Step-by-Step Walkthrough

This section breaks down the Haunted Mine quest into manageable steps. Follow along to breeze through the mine’s twists and turns.

Starting the Quest

Head to the Abandoned Mine, south of Mort Myre Swamp, west of Burgh de Rott.
Speak to the Zealot north of the mine entrance. Choose dialogue options: (1•1•1•3•1•1•1).
Pickpocket the Zealot to obtain the Zealot’s Key.

Navigating the Mine

Climb over the mine cart south of the Zealot and enter the tunnel.
Run west through the cave, exit via the cart tunnel, then re-enter through the southern entrance.
Descend the nearby ladder, then go east and down another ladder.
Head south along the moving cart tracks. Use alcoves to avoid damage from the cart, then climb down the next ladder.

Solving the Mine Cart Puzzle

This puzzle can be tricky, but here’s how to ace it:

Pick a Glowing Fungus near the ladder you just descended.
Go northwest and place the fungus in the searchable mine cart.
Head northwest again to the points settings board. Note the correct configuration (top-right ladder exit).
Compare your settings to the solution. Adjust levers A-E (southeast) and F-K (northwest) as needed.
Press the red start button. If the cart reaches the ladder, proceed; if not, grab another fungus and retry.

Tip: Don’t teleport out with the fungus—it’ll turn to ash!

Powering the Lift

Backtrack to the first cave room (or teleport and re-enter).
Go up the ladder near the fungus spawn, navigate past the haunted cart, and climb the eastern ladder.
Exit west, re-enter the northern cave, and descend ladder 2.
Go northeast, down the ladder by the doors, then west and down the northwest ladder.
Search the cart south of you to retrieve the fungus.
Head southeast to the water valve. Use the Zealot’s Key to activate it, then quickly run to the lift and go down to Cave Level 5.

Facing Treus Dayth

From the lift, walk south, then east, and descend the staircase.
Enter the western door to confront Treus Dayth (level 95).
Pick up the Innocent-Looking Key to start the fight.
Use Protect from Missiles to block his ranged attacks. Avoid mine carts (36 damage if hit).
Corner him in the northeast, then attack from the detached northern shaft to minimize his teleporting.
Once defeated, take the Crystal-Mine Key.

Finishing the Quest

Exit east, go up the stairs, then west and down another staircase.
Use the Crystal-Mine Key on the large door.
Cut a Salve Shard from a crystal outcrop with your chisel.
Teleport out or backtrack to the surface. Quest complete!
