Walkthrough

- Start and find Shamus. Talk to the Warrior in the north-western Lumbridge Swamp, then chop the tree closest to the encampment and talk to Shamus the leprechaun.
- Bank for Entrana. Bank your axe and all weapons and armour. Keep runes, food, a knife and a teleport, then sail to Entrana from Port Sarim.
- Get a bronze axe. Enter the cave in the north-east of Entrana and kill zombies until one drops a bronze axe (about a 40% drop chance).
- Kill the Tree Spirit. Go south-east past the demons to the Dramen tree. Chop it to spawn the level 101 Tree Spirit and safespot it behind the southern fungus formation.
- Make the Dramen staff. Chop the tree for at least three branches, use a knife on one to make a Dramen staff, then teleport out rather than walking into the Wilderness.
- Enter Zanaris. Go to the tool shed in the centre of Lumbridge Swamp and enter it while wielding the Dramen staff.
