upstairs to the southern room and speak to the Fisher King (Chat options 2•1). Exhaust all dialogue options to avoid having to fight the Titan again.
  4. The Fisher King is ill and wishes to see his son, Sir Percival, a Knight of the Round Table.

Finding Sir Percival

  1. Blow your magic whistle to leave the Fisher Realm or teleport to Camelot if you have runes.
  2. Speak to King Arthur in Camelot (ensure one inventory slot is free). He’ll give you a magic gold feather that points to Sir Percival’s location.
  3. Travel to Goblin Village (north of Falador). Use the feather to confirm the direction, then enter the eastern house and open the sacks to find Sir Percival.
  4. Give Percival a magic whistle and inform him his father needs him.

Retrieving the Holy Grail

With Percival on his way, it’s time to claim the Grail.

Returning to the Fisher Realm

  1. Return to the watchtower northwest of Brimhaven and blow a magic whistle to re-enter the Fisher Realm. Alternatively, use fairy ring code BJR if unlocked.
  2. Head to the castle, where Percival is now the new Fisher King.
  3. Go upstairs in the eastern tower, climb the ladder, and pick up the Holy Grail from the table.

Completing the Quest

  1. Blow your whistle to exit the Fisher Realm or teleport to Camelot.
  2. Speak to King Arthur in Camelot Castle to hand over the Holy Grail.
  3. Congratulations! Quest complete!
