Temple Trekking
Written By Bboyjyoung
Special Thanks to N1k, Thomas154321, Colinross, Neo Avatars, frstbase11, Anubis Temple Trekking is a mini-game in which you play the part of a "bodyguard" and attempt to protect someone from monsters, while guiding them to the Paterdomus Temple. There are a number of cool rewards you can get, along with some decent experience, so this game is well worth a try!
Temple Trekking is a special minigame you can play after the completion of the required quests (see below). Your goal is to successfully escort your companion to the Paterdomus temple. Note that you do not have to walk all the way there... Further explanation will be given further in the guide. Temple Trekking can be a decent alternative to get some Experience books, herbs, snake hides, shade bodies and materials. You can also get some good combat experience. This game will mostly test your ability to defend someone you protect. This minigame is Dangerous. You WILL lose your stuff if you die! You will also have to use some of your own resources. There are, however, different stages of difficulties and routes. This is your chance so play "Bodyguard" and have the opportunity to get interesting rewards in the end! In order to try and play this minigame, you must have completed the following quests: It is also recommended to have done the Haunted Mines Quest and have at least 43 Prayer plus a decent combat level (70+). There are multiple ways to get to the minigame, all shown on this map.
Before starting, it is highly recommended you have the following items:
When you are fully equipped, your inventory should look like this:  The way you set your combat equipment is up to you. This is only a recommended Set-up. You might want to take more prayer potions for the hard tasks. However, don't strip out too much food, because you can heal your companion with it, and yourself, of course. You can also bring stat raising items, as some fights can be difficult. All these recommendations are for you to be prepared for any eventual events. When you feel you are ready and prepared, speak with one of the six villagers. You can ask them questions if you want. When you are ready, tell them you can bring them to Paterdomus.  If your companion dies during your trek, you will have to escape your event and return to Burgh De Rott and start over. Even if they die, they will be at Burgh De Rott again, therefore you can try as many times as you like. Easy Easy villagers are able to defend themselves and have the most hitpoints. However, this does not mean they can't die. Dalcian Fang:
Fyiona Fray:
Medium These villagers cannot fight back and have less hitpoints than the easy ones. Jayene Kliyn:
Valantay Eppel:
Hard These villagers are extremely fragile, as they have low hit points, and have no combat abilities whatsoever. They fight back, but they never even manage to damage a foe. They keep engaged in combat until that creature is dead, therefore they will die easily. They will give the greatest rewards. If you are up for a challenge, take them throughout the hard route! Rolayne Twickit:
Smiddi Ryak:
When you have spoken with the desired villager and difficulty, you will be taken at the beginning of your trek:  If you want to turn back at this point, close the route map and right click on the end of the path. You can also give them food to use later. You can also give food to your companion here so he/she can use it later. From this point, your protegé will tell you to select your route:  You and your companion are represented by the small white and red pawns. You do not have to walk all the way to the temple! The route you select will determine the difficulty of the monsters, the chance of an encounter (Event) as well as your reward (If you make it out, that is). For example : If you take route two with Smiddi Ryak, you will have a Hard-Medium Trek. The difficulty of the Villager is how hard it is to defend your protegé, and the path is the difficulty of the event and level of reward. Events randomly occur after you select your path. When a event occurs, you will see a Exclamation point like this on your map:
There are 3 Different types of events:
When an event happens, you will be in a Multi-combat Zone. Also, you will not be in the normal world, you will be in a small enclosed area where you must either fight/solve to continue, or escape.Your companion will be vulnerable, here. You will have to protect him/her. Not all of them can fight back. They can/will get attacked, so pay attention to their life. You can heal them with food, but only when they are not engaged in combat! Here is a Map Chart of all different possible Combat Zone Areas. This will also show you the Exit, Evade and Escape points. Use this to plan your tactics:  At the edges of the event area, there will be small blue rocks that you can right click. This marks your Escape/Continue points. There are several different kinds and options you may find:  
When you arrive at the temple, you will be given a Reward Scroll that you must cash-in in the Burgh De Rott Bank. Further will be explained in the Rewards Section. Some monsters appear only on certain routes, and the monster level depends on the route difficulty. You can get up to 6 monsters. Vampyre Juvinates:
Ghasts:
Giant Snails:
Giant Snakes:
Shades:
 Shades can also be slain with the halberd easily. It is quite risky, however. Simply place your companion between them and you. The Tentacle Monster: 
There is only one good event... However, it is very rare. Abidor Crank:
Obstacle events are situations where you must find a way to get across the terrain. Often, there are things you can use in your environment. In these events, it's quite useful to have your hatchet and knife with you. These Events can happen on any path. The Bog: The bog is quite simple to cross. You will need a bladed weapon or a knife, and 3 empty inventory slots for this part.
Begin by using your sharp weapon or knife on the Spiny Bush. You will get 3 sticks.  You must now use the sticks on the bog to see if it is walkable or not. Each time you check it, you will be able to move one square forward. Sometimes, you may randomly lose the stick. When it says "This ground seems quite firm." you will be able to step to that spot. Progress Square by Square. Don't just walk anywhere, be careful! Once you have made it to the other end, you will be able to keep going on your trek. The River:  The river is quite easy to cross, but will need a knife and 3 free inventory slots. If you don't have a knife, simply search the backpack near the viny tree. Use the knife on the Viny tree 3 times, and you should obtain 3 Short Vines. Use them together, and you should have a Long Vine. Use it on the other tree, and swing across. Resume the Voyage to the temple afterwards.  The Broken Bridge:  Quite simple as well, since all you have to do is repair the bridge. You will need your hatchet and 3 inventory spots on this part. If you don't have one, kill the level 23 Zombie to obtain a Bronze one. Cut the 3 Dead Trees to obtain logs. Equip your hatchet, and use all three logs on the bridge. If it is not equipped and you use the logs on the bridge, you will be told that you need a hammer in order to repair it, however, You won't need it if you Equip your axe. Move on to your trip to the temple. 
The easy route will give you a Blue Scroll, the medium route a Yellow Scroll and finally, the hard route will give you a Red Scroll. These scrolls will have to be swapped-in at the Burgh De Rott bank. There are many possible rewards, aside from the combat experience you get during events. You will receive some items when you cash-in your certificate. Sometimes, you may get an additional tome of experience. Here is a chart of the different possible rewards:
Note: Coal and Iron are generally received together at the same time and with the same amounts. The main factors that will influence your reward are:
If, for example, you have escorted Hard Difficulty village on the hard route, and you encountered a tentacle monster, killing it, and successfully making it to the temple, the chances are you will have the greatest possible reward! However the items you receive is completely random. The same rule applies to the Tomes of experiences. You cannot choose which tome you receive, and they will be randomly selected for any of the following skills: Agility, Firemaking, Fishing, Mining, Slayer, Thieving or Woodcutting:
Q : Will I lose my stuff if i die during this minigame? Q : Do I really have to walk all the way to the temple? Q : If my companion dies, will I be able to escort him again? Q : I can't kill the vampyres! What should I do? Q : I'm in a monster event, but I see no monsters! Q : I have no pouch charges left and I'm at a ghast event! What should I do? Q : I'm at the tentacle monster event, I've beat him or want to flee... but I can't go anywhere! What should I do? Q : Can I choose what Tome of learning I obtain as a reward? Temple Trekking is a quite risky minigame, although it may be challenging and somewhat fun. In the end you can get interesting rewards. It is also great to get snakehides (Giant Snakes), Shade bodies, fight difficult monsters, and test your combat strategies! After reading this extensive guide, you should be aptly prepared for any situation... Happy Trekking! |
