1: Starting out
Items Required: None
Items Suggested: Food and Armour
Speak to Sylas in Taverly about buying his magic beans. Talk to him about both the feather and the helmet. Once you have done this take the eastern most path (it is grassy) on White Wolf Mountain up to Grimgnash the Griffin.



2: Grimgnash the Griffin
Items Required: None
Items Suggested: Food
Tell Grimgnash he is a great and mighty griffin and then he will want to hear a story to put him to sleep and once he is asleep you can take his feather from the pile beside him. Beware: Throughout the story Grimgnash will hit up to 20 on you (averaging 15-20 per hit) if you answer incorrectly. If you stop to eat or tell the story wrong, you can pick up where you left off, you don't have to start over. Grimgnash will want to hear the most gruesome, food-filled story possible. For me the story was:

There once was a graveyard filled with undead
There lived a skeleton name skullrot
Skullrot was insane
Skullrot hungrily grabbed the gnome's hair
Started to strangle the poor gnome
He saw a big axe leaning on the wall
Once you have finished the story take the feather and give it to Sylas in Taverly.


3: Rupert the Dwarf
Items Required: None
Items Suggested: None
Now travel to Rupert's Tower. The tower is located near the Mind Altar (just east of Goblin Village). You will find that the door is locked but that you can climb over the Crumbling wall on the east side of the courtyard. Next, talk into the drain pipe. You will start to talk to Rupert, but the princess will catch you and Rupert will tell you to sneak up to his room. Speak in the pipe again and tell him "I could try and climb up" and then "Is there anything up there that can help." Climb Rupert's beard and then speak to him again. Rupert will tell you to speak to the Princess. Climb down his beard and back out of the tower to speak to her.

4: Witch's House
Items Required: Non-metal gloves (leather gloves), 2 Tarromin, 2 Water filled vials
Items Suggested: Armour, Food, Teleport (Edgeville or Falador preferably)
Speak to the princess about Rupert and tell her "Your second-cousin, twice-removed." She will tell you that she will release Rupert if you get her pendant from the Witch's house in Taverly. Talk to her again to get a key to the house. Walk to the ladder in the north side of the house and go to the basement. While wearing your non-metal gloves go through the gate and search the music stand. Read the sheet music and then go and play it on the piano. Below is a copy of the music.



Once you have played the piano search it and you will get a to-do list, a shrinking potion recipe, and two shrunk ogleroots. Go back up to the ground floor. Use the tarromin with the water filled vials and then add the ogleroots to the unfinished potions. You will now have two shrink-me-quick potions. Walk south into the small room with the mouse hole and drink your shrink-me-quick potion while standing beside the mouse hole. Once you are in the hole you will find yourself being attacked by level 95 Mice. Just follow these directions to get the Pendant:

Climb the nails near the middle of the room, on the eastern wall
Go around the corner to the southwest side of the room, then climb the nails on the northern wall
Go to the south side of the room and climb up the nails
Go to the northeast corner of the room and climb down the nails
Go north then climb up the nails. You will find the pendent in that room
Once you have the Pendant teleport out and return it to the Princess to release Rupert. He will give you his helmet. Take it to Sylas and Sylas will give you the magic bean and tell you to retrieve the golden goblin.



5: The Golden Goblin
Items Required: Armour, Weapon, Food, Seed Dibber, Watering can
Items Suggested:
The farming patch is just east of the herblore store in Taverly. If you need to visit a tool leprechaun you can visit the one by the tree patch just east of the magic bean plot. Plant the bean and water it and it will grow into a beanstalk. Jack anyone?



Climb the beanstalk if you are prepared for a fight. You will have to kill Glod (level 138 ). Glod can hit in the upper teens and low 20s frequently, drains your prayer rapidly, and randomly turns off your prayer. When defeated Glod drops the golden goblin. If you want to know what else he drops look at his entry in the bestiary by clicking here. Return the golden goblin to Syras and he will tell you to chop the beanstalk down to prevent further giants from coming to the ground.



6: The Beanstalk
Items Required: Shrink-me-quick potion, woodcutting axe
Items Suggested:
Run back to the beanstalk and use your shrink-me-quick potion on the beanstalk to get it down to chopable size and then use your woodcutting axe on it to chop it down. Return to Sylas to claim your reward.
