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.

Walkthrough

To Start: Speak to Bert

A Hand-Wringing Problem...

1) Talk to Bert, his house is by the Sandpit in the North-West part of the city. Give him a hand, and you'll get one, a sandy one that is... Once Bert gives you the hand, head South to the Dragonhead Pub, and buy a beer (if you don't already have one). Talk to the Guard Captain, giving him the beer right away. He'll take a look at the hand (dropping it in his beer in the process) and say it is a wizard's hand, so head over to the Mage Guild, to the East of the pub.

A Handful of Sand (or Pocketful)...

2) Ring the bell, and talk to Zavistic Rarve when he apears. Give him the Sandy (Beer Socked) Hand, then head back over to talk to Bert. Get his Rota, and head over to Brimhaven (fastest way is to use a Glory Amulet to teleport to Karamja).


The Sandy Corp Office is just North of the pub, go there and talk to Sandy. He'll tell you he doesn't have time to talk, and ignore you. Search Sandy's desk to get Bert's old Rota, and then pick Sandy's pockets until you get some sand (you need the sand).

Head back to Bert (Watchtower Teleport) and talk to him again, he'll give you a Magic Scroll. Talk to Zavistic again, and he'll take the Magic Scroll, and give you a Magic Orb, and tell you to talk to Betty, who owns the Rune shop in Port Sarim. Use an empty vial on Zavistic, and he'll teleport you to Betty's shop.

A Little Cup of Truth...

3) Talk to Betty, and give her the vial, she'll give you a bottle filled with some liquid. Use the Redberries on the bottle, then use the Whiteberries with the bottle, you'll get some Pink Dye. Use the Dye on the Bullsye lens, to get a Rose Tinted Lens. Then talk to Betty, who will put the vial on the counter, and tell you to direct sunlight through the lens, and onto the vial. Stand in the doorway, and use the lens on the vial. Betty will then give you a vial of Truth Serum.


Talk to Betty again, and she'll need something personal to put in the Serum, or it won't work. Give her the sand you got from Sandy's pocket. Now go back to Sandy, and talk to him, tell him one of the options, until you get him to look out his window, then use the Truth Serum on the coffee that is by Sandy. Activate the Magical Orb to record the conversation, and talk to Sandy. Ask him everything you can, and he will eventually say that he killed the Wizard because he didn't want to pay him. Now go back to Zavistic.

A Head in the Sand...

4) Ring the bell at the entrance to the Mage Guild, and talk to Zavistic Rarve when he appears. He'll need five Earth Runes, and a bucket of Sand, give it to him, and you'll see a short cutscene.



He'll then tell you to go to Entrana, and talk to Mazion, who has found the wizard's head. Go collect it from Mazion, and return to talk to Zavistic.
