Old School RuneScape Speedrun Guide: Morning’s End Part One

Morning’s End Part One is one of Old School RuneScape’s most intricate quests, blending stealth, logic, and preparation. When approached correctly, though, it can be completed quickly - especially if you’re aiming for a speedrun-style playthrough. This guide will walk you through the essentials: required items, preparation, key steps, and time-saving tips to ensure a smooth and efficient run, including options to buy OSRS gold for faster access to necessary supplies.

Preparation and Required Items

Before starting, gather the following items:

· 1 bear fur

· 2 silk

· 1 bucket of water

· 1 feather

· 1 rotten apple

· 1 pre-made toad crunch (from the Grand Exchange or Gnome Stronghold)

· 1 magic log

· 1 leather

· 1 ogre bellows

· 1 necklace of passage

· 1 Taverley or Falador teleport

· 4 West Ardougne teleports (more Ardougne teleports recommended)

· 3,500 coins

· 1 Dramen staff

· 1 stamina potion

· 1–2 pieces of food

· 1 barrel of naphtha

· 8 empty inventory spaces

If you don’t already have a barrel of naphtha, you can make one during setup - an essential step for efficiency.

Getting the Barrel of Naphtha

Deposit all unnecessary items, then withdraw:

· A charged amulet of glory or Camelot teleport

· 3,200 coins

· 9 coal

· A Remington or Draynor teleport

· A stamina potion

· A super antipoison

Step 1: Teleport to Camelot and run southeast to the charter ship.
Step 2: Take the ship to Port Tyras, then head east into Tyras Camp. You’ll see red dots on the minimap; pick up one of the barrels.
Step 3: Exit north through the dense forest, continue east, and cross the trip wire to the south. Use your barrel on the tar to create a barrel of coal-tar.
Step 4: Teleport to Remington. At the chemist’s house, use the barrel of coal-tar on the fractionalizing still.

Follow this exact sequence to refine it:

· Click the right side of the tar regulator valve twice to get the pressure gauge moving.

· When the needle hits the green zone, click the right side of the pressure valve once to lock it.

· Click the furnace twice to add coal. Adjust the heat so the dial rests between the “T” and the green zone.

· Maintain this temperature by adding coal as needed.

Once the green progress bar fills, exit the interface to receive your barrel of naphtha.

Gearing Up

For armor, wear weight-reducing gear, your best weapon, a charged glory, and a ring of dueling. This setup ensures mobility and safety throughout the quest. Bring protection prayers for key fights, and make sure your run energy is topped off with a stamina potion.

Teleport back to Camelot or Karamja and use the charter ship again to reach Port Tyras to start the quest proper.

Quest Progression and Combat Tips

Enter the dense forest north of Tyras Camp and pass through the trees. Right-click the stick trap to cross safely. If you don’t see Eluned or Islwyn in the forest, simply hop worlds until they appear.

Next, use your necklace of passage to teleport to the outpost and run west to the gate. Activate Protect from Melee and kill the mourner guarding the entrance. This enemy will reduce your stats and HP to 20, but won’t damage you under prayer protection. Pick up its drops, then teleport to the Ferox Enclave to restore your stats.

From there, teleport to Taverley, then use your teleport crystal to reach Lletya. Buy red, yellow, blue, and green dyes from the NPC there. Equip your full mourner’s outfit - the quest helper should confirm when all pieces are on.

Creating Dyed Toads

Teleport to Edgeville using your amulet of glory, then access the fairy ring code to reach the swamp. Use your ogre bellows on the swamp toads until empty, then combine each dye with the bellows to make colored versions. Inflate one toad per dye.

Return to Ardougne and use the green toad on the fixed device. Equip it, stand six or seven tiles from the green sheep, and aim using your combat interface. Click the red button when the sheep aligns with your crosshairs. Repeat for each dyed toad, targeting the corresponding sheep colors.

Final Steps and Quest Completion

Once all toads have been used, teleport to West Ardougne and head to the mourner headquarters. Then, teleport to Elena’s house west of Ardougne Bank to continue the storyline. Finally, use the toxic naphtha on the range in the western building, then on the food sacks in West Ardougne.

Finish by teleporting back to Lletya with your crystal to report to Arianwyn and complete the quest.

Conclusion

Morning’s End Part One may seem complex, but when executed with proper preparation and efficient routing, it becomes a short, manageable quest. Focus on early setup, proper teleportation, and quick transitions between steps. By ensuring you have all necessary items - which you can even acquire using cheap OSRS gold - you’ll complete it in record time and be well-prepared to take on Morning’s End Part Two.
