• Attempt to enter the temple. Reply 1, 1. 

• Go down the ladder, north of the temple. Be ready to fight the Temple Guardian.

• After killing the Temple Guardian, return to King Roald in Varrock Castle. Reply 1.
• Get 50 essence from your bank. If you have a medium pouch, put 25 essence in it and carry 25 essence in your inventory, for a total of 50 essence. Without a medium pouch, carry at least 25 essence, so you can get a total of 50 essence in 2 trips. Leave one inventory space empty as well.

• Talk to Drezel to bless the water and use the blessed water on the coffin.
