1 How goes your fight with the trolls?
1 Is there anything I can do to help?
1 I'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:
- Sprinting past them.
- Protecting from Missiles against them.
- Taking agility shortcuts around them.
Enter the stronghold through the cave entrance.

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+ ) 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!
