This is a short adventure for members only, so get that membership up-to-date, and let's take a look at what we can expect from this adventure! We'll start with the requirements needed to embark on this adventure, so let's begin.
Requirements in Soul Searching RS3
As with most RS3 quests, there are some necessities in order to get the adventure started. So, let's explore those essentials:
- Necromancy! Quest completion
- 3 Cadava Berries
- 19 Fishing Bait
- Antipoison (3)
- Charcoal
- Papyrus
You'll be glad to see that there are few requirements for this adventure and even more glad to know there are no enemies to face. So, you'll be in for a more laid-back adventure in terms of combat. With all that said, let's get into the walkthrough!
Soul Searching RS3 - A Suspicious Stranger
To start this quest, you'll need to speak to Trista or the Suspicious Stranger. Both can be found at the City of Um docks north of Lupe's Soul Supplies. Listen in on their conversation before interjecting. Once you've completed the dialogue, you'll see an "Eavesdrop" option on either of the characters, which you must select. This action will bring up the start quest interface so you can accept and begin your journey through Soul Searching RS3.
Once you have begun the quest, hide behind the nearby boxes and listen to their conversation. You'll hear them discussing travel to the Sanctum of Rebirth to be reincarnated; you must then report this strange encounter to Death within the city. So, make your way to his office to continue.
Knocking on Death's Door
After discussing the quest's events with Death, inform him of what you heard down by the docks. He will then tell you that the Sanctum of Rebirth is not a safe place for spirits and humans alike before asking you to return to the docks and ask the stranger about her knowledge of the place.
So, for your next task in the Soul Searching quest in RS3, return to the docks and ask the Suspicious Stranger what she knows about this place.
This time around, she will be much more talkative, providing you with the steps to get to the overworld. However, she will abruptly stop the conversation once she realizes you are not dead. At this point, you will have three options: convince, persuade and threaten. Go through all three options to see what information you can draw from the stranger. You must try to convince her you are a zombie, persuade her by promising you won't tell anyone about the Sanctum of Rebirth, and threaten her that Death will revoke her underworld abilities.
Sadly, all of these options will get you no further forward with the adventure. So you must head back to Death and ask what else he suggests. He will then advise that you speak with Malignus Mortifer, as he is an expert at "looking dead and vacant." So make your way to the Um Ritual Site and find him.
Finding Malignus in Soul Searching RS3
You'll find Malignus Mortifer by the ritual site's ritual chest. Speak with him regarding the events of the RS3 Soul Searching quest, briefly discussing the events that have taken place. Mention Death's comments about his ability to look dead and vacant, and ask if he can help you look like a zombie. He will provide you with a temporary solution if you provide him with Antipoison, charcoal fishing bait and papyrus. All but fishing bait can be found in Jiminua's Jungle Store, but it is instead found in several stores.
Round up the ingredients, then return to Maglinus, who will concoct a zombification potion. When you ask him about the papyrus and charcoal, he informs you that you need to sign a waiver to negate any liability in case you experience issues. You can accept or deny the waiver, but if you repeatedly deny him, he will forge your signature anyway.
With the zombification potion now in your possession, it's time to head back to the City of Um docks and speak with the Suspicious Stranger once more.
Zombification in Soul Searching RS3
Drink the potion behind the crates you hid at previously in the quest before approaching the stranger. When the potion takes hold, make your way to her, and she will ask you if you wish to be reincarnated; agree and then board the gondola to make your way to the Sanctum of Rebirth.
When you arrive, a cutscene will begin, showing Ictharin stating Death anticipated you would arrive. The effects of the potion will begin to fade, and the Suspicious Stranger will realize you tricked her. At this point, Ictharin teleports her away.
You must then relay the events of RS3 Soul Searching to him, and he will then ask if you have any questions. He will then go on to explain that the Sanctum is Amascut's domain and is occupied by creatures created by her, as well as those she has bent to her will. He also informs you that the stranger was actually someone cursed and controlled by her to ferry souls to the Sanctum of Rebirth. He tells you that the Suspicious Stranger is now held in his domain; at this point, you will ask, "What now?" and offer to stop the creatures residing there. Icthlarin will advise against it but also agrees not to stop you. This will mark the end of the quest.
