About this quest
Starting out: Talk to Sylas in Taverley, just south of the house portal.
There is no written introduction to this one yet. The walkthrough, requirements, items and rewards below are complete.
Walkthrough
01Sylas's two items
- 1
Sylas is the old man with the walking stick in Taverley, south of the house portal. He wants a griffin feather and a dwarf's helmet for his magic beans.
- Leather gloves
02Grimgnash's bedtime story
- 1
Take the easternmost path up White Wolf Mountain, through the two white lines and up to Grimgnash.
- 2
He wants a story with death, fire and destruction, and will eat you otherwise. Pick the most violent option every time.
- 3
Start with telling him he is a great and mighty griffin, then the graveyard opening, and keep choosing whichever line sounds worst.
03Rupert's helmet
- 1
Rupert's tower is between Goblin Village and Ice Mountain — Mind Altar teleport and run south.
- 2
The princess blocks the door, so go round the back and climb the crumbling east wall, which needs 58 Thieving.
- 3
Talk into the drain pipe to reach Rupert, then talk again to work out how to get up.
- 4
In the witch's basement, wear leather gloves before touching the gate.
Without gloves the gate shocks you for 17 damage. Gloves come from repeatedly searching the boxes near the piano.
- 5
Search the music stand for sheets, read them, and play that tune on the piano.
04The mouse hole
- 1
Level 95 mice attack continuously, so Protect from Melee is worth keeping up throughout.
Do not enter the north-eastern grate. It ejects you and costs you another shrinking potion to get back in.
- 2
Navigate by the nail walls, which show as wooden ladders on the minimap. Run north past the first mouse and climb the nails on the eastern wall, then round the bend to the next set.
05Glod
- 1
Plant the beans in the prepared mound south-east of Taverley near the tree patch, using a dibber and watering can from the nearby leprechaun.
- 2
Climb the beanstalk with 59 Agility and Protect from Melee active. No follower can come, even in your inventory.
- 3
Glod starts at level 118 and becomes 138 shortly after. He hits very hard in melee, so Ranged or Magic is far safer.
Keep a second shrinking potion in the bank or your inventory for after the fight — you need one to chop the beanstalk down at 71 Woodcutting.
- 4
He drops the golden goblin plus gems and bones. Take it to Sylas, then shrink and chop the beanstalk for your reward.
