Talk to King Arthur and see if you can join the Knights of the Round Table. You'll find that he's worried about Merlin who is trapped inside of a crystal and then he'll tell you about the Renegade Knights. Go outside and speak to Sir Gawain and ask him how Merlin got trapped in the crystal and then ask him if he knows how to get into Keep Le Faye Stronghold. Next, go up to Sir Lancelot and see if he knows anything about getting into Keep Le Faye Stronghold. As you will see during your exploits around Camelot, there are many Knights of the Round Table.

Talk to Arhein in Catherby. He reveals that he is waiting on a candle shipment before shipping off for deliveries.

Go behind the Catherby candle shop and hide in the crate. Once you do so, the crate will be shipped to the back of Keep Le Faye. When you reach the Keep, go up two sets of stairs and kill Sir Mordred. After you kill him, Morgan Le Faye will come, so ask her how to get Merlin out of the Crystal and she will tell you to get the Excalibur, a black candle, some bat bones and some magic words.

For the bat bones, go downstairs and kill some bats and pick up their bones. For the black candle, talk to the guy that works at the candle shop and ask him to make you a black candle. He tells you that he'll make one for you if you get him a bucket full of wax. Get the insect repellent which is in the first house north of Catherby. After you get it, head west to the beehives and pickup the bucket from the respawn over there. Once you get the bucket, spray the beehive with the insect repellent and then select 'take from' to get the wax. Take the wax back to the candle maker and he will give you a black candle. Use the tinderbox with the black candle to light it.

To get the Excalibur, go to the Lady of the Lake who is found on the small strip of land between the lakes at Taverly. Ask her for the Excalibur and she will tell you to come to the Port Sarim Jewellery store where she has a test for you. Bring a loaf of bread and go there. Once you get there, a beggar will appear so give them your bread and they will turn into the Lady of the Lake who will give you the Excalibur.

For the magic words go to the Chaos Altar in Southeast Varrock behind the east bank. Check it and it willll give you these magic words: Snarthon Candtrick Termanto.

After you get all of these, go to Camelot Castle, bring all these with you (Make sure your black candle is lit.) Go to the North East side of Camelot Castle and drop your bat bones on the orange Pentagram. A demon will appear and you will have to tell him the magic words. After telling him the magic words, he will tell you that you can free Merlin using the Excalibur.

Go to Merlin who is on the top floor of Camelot Castle and use the Excalibur on the crystal to free him. Then go down to King Arthur to finish the quest and claim your reward.

You can now use Excalibur, a somewhat weak weapon, but with a special attack that gives a temporary +8 boost to your defense level.
