Special Thanks To Heb0, N3wb, Dr Skull, Lord Earth, Uther, Blueness, finished, Roy, Vampire Nemo, Merch Gwyar, Wildman

Start: Operate your Jennica's Ring in the portal northwest of Clan Wars.
Skills: 23 Summoning, 23 Woodcutting, 35 Hunter, 45 Mining, 47 Firemaking, 55 Prayer.
Quests: Spirit of Summer.
What you need: Ghostspeak Amulet, Jennica's Ring, a pickaxe, and a summoning pouch made with a Blue Charm (the summoning level needed will change according to your pouch), an axe, a spade, and a tinderbox.

Recommended skills: A high Hitpoints level, Agility level, and Woodcutting level help.
Recommended items: Good food, energy potions, and a Games Necklace.

The risk of dying in this quest is fairly high, so don't take items that you will regret losing. Armour doesn't really help against the attacks of the Beast. Also, however much you may dislike them, having the in-game sounds on helps tell you when actions are going to happen so you can run out of the way in time.

Getting Started

Go to the Ruins located East of Bounty Hunter and Northwest of Clan Wars. Stand on the portal and operate your Jennica's Ring. The ground will shake and you won't be able to go to the Spirit Realm. Soon, Summer will appear, talk with her.

She will tell you that you need to go to the Spirit Realm, if you have your ring, accept her invitation to teleport you there. If you don't have the ring, search in the rubble West of your location to obtain a new one. After she teleports you, you will find yourself in a conversation with four spirits. They will tell you that they're trapped in the Spirit Realm after they're murdered. They will also tell you some of the story about the Beast, including that it could create chaos in RuneScape if you don't destroy it now.

Speaking to the four spirits

Once that you're done talking with them, you'll appear in the Spirit Realm, to leave it you just need to operate your ring on the portal.

Return to RuneScape and walk North until you find a a cave, it's in the level 33 of the Wilderness. Collapse the cave by right-clicking on it and having a pickaxe in your inventory. It should look like this when you're done:

The cave

After that, return to the Spirit Realm by operating your ring when standing on the portal. Now that you're in the Spirit Realm, you have to lure the beast to the cave which is now unblocked in the Spirit Realm. To do this, you must summon your Blue Charm familiar near the beast (not too near since it will eat it). If you stay near to the cave, the beast will eventually complete its circle and come to you, lowering the distance you need to lure it. When it is near enough, enter the cave, and the beast will follow you. If the beast didn't enter the cave, you need to try again, remember to not get too near.

A map of the cave

Once inside the cave, the beast will start attacking you if you have told the spirit that you are ready to continue. Be extremely cautious, since it can hit up to 75 . The attacks are really easy to avoid since they target the floor and not you. A good way to do this is to keep running, drinking Energy Potions to keep your Energy up.

You will need your axe now, all around the cave there are some roots; you need to chop them until you get 15 Cursed Willow Logs. This can be hard since the beast will keep attacking you.

A good way to get the logs is by chopping the ones in the picture and when you see the ground shake, move to another one. You won't get hit.

Chop the roots to get cursed willow logs

After you got some logs, you can place them in the burners, you need to light three burners with five logs each. It should be noted that each time a fire is lit, the beast becomes angrier. Its attacks will become faster with an increased range. It is, therefore, better to not light any firepit until all three are filled with logs. Unfortunately, leaving the cave or dying means that any logs already placed in the firepits will disappear.

A good strategy is to collect fifteen cursed logs in one go. If necessary, exit the cave, with them in your inventory, to heal or replace run energy. Then return to place them all into the firepits. When adding the logs keep moving like in the previous step, don't try to place all the logs in a single attempt since you'll get hit. When you have added five logs to three different pits, use your tinderbox on the first and a cutscene will appear. During the cutscene, use the minimap to get your character well away from the beast, preferably next to another filled firepit. Light the next as soon as you are able. After the third is lit, the beast will leave the cave.

The beast!

Now proceed to the next room by going through the passage. A cutscene will appear and you will talk with Jallek about the beast and its weakness. He'll tell you to lure the beast by digging holes and luring the Dark Core of the beast to them.

Jallek Lenkin: There are soft patches of soil in this cave.

Basically, when the beast comes out you need to dig a hole in the soft soil, but be quick since you may receive an attack like the ones in the previous room.

The dark core has come out of the beast!
The spirits and the beast

Walk into the next room where you will see a cutscene with the three spirits and the beast in the background. They will tell you that you need to bless their graves according to the beast's actions. Each of the spirits will have a color and a shape. When a color and shape enters a grave, it means that the grave has been charged with that spirit. Bless three graves correctly to defeat the beast.

Bless the graves to defeat the beast

After that, speak to Summer and she will tell you to speak with the elders. Speak with them and they'll tell you to go to a better place and they can teleport you out of the cave. Now walk back to the farm and speak with them.

Quest Complete!
