- 41In this area, go south to find a Witch guarding a chest. Listen at the grate, do not try to open it.
- 42Go west to find a Cat. You must first talk to one of the dwarves in the southwest area under the big witch maze.
- 43Return to the Witch and place the Cat at her door. Knock on the door. While she is distracted, sneak in and open the chest.
- 44Head to the southwest of this huge maze-like area. Kill the 3 Special Demons (two Level 78's and one Level 98) and obtain their Amulets. Open the nearby Chest for the Soul of Iban. Smear it on the Doll.
- 45When you drop down, you will be in a HUGE open area. Go to the southwest for some Dwarves. After obtaining the Witch's items, Klank will give you Klank's Gauntlets. Take the Bucket. Empty the single indoor barrel in the house for Dwarf Brew.
- 46Go to the east of this area for Iban's Tomb. Set it on fire with a Tinderbox. Take Iban's flesh and smear it on the Doll. You can drop your Tinderbox.
- 47Head to the northeast. Bend the Railing to go inside the spider cage. Kill the HUGE spider (Level 78) for Blood. Smear it on the Doll.
- 48Go upstairs (Stairs are to the northwest and southeast).
- 49Go all the way northwest of the Maze. Wear Klank's Gauntlets and Search Cages. The Souless will bite you but fail because you are wearing the gauntlets. The cage containing the dove is the furthest south cage of the furthest west row.
- 50One cage will yield Dove Remains. Smear them on your Doll.
- 51Final Battle: Head to the middle of the maze, kill some Iban Disciples for Zamorak Robes, wear them, and go inside. Ensure you have 2 or 3 empty inventory slots before entering the temple.
- 52Iban will see you have the Doll. Walk towards him, dodging his spells, and throw the Doll into the Well. Iban will die.
- 53You will be flung into an underground area. Talk to the helper again, and he will take you outside.
