The Path of Glouphrie
King Bolren has a new pet. Unfortunately, it's another watcher, like the ones unmasked in the Tree Gnome Stronghold during The Eyes of Glouphrie. Has Glouphrie been watching the Tree Gnome Village, too? If you investigate further you'll find out more about Glouphrie, the history of the gnomes (and their unusual monarchy) and maybe you'll get within a hair's breadth of the lost city of Arposandra...

- 04
Make your way to the Galarpos Mountains just east of the Poison Waste. The quickest way to travel there is by using the fairy ring code BKP and then running north-west. Alternatively, teleporting to Castle Wars via ring of dueling, then heading south-west alongside the river is also fairly quick.

- 12
Enter the east room and kill the three blue Warped Terrorbirds.
- ↳
The Terrorbirds can attack with both Ranged and Melee and will swap to whichever combat style the player is not currently praying against. It is possible to use the pillars in the room as safespots. If fighting in melee range, it is recommended to use Protect from Melee as their melee max hit is much higher than their ranged max hit.
- 13
Finish the final dialogue with Hazelmere to complete the quest.
