A lockpick is required to complete this section of the quest. Start by heading to the Hazeel Cult hideout, the entrance is via the Ardougne Sewers, south-east of the Clock Tower. Board the raft, then talk to Alomone or Clivet, depending on if you sided with Hazeel or not. Talk to Hazeel then return to the Carnillean Mansion to talk to the Guard.

Climb down the ladder in the house and talk to Claus the Chef. Search the cooking shelves in the south-west corner and press 1. Look for the inspect option on the wall near the noticeboard, inspect it and enter the passage. Next, pick the lock on the chest, you will need to move the pins along to specific positions. They will appear a blue colour if the number is accurate but the position is wrong, and appear green if the pin is in the correct position. Once successfully picked, inspect the dusty scroll and bring it to Hazeel.

The North

This section requires a Tinderbox, which can also be obtained during and combat equipment to defeat a level 262. A form of poison protection is also highly recommended.

Start by heading to the north side of Weiss and speak to Big Fish. Next, run to the main building to find Snowflake, select option 1 (or option 2 if you do not have the Weiss fire notes). Run back and speak to Big Fish, using options 1-1-1. Run down the stairs of the main building and through the cave entrance in the south of the area.

A cutscene will occur, after it you will need to fight the assassin. He will attack melee or ranged, using the opposite style to what the player is protecting against. The assassin will throw smoke bombs around the room, lure him into the smoke to damage him. He will also use a poison attack, which is why poison protection was recommended.

Once the assassin is dead, talk to Hazeel at the cave entrance and select option 4. Search the barrel to the south of the room, where you will find a lever handle. Go to the center room by using the code BLOOD to open the gate. Open the north chest using the code 7402, obtaining an icy chest. There will be four braziers, light them in the following order: North-West, South-East, North-East, South-West. Then, open the western chest to find a jewel shard. Go to the northern room and press the LEFT – UP – LEFT – DOWN arrows in that exact order to unlock the gate.

Pull the lever mechanism down and go to the south-western pillar to inspect it. You will now have two jewel shards, use them on each other, then use the ancient jewel on the icy chest. Open the gate south of the middle room with the icy key you have obtained.
