Now you have to get to the Chaos altar. There are 5 ways to get there. All require a chaos talisman or tiara.
Option 1: (Recommended, 42 Mining required)
Leave Varrock via the eastern gates and then follow the path north until you reach the statue of Saradomin. Talk to Anna Jones and she will give you a Bronze pickaxe. Excavate the statue to reveal a tunnel. Enter the tunnel and then head north until you reach a portal, leading to the second level of the Chaos Maze. Once inside of the maze, climb down one of the two ladders to the Northwest, then proceed to the chaos altar.

Option 2: (Long and partially Safe)
Head to the Chaos Temple entrance in the Wilderness. Once inside, make your way through the maze to Chaos Altar. This can take some time as the maze can get frustrating and the walk through the wilderness can also be dangerous. Refer to the Chaos Altar Map for help.
Option 3: (Mage of Zamorak mini-quest required)
Go to Edgeville and from there northeast to the Mage of Zamorak. Have him teleport you to the Abyss, then make your way through the rift to the Chaos entrance. Enter it and you will be placed directly in front of the Chaos Altar, so you do not have to go through the maze. Here is a map of the Abyss.
Option 4: (50 Runecrafting required)
Use a Chaos altar teleport to teleport you close to the Chaos Temple entrance in the Wilderness. Once inside, make your way through the maze to Chaos Altar. This can take some time as the maze can get frustrating and the walk through the Wilderness can also be dangerous. Refer to the Chaos Altar Map for help.
Option 5:
Use a Wicked hood with a consumed Chaos talisman can be used to safely teleport to the Chaos Altar.
-
Use your wand on the altar, and it will start to glow. Leave the maze for Varrock and take this Infused wand back to Surok Magis. He will ask you to take Surok's letter to Rat Burgiss.

-
Visit the Staff shop, and Zaff will explain his plan to you. He will give you a Beacon ring and instructions on how to arrest Surok Magis. Get yourself ready for a fight.
