Pious Pete
Pious Pete is a non-player character (NPC) found in Runescape, specifically in the Varrock area. He is a devotee of Saradomin, the god of order and purity, and he can be located south of the Varrock church, near the entrance to the Varrock cemetery.
Pious Pete is best known for his unique role in the Animal Magnetism quest. He plays a significant role towards the beginning of the quest, where players must assist him in recovering his precious spade, which is essential for his work in the cemetery.
To start interacting with Pious Pete, players can speak to him directly. He will express his distress about having lost the spade while working as a gravedigger. He explains that the burials have become more difficult without it and seeks help in locating it.
Upon accepting his quest, players must search the nearby cemetery. The spade can be found after defeating several undead creatures that guard it. Once players retrieve the spade, they can return it to Pious Pete, who will gratefully thank them for their assistance.
In addition to his quest involvement, Pious Pete has a humorous personality that offers a switch from the typical gravedigger archetype. He often engages in light-hearted banter, sometimes reflecting the comedic aspects of quests in the game.
Pious Pete also provides players with a small amount of Phat donations in recognition of their help, which can be beneficial in the early stages of their journey.
Pious Pete’s dedication to Saradomin is evident in his dialogue, where he frequently refers to his faith and how it guides him in his work. Players might find his character endearing, as he represents the theme of faith and devotion within the vast world of Gielinor.
Overall, Pious Pete serves as a memorable NPC, contributing not only to the quest but also adding layers to the surrounding lore and character interactions in OSRS.
