Starting out
- 01
Speak to Denulth directly South of the Burthorpe Teleport. Dialogue: How goes your fight with the trolls? → Is there anything I can do to help? → I'll get Godric back!
- 02
Follow the path to the stronghold. You can buy the climbing boots along the way from Tenzing. (Note: If you have completed The Easy Combat Achievements you can skip this section, including the fight with Dad, by teleporting with Ghommal's hilt 1)
- 03
Enter the arena and attempt to kill Dad. The fight will end before Dad is killed (can be safespotted from the gate; magic or a halberd are good choices due to his high range defence).
- 04
After nearly killing Dad exit the arena through the north gate.

- 06
Enter the stronghold through the cave entrance.
Stronghold Dungeon

- 02
Follow the green path to jail.
