1: Starting out
Items for this part: Climbing boots or 12gp, some (low) food (optional), prayer points (optional).

To start off, go to the Troll Stronghold, it's located north of Burthorpe. You will need some climbing boots which you can buy from Tenzing for 12gp. (You used these during the Death Plateau quest.) Tenzing is located on the southwest end of the Troll Mountains. Now you have to get inside the Troll stronghold to talk to Ug.

Troll Stronghold map

Get inside the Troll Stronghold and head towards Ug. Exact directions depend on which entrance you used to enter the stronghold, but he is located in the southwest corner of the second floor (a room northwest of the cooks). Talk to Ug, who is crying in a corner, about Aga.

Head north to the end of the next room where you will find Aga. Ask her about her love life. Then continue about "Trollweiss". Now talk to Ug about the flower, he will tell you only someone who has lived in the mountains all his life knows how to get Trollweiss.


2: Tenzing

Go back all the way through the mountains to Tenzing (or use a Games necklace to teleport to the games room and walk from there.) Tenzing is the Sherpa who sells the climbing boots. Ask him about the Trollweiss flower. He will tell you it's impossible to get, but keep talking about wanting to find it. He will finally tell you that it is in an area that's been snowed off and Ice trolls and other beasts are around there. He'll say you can use a sled to get down there but doesn't know how you can get out. He will tell you to go see Dunstan for more technical information about the sled (could use Games necklace teleport if desired).


3: Dunstan
Dunstan can be found in north Burthorpe, in the building with an anvil symbol. Ask him about the sled. Tell him that yes, you are too old for one by pressing "yes". He will then ask why you need one and you will explain the situation to him. After this he will tell you the items he wants you to bring so he can build one for you. He works on the design in the meantime.


4: Building the sled
Items for this part: Maple or yew log, iron bar, rope

You will need a maple or yew log, an iron bar and some rope for him to build a sled. Talk to him with these items in your inventory and he will build it. He will then say it needs some "smoothing over" and suggests you use some swamp tar and wax and gives you information about these items.

Items for this part: Cake tin (respawns in the Cooking guild, insect repellent (respawns in Catherby), swamp tar (respawns in the swamp south of Lumbridge).

Go to the Catherby beehives. You will find a bucket respawn, pick one up. First use the insect repellant on the Beehive. Then, use the bucket on the beehive. You will get a bucket of wax. Now use the swamp tar on the bucket while having a cake tin with you. You will get some wax. Use the wax on the sled and you're ready to go.



5: Getting the Trollweiss
Items for this part: Teleport ring/amulet/runes (optional)

There is a route north of Trollheim. It could be useful to teleport there because it's quite close and you won't have to pass the stone throwers again. See our world map for directions if you like. Follow the path to a closed ice-gate. West of here is a cave, go through it, but be warned there are a lot of level 120 trolls, which are aggressive. Follow the dungeon towards the north west until you find a "crevasse" in a little corner, enter this and you will be on a great ice plateau called the Trollweiss mountain. Ride your sled here (you can move around like you're walking).

Head south past some wolves until you find a "slope". Go for the first option "slide slope". You will get a small animated movie showing you sliding down the slope. Eventually you will stop sliding and be able to "walk" again. Go west to an enclosed area shaped like a "C" and pick some rare flowers. You only need one for the quest but you can pick some more.



Now you can do two things. Either teleport out, or slide down the next slope located to the south where you will come to a tunnel entrance. This is the same dungeon as the "Between a Rock..." dungeon and you can exit west (you'll be northeast of Rellekka).

Go back to Ug and give him the flower by talking to him. He tells you he is afraid of giving it to Aga because of Arrg. You will need to defeat Arrg.


6: Defeating Arrg
The most difficult part of the quest. It is a good idea to switch on your protection prayer before talking to Arrg. You get teleported to the arena (where you had to fight Dad) and he can hit you as soon as you get there.

First talk to him. Tell him you came to kill him. You will be taken outside (can't fight in front of a lady) and will need to kill him here. Be warned, he uses both melee as well as missile attacks (throwing rocks). If you don't want to get hit, you will have to switch between melee protection and missile protection prayer fast. Do make sure you keep an eye on your hit points because he might hit you anyway. After you beat him, just go back to Ug to finish the quest.

Tips, tricks & notes:

It is an advantage to have a Games necklace to help you through your journeys while doing this quest. It teleports to you to the Burthorpe games room where you can take two ladders up and be in Burthorpe for easy access to many of the quest locations.
Have the world map and the Troll stronghold map open in the background so you can check them while questing, they are very useful.
If taking a friend along to cheer you on while fighting Arrg, they should wait in the arena for you to appear for the fight.
Access to the Rogues' Den bank (Emerald Benedict) in the Burthorpe pub basement is very handy.
