Talk to Manni the Reveller while in the longhall. Dialogue: Yes

Take the keg of beer and challenge Manni to a drinking contest. You will lose. Dialogue: Yes

To get a lyre, either make it yourself (Requires 25 Fletching 40 Woodcutting 40 Crafting and 6 free inventory spaces) or kill Lanzig (1/17 drop rate). Killing lanzig takes longer on average. You must enchant it either way.

Option 1: Making the lyre yourself (Items required: Axe of any kind, knife)

Walk to the Swaying tree that is east of the entrance to Rellekka (north-west of the Golden Apple Tree at AJR) at the rare trees icon. Chop a branch and fletch an unstrung lyre.

Talk to Lalli to the south-east of the Swaying tree, ask about the other human. Dialogue: Other human?

Talk to Askeladden just outside the longhall entrance to get a pet rock.

Pick a cabbage, potato, and onion from the farming patch in the south-east corner of Rellekka.

Return to Lalli, and offer the pet rock.

Use the cabbage, potato, onion, and pet rock on Lalli's Stew (cauldron).

Talk to Lalli again to get the golden fleece.

Spin the golden fleece on a spinning wheel and use it on the unstrung lyre. (See the next section to spin the wool)

Option 2: Killing Lanzig (takes a long time with bad luck)

Lanzig lives in a hut just east of the entrance to the longhall. Kill Lanzig until he drops the lyre (1/17 drop rate). Safespottable at the firepit or outside his door.

Teleport to Camelot or walk to Seers' Village.

If you are making the lyre yourself:

Spin the golden fleece into a ball of golden wool while in Seers' Village (upstairs in a house south-west of the bank).

Use the golden wool on your unstrung lyre.

Go to the Seers' Village pub and talk to the Poison Salesman to buy a low alcohol keg for 250 coins. Dialogue: Talk about the Fremennik Trials → Yes

Buy a regular beer if you forgot to take a beer tankard. Dialogue: Beer please.

Use a Rellekka house teleport to return, or simply walk back. If walking, left-click on your talisman to check if The Draugen is nearby on your way. If so, kill him.

Use the beer, or beer tankard, on the council workman by the bridge south of Rellekka to obtain strange object.

Go north across the bridge, then walk a bit west until you see a small narrow path heading south into the water. (The large rib cage sticking out of the water on the left side of the bridge)

Use your raw shark/manta ray/sea turtle on the strange altar to enchant your lyre.

Follow your talisman by left-clicking on it and kill The Draugen now if you haven't already. Appears as a grey butterfly before locating the correct tile.

Once done, head back into Rellekka and talk to Sigli at the entrance.

Head to the outside of the longhall to the pipe on the eastern wall. Use a tinderbox on your strange object and use the lit strange object on the pipe.

Enter the north-eastern back door of the longhall, walk onto the stage, and play your enchanted lyre.

Exit the back door, enter the main long hall, and take a keg of beer off the table.

Use your low alcohol keg on the keg of beer.

Sigmund

Go to a bank (The Seers' Village bank is close) and deposit all of your items (you cannot have any weapons, armour, or runes).

Bring equipment for the fight:

A dramen branch (Note: Requires 31 Crafting and must have started Lost City), celastrus bark (requires 40 Fletching), or a goblin paint cannon

A knife (optional - only bring if you are not using a goblin paint cannon)

A stat boosting amulet

A Combat bracelet

Plenty of food, potions, and rings of recoil

Talk to Thorvald just north of the longhall. Dialogue: Yes

Climb down the ladder. If you have a knife and dramen branch, cut it into a staff and equip it. You can also use celastrus bark to fletch a battlestaff.

Fight the first 3 forms of Koschei the Deathless without weapons, armour, or runes. (You can pray flick him for the first 3 forms. Dying in the room is safe, even for regular Hardcore Ironmen). Do not go up the ladder after completing the 3rd form - it is safe to die from the 4th form.

You can choose to let the 4th form kill you (this is safe for Group Hardcore Ironmen as Koschei will not actually finish you in this form; the player will faint and wake up upstairs rather than being killed), or you can kill it (slower and is not necessary).

Talk to Thorvald again.

Talk to Peer the Seer south-west of the market. Dialogue: Yes → Yes

He will deposit all your items except anything that is unbankable. (you cannot progress through this part of the quest if anything in your inventory is unbankable).

Open the door to his house, south-west of the market (with a green bed), and read the riddle.

Each line of the riddle gives you one letter of a four-letter word. See the table below for the first riddle line and the related answer.

Open the door again and climb-up the ladder.
