Pyramid Plunder guide

Introduction

In the town of Sophanem lies a pyramid full of many mysterious treasures. You will need to use your thieving skills to loot many different artefacts from the urns, pots and chests that lay inside the pyramid. You must have haste as you only have five minutes to loot the pyramid. A local archaeologist will be willing to pay for your artefacts, so be on the look out for trinkets and other valuables. Whilst looting you may stumble across an ancient sceptre belonging to an ancient king, this sceptre will allow you to use various teleports, see the Pharaoh's Sceptre section for more information.


Note: This is not a safe mini-game; if you die in this mini-game you will lose your items.

Requirements

Level 21 Thieving is required to enter the pyramid. As you advance through the rooms, the requirement will rise by ten levels a time, e.g Level 21, Level 31, Level 41 etc. The higher the level of the room your in, the greater chance of recieving better rewards there is, although you may recieve all the rewards in any room.

• Room 1 requires level 21 Thieving
• Room 2 requires level 31 Thieving
• Room 3 requires level 41 Thieving
• Room 4 requires level 51 Thieving
• Room 5 requires level 61 Thieving
• Room 6 requires level 71 Thieving
• Room 7 requires level 81 Thieving
• Room 8 requires level 91 Thieving

You will need to have started or completed the Icthlarin's Little Helper quest to be able to enter Sophanem. Bringing an armour and food is advised since if you fail to loot the Sarcophagi and chests level 98 Scarabs and level 86 Mummies will attack you. An anti-posion potion is also advised since the snakes in the urns may posion you. Lastly a flute is also useful to stop being posioned by the snakes. A flute can be obtained from Ali the Snakecharmer in Pollnivneach.

Playing

When outside the pyramid you will see four doors into the temple, one of these doors will randomly have the Guardian Mummy inside, you must find the correct door and speak to the Guardian Mummy to start the mini-game. Upon speaking to the mummy you will be moved to the first room, as you enter the room make sure to choose the "Pass" option on the wall otherwise the spears will damage you, you must do this for every room. Now you may loot the urns, and the sarcophagi and the golden chest.

If you fail to loot the urns the snake will damge you and posion you.
If you fail to loot the Sarcophagi or Golden Chest you will be attacked by Mummies and Scarabs.

Trinkets can be looted from the urns, but from the Sarcophagi and Golden Chest you may loot the Pharaoh's Sceptre, this is a random chance and is more likely to be looted from higher level rooms, you may also loot trinkets from them. Once you have finished in a room, you must pick-lock the doors on the walls, you will fail less if you use a pick lock but opening the doors without a pick lock will result in earning more xp.

Experience

All the objects in the pyramid give thieving xp except the Sarcophagus which gives strength xp.
