OSRS Druidic Ritual Quest Guide: Unlock Herblore quickly

Walkthrough for Druidic Ritual

Speak to Kaqemeex

Talk to Kaqemeex at the Stone Circle north of Taverley. Kaqemeex’s location is shown in the image below.

• Choose chat options 2 → 1.
  He’ll ask for help purifying the druidic stone circle.
• The fastest route is to Falador teleport → run northwest to Taverley.

Talk to Sanfew in Taverley

• Bring all four raw meats and talk to Sanfew, located upstairs inside the Taverley Herblore store. Choose options 1 → 2. He’ll tell you to enchant the meats inside the Cauldron of Thunder. The image below shows how to get to Sanfew.

Enchanting the Meat

• Head south into Taverley Dungeon. Low-level players should bring food—level 22–23 Skeletons and level 19 suits of armour may attack you.

Once inside, run north until you reach a gate guarded by two animated armour suits.
You can:

• Kill them
  or
• Spam-click the gate to slip through safely

Use the Meats on the Cauldron

• Inside the room, you’ll find the Cauldron of Thunder.
• Use all four meats on the cauldron to turn them into their enchanted (blue) versions:
• Enchanted bear
• Enchanted chicken
• Enchanted rat
• Enchanted beef
   

Speak to Sanfew Again

Exit the dungeon, return to Sanfew, and hand over the enchanted meats.

Finish the Quest

Talk to Kaqemeex one last time to complete the quest and unlock Herblore.
