DescriptionMy Arm, the troll from My Arm's Big Adventure, must embark on another journey of discovery. This time, you'll be escorting him to Weiss, a newly discovered troll town in the far north of the world, so he can share his wisdom *cough* with the inhabitants, in exchange for learning about their inventions. Life's journeys can take us to some strange places, but My Arm is about to face the greatest adventure of all - true love. Plus, they'd like him to kill the Wise Old Man of Draynor Village, which doesn't sound like a clever move. Can you help My Arm get a grip on the situation and woo the fair Snowflake over the objections of her father, Mother? Or will My Arm be left to a loveless life of loneliness?

Walkthrough

Starting out

Items required: None.
Items recommended: Weight-reducing clothing and stamina potions, a teleport to Rellekka, Draynor Village, Dramen or Lunar staff, food for next part unless banking.

  • Talk to Burntmeat located in the Troll Stronghold kitchen (stairs to the south after entering).(Chat 2•2), or (Chat 1•1•2) if boosts are being used.
  • Talk to My Arm located by the herb patch on the roof of the Troll Stronghold (ladder up to the west or Agility shortcut.(Chat 2•2)
  • Talk to Larry (Fairy ring code DKS then run to the transportation symbol on the coast to the north, east of Rellekka)(Chat 2•1), or (Chat 3•2) if you no longer have the clockwork book
  • Talk to Larry again.(Chat 2), or (Chat 3) if you no longer have the clockwork book
  • Board the boat.

Troll Diplomacy

Items required: Any pickaxe and rope (both obtainable during this part), Mining and Agility level boost (if necessary).
Items recommended: Weight-reducing clothing and stamina potions, a teleport to Draynor Village (at least 2 teleport uses, such as an amulet of glory(2) ), food for failing obstacles.

Safe spot halfway through the thrower troll section.

If you did not bring a rope, search the wrecked boat for one. Take a pickaxe too as you'll need it later.

  • Attempt to mine the cave entrance (do not use your boost yet if you brought one)
  • Climb up the rockslides nearby (boosting to 68 Agility if necessary), and use a rope on the tree.
  • Climb the rope and cross the ledge.
  • Climb the last rockslide and pass the fallen tree.
  • Talk to Boulder. (Chat 2•3)
  • Sneak in via the broken fence just east. Prepare to run past a lot of angry trolls.
  • Go south along the city's edge, then west. Once you reach a small alleyway to the north (see image), recover your run energy if necessary.
  • Run to the bucket spawn and stand there for a moment.
  • Click on the 'little boulder' just north of you, and right before reaching it, click on the hole all the way to the north to climb down.
  • Once descended, quickly go south and pass through the narrow gap. DO NOT climb up the ramp.
    • This acts as a checkpoint once knocked out upon re-entering the gap in the fence.
    • Note: If you stop moving before the checkpoint, the trolls will catch you and you will spawn outside of the city.
  • Empty your hands and swim further into the cave while avoiding the first set of trolls' stones.
  • For the second set of trolls, the final troll will throw rocks, creating stepping stones. When the troll begins throwing, move one tile forward, making a path of 5 stones to the edge of the water. Click one tile toward the cave exit as soon as the throwing animation starts until the path is finished.
    • If you fail, you will be sent back to just before the second set of trolls.
    • The rocks don't need to be in a straight line, they only need to go out 5 spaces and be adjacent to each other so that My Arm can cross.
  • Mine the cave exit (boosting to 72 Mining if necessary).
  • Talk to Mother.(Chat 3)
  • After Snowflake leaves, pick all possible options.(Chat 1•1•1•1)
  • Talk to My Arm.(Chat 1•1•2•4•2)

The Wise "Dead" Man

  • Talk to the Wise Old Man in Draynor Village.(Chat 1•2•2)
  • Build the coffin next to the Wise Old Man.
  • Speak to the Apothecary in Varrock.
    • Chat options depend on the quests the player has completed. Pick "Talk about Making Friends with My Arm."
  • Talk to the Wise Old Man back in Draynor Village.(Chat 1)
  • Take the Old man's coffin.

Matricide

Items required: Combat equipment (preferably Ranged), food and potions as they can hit through Prayer, Old man's coffin

This fight takes place in an instance.
On death, all unprotected items will be moved to a grave outside the instance. Any items left on the ground will be lost.
  • Return to Weiss by travelling with Larry's boat.
  • Go through the cave entrance.
  • Talk to My Arm by the north entrance.
  • Talk to Odd Mushroom.(Chat 1)
  • Talk to Snowflake.(Chat 1)
  • Fight Don't Know What. Use Protect from Missiles and damage him with melee or Ranged.
  • Fight Mother. Activate Protect from Missiles. Grab a bucket from the pile and use it on the large barrel of water. Then use the bucket of water on the Fire of Domination to extinguish it, which then makes your attacks effective. Mother will stun the player and drain some Prayer points if able to get into melee range, therefore it's preferred to fight back with Ranged while running from Mother. He can also be safespotted by trapping him east of the staircase and standing immediately south of the stairs in the western-most square.

A New Leader

Items required: Bucket

  • Talk to My Arm.
  • Talk to the Wise Old Man, and then Snowflake.(Chat 1)
  • Pick up goat poo in the north-east building to get goat dung. (Buckets of water can be found in the building and emptied)
  • Talk to Snowflake.
  • Read the Weiss fire notes Snowflake gives you.
  • Talk to Snowflake.
  • Congratulations, quest complete!
