1. Items for this part: None
Talk to Rat Burgiss and you’ll need to bring his stolen pages back. He’ll give you a folder to put the pages in. To bring back the pages, go north-west of Varrock.
Now just kill 5 Outlaws. Each time they die, they drop a page. To put the page in the folder, just use the two items with each other.
When you’ve got 5 pages and put them all in the folder, return to Rat.
2. Items for this part: Chaos Talisman or Chaos Tiara, 15 Chaos runes and a bowl. If you take the new shortcut to the Chaos Altar, you need to bring a Bronze Pickaxe with you.
He’ll give you a message that you need to give to the mage Surok Magis.
Go to the Library in Varrock’s Castle(the most northern room) and talk to Surok.
He’ll tell you about a spell that turns items into gold bars. He wants to share the gold with you, but he still needs a wand infested with the power of Chaos and a bowl.
Sakur will give you a wand. To infest it with the power of Chaos, you need to take the wand and 15 chaos runes to the Chaos Altar.
He’ll also give you a book about a other way to the Chaos Altar, which DOESN’T go through the Wilderness.
You have now 2 options to go to the Chaos Altar.
1. Go via the Wilderness and get risked of being PK-ed.
2. Go via the new shortcut, which doesn’t go through the wilderness, but you’ll need a Bronze Pickaxe.
To go via the new shortcut, go to the Saradomin statue east of Varrock.
Left-Click on the statue and you’ll mine a hole in it. Enter the hole and you’ll be in a secret passage to the Chaos Altar.
Walk till the end of the passage and go through the portal.
You'll be teleported in the maze. Simply go one floor down(the easiest way to go to the ladder that goes down is just by clicking it on the mini-map) and you’ll see the Chaos Altar. Use the wand with the altar and it’ll be infested with Chaos. To get out, you can either go through the portal behind the Chaos Altar, this will teleport you to level 9 wilderness, or you can go up the ladder you came from and go through the portal on that floor. This will teleport you to the secret passage to the Chaos Altar.
If you don’t have a bowl yet, buy one in Varrock’s general store for 5gp or craft one.
Now go back to Surok and give him the items.
3. Items for this part: None
He gives you a message that you need to give to Rat.
Just go back to Rat and talk to him. He’ll tell you that he is a Guard of Varrock and that Surok tries to take over the city, by using a mind control on King Roald. He tells you that you need to speak to Zaff, the owner of the Varrock Staff store.
Zaff says that he can counter the mind control.
He tells you that you need to weaken King Roald is much as possible, and then summon Zaff. Then Zaff will undo the mind control on the king.
Zaff gives you a Beacon Ring with an instruction booklet.
4. Items for this part: If you’ve trouble with beating a level 47 monster, it’s recommended to bring some food with you.
Now go back to the Library in Varrock’s castle and talk to Surok. Suddenly King Roald will come in and Surok controls his mind. You now must fight King Roald(he is level 47). When you almost killed him, a message appears that you should summon Zaff now. To do that, click the ‘’Operate’’ option and Zaff will appear.
He’ll undo the mind control and will defeat Surok.
5. Items for this part: None
Now go back to Rat. He tells that Surok will now be closely watched so he can’t do anymore damage.
