Before you start
- Restless Ghosts: finish the opening tutorial (the wiki lists First Steps). There is no other quest requirement.
- For Finn’s cave: 20 Woodcutting and a logging axe for the thorny vines (or 10 air and 5 astral runes for Axtral Projection), plus Windstep at 5 air runes a cast, or building pieces to bridge the gap.
- Windstep has been an Agility spell since 0.12.1. Two 1.0 guides put it at Agility 5; Early Access guides that say Runecrafting 8 predate the change.
- Keep at least four inventory slots free for the reward. Bring food, water and repaired gear for goblins and rats; the wiki suggests grilled mushrooms against poison in Whispering Swamp.
- Even More Restless Ghosts: start Restless Ghosts first (have the Ghostspeak Amulet; you don’t need to finish it) and reach Fellhollow, which needs Dragon Slayer done and Withering Heights started.
- Activate all four Emberwood god shrines from Withering Heights before the windswept ghost; they drop the village barrier.
- Pack a fired Clay Decoration, an iron pickaxe or better (or Rocksplosion runes), building materials for a small house, a ranged or magic weapon for zombies, food and antipoison.
1. Restless Ghosts: take the Ghostspeak Amulet
Sources disagree on the well’s direction from the Wise Old Man. The wiki walkthrough, VGC, games.gg and KosGames say north-west; the wiki’s quest infobox and Gaming Toolkits’ quick-facts line say south-west. Look for the ruined village with the well at its centre.
If you found the amulet before the quest started, see the stuck section below.
- Go to the ruined village in Bramblemead Valley (the old town of Brynmoor), north-west of the Wise Old Man. Interact with the Crumbling Well in the middle of the ruins to receive the Ghostspeak Amulet.
- Look for the amulet in your quest-item tab, not your main inventory. The wiki’s amulet page says you must be wearing it while you talk to the ghosts.
- Wait for nightfall. The four ghosts only appear between sunset and sunrise. Scouting the routes and clearing enemies in daylight leaves the short night for talking.

2. All four Restless Ghosts locations (night only)
No source says the order matters, and guides visit the ghosts in different orders. Each conversation hints at the next: games.gg says Warren points you toward the windmill and Lazina points you to Finn.
Finn is the only ghost that needs preparation. The cave lip is across a gap: cast Windstep or build across it, then chop the vines. The wiki’s alternative to an axe is Axtral Projection. Windstep moved from Runecrafting to Agility in 0.12.1, so ignore Early Access guides that tie it to Runecrafting 8.
For Kay, games.gg suggests entering the swamp through the passage below the goblin hideout on Bramblemead’s north-east side, then hugging the swamp’s outer edge. It also warns that the swamp fog can make night look like day, so check the time if Kay seems missing.
Small disagreements: Warren’s own NPC page puts his ruin south-east of the Wise Old Man, while the quest walkthrough puts it in the village’s south-west corner and Game8 and games.gg put it south-west of the well (Game8: the house by the river). TheGamer’s April 2025 guide places Finn’s cave north-east of the Wise Old Man; every other source, including the 1.0 guides, says south-east. Early Access guides from GameRant, TheGamer and Game8 otherwise agree with the 1.0 sources on where the four ghosts are.
| Ghost · area | Landmark and how to reach it |
|---|---|
| Warren · Bramblemead ruined village | A dilapidated house in the village’s south-west corner, a short walk from the Crumbling Well. He is usually the first ghost you meet. |
| Lazina · Temple Woods | A broken house south-east of the windmill, on the walking path. She is in the ruin beside the windmill, not inside the mill. |
| Finn · cave south-east of the Wise Old Man | A cliff-face cave on Bramblemead’s southern edge, sealed by thorny vines. A torch marks the entrance at night; Windstep up to the lip, then cut the vines. |
| Kay · Whispering Swamp | A ruined house on the swamp’s edge where it meets Bramblemead Valley. Follow the swamp’s border wall and clear the putrid rats first. |

3. Remember all four at the Remembrance Shrine
Sources disagree on which corner of the church the shrine is by. The most recently updated wiki copy we checked (October 13, 2026) says north-west; the older wiki copy, Gaming Toolkits and KosGames say south-west; games.gg says the graveyard on the church’s western side. Start on the west side of the church.
If a name is missing from the list, that ghost’s conversation never registered. Go back to that ghost at night and talk to it again. Game8’s Early Access guide says the shrine step itself works in daylight; we haven’t confirmed that for 1.0.
- Free at least four inventory slots before you touch the shrine. Do this first: players who started remembering with a full inventory reported getting locked out.
- Travel to the church in Temple Woods where you first spawned. The Remembrance Shrine is a large stone flower vase on top of a stone sculpture, in the graveyard beside the church.
- Interact with the shrine and pick each ghost’s name in turn until all four are remembered. Choosing one name is not enough.

Restless Ghosts rewards
Remembering all four gives you the Restless Ghosts reward pack, which MetaBot describes as a cloth shoulder bag. Opening it gives Tome of Cooking, Tome of Woodcutting, Tome of the Artisan and Tome of Mining, all Vol 1. That is four items, which matches the four free slots players are asked for. No source we checked gives the XP each tome grants.
The wiki also lists the ability to speak to ghosts, which you get partway through the quest. Starting Restless Ghosts is a requirement for Even More Restless Ghosts.

4. Even More Restless Ghosts: where to find Zanik
Zanik turns up in several regions: Brynmoor in Bramblemead for Rune Mysteries and Goblin Diplomacy, Dowdun Reach for Biohazard and Umbral Sands for Contact! This quest needs the Fellhollow Zanik.
MetaBot lists the objectives as “Find ghosts and complete their unfinished business” (counting 0/3 to 3/3), then “Return to Zanik”, then “Tell someone about these spirits”. The wiki ends the quest at Zanik. MetaBot also calls this quest 2 of 9 in Fellhollow, but its list runs alphabetically, so don’t read it as story order.
- Enter Fellhollow and stay in Bleakfields Valley, the region’s southern starting area. Follow the road east from the “Bleakfields Valley” map label to the three standing stones where Cathan waits.
- Zanik is in the ruins just east of Cathan, north of a spectral door; a chest sits in the same ruins. Talk to her to start the quest: three spirits still have unfinished business.

5. The three Fellhollow ghosts and the sketchbook
The objective simply counts ghosts settled (0/3 to 3/3), so the order shouldn’t matter. The sources we checked don’t say whether these three are night-only like the first quest’s ghosts. If one is missing, come back after dark.
The windswept ghost is inside the village that the Emberwood barrier sealed, so the four god shrines from Withering Heights must be active first. The same wiki page suggests two amounts of building material: about 36 ash logs in its item list, and 24 ash logs with one floor piece as the roof in the walkthrough. Any square foundation works; check that the walls fully enclose the ghost and the door is shut.
Make the Clay Decoration from three clay at a pottery wheel, then fire the unfired decoration in a kiln. The reminiscing ghost wants a clay doll to remember a granddaughter by.
The paint-spattered ghost says their husband took the sketchbook to the coal mine to the east. The cave north-east of the ghost has the skeleton under the granite on the left. Zombies roam these areas; the wiki recommends a ranged or magic weapon and antipoison.
| Ghost or remains · area | Landmark | What to do or hand in |
|---|---|---|
| Windswept ghost · Emberwood | Ruins of a small home near the north-east edge of the village that the god-shrine barrier used to seal. | Build a house around the ghost: a square foundation under it, four walls and an enclosed roof. Close the door, then talk to the ghost again. |
| Reminiscing ghost · Hope’s Fall | The ruined gates north of the spire in Hope’s Fall (the wiki calls it the dragon spire). The ghost’s own page describes a ruin just north of Hope’s Fall. | Give the ghost a Clay Decoration. |
| Paint-spattered ghost · Lake of Lost Souls / Coalridge Pass | A ruined dragonkin structure just north-east of the tainted river’s easternmost stretch, between the lake and the pass. | Talk to the ghost. They describe where their husband took the sketchbook. |
| Sketchbook and skeleton · cave to the north-east | Ruins at a cave mouth north-east of the paint-spattered ghost. Inside, on the left, granite deposits sit on top of a coal node. | Mine the granite with an iron pickaxe or better (or Rocksplosion) to uncover the skeleton. Interact with the sketchbook, then speak to the ghost again. |

6. Return to Zanik for the Dorgeshuun crossbow
The reward is the recipe for the Dorgeshuun crossbow. The wiki describes it as a power level 5 crossbow made at a fletching bench. It fires only bone bolts, which build bleed, and has a hidden 25% shorter reload. It can be ascended with ascension cores at a mystic forge.
- With all three ghosts settled, return to Zanik in Bleakfields Valley and finish her dialogue. If a further objective appears, follow its marker.

Stuck? Four free slots, missing ghosts and co-op desync
On the four-slot bug, Jagex’s April 24, 2025 patch says quests that award non-quest items can now complete with a full inventory. Its May 2, 2025 patch adds a better fix for completing quests with a full inventory. Neither note names Restless Ghosts. Guides written for 1.0, a September 20, 2026 video and games.gg on September 22, 2026, still warn that a full inventory breaks the final step. We haven’t confirmed whether that still happens on 1.0.1. Freeing four slots costs nothing. 1.0.1 also raised inventory space from 32 to 40 slots.
Jagex’s 1.0.1 notes fix quest items picked up early in multiplayer blocking progress into the next region; its example is Imaru’s Head. The note doesn’t mention the Ghostspeak Amulet, so we can’t say whether the co-op report above is fixed.
Last resort, PC only: an April 2025 Steam PSA describes a save edit. Open the character’s .json file in %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDragonwilds\Saved\SaveCharacters, change the four “HasChoseGhost” entries from True to False, then use the shrine again. It was written for Early Access, before Jagex’s fixes. The PSA also says to delete the backup file; keep a copy of the whole folder instead, and edit only with the game closed. We haven’t tested it on 1.0, and these checks can’t fix every quest bug. If you’re still stuck, record the objective text, platform and build when you report it.
- Shrine shows no names or asks for four slots: in April 2025, players who remembered the ghosts with a full inventory saw a message asking for four free slots. After freeing space, the shrine showed no names and the quest stayed open, even after re-talking to all four ghosts. Avoid it by freeing four slots before your first name.
- Ghost not there: it is daytime, or swamp fog is making night look like day. The first quest’s ghosts only appear from sunset to sunrise.
- Quest still points at the well: an April 2025 player who picked up the amulet before the quest started was sent back to the empty well. Another player’s advice was to keep talking to the ghosts and finish at the shrine.
- Co-op: on September 26, 2026 a guest reported that the ghosts sent them back to the well while the host’s dialogue moved on; the guest already had the amulet, so the well wouldn’t respond. Compare each player’s objective after every ghost.
- Windswept ghost won’t complete: check the foundation is under the ghost, the roof is enclosed and the door is closed. If you can’t reach it, the Emberwood barrier is still up: activate all four god shrines.
