Walkthrough:


1. Talk to Ali the Wise in Nardah. He will tell you to speak to Dr. Nabanik at the Digsite Exam Centre, east of Varrock. Ali will give you an amulet to teleport directly to him should you wish to do so.
2. Use the amulet or teleport to Varrock and head to the Digsite Exam Centre and speak with Dr. Nabanik. After speaking with him, he will reveal to you that he is actually a Zarosian Mahjarrat called Azzanadra (from the Desert Treasure Quest). He asks you to get him a certificate in order to restore the altar beneath the Digsite.
3. Go inside the Exam Centre and speak with the Archaeologist Expert. You can choose to fabricate all types of information about Dr. Nabanik and eventually the Expert will be convinced to the point at which he will hand you a Restoration Certificate.
4. Talk to Dr. Nabanik once more and he will tell you to meet him down in the temple below the Digsite. He will provide you with a rope.
5. The winch is found near the centre of the Digsite. Use a rope on the winch and operate it. Head down to the temple and speak to Azzanadra. He will ask you two favours whilst the restoration of the altar is taking place. He will ask you to retrieve two items; a Barrows Icon and a Frostenhorn. To retrieve these items, you will need to head to Morytania and the Wilderness respectively. The order in which you retrieve the items is not important.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frostenhorn - Wilderness
Items needed: Runes for Telegrab, a Hammer (it is possible to loot this after searching the crates), the fire orb.
Items recommended: Some food, anti-fire shield, a prayer potion, weapon and armour for a lvl 177 demon.
WARNING: You are heading out into the Deep Wilderness, be prepared!

1. When you query about this part, Azzanadra will give you a backpack. Opening it gives you a letter and a fire orb. Read the letter and then use the letter on him. He will tell you that it was a letter from his last contact assigned to your very mission to the wilderness.
2. Once prepared, head out into the Deep Wilderness. A recommended route is via the lever, South-west of the Pub in East Ardougne.
3. Head to the Frozen Waste Plateau located west of the Wilderness Agility Course. Place the fire orb you received onto the pedestal and squeeze past the ice on your way into the Castle. Beware of the dragons on the other side! Equip an anti-fire shield if possible.
4. Once you enter the Castle grounds, climb up the stairs and run east, then climb down the stairs. You should be in a bunker with a locked door. To the left of the door, scale the wall. Head north to the smashed pedestal and then west. Climb down the wall and enter the trapdoor. This is the first level of the dungeon. You will now have to solve a puzzle involving orbs and telegrabbing.
5. Head inside the dungeon and place an orb on the pedestal in the same room as you climb down the trapdoor. This should melt the ice block which is blocking passage into the room with the ladder going down in the west Stand near the passage and telegrab the orb from the pedestal. Now place the orb into the pedestal in the room with the ladder. The ice block should melt and you will need to head down the ladder. Go in the small room to the south and grab the orb on the floor. Place it on the pedestal in the room you entered into. Head east and grab the orb on the pedestal. That orb should infact be the one with rock chunks in it (imperfect globe/orb). Take it back to the surface and climb back up the walls. The imperfect globe/orb is found on the second level of the dungeon after you go down the ladder inside. Take it out to the surface.
6. Place it into the Smashed Pedestal on the ground and it will glow. A short cutscene will follow showing the broken pedestal rolling down into the hole. Now run back to the second level of the dungeon. Grab another orb in the small room to the south of the ladder. Run east and then south and there you should see a pipe leading into a room. Use the orb on it and it should get stuck. Use a hammer on the pipe and it will roll and bounce onto the pedestal, melting the ice block allowing you to access the room by running west, south past the pedestal then east. In that room, climb up the ladder.
7. Once up the ladder, go west and you will encounter a lvl 177 Ice Demon. Kill it (use Protect from Magic), and it will drop Frostenhorn. The Ice Demon attacks with magic and can use a freezing spell which can penetrate your protection prayer, so be careful! Don't forget to pick up the Frostenhorn!
8. Head back to the temple/altar and talk to Azzanadra.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barrows Icon - Morytania
Items needed: Food, armour, weapons,
Items recommended: Prayer potions, decent-good food, armour, weapons, runes
WARNING: You are about to fight the Barrows Brothers! En garde!

1. Azzanadra will give you any advice you need concerning this part. If you do not need any advice, get ready!
2. Defeat the first 5 Barrow Brothers in the normal manner. What to bring is up to you, and it's much better for you to consult an online guide as I am terribly ill-informed about how to defeat them. Don't forget to bring a spade, a few prayer potions, good food, armour, weapons, runes etc.
3. After you defeat the first 5 brothers, head into the secret tunnel via the last brother's sarcophagus. Make your way to the middle room and open the chest. The last brother will either attack you here or appear while you try to open another door. Either way, defeat him and along with any loot, don't forget to take the Barrows Icon out of the chest!
4. Head back to the temple/altar at the Digsite.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Speak to Azzanadra and he will ask you to retrieve an item from another contact waiting by the winch. Simply head up to the surface and talk to the Assassin nearby. He will toss you a relic, bring it down to Azzanadra. After getting mad about how the Saradominists 'defaced' the relic, a cutscene will follow suggesting that Zaros is planning to return to Gielinor, and also in that cutscene, a Zamorak statue is ruined causing the Zamorakian mages to plot vengeance against the Saradominists - whom they believe were responsible. Talk to Azzanadra once more.
