Full Walkthrough

Start by heading to Sinclair Mansion, located just northwest of Camelot. Talk to Gossip outside the mansion. He explains that Anna has been accused of murdering her father, Lord Sinclair, and the rest of the family has gone missing. King Arthur and his knights are also nowhere to be found.

Speak with the guard inside the mansion's courtyard. He believes the Sinclairs are planning to reclaim Camelot. To find evidence, enter the mansion through the broken window on the east side.

Inside, collect the following:

· A scrap of paper from the ground floor dining room

· An address form from the upstairs library

· A black knight's helm was hidden behind the bookcase in the library

Return the items to the guard through the window. Then talk to Gossip again to learn more about the Sinclair family's history.

Next, go to the Seers' Village courthouse, located southeast of the bank. Talk to Anna. She offers you information in exchange for proving her innocence during her trial.

Start the trial by going downstairs. During the trial, the prosecution presents four pieces of evidence: fingerprints, poison, a thread from Anna's clothing, and a timeline of her presence. You need to question the witnesses in a specific order to dismantle their case:

1. Ask the Dog Handler about the poison.

2. Ask the Butler about the dagger.

3. Ask the Maid about the night of the murder.

4. Ask any witness about the thread.

If done correctly, Anna will be found not guilty. Speak to her once more outside the courtroom.

Go east of Camelot Castle and examine the statue. You'll witness Anna and her brother David admit they set you up, and then Morgan Le Faye appears and knocks you out.

You wake up in a prison with Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. Talk to Merlin. He explains that Arthur has been turned to stone, Morgan and the Sinclairs are working together, and the Black Knights have stolen the Holy Grail.

To help Merlin escape, investigate the vent on the wall. The knights will build a human pyramid so he can crawl out. You can also use the vent to leave if you need to restock or take a break.

To escape yourself, either use Telekinetic Grab on the hairclip outside the cell or ask the knights for a lockpick. Solve the lock puzzle by setting all tumblers to the lowest height. Adjust the heights until each tumbler is correct (a green circle will show it's correct).

Once you're out, head upstairs in Keep Le Faye. On the top floor, search the table with boxes and choose the round purple box that's second from the right. This is the Holy Grail. Choosing the wrong box results in traps, including damage, skill drains, or teleportation outside the area.

If you get teleported out, you can return by trying to enter Keep Le Faye again, or by clicking the statue east of Camelot to get thrown back in by Morgan.

Now, go to East Ardougne and speak with Wizard Cromperty. He will explain how to reverse Morgan's spell using a combination of the Holy Grail, granite, and a magical scroll.

Make sure you have the following:

· Animate rock scroll (from Cromperty)

· A piece of granite

· Holy Grail

· Bronze med helm

· Iron chainbody

· Full black armour set

Head to the Black Knights' Fortress, located west of Edgeville. Wear the bronze helm and iron chainbody to pass the entrance guards. Once inside, change into your full black armour.

Push the suspicious wall behind the entrance, which will only move if you're wearing full black armour. Climb down the ladder to reach King Arthur, who is now turned to stone.

Use the animate rock scroll, granite, and Holy Grail together to break the spell. Once Arthur is freed, give him the bronze helm and iron chainbody so he can disguise himself.

Finally, return to Camelot and speak with Arthur to complete the quest.

What to Do After the Quest

After completing King's Ransom, you must finish the Knight Waves Training Grounds to unlock Piety. This is a combat challenge where you face eight knights in a row without banking. Bring strong melee gear, food, and prayer potions.

Unlocking Piety is extremely useful for both PvM and PvP. It boosts attack, strength, and defence, making it one of the best melee prayers in the game.

Completing this quest is also required for several achievement diaries, including the hard Morytania and hard Kandarin diaries.

Whether you're after Piety, diary completion, or just a good quest story, King's Ransom is well worth your time and OSRS gold. And if you'd rather skip the grind, you can always look into professional questing services to handle it for you.
