RS3 is notoriously known for providing its players with immersive quests, making them feel like their part of the game. In addition, a lot of the content is voice acted, which adds another layer of depth to the experience.

Also, this is a huge benefit for those who dislike reading long dialogues since they can listen and learn more about the RuneScape lore. Questing plays a huge role in the RS3 community because it lets adventurers progress their characters further. Completing quests can unlock new NPCs, Locations, Items, Creatures, and Bosses.

Currently, RuneScape 3 has a total of 220 quests for players to enjoy. 35 free-to-play quests and 185 members quests. They vary in difficulty and length depending on the rewards given after completion. Most quests will have a certain level and quest requirements before you can begin. Also, during the quest, you’ll need to have specific items to progress to the next step. Therefore, setting quest goals for new accounts will make it easier to know what skills to grind for.

One of the most important quests to complete is The Temple at Senntisten because it will unlock a variety of useful abilities. This guide will teach you everything you need to know to complete the quest quickly and efficiently. We’ll go over the level requirements, items needed in your inventory, and quest requirements.

What Is The Temple At Senntisten?

The Temple at Senntisten is the sequel quest to Desert Treasure, where you assist the Mahjarrat Azzanadra in re-establishing contact with the lost god called Zaros. Ali the Wise has been talking about your findings with the mysterious Mahjarrat with one of his old friends – Dr. Nabanik.

Upon listening to Ali the Wise’s stories, the doctor believes you are the perfect candidate to aid him in his restoration of the temple beneath the Digsite. However, you don’t really know who this mysterious Dr. Nabanik really is and his true intentions.

The quest is lengthy and requires a lot of patience when completing as specific steps can seem tricky to complete. However, taking your time and learning the lore will greatly improve the experience of this quest. Most players will only do The temple at Senntisten to unlock new Prayers, but they’d be surprised how much fun this quest truly is!

The Temple at Senntisten RS3 Quest Guide

The Mysterious Archaeologist

1. Begin the quest by speaking to Ali the Wise in the small Northwestern building in Nardah. The fastest way to get there is by using the Fairy Transport System with code D-L-Q.
2. Ali will start talking about Zaros and his conquest of the world combined with the help of the Mahjarrat. He’ll remember talking to Dr. Nabanik about the matter, who wants to talk to you for help.
3. After, he will inform you Dr. Nabanik can be found South of the Varrock Dig Site, inside the courtyard of the Exam Center.
4. Players can ask for help to get to Dr. Nabanik, and Ali the Wise will give a Dig Site Pendant. This will teleport adventurers directly to the Dig Site

Ready To Help!

1. Speak to Dr. Nabanik outside of the Exam Center. The doctor will reveal that he is Azzanadra, the Zarosian Mahjarrat, who was freed during the Desert Treasure quest.
2. He will inform you that he needs authorization and consent from the leading archaeologist to reconstruct the Zarosian altar.
3. Speak to Terry Balando inside the Exam Centre. You will be quizzed on Dr. Nabanik’s credentials. Any answer you select will be correct. After convincing the archaeologist that the doctor can be trusted, he will provide you with a restoration certificate.
4. Talk to Dr. Nabanik and give him the certificate. He will then tell you to meet him at the altar and give you a piece of rope to descend down.
5. Use the Varrock Dig Site Pendant to get to the location faster or walk. Use the rope on the Northeastern winch and operate it to access the Digsite Dungeon. Then walk over to the ruined altar and speak to Azzanadra.

The List

1. Azzanadra will request for you to obtain 2 rare items to help rebuild the altar.
   • The Barrows Icon – Obtained by killing all 6 Barrows Brothers.
   • The Frostenhorn – Acquired inside a cold fortress within the Wilderness.
2. After talking to Azzanadra, you’ll be given a ruined backpack that has a battered letter and a heat globe.
3. Read the letter to continue the quest. It will advise you to bring runes to “Draw them to me just a short distance”. This refers to the heat globes in the fortress.
4. Talk to Azzanadra about each task to continue in the quest. The order you obtain the items is up to you and will not impact the quest’s progress.

Barrows Icon:

1. The Barrows Brothers are located East of Mort’ton.
2. Kill 5 of the brothers using your preferred combat setup. They are relatively easy for higher-levelled players as they don’t do high DPS. A minimum of level +60 combat stats is recommended to kill the Barrows Brothers.
3. The 6^th brother will be missing, so enter the underground crypt via the tomb. Head to the centre of the dungeon to find the last dungeon.
4. Kill the final brother to receive the Barrows icon and the reward for completing the minigame.

Frostenhorn:

1. The best route to reach the Ghorrock Fortress is by using the canoe near Erjolf. He can be found Northeast of Relleka. Note that you will encounter aggressive creatures, so bringing food is highly recommended.
2. The entrance to the fortress is obstructed by a large block of snow and ice. Use the heat globe and place it on the pedestal on the Northern side of the entrance. The pedestal will have an orange aura of light, which slightly melts the snow. Squeeze past the snowball and enter the area.

Entering The Froze Fortress

1. Run through the arched entrance and climb up the stairs to the West.
2. Then run to the Southeastern corner of the castle and climb down the stairs back into the courtyard.
3. After, climb up the damaged wall a few squares North of the door.
4. Head to the Northwestern corner, past the pedestal, and climb down the smashed wall.
5. Finally, enter the trapdoor to arrive at the first level of the dungeon.

Top Level

1. The location you want to reach is the Southwest corner of the fortress. Unfortunately, the pathway is blocked, and you’ll need to melt the ice with the heat globes.
2. Head to the Eastern room and pick up the heat globe from the pedestal.
3. Return to the room where you started and place the heat globe on the Western pedestal. The ice block will melt, and a level 102 waterfiend will attack you. Defeat it or run past with auto-retaliate off.
4. Pass through the gap where the ice was. Telegrab the heat orb you placed to retrieve it. By doing this, the ice will re-melt.
5. Use the globe you just retrieved on the pedestal in the next room to melt the ice, which will reveal a trap door.
6. Go down the trap door and leave the orb on the pedestal.

Bottom Level

1. Pick up the heat globe off the floor in the Southern room.
2. Use the globe on the pedestal in the North room, which will melt various ice deposits and spawn 2 water fiends.
3. Travel East until you see another pedestal called “Radiant Pedestal”. Remove the imperfect heat orb.
4. Exit the dungeon the way you entered and return to the castle courtyard.

Surface

1. Climb up the damaged wall West of the entrance. Then head to the Northeastern corner, where the destroyed pedestal is.
2. Use the imperfect heat orb on the smashed globe holder.
3. Once you have added the globe, right-click and select “push”.
4. A small cut-scene will begin, wherein you push the orb down into the hole at the centre of the courtyard.
5. Go back to the bottom-level dungeon by selecting “Yes, carry on from where I was” on the trap door.

Bottom Level

1. Once down at the bottom level, go East back to the imperfect heat globe’s location.
2. After, go South, then West to pick up another heat globe.
3. Head back East, where the path turns North, and you’ll see a pipe in an alcove on the Southen wall. The pipe is easily spotted on the map since it’s marked.
4. Use a hammer on the pipe or select the “Whack pipe” option. The globe will go through the other end of the pipe and land on a pedestal in a different room. This will melt the ice and allow passage through.
5. Go West until you reach the Southeastern room.
6. Climb the ladder and prepare to fight the Ice Demon.

Ice Demon Fight

1. Run a few rooms towards the West and engage with the level 98 Ice Demon. It will attack with either Ranged or Magic. However, since it hits harder with magical attacks, it’s recommended to use Protect from Magic Prayer.
2. Slay the demon to obtain the Frostenhorn as a drop.
3. Pick up the Frostenhorn and return to Azzanadra.

The Big Bang

1. Azzanadra will have finished restoring the altar when you return.
2. Speak to him, and he will tell you to acquire the last item from someone outside by the winch.
3. Go up to the winch West of where you’d entered. You’ll see an assassin who tricked you during the Devious Minds quest.
4. Speak to him, and he will give you a relic that you’ll pass on to Azzanadra downstairs.
5. A cut-scene will begin, where Azzanadra opens a communication portal and talks to Zaros. The portal allows Zaros to influence Gielinor in small ways. This will be shown in the cut-scene as strange events will occur in Runescape.
6. Talk to Azzanadra again to complete the quest.
7. Congratulations you’ve now completed The Temple at Senntisten quest!
