Merlin’s Crystal Quest story & info

Storyline

The Witch Morgan le Faye trapped Merlin inside a crystal in the southeastern tower of the Camelot castle. King Arthur seeks your help and in return, will make you a knight of the round table. During this quest, you will infiltrate Morgan le Faye’s keep, acquire Excalibur, learn the chant, and do a rather dodgy ritual to free Merlin.

Extra Info

This quest guide is Ironman-friendly and contains a map for Ironmen to get the Beeswax and Bat Bones.

This quest gives a whopping 6 quest points. It’s pretty short so definitely worth doing.

You also need this quest for Holy Grail, which gives you a ton of Prayer and Defence Experience.
