The Nature Spirit quest in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a novice-level quest that takes players deep into the eerie Mort Myre Swamp. This quest is part of the Myreque quest series and unlocks access to the Nature Grotto, the ability to kill Ghasts, and the Altar of Nature for prayer boosts. In this SEO-optimized quick guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to complete the Nature Spirit quest efficiently, with tips to avoid common pitfalls and maximize rewards.

Before diving into the Mort Myre Swamp, ensure you’re prepared with the necessary requirements and recommended items to make the quest smoother.

Quest Prerequisites

  • Priest in Peril: You must complete this quest to access Morytania.
  • The Restless Ghost: This grants the Amulet of Ghostspeak, essential for communication in the quest.

Skill Requirements

  • Level 18 Crafting: Needed to craft a Silver Sickle (can be bypassed if you bring one).
  • Ability to defeat three Ghasts (level 30).

Recommended Items

  • Amulet of Ghostspeak: To speak with Filliman Tarlock.
  • Silver Sickle or a Silver Bar and Sickle Mould to craft one.
  • Prayer Potions (1-2): For casting Bloom spells, which require prayer points.
  • Food: To counter damage from Ghasts and the swamp environment.
  • Stamina Potion: To navigate the swamp faster.
  • Weapon and Armor: To kill three Ghasts (level 30).

Tip: Ensure you have prayer points before starting, as they’re required for casting spells. You can recharge at the Paterdomus Temple altar if needed.

Starting the Nature Spirit Quest

The quest begins with Drezel, who needs your help to find his friend Filliman Tarlock in the Mort Myre Swamp.

Locating Drezel

Head to the Paterdomus Temple, located between Varrock and Canifis. Drezel is underground, near the entrance to Morytania from the Priest in Peril quest. The fastest route is via the Canifis lodestone or a teleport to Varrock, then running east.

Talk to Drezel (chat options: 2, ✓, 4, 1). He’ll give you three meat pies and three apple pies to deliver to Filliman, warning you about Ghasts that may rot your food. Don’t worry about the pies, as they aren’t needed for the quest.

Navigating Mort Myre Swamp

Exit the temple and head south through Morytania. Find the gate along the fence to enter Mort Myre Swamp—you must use the gate, or Filliman won’t appear later. Continue south until you spot a round island with a grotto tree northwest of Mort’ton.

Warning: Ghasts in the swamp may rot food or deal 2-3 damage if you have none. You’ll also lose 3 health every 2 minutes in the swamp (except on Filliman’s island or in the grotto). Cross the broken bridge to the grotto, but be cautious—you may take up to 7 damage if you fail.

Helping Filliman Tarlock

Filliman Tarlock, a ghostly druid, needs your assistance to become a Nature Spirit. This section covers the steps to convince him of his ghostly state and gather the required items.

Convincing Filliman He’s a Ghost

Attempt to enter the grotto tree (the small black hole). Filliman will appear. Equip your Amulet of Ghostspeak and talk to him (chat option 2). He won’t believe he’s dead, so search the nearby table (labeled “Bench”) to find a washing bowl with a mirror underneath. Use the mirror on Filliman to convince him.

He’ll then ask for his journal. Right-click the grotto tree to search it, obtain the journal, and use it on Filliman (chat option 4). He’ll give you a Druidic Spell and explain he needs three things to become a Nature Spirit:

  • Something with faith
  • Something of nature
  • Something of the spirit-to-become freely given

Obtaining Something with Faith

Return to Drezel at Paterdomus Temple and ask him to bless you. He’ll confirm “there does seem to be something of the faith about you” and offer to teleport you back to the grotto. Accept the teleport to save time.

Collecting Something of Nature

Back in the swamp, find a rotting log northwest of the grotto. Stand next to it (not on it) and cast the Druidic Spell to grow a Mort Myre Fungus. Pick it up quickly, as it disappears fast, and show it to Filliman. He’ll confirm it’s the “something of nature.” Keep the Used Spell card, as it’s needed later.

Tip: If you lose the fungus or spell, ask Filliman for another Druidic Spell. You can also collect extra fungi now for later steps.

Completing the Transformation Ritual

With the items gathered, it’s time to perform the ritual to transform Filliman into a Nature Spirit.

Solving the Stone Puzzle

Outside the grotto, locate three stones:

  • Light-brown (Western) Stone: Use the Mort Myre Fungus on this.
  • Grey (Eastern) Stone: Use the Used Spell card on this.
  • Orange (Southern) Stone: Stand on this.

Note: You must use the items on the stones, not drop them. If Filliman isn’t present, try entering the grotto to summon him. Stand on the orange stone and tell Filliman you’ve solved the puzzle (chat option 3). He’ll begin his transformation and ask you to enter the grotto.

Transforming Filliman

Enter the grotto by clicking the tree’s black hole. Search the grotto in the center of the cave, and Filliman will appear as a Nature Spirit. He’ll ask for a Silver Sickle. If you don’t have one, craft it using a silver bar and sickle mould at a furnace (e.g., in Al Kharid or Falador). Give the sickle to Filliman, who will bless it into a Silver Sickle (b) and give you a Druid Pouch.

Killing Ghasts and Completing the Quest

The final step involves defeating three Ghasts to fully restore the Nature Grotto.

Filling the Druid Pouch

Exit the grotto and find rotting logs, bushes, or branches in the swamp. Right-click the Silver Sickle (b) and select “Bloom” (requires prayer points) to grow Mort Myre Fungi, Pears, or Stems. Collect at least three items and add them to the Druid Pouch by clicking “Fill” (left-click option).

Tip: Ghasts may rot pouch contents, so collect extra items if possible. Use a prayer potion if you run low on prayer points.

Defeating Three Ghasts

Use the filled Druid Pouch on nearby Ghasts to make them visible (level 30), consuming one charge per Ghast. Kill three Ghasts using any weapon (the sickle isn’t required). Each Ghast grants 30 Prayer XP (90 total).

Finishing the Quest

Return to the grotto, search it, and speak to Filliman. He’ll redecorate the grotto into the Nature Grotto, completing the quest. Warning: Don’t drop items before speaking to Filliman, as they’ll be lost in the “old” grotto.

Pro Tip: Pray at the Altar of Nature before leaving to complete an easy task for the Morytania Diary.
