Walkthrough

Getting started

  • Talk to Abigale in the south-east corner of Lumbridge Swamp and offer your help. (Chat 1•1)
  • Take the boat found further south.
  • If needed, take a bucket from the fountain to the west.
  • Head to the west of the manor.
  • Use the bucket on the barrel of rainwater to empty it.
  • Take the manor key from the bottom of the empty barrel.
  • Enter the manor doors using the manor key.

Riddle 1

  • If needed, take the knife from the table.
  • Attempt to open the door with the pink knob to the north.
  • Take the note on the ground next to you and read it.
  • Go to the room south-west from the entry hall, and use the knife on the painting with the gloomy valley on the east wall.
  • Search the slashed painting to obtain a ruby key.
  • Go to the room south-east from the entry hall. If needed, take a tinderbox from the shelves.
  • Use the tinderbox on the four unlit candles throughout the eastern room.
  • Use the tinderbox on the barrel with the fuse.
  • Exit the room to trigger the explosion.

Riddle 2

  • Re-enter the south-east room and climb over the damaged wall.
  • Head north, then west, and click "observe" on the tree across from Lacey.
  • Pick any chat option the Killer gives you; the answer does not matter.
  • Take the note and read it.
  • Play the notes D-E-A-D on the piano in the north-eastern corner of the manor.
  • Search the piano to get an emerald key.

Riddle 3

  • Return to the mansion via the damaged wall.
  • Open the door with the green knob north of the entrance, west of the door with the pink knob.
  • Attempt to open the door to the west with the Bandos godsword inside.
  • Take the note and read it.
  • Head through the south-eastern room with the damaged wall, then to the room north of it. Use the knife on the unlit fireplace.
  • Search the fireplace and enter the following gems in this order:
    Sapphire – Diamond – Zenyte – Emerald – Onyx – Ruby.
  • Search the fireplace again to get the sapphire key.

Showdown

  • Open the westernmost door with the blue knob in the room where you slashed the painting.
  • The killer will hide in wardrobes and throw knives. The player can know which wardrobe the killer is hiding in by looking for a brief black shadow surrounding the wardrobe. You must push the mirror and have it face the wardrobe before a knife is thrown. Repeat this until a cutscene.
  • After the cutscene, take the killer's knife, wield it and attack Abigale.
  • Attempt to exit the room.
  • Talk to Mandy outside the manor.
  • Congratulations, quest complete!
