Walkthrough

Starting out

  • Speak to Denulth directly South of the Burthorpe Teleport. (Chat 1•1•1)…
    1How goes your fight with the trolls?
    1Is there anything I can do to help?
    1I'll get Godric back!
  • 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)
  • 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).
  • After nearly killing Dad exit the arena through the north gate.
  • Go through the cave and continue the path to the stronghold; Thrower trolls can be dealt with by:
  • Enter the stronghold through the cave entrance.

Stronghold Dungeon

  • Follow the red path to Troll General. Kill one and loot the prison key. (Can be safespotted with a halberd, magic, or a ranged weapon behind the counter) (Hardcore Ironmen beware! The general is aggressive and his max hit is 38)
  • Follow the green path to jail.
  • Pickpocket (30+ Thieving ) or kill the sleeping Twig and Berry (this can be safespotted through the open cell doors either side of them), free both of the prisoners.
  • Teleport to Burthorpe with the games necklace OR follow them out the secret exit and once outside climb over the south-east rocks.
  • Talk to Dunstan.
  • Congratulations, quest complete!
