how to get to the waterfall quest in osrs

July 7, 2026

To get to the Waterfall Quest in OSRS, you need to travel to Baxtorian Falls and start the quest by talking to Almera in her house just north of the Tree Gnome Village, on the east bank of the River Kandarin.

Below is a compact, story-style walkthrough focused on how to get there and reach the main quest areas safely.

How to Get to the Waterfall Quest in OSRS

Where the Quest Starts

The Waterfall Quest starts at Almera’s house, which overlooks Baxtorian Falls in Kandarin.

Almera’s house is:
- North of the Tree Gnome Village maze entrance.

* West of the Fishing Guild and south-west of Seers’ Village, on the eastern side of the River Kandarin.

The quest icon on the minimap is on the river bank at the falls themselves, with a small house on the cliff edge.

Think of it as a quiet riverside cottage where a worried mum sends you to check on her treasure-obsessed son.

Getting to Almera’s House

Here are some common routes depending on where you are:

1. From Ardougne

Use the Ardougne teleport or arrive by boat/train, then head north and slightly west following the River Kandarin upstream.

Keep the river on your left; after passing the Fishing Guild area (on the opposite, western bank), continue north until you see the house perched near the waterfall on the minimap.

2. From Seers’ Village / Camelot

Teleport to Camelot or start in Seers’ Village.

Go west to the river, then follow it south until you reach the house beside the waterfall.

3. From Tree Gnome Village

Go to the Tree Gnome Village maze entrance (south of the Combat Training Camp).

From the maze entrance, walk north along the east bank of the river; Almera’s house is just a short walk up the shoreline.

When you arrive:

Go inside the house.
Talk to Almera to start the quest; she’ll ask you to check on her son who is searching for treasure in the river.

Reaching the Raft and Crash Island

Once you’ve accepted the quest:

Step out the back of Almera’s house and board the raft behind it.

The raft carries you down the river and crashes into a small island in the middle of the falls.

On the island:

Speak to Hudon , Almera’s son, who refuses to leave and doesn’t help much.

After the dialogue, you can:
- Swim south off the island, or
- Use a rope on the rocks and then on the tree to progress safely toward the waterfall area later in the quest.

Later: Getting Behind the Waterfall

When you return later in the quest and need to actually get inside the waterfall:

Again, ride the raft from behind Almera’s house.

This time, do not swim away after the crash.
Use a rope on the rock outcrop near the island, then on the dead tree to move onto the waterfall ledge.

From the ledge, open the door behind the waterfall to access the Waterfall Dungeon entrance.

You must have the appropriate amulet (Glarial’s amulet) equipped at this stage or you’ll be swept away by the current when trying to enter.

Key Tips Before You Go

The quest involves high-level enemies (like level 84 giants) and dangerous areas, but it’s designed so low-level accounts can complete it with careful movement and minimal combat.

You will need:
- A rope ,
- Basic runes (air, water, earth) for the final puzzle,
- Glarial-related items gained during the quest (pebble, amulet, urn).

Completing the quest grants significant Attack and Strength experience and unlocks the Waterfall Dungeon, a popular Fire Giant training spot.
