[[File:Lighthouse area.png|thumb|550px|center|The Lighthouse.]]
===Unattended===
[[File:Larissa chathead.png|left|Larrissa]]
Travel to the [[Lighthouse]] by using an [[enchanted lyre]], a [[games necklace]] teleport to [[Barbarian Outpost]], a [[Teleport to House]], if your house is in Relekka, or any other method that you wish. Start the quest by speaking to [[Larrissa]], who can be found standing just outside the lighthouse entrance.

[[Larrissa]] tells you that she thinks that her boyfriend, who resides in the lighthouse, has gone missing as she hasn't seen him for a few days. To further her fears, the light is switched off and the front door bolted shut, which she says is unlike him.

===Diary of the.. Presumably Dead===
[[File:HFTD - Gunnjorn.png|thumb|170px|A player speaking to Gunnjorn.]]
When you offer to help search for her boyfriend, Larrissa suggests you speak to [[Gunnjorn]] at the [[Barbarian Outpost]] for a spare key to the lighthouse and also fix the broken bridge to the east.

'''''To be able to enter the agility area and talk to Gunnjorn, you must have completed the [[miniquest]] [[Bar Crawl]].'''''

*Travel to the outpost by either using a [[games necklace]] teleport or by going south, across the basalt platforms. Talk to [[Gunnjorn]] at the start of the agility course and get the [[lighthouse key]]; you can get two planks here; they respawn just north of the outpost.
*With a hammer and 60 steel nails in your inventory, use the [[planks]] on '''both''' sides of the broken bridge located east of Larrissa, shown in the map above. You can cross the broken bridge by doing a small jump, so just hop to the other side and fix that part of the bridge.

[[File:Lighthouse repaired.png‎‎|thumb|The fixed lighthouse.]]
Go back and talk to Larrissa again, who now tells you to enter the lighthouse and search for [[Jossik]]. Inside the lighthouse, climb to the first floor and search the bookcase. Take all the books available and flip through the [[manual|lighthouse manual]], [[ancient diary]] and [[Jossik's Diary|Jossik's diary]], which tells you about the history of the lighthouse and its inhabitants.

*On the top level, use [[molten glass]], [[swamp tar]] ('''not''' [[swamp paste]]) and a [[tinderbox]] on the lighting mechanism. The lighthouse will now be fixed.

===Elementary===
[[File:Dagannoth door.png‎|thumb|The fully unlocked door.]]
Go down to the basement of the lighthouse, where you will find a small cavern with a strange wall, having six empty slots fitted into its frame.

*Use all of the basic elemental runes on the wall, (fire, water, earth, and air)
*Use your sword and your arrow (any type, but remember that you will not get them back).

----
'''Warning''': This is your last chance to prepare for the fight.
----

===Preparation===
If you haven't prepared for this fight with armour and runes for casting magic, teleport to any place with a bank to ready yourself. If you only brought a games necklace, then use it to teleport to the [[Gamers Grotto]] or [[Burthorpe|Burthorpe Troll Invasion]] and bank there. While you are there, pick up any quick teletab to any city or your [[Player-owned house|POH]], just in case you are close to death, to save yourself.

====Inventory====
*Get good armour ([[Runite|Rune]] or better), [[Dragon hide armour]], or mage armour ([[Mystic robes|Mystic]] or better), bring many combat runes ([[chaos rune|chaos]], [[death rune|death]], or [[blood rune]]s) to cast several of each [[elemental spell]]. (wind, water, earth, and fire), get a good weapon for melee, and some ranged equipment. If possible, equip a [[ring of life]] and bring a one-click teleport just in case things get messy.
*Stock with [[prayer potion]]s and a [[super set]].

====Combat====
[[File:Dagannoth_Mother.png|thumb|200px|Safespotting the Dagannoth mother]]
If you cannot see the colour changes very well, look to the chat box. There would be a message "The Dagannoth mother turns (colour)..." Also, you can change the graphics to "safe mode" to brighten the scene, allowing you to see her colour clearly. Using the wrong type of attack incurs splash damage.

*By default, her first form is always white. The cycle of the colour changes of the Dagannoth mother seems to be totally random.
*She can detect prayer and will automatically switch to an attack type different to your protection prayer. By default, she ranges at a distance and melees up close. She can hit up to 160 with melee and accurate, double-120s with ranged, so [[Protect from Missiles]]/[[Deflect Missiles]] is recommended.
*If you stop attacking her at any point or take too long to finish her off, there is a possibility that she will disappear and you will have to start the fight again.
*If a player has reasonable [[defence]], they could consider using attack-boosting prayers instead, because the Dagannoth mother has a rather poor accuracy.
*If you plan on only using 1 attack type, you can safespot until the mother changes to the colour you want. For her to change colour, you have to move to a spot where she can attack you, although you can quickly go back to the safespot to prevent damage. This is one of the easiest methods of defeating her, using little food and minimal ammunition.

'''Get ready to face the mother!'''

===The Horror===
[[File:Jossik_(Injured).png|thumb|Jossik, injured in the dungeon below the lighthouse.]]
Once you are ready, walk through the unlocked wall and down the ladder. You find Jossik alive, but hurt and resting against the dungeon wall. He tells you that his search for his lost uncle, Silas, had bought him past the secret door, but he was attacked by a monster who was able to trap him there.

As he is talking, he announces that the monster is coming back. A cutscene plays where a dagannoth appears from the water. The monster can be fairly easily disposed; put on protect from melee and range or melee it, as you need to save your runes for its mother.

After you defeat it, try to help Jossik up to the surface, but he tells you that ''that'' wasn't the monster that had attacked him. A cutscene will show the Dagannoth mother emerging into the cavern, and engaging you immediately into battle.

===The God Books===
After you defeat the Dagannoth mother, Congratulations. You have survived the Horror from the Deep!...once.

As a reward from the Dagannoth mother, you obtain a [[rusty casket]]. Go to the first floor of the lighthouse and show it to Jossik. If you had a full inventory when defeating the Dagannoth mother, you will not receive a rusty casket. Instead, you must talk to Jossik, who will have picked it up for you.

You may now choose a book affiliated with the three gods: a [[Holy book]] ([[Saradomin]]), an [[Unholy book]] ([[Zamorak]]), or a [[Book of Balance]] ([[Guthix]]). A Holy book gives +8 to all defensive equipment stats, an Unholy book gives +8 to all offensive equipment stats, and a Book of Balance gives +4 to both.

==Reward==
[[File:Horror from the Deep Reward.png|centre]]

*2 [[quest point]]s
*4,662 {{Skill clickpic|Magic}} Experience
*4,662 {{Skill clickpic|Strength}} Experience
*4,662 {{Skill clickpic|Ranged}} Experience
*2 extra spins on the [[Squeal of Fortune]]
*A [[God book]] of your choice
*Access to the lighthouse general store and the Dagannoth caves underneath (There are level 74 and 92 Dagannoths. The level 74's use a ranged attack that has terrible aim, and the level 92's use their much more effective melee attack)

==Music unlocked==
*[[Out of the Deep]]
*[[Lighthouse (music track)|Lighthouse]]

==Required for completing==
Completion of Horror from the Deep is required for the following:
*[[Blood Runs Deep]]
*[[Recipe for Disaster/Defeating the Culinaromancer]]

==Trivia==
*The quest was originally named ''Lighthouse Quest''.
*Upon the completion of this quest, one's [[Adventurer's Log]] will read: "A foul and horrible creature dwelt below the lighthouse. I have slain it, but the lighthouse keeper, Silas, remains missing."
*The [[Manual|lighthouse user's manual]] mentions a service centre advertised in the [[Newspaper|Varrock Herald]]. However, there is no such advertisement in the Herald.
*It is impossible to obtain a book of Armadyl, Bandos, or Zaros as a reward for the quest. You can only choose to buy those books after you obtain and complete the three books of Guthix, Saradomin and Zamorak.
* The name of one of the unlocked music tracks, out of the deep, may be a reference to "Out of the Blue" by Debbie Gibson, a popular late 1980's teen pop star.
* The name of the quest may be a reference to the X-Com game "Terror from the Deep".
