Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success

General Description

Asyn remains are used in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. Cremating them using pyre logs gives gold and keys that can be used to get rewards from the chests in the shade tombs. Different shades occupy various areas of the tombs, with asyn shades the second highest type (combat level 100). Since players like the Firemaking XP and Prayer XP from cremating, as well as the rewards, the remains dropped by high-level shades sell for a good amount on the Grand Exchange. Fighting them can thus be a good moneymaker, as well as being a nice way of training combat stats. Note that you should always use a Salve amulet(e) for these, as they are undead.

To access the asyn shades you will need a black or silver shade key. To get one, purchase a couple of asyn remains yourself and then pyre them until you get a key (the remains are tradeable but the keys are not.)

At level 96 Summoning, the pack yak lets you collect a large number of remains on each trip, improving your efficiency considerably.

Specific Method Details

Get to Burgh de Rott by taking the shortcut from Canifis to Mort'ton and then heading south. At the bank, equip standard melee gear and your Salve amulet(e). Take out a 3-dose super set, your shade key, a pack yak pouch, two 4-dose energy potions (to restore energy used up during the prior run back from the tombs) and 15 salmon.

To get to the shades, run north out of Burgh de Rott, continuing to the center of Mort'ton. Bear northwest and continue up to the tomb doors and enter. Head south, open the steel door, and continue south as far as you can. Use your scrolls as needed to restore run energy. Run east to the black door, open it, and you'll be in a large room with asyn shadows (the dark circles) floating around. They turn into shades if you attack them or if they attack (they are aggressive.)

Take your super set and start fighting, collecting the asyn remains and eating food as needed. Summon the pack yak and transfer remains to it each time you have a good number. When done, run back to the bank, store the remains and repeat the process.
