This guide is a part of our OSRS Optimal Quest Guide.

Misthalin Mystery story & info

Misthalin Mystery is the 130th quest and was the second quest that was made for OSRS specifically. The quest was originally meant to be a Halloween event, but eventually became a permanent quest after passing a poll from the community!

This murder mystery quest is based on the Scream movie series and the house in which it takes place looks a suspicious amount like the Draynor Manor.

Misthalin Mystery is a F2P quest and this guide is 100% F2P and ironman friendly.

OSRSGuide Recommendation:

Use the Quest Helper Plugin for Runelite.

The Quest Helper Plugin makes Questing TONS easier.

  • Helps keep track of the item requirements and whether you have them on you or not
  • Displays a quest guide in the sidebar
  • Highlights NPCs you need to talk to
  • Knows which dialogue you need to use during the quest
  • Shows the next location in the quest on your map

If you want to install it, you can install the Quest Helper directly from your Plugin Hub on Runelite.
