OSRS Quest Icthlarin's Little Helper Walkthrough Quick Guide

Icthlarin's Little Helper is an important OSRS quest in the desert quest series. You need to complete it for Contact! and Beneath Cursed Sands quests to participate in the upcoming osrs raid - Tombs of Amascut. And also, if you want to use the Pyramid Plunder minigame to train your Thieving, you have to start the quest to gain access to the city of Sophanem.

Completion of the Gertrude's Cat quest

The ability to defeat a level 91 and a level 75–81 guardian

35 Agility or higher to jump over the pit in the pyramid

Items

A kitten or cat (any type)

Tinder box

Waterskis (4) x 2 (one is for the desert heat, and one is for the quest)

Bag of salt

Willow log

Bucket of sap

Linen

You can buy all the required items except the kitten or cat from the Grand Exchange.

The following items are not required, but we suggest you prepare:

Nardah teleport (for quick travel to the quest start point, bought from the Grand Exchange), or 500 OSRS gold coins if you use the Magic carpet

Energy potions, Super energy potions, or Stamina potions

1–2 Antipoison or Superantipoison potions

Armour and food

Getting to the Quest Start Point

Teleport to Nardah with the Nardah teleport, then walk southwest.

You can also use the Magic carpet at Shantay Pass (to Pollnivneach) and South Pollnivneach (to Nardah).

Walkthrough

1. Talk to the Wanderer with your cat followed. (Chat 2-1)

2. Talk to the Wanderer again, and she will take the tinderbox and waterskin(4). (Chat 4)

If you leave Sophanem during the quest, you can re-enter the city by using the rocks on the east side of the Wanderer's tent at the quest start point.

Warning: You cannot teleport out of the pyramid! Pay attention to your Hitpoints!

3. Touch the door to enter the pyramid. Follow the path east, west, then east to the pit. You can click on the minimap to automatically avoid the traps.

4. Jump the pit (a minimum of 20% energy required). 100% run energy and higher Agility increase the chances. If you fail, run to the pit and jump it again.

5. Go west and try to open the door.

6. Solve the puzzle. You can click the golden bird on the right to reset it. The easiest way is as follows (you can make it the same as in the following picture by resetting it again and again):

7. Drop your kitten/cat, and talk to the Sphinx nearby to receive a Sphinx's token (Warning: the answer is 9, if you answered wrongly, you would lose your cat). (Chat 1-1-2-1)

8. Head to the church southwest and talk to the High Priest.

9. Return to the pyramid where you woke up and entered before. Right-click the door and select "Open door" to ask your kitten/cat to open it.

10. Follow the path to the pit again and jump it.

11. Open the west door (where you solved the puzzle).

12. Take the canopic jar (you can only take the correct jar, if not, a message will appear in your chat box "I don't need this jar."). A level 75 or 81 guard will appear. Kill it and take the jar.

13. Leave the room and jump the pit.

14. Jump the pit again and try to open the west door. Solve the puzzle again. Drop the jar where you took it.

15. Leave the room and jump the pit. Then follow the path to the entrance. Climb the ladder to leave the pyramid.

16. Return to the High Priest in the church and talk to him. (Chat 1)

17. Go and talk to Embalmer in the south room of the church. Talk to him again if you have all the items: Bucket of sap, bag of salt, and linen.

18. Go east and talk to the Carpenter. (Chat 2)

19. Talk to him again to get the holy symbol (you may need to wait a while).

20. Return to the pyramid and jump the pit.

21. Open the east door and use the holy/unholy symbol on any sarcophagus. Then exit the room.

22. Jump the pit and enter the east room again.

23. After a cutscene, kill the level 91 Possessed Priest (you can use Protect from Magic to avoid any damages).
