OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (1)

Firebird's Feather

  1. You will first need to get Ice Gloves. Bring everything you would need to beat a level 111 monster. You can use prayer and magic. Bring lots of food, as it is not a direct passage to killing the Ice Queen. Also, bring along a pickaxe.
  2. Go to White Wolf Mountain (West of Taverley, East of Catherby). Get on the mountain at the South end, and go North until you come to a rock slide. Use your pickaxe on the rockslide to get past. Once you are past it you will be near 3 ladders and level 53 Ice warriors.

  3. Use the Southern ladder, take the South-West tunnel until you come to a ladder, go up. You will know it is the correct one if there are level 54 Ice giants there. There should be 2 ladders besides the one you came up, take the Eastern ladder down.

    Go North along the tunnel, it is very long and has level 61 Ice spiders in it that do not appear on your mini map. This tunnel makes a loop, and dead ends at a ladder. Go up, then go down the only other ladder.

    Continue until the tunnel opens into a large room with Ice warriors and the Ice Queen. Be warned, this is a multi-combat area, so you will be attacked by multiple enemies!

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (3)

  4. The Ice Queen is level 111 and may be aggressive, depending on your level (To get out of the way for the Ice warriors, just stand behind the throne. There you can attack Ice Queen but the ice warriors can't attack you ). Kill her and she will drop the Ice Gloves.

    Note: You might want to use a teleport spell to get out once you get the gloves.

    If you do not have teleport runes, go back through the long tunnel to the ladder that leads to the Ice Giants. Use the Northern ladder here to go back into the caves. Follow this area North until you come to a ladder, go up, and you will be out of the caves, past the Ice warriors and rock slide.

    Go to the bank and put all armour and weapons into the bank but keep the Ice Gloves as you will need these.

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (4)

  5. Go to Port Sarim and catch a boat to Entrana (talk to a Monk of Entrana). It (the Firebird) is running around on the North-Eastern part of the island. This is on the North side of the bridge.

    Kill the Firebird and equip your Ice gloves to pick up the Firebird's feather.
    Make sure you are wearing the Ice gloves; without them you won't be able to pick the feather up!

The Master Thieves Armband

You will need the help of a friend. If you're in the Phoenix gang then you will need the help of a friend in Black Arm gang; if you're in the Black Arm gang you will need the help of a friend in the Phoenix gang.

For Black Arm Gang Member:

  1. Go to Varrock and speak to Katrine about the Master Thieves Armband. She will tell you that the gang password is "Four leaf clover."

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (6)

  2. She will tell you that you have to steal ScarFace Pete's Candlesticks. ScarFace Pete lives in Brimhaven on Karamja. You will need to get the ID paper first.
  3. Go to Brimhaven and find the gang office, which is the building East of the bar. Speak to Trobert there and he will give you the ID paper, which you need to get into ScarFace Pete's mansion.

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (7)

  4. Before going to ScarFace Pete's Mansion, you will need to obtain a Black full helm, Black platebody and Black platelegs. Wear them when you get to the Mansion. You can buy the helmet and legs at the Champion's Guild, and the platebody at the Varrock Armour Shop.
  5. When you try to enter ScarFace Pete's Mansion you will be stopped by Garv. You must show him the ID paper and then he will let you in.

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (8)

  6. Go talk to Grip inside and ask him if there is anything you can do around there. He will give you a "miscellaneous key." Exit the building and give this key to your Phoenix friend who is helping you with this quest. Now wait until your Phoenix gang conspirator is in place. Then go into the room North-East of the main entrance and search the cupboard and a guard will scold you; this will lure the Grip into the room where the Phoenix Gang member can kill him. Once he dies, Grip will drop some keys.

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (9)

  7. Grab the keys and go to the Treasure room, where you will find the Candlesticks. Give one of these to your Phoenix friend. You cannot take a candlestick from someone else. Katrine will know you didn't do the quest properly and will not give you the band. The only way to get out is the door you came in; your Phoenix friend should meet you there.

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (10)

  8. Go back to Varrock and talk to Katrine again. She will give you the Master Thieves Armband.

For Phoenix Gang Member:

  1. Go to Varrock and speak to Stravan about the Master Thieves Armband (Stravan is the doorkeeper in the basement of the Phoenix Gang hideout). He tells you to steal Scar Face Pete's Candlesticks and tells you that the Phoenix gang has associates in Brimhaven on Karamja.

    Their names are Charlie the Cook and Alfonse the Waiter in the pub called the Shrimp and Parrot. Stravan also gives you a secret password; the password is "Gherkin."

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (11)

  2. Make sure first that you have the key from your Black Arm Gang Friend. This is the miscellaneous key.
  3. You will need a bow and arrows before going to the Shrimp and Parrot pub. When you are at the Shrimp and Parrot pub, talk to Alfonse the Waiter and then go into the kitchen and talk to Charlie the Cook. Don't forget to give the password.

  4. Charlie the Cook will tell you that there is a secret wall panel. Push the wall on the West wall to access a yard with several Guard dogs (aggressive). Get past these and open the door (West side of the yard) to the mansion and go inside.

    Use the Miscellaneous key (from your Black Arm Gang friend) on the door to the North. This puts you in a closet with a window into into the room with the cupboard. Wield the Bow and shoot through the hole in the wall at Grip and kill him. He will drop the keys for your Black Arm gang friend.

    OSRS Heroes' Quest - RuneScape Guide (13)
