A Ghost in the Graveyard

Begin your quest by making your way to the Lumbridge Church, just east of Lumbridge Castle. Basically all you need to do is use your Lumbridge Home Teleport spell in you spellbook to arrive in Lumbridge. You won't be able to use this spell if you have already done so in the last half hour. Once in Lumbridge, go outside of the castle's courtyard and look for the church near the river. In the church, you will find Father Aereck, speak with him.

Talk to Father Aereck

Tell him you're in search of a quest. He'll tell you you're lucky, as he needs someone to do a quest for him. Now tell him you want to help. He'll then tell you the problem; apparently there's a ghost in the church graveyard, and he wants you to get rid of it. He also mentions that if you need any help, you should go visit Father Urnhey, Father Aereck's friend, in Lumbridge Swamp. You should be able to find his house in the western depths of the swamp, near the coastline.

Father Aereck: You'll have to go right into the western depths of the swamp, near the coastline.

Now exit the castle and go south into the church graveyard. Exit the graveyard to the south and you'll be in the general area of the swamp. Just follow the edge of the swamp all the way around. Don't go in it or you may get confused. If you just walk along the edge of the swamp you should eventually run into Father Urhney's shed on the west side of the swamp.

Route from the Lumbridge Church to Father Urhney's house

Amulet of GhostspeakOnce you're there, speak to Father Urhney. At first he'll demand you leave because he is meditating. Just tell him Father Aereck sent you. This will get him to talk to you, and he'll ask you what problem Father Aereck got himself into this time. Tell him he has a ghost haunting his graveyard. Since Father Urhney vowed never to leave his shed until he had done a full two years of prayer and meditation, you'll have to do it. He'll give you an amulet. It's an Amulet of Ghostspeak, and when you wear it you can speak to ghosts. He'll tell you that many ghosts are doomed to be ghosts because they left an important task unfinished. He says your best bet is to try and find out what the ghost's task was.

Note: If you happen to lose your Amulet of Ghostspeak, you can get another one from Father Urhney.

Select the "I've lost the Amulet of Ghostspeak" option to get a new amulet.

A Ghost's Skull

Now head back to the church graveyard and enter the small shack with a coffin in it. Open the coffin and the ghost will come flying out. Speak with the ghost.

Talk to the Restless Ghost

The ghost will be shocked that you can understand him. Confirm that you CAN understand him and want to know what the problem is. Eventually he'll tell you that he thinks he is doomed to be a ghost because a warlock once came along and stole his skull. He'll tell you he thinks it was one of the warlocks who live in a big tower by the sea southwest of your current location. You'll tell him you are going to get his skull back.

A headless skeleton in a coffin

Now head all the way back to Father Urhney's house. Except this time, don't go in it, just walk right past it. From his house, just keep following the coastline west. Doing this will eventually lead you into a path that leads on to a bridge, go on the bridge. At the other end of the bridge is Wizard's Tower, the big tower the ghost was talking about.

Route from the restless Ghost to the Wizard's Tower

SkullEnter the tower and climb down the ladder to find yourself in the basement. Enter the southeast room. Look for the altar with a skull on it. When you search the altar, a level 13 Skeleton will attack you, so be prepared. The skull should be in your inventory, so just run away. If the skull is on the ground because you had no inventory space, you can easily pick it up and the skeleton will stop attacking you. You can then go back to the Restless Ghost's coffin. However, if you feel like finishing off the skeleton, you may.

Attack the Skeleton

Once you're at the coffin, open it. Simply use the skull on the coffin to put it in. The Ghost will thank you and a cutscene will start, in which he is released. Congratulations! Quest Complete!

Congratulations, Restless Ghost Quest complete!
