Walkthrough
To start the quest talk to the Queen of Arigon far east of the AFK arena at Home. Bring a spade with you
The Queen will then ask you to go to see Effigy (an NPC). You can get there by teleporting to Ardougne, and running south to the Tower of Life.
You will then have to go to Canifis and go to the bridge by the temple, speak to the Half-soulless.
It will tell you to go to the Slayer Tower and there will be a farm to the east of the Slayer Tower, search the box inside the house, and then to the east window of the building outside dig with your shovel, and you will find the piece of the mask.
For this next part make sure you bring a stamina potion and protect melee, and a mostly full inventory of food (sharks works fine, leave two spaces free), and go back to Effigy. He will talk to you and send you to a maze.
Warning: If the helm is not worn, then after 3 minutes your insanity will build up and will instantly kill you. This will result in a HCIM death
Make your way all the way through the maze, to the very top right. You will figure it out after 1 or 2 tries. The end part is in the Elite Black Demon cave, you will pass these Black Demons and keep going into the corner. There will be a portal and a body to search. Search the body to find the last mask piece.
Once collected the piece from the skeleton cage, bring it to Effigy,
Get ready for a boss fight as you now have to kill one of the black demons from the previous tunnel, and then you will be teleported into a boss fight. We recommend brews and restores only. (and boosting pots like range pots or combat pots). Now he will give you a mask and teleport you back inside of the demon cave, wear the mask back to the very end of the maze again and kill a black demon, once the demon dies you get teleported to the final boss fight. There are two phases. Range works best. Stay out of melee distance and pray Ranged.
Once killed, talk to effigy, and then return to the queen or Arigon Quest Completed!
