Troll Stronghold

01Dad

A gateway quest for the God Wars Dungeon and much of the north. Almost every fight in it can be safespotted, which is how most accounts get through it early.

1. 1

   Buy climbing boots from Tenzing for 12 coins if you do not have a pair, then fight Dad in the arena.

   • Climbing boots
2. 2

   Dad is level 101, hits up to 27 and can stun you. Safespot him from beside the western gate or from the audience area using Magic — his Ranged and Magic Defence are high, so Magic is the faster of the two.

3. 3

   When he is nearly dead he asks to be spared. Spare him.

02Crossing Trollheim

1. 1

   Enter the cave north of the arena and pass the level 69 and 71 mountain trolls to reach Trollheim.

2. 2

   Level 68 thrower trolls range you along the northern side. The rock shortcuts from east to west avoid them entirely but need 41 to 47 Agility.

   Below 44 Agility you have to run the northern bend. Turn on Protect from Missiles before you do or you will arrive with very little health.

03The prison key

1. 1

   Inside, walk south to the door on the west wall, go through and head north past Kob.

2. 2

   Kill a level 113 troll general for the prison key. They hit up to 38, so use Protect from Melee or safespot them.

3. 3

   The southernmost general is the easiest — stand on either side of the desk in his room, or lure him into the corridor from beside the ladder.

04Prison break

1. 1

   Go back south, down the stairs into Burntmeat's Kitchen, then to the far north of the stronghold. Unlock the door with the prison key and climb down to the jail.

2. 2

   Head west and south to Berry and Twig, both level 71 and asleep. With 30 Thieving you can pickpocket both for the cell keys.

   A failed pickpocket wakes them and they attack. You can safespot them both from inside a vacant cell.

3. 3

   Free Eadgar and Godric, climb over the rocks to the south-east, and talk to Dunstan in the north-east corner of Burthorpe for your reward.
