Think of others while using a cannon. Try to use the least crowded area or world you can find so you aren't disrupting the play of others. This also helps you avoid confrontations from less mature players.

Sorceress's Garden

By: Pete


Contents



1.0 [ How to Start ]


Osman a Master spy for the city of Al Kharid, loves the taste of squ'irk juice. He'll be willing to impart some of his knowledge of thieving onto you if you can help him to get a hold of this drink.

To start head east just before you reach the shanty pass, speak to the apprentice in this house. Note: to start the game every other visit, just right click on the apprentice and select teleport.

Within the garden you'll have a choose of either picking 2 herbs per run, or 1 sq'irk. This is explained further on.

======================


2.0 [ What you'll need ]

If you're picking sq'irks you'll need some beer glasses, we recommend 20+, 25 if using the summer garden. These can be found by searching the shelves in the witches house. You'll also need a pestle and mortar to grind the juice out of the sq'irks.

If you're picking herbs, you won't need anything.

We recommend that you have a healthy supply of energy potions in your bank.

The red dots are the safe spots that are referred to in the step by step guides.

Winter Garden - Easy

1) Firstly once you enter the garden, don't move until the Elemental in front of you cannot see you.

2) Move to the lift until you see a alcove on your right.

3) Now, watch both Elementals, the one moving left to right in front of you and the one too your left, near our second safe spot, when both are out of sit make your move.

4) Watch the elemental circling you, and the one further down the path, when the one further down the path is behind the bushes, and the Elemental circling you is behond you, run to our next safe spot.

5) There is now a Elemental going up and down the next path, when the Elemental passes you make your move to the Sq'irk tree or herb path.

Spring Garden - Medium Easy

1) Simply head to the first marked red dot on our map, and wait here until the Elemental walking left to right turns its back on you, then walk close behind the Elemental until the reach the first alcove.

2) Wait here until the Elemental is heading towards where you just walked from, and carry on the path and stop at our next safe spot.

3) This bit can be very ticky as you'll be required to watch 3 Elementals. So when the Elementals running around in circles go behind the bushes and the third Elemental starts his path to the north, run to our next safe spot.

4) When the Elemental beside you heads goes north, head to our next safe spot.

5) Now there is one Elemental next to you, when they turn their back on you, head to the other side of this bush.

6) Now when the same Elemental passes you you can take either gap in the bushes, one will give you 2 herbs, the other a Sq'irk.

Autumn Garden - Hard

1) Head to our first safe spot, and you'll see a Elemental heading west to east, when the Elemental is on its west route, run to the next safe spot.

2) When the Elemental passes you to the east head the long journey to our next safe spot.

3) Head to the next safe spot, when it seems safe.

4) there is now an Elemental doing a south to north route, when the Elemental starts walking south, run to the next safe spot.

5) When the Elemental heads north past you run to the next safe spot.

6) This part is very tricky! When the two Elementals meet in the corner, try running to the next safe spot, and carry on to the next safe spot. - (This route is very ticky to understand written down. So it'll be easier for yourself to use your inicitive).

7) If you made it to the next safe spot, Congratulations. Now it shouldn't be too hard to either pick some herbs or get a Sq'irk.

For the Sq'irk, when the Elemental heads past you, run to the next safe spot. There is now a Elemental doing a east to west route, when they pass you run to the Sq'irk tree.

For the Herbs, Run to the east when you aren't in view of a Elemental, and again when not in view of an Elemental run to the patch.

Summer Garden - Medium

1) Once you enter the Garden step a few steps to the west, making sure you do not enter the path of our first Elemental.

2) When the Elemental starts heading north head to our first safe spot, this is next to the sticking our bush.

3) When the very same Elemental now starts making their return journey to the start of the garden, head to the other side of the bush.

4) Now, there is a Elemental doing a North to South walk, when the Elemental starts walking south past you, thus having their back to you head to our next safe spot - You may aswell walk south until you hit a bush, there's no danger here aslong as you don't stray to the east.

5) When the Elemental moving North to South walks past you to the north, run to our next safe spot.

6) Now this Elemental is doing a figure of 8 around these bushes, when the Elemental is on its return to journey to your location and is behind a bush, run to the next safe spot. - For the first few times you may get caught, but you'll learn the correct timing quite easily.

7) Now the Elemental doing a 'L' shaped path next to you, has got its back on you, run to the next safe spot. If you are picking herbs, run to the herb path instead.

8) Now there is 2 Elementals to watch, when the one that does a 'L' shaped path starts walking towards you, and when the other Elemental doing a circliur path around the bush above you starts walking north-wards run to the Sq'irk tree.
