The Garden of the Ancients

1 – Frozen Crypts

All the frozen crypts are similar. They all have secret doors, and most of them contain champion’s death masks, which can be used in the quests Princess Evangeline and Rahvan’s Curse.

Here are the specifics for each:

#1a contains a statue in the southeastern corner. Clicking on the statue will reveal a secret room with the chant of master self-awareness (Chant 39) in it.

#1b contains a champion’s death mask (Quest Item 59), plus secret doors in the eastern, western, and southern walls. The secret door to the east leads to a sanctuary door requiring a character with Combat Magic 25.

#1c contains a champion’s death mask (Quest Item 60), plus secret doors in the eastern, western, and southern walls. In Broken World, you’ll also encounter one of those annoying level 45 undead Azunite archer heroes inside the crypt.

#1d contains a champion’s death mask (Quest Item 61), plus secret doors in the eastern, western, and southern walls.

3 – Circle of Mushrooms

The circle is involved in the secondary quest Amren’s Vision.

4 – Champion Rahvan

Rahvan is involved in the primary quest Princess Evangeline and the secondary quest Rahvan’s Curse. You’ll need to bring him champion’s death masks (found in the Frozen Crypts at #1 and Exit B) in order to enter the Azunite Burial Grounds via Exit C.

5 – Tower

At the top of the tower you’ll find lecterns containing the chant of melee awareness (Chant 40) and the chant of ranged awareness (Chant 41).

6 – Spirit

The spirit is involved in the quest Spirits of Aranna.
