To start this quest you must speak to the Zealot near the Mort Ridge Mines. You can find him south of Filliman's island across a small wooden bridge. Get some background information about the Mines before proceeding. Follow the mine cart tracks to the east, where you will find a mine cart with the "Jump Over" option. Keep following the cart until you reach a small cave. Go in to enter the mines.

Go straight west until you find a ladder, go down it. Now go North-East to another down ladder. Now go East to the down ladder past the moving mine cart. On this level of the mine you'll find a lift mechanism and an area you can't reach. You need a key to make the lift work, which the Zealot has. Go back and talk to him, he'll refuse to give you the key but you can pickpocket it off him. You can't go down the lift yet, however, you need a special light source for the bottom level of the mine.

Go back to the first level of the mine. Head east until you find another mine cart tunnel and go through it. Now you'll find more down ladders you couldn't reach before. Go all the way down to the level with the lift again. Here you'll find glowing fungi, pick one and work your way to the North-West. The first mine cart you see (that isn't stuck in a tunnel) should be search-able. Put the fungi in the mine cart, follow the tracks until you see a control panel, it is called "Point Settings". Examine it to orient yourself in the mine.

The glowing fungi will turn to ash if exposed to sunlight. You need to get the cart with the fungi to the ladder depicted on the Point Settings panel. Manipulate the controls found around the mine to these settings:

The controls are labeled by letters, examine them to find out which letter switches which parts of the track. Press the start button on the Point Settings panel to make a cart go where you direct it.

Now that the glowing fungus is near the other ladder, go back up to the first level. and through the western mine cart tunnels. Go back down to the third level of the mine, head west instead of east. There will be another down ladder, go down to the Fourth level and retrieve the fungus from the mine cart.

Go back up and then go down the Eastern ladder again. If you don't have a chisel, retrieve one from one of the crates on this level, Go to the "Water Valve" and turn it. Now you must RUN to the lift and go down it or a ghost will switch it off and you'll have to try again. Once you beat the ghost to the lift, however, you won't need to do so again.

You'll need to be ready to fight the level 95 monster, he will throw pickaxes magically at you (protect from ranged is VERY useful) and manipulate various loading cranes and mine carts to hurt you. He is also invincible while moving as a ghost so you need to wait for him to be standing still to fight him.

If you're ready to fight, go to the East and down the stairs. Then through a door, try to take the "Innocent Looking Key". The evil ghost will appear and you have to defeat him before you can take the key.

Once you have the key, you can go up one level, then head west until you find another set of stairs. Go down them and then through the large doors (the innocent looking key unlocks them). Now look for a purple smudge on your map, these are Salve Crystals. Once you find them you can cut a fragment off with a chisel. This will complete the quest.

To make the Salve Amulet, you just need to use a ball of wool on the crystal you cut off. It should increase your attack and strength by 15% when fighting undead monsters.
