Follow this guide to get the Totem in Old School RuneScape. Learn how to navigate Ardougne, find clues, and bypass mansion security to complete this quest.

Alright, so you're looking to grab that Totem, huh? This one involves a bit of running around, but it's pretty straightforward if you follow the steps. We'll be heading to Brimhaven and Ardougnne, so make sure you've got the means to travel there.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to Brimhaven. Find Kangai Mau, he's hanging out near the Shrimp and Parrot pub. Chat with him to get things rolling.
  2. 2
    Next up, we're off to Ardougne. Make your way to Handelmort Mansion and find the gardener outside. You'll notice you can't just waltz in the front door, so ask the gardener about security. He'll spill the beans that the code is 'his middle name' – keep that in mind!
  3. 3
    Now, find Wizard Cromperty. He's chilling in northeast Ardougne. He's got this fancy teleport block invention. Ask him to zap you somewhere, and you'll end up at the RPDT Depot. Once you're there, search the crates. You're looking for one that's headed to Handelmort Mansion. You'll automatically grab the delivery label.
  4. 4
    Here's a bit of a puzzle: take that label you just got and use it on the crate that's supposed to go to the wizard's tower in Misthalin. Stick that label right on it. Then, have a word with the RPDT employee. They'll get tricked into sending the crate to the mansion instead of the wizard's tower.
  5. 5
    Backtrack a bit. You need to search around in some nearby houses to find a Guide book. Once you've got it, read it and ask about history. It'll reveal the name you need to know for the mansion's code.
  6. 6
    Head back to Wizard Cromperty and ask him to teleport you again. This time, you'll land inside the mansion. When you try to go through the first door, you'll need to input a four-position code. The correct sequence is B, R, A, and D. After you're through that door, you'll face another door that needs picking. Search the stairs for a trap – you don't want to get caught! Then, head on up. Your prize, the Totem, is in the chest.
  7. 7
    Time to make your exit. Go back to the 'BRAD' door you used to get in and head through it. Go down the ladder, then head north, then east, and finally up another ladder. This will put you in west Ardougne. From there, go east to the boat, hop aboard, and sail back to Kangai Mau in Brimhaven to return the Totem.
Tips
  • Remember the gardener's middle name is the key to the mansion's security code.
  • Don't forget to search for traps on the stairs inside the mansion!
  • The RPDT crate trick is crucial for getting inside the mansion.

You'll receive the Totem upon returning it to Kangai Mau.
