===== Getting Start =====

1. Talk to **Edmond in East Ardougne**, found outside his house in the **Northwest-most** part of **East Ardougne**. After you agree to help, he'll ask for **Dwellberries** in order to make a gas mask for protection from the plague inside **West Ardougne**. This is also a good time to grab that portrait of the girl before you head down to the sewers.

2. Talk to **Alrena** nearby, and she'll exchange your **Dwellberries** for a **Gas mask**.

You can get another Gas mask from the wardrobe in the house via drop trick. Be sure to take the **Picture** item on the table while you're here.

4. Talk to **Edmond** again, he will tell you his plan for entering the city. **Use four buckets of water** on the **mud patch** in **Edmond's yard**.

{{quest_guides:plague_city:plague_city_5.png}}

5. Afterwards, **use the spade** on the mud patch in order to dig down into the sewers. 

{{quest_guides:plague_city:plague_city_9.png}}

<WRAP center round tip 100%>
Using the 'dig' option with the spade will NOT work.

===== Underground tunnel =====

6. **Investigate** the **pipe** to the south of where you enter the sewers. You will attempt to **pull off the grill** blocking the pipe but be unable to do so. 

  * **Talk to Edmond** again, and he'll suggest using a **rope** to pull the grill off.

{{quest_guides:plague_city:plague_city_12.png}}

  * **Use your rope on the grill**, then talk to **Edmond** again. You will enter a cutscene where the two of you remove the grill. Put on your Gas mask, and climb up the pipe into West Ardougne.

{{quest_guides:plague_city:plague_city_14.png}}

7. You will enter a cutscene where the two of you remove the grill. Put on your **Gas mask**, and **climb-up** the pipe into **West Ardougne**.

===== Plague City =====

8. Talk to **Jethick** (who is wandering in the main square just east of where you enter the city) and ask about Elena. You must have the **picture of Elena** in your inventory at this point, or Jethick won't be able to tell you where to find her. Agree to return his book.

{{quest_guides:plague_city:4.png}}

9. Make your way north to a small house near the northern wall, with **Ted**, **Martha** and **Billy Rehnison** inside. You'll return the book from **Jethick** upon entering, and can ask about **Elena**.

10. Go upstairs and talk to **Milli Rehnison**. She'll tell you about a plague house where she saw Elena being taken. The house is directly south, against the **southern wall of the city**.

11. Attempt to enter, and the **Mourners there will stop you**. Tell them **"I think a kidnap victim is in here."**, and they'll direct you to Bravek in order to get permission to enter. 

{{quest_guides:plague_city:6.png}}

12. Go to the large building near the center of the city, and **talk to the Clerk**. Tell him **"I need permission to enter a plague house."** followed by **"Surely you don't let them run everything for you?"** and finally **"This is urgent though! Someone's been kidnapped!"**

13. Go upstairs and talk to **Bravek**, who's too hungover to be of any use. Ask him about a cure for it, and he'll give you a note with the recipe for it. Kind of. 

14. Combine your **bucket of milk** with **chocolate dust**, and then use snape grass on the result. Talk to Bravek again with the newly-made Hangover cure. Tell him **"They won't listen to me!"** to tell him the **Mourners** won't allow you to enter the plagued house. **Bravek** will give you a **warrant**. 

===== Freeing Elena =====

15. Enter the **East** door of the plague house guarded by Mourners that you went to previously. You will distract the Mourners and go through the door.

16. **Search the barrel inside the house** for **a small key**, then **go down the stairs**.

17. **Use the key on the cell door**, and talk to **Elena**.

===== Quest Complete =====

18. At this point, you can either **leave West Ardougne by teleport**, or return via the **manhole you entered from to get back to the sewers** (the mud pile in the sewers where you came down from Edmond's yard can be climbed to get back there). **Finally, speak to Edmond and you're done**.
