Before you start
- Reach The Nexus during Black Knight's Fortress.
- Bring Windstep for the Cathedral ledge and combat supplies for two shardbound lesser demons.
1. Doric and The Cathedral
- Speak to Doric beside the Dreaming Stone in The Nexus.
- At The Cathedral, turn right inside and follow the outside walkway. Use Windstep at the broken parapet to reach the northwest upper ledge.
- Read the mage's notes by the nodestone, activate the node, then return to Doric for the next lead.
2. The Garrison schematic
- Search the first floor of the four-turret building on The Garrison's north face. Read the schematic on a crate near the nodestone.
- Activate the nodestone and return to Doric. He points you toward a demonic gate.
3. Search the mage at The Demon Gate
- Descend beneath the keep to The Demon Gate and push to the far end. Defeat the two shardbound lesser demons guarding the arena.
- Search the dead Zamorak mage beyond them and take the crumpled schematic. Return it to Doric in The Nexus to complete the quest and learn the Zamorak staff recipe.
4. Optional nine-nodestone bonus
The quest and the all-nodestones bonus have different completion points. After the staff recipe, activate every Dowdun Reach nodestone in the world and speak to Doric again. The community wiki records a portal reward pack with volume-two Artisan, Construction, Magic and Mining tomes. If a pack is missing, confirm the world nodes and Doric's available dialogue before treating the optional objective as complete.
