Walkthrough of Tourist Trap

• Talk to Irena, south of Shantay Pass. Buy a Shantay pass from Shantay to pass through. Reply 1, 1 to start the quest. Normal accounts can use the Amulet of Glory (bought from the Grand Exchange) to teleport to Al Kharid and run south. However, ironman accounts have to run there from Lumbridge.

• Get ready to fight the Mercenary captain and run south to talk to him outside the Desert mining camp. Reply 1, 2, 2, 2, 1. The Captain will attack you. Kill him for a key.

Safespotting the Mercenary Captain

To safe spot the Mercenary captain, talk to one of the mercenaries when the fight starts, then use him to stop the Mercenary captain from reaching you, as shown above. This acts as a safe spot so you can kill the captain using mage or ranged without any damage.

• Unequip all combat gear and enter the desert camp. Wearing any combat gear will cause your character to be thrown into prison by the guards.
• Run east to the Male slave and talk to him. Reply 1, 2, 1, 1, 1. Make sure no guard is facing your direction and reply 1, 1 to switch clothes with the slave. Getting caught will result in your character being thrown in prison.
