Speedrun

Talk to Aris just south-west of Varrock Square.( 1•1•3)…
1 Yes.
1 How am I meant to fight a demon who can destroy cities?
3 So how did Wally kill Delrith?
Note: Make sure you note down the incantation said during the cutscene! The order will also change with every reset. The speedrunning timer will not start until the cutscene ends.
- It can be helpful to note the sequence dialogue option numbers corresponding to the incantation as well: 1 - Carlem; 2 - Aber; 3 - Camerinthum; 4 - Purchai; 5 - Gabindo.
Run north to the Varrock Castle past the courtyard, dropping your tuna on the way there.
Talk to Sir Prysin in the south-west room of the castle with the training dummy. ( 3•1•2•1)…
3 Aris said I should come and talk to you.
1 I need to find Silverlight.
2 He's back and unfortunately I've got to deal with him.
1 And why is this a problem?

Run north-west to the corner of the castle and take the stairs upwards two times to the 2^nd floor^[UK]3^rd floor^[US], then talk to Captain Rovin to receive the first key ( 3•1•2•2•3•1), then climb back down to the ground floor^[UK]1^st floor^[US].

Run to the kitchen to the north-east, then climb up the western stairs, grab the bucket on the floor two tiles east, and climb back downstairs.
Use the bucket on the kitchen sink to fill it up, and then use the bucket of water on the drain outside of the kitchen wall. Drop the bucket and run southwards through the castle to the eastern entrance.
Climb down the manhole to the Varrock Sewers east of the castle, outside the wall.
Follow the path slightly west, then start running north. While running, select Soul Wars from the Grouping tab and drink an energy potion. Drop any empty vials. Continue down to the end and pick up the rusty key from the floor. Hit space bar quickly to dismiss the dialogue when picking up the key.
- The rusty key can be hard to spot. It is located in the first divot to the west, before the water, on a hexagon-shaped tile.
Teleport to Soul Wars using the Grouping (minigame) tab.
Use the Soul Wars bank chest to deposit both the rusty key and first key.
Exit the portal to Edgeville ( 1)…
1 Edgeville
. Enter Edgeville Dungeon through the trapdoor in the south-eastern corner of the building directly south of the Edgeville bank.
Drink another energy potion and drop the vials. You should now have 25 empty inventory spaces, coins, and 2 energy potions.
Run briefly north, and collect the three bones against the walls.
- The bones are located in the south-west corner, slightly north along the wall, and just east before the northern passage. Turn your camera to see the bones in the south-west corner if you are having difficulty.
Run east to reach a small room with 3 Giant rats and four bone spawns. Pick them up and prepare to hop worlds. Be careful not to attack the Giant rats as you will not be able to world-hop immediately!
- The four bone spawns include two to the north, one to the west, and one to the east.
- Note: The timer does not stop when hopping worlds.
Hop worlds and continue to collect the 4 bones until you have 25. Immediately use Lumbridge Home Teleport.
Run west through the Lumbridge Castle to get to Draynor Village, drinking any extra energy potions and dropping empty vials if you can.
While running/walking to Draynor Village bank, set up your offensive quick prayers such as Superhuman Strength and Improved Reflexes. Walk for approximately 8-10 seconds since the weight of the bones will drain run energy faster. Keeping 5-10 run energy by walking here is recommended if you want more consistent timing against the fight with Delrith while resetting aggression from the Dark wizards.
Use the Draynor Village bank and withdraw both the rusty key and first key.
Run to Diango and drop 3 bones before trading with him.
Buy a Chronicle and two teleport cards. Add the teleport charges to the Chronicle and wield it.
Drop your coins, then pick up the 3 bones you dropped.
- You should now have a Chronicle with 2 charges wielded, the rusty key and first key, 25 bones, and you may have 1 energy potion left.
Run to the Wizards' Tower directly south of Draynor Village bank.
Climb the spiral staircase once upwards to the 1^st floor^[UK]2^nd floor^[US], then talk to Wizard Traiborn in the eastern room. ( 1•3•2)…
1 I need to get a key given to you by Sir Prysin
3 Well, have you got any keys knocking around?
2 I'll get the bones for you.
.
Use one of the bones on him to complete the delivery.
As soon as you get the third key, use your wielded Chronicle to teleport to the Champions' Guild.
Run back to Sir Prysin in Varrock Palace in the south-west room with the training dummy. Talk to him; a brief stall will occur while he gets retrieves it from the cabinet nearby. He will give you Silverlight and it will automatically equip.
Teleport with the wielded Chronicle once again to the Champions' Guild and begin running east.
- The upcoming fight takes place in a single-way combat zone. Any attack by the Dark wizards will prevent you from attacking Delrith. Read below for more information, and be prepared to reset aggression multiple times if needed.
Run to the Stone Circle south of Varrock. Stay to the south.
Activate your quick prayers when you get close to the stone circle. Run along the eastern edge of the southern-most section of the circle, on top of the stones, to begin a cutscene. Complete all cutscene dialogue or you will have to re-watch it!
Initiate combat with Delrith while avoiding the Dark wizards.
- If you are attacked by a Dark wizard, you can leave the cutscene area and reenter to lose aggression. See the image below for the best tiles.
As soon as you can, select Banish on Delrith, and then recite the incantation you learned in the initial cutscene.

Speedrun complete!
