Getting Started

Head to Sylas who can be found south of the Taverly House Portal, and speak to him. He will tell you that you need Beans, however to get them you will need to get 2 items for him, the first being a Griffin Feather.



The Griffin Feather can be obtained from the Griffin that is found in its nest on White Wolf Mountain. See map below for location of nest and how to get there from Sylas.


Talk to the Griffin and it will say that it is hungry and wants to eat your legs. When there is a multiple-choice option, choose that "I heard you were a great and mighty Griffin!" and you can go straight onto the story, otherwise you will get hit 10-20 damage and have to start talking to him again.



If you chose the wrong option, talk to him again and he will say that he wants a bed time story told to him with lots of death, fire and destruction.



You will start telling a story, and at 6 points will have to choose an option to make Grimgnash like it. If you choose the wrong option you will get hit similar to when you first talked to him (if you chose the wrong option). The correct options have a box around them in the below image.


If you get anything wrong, you won't have to start all over again, but just carry on from the point that you last got something correct.

Once you have finished the story he will fall asleep and you can take the Griffin Feather beside him.


Take this Feather back to Sylas and he will tell you about the other item he wants you to get.


There will then be a number of options, and he will tell you that his prized possession is a horn-less Unicorn! More talking will reveal the location of Rupert, the owner of the Helmet, to be south of the Mind Altar, east of Goblin Village and west of Ice Mountain.


Teleporting to Falador would slightly speed up your journey, otherwise a basic walk will do the job.


Once you are there climb over the crumbling wall found between the 2 Bushes on the east side of the tower. Now that you are over, speak into the Drain Pipe.


You will find that Rupert is at the top of the tower, and you will offer to help him. Unfortunately you are overheard by Miazrqua, princess of Asgarnia.


Head back over the wall, head north of the tower and talk to Miazrqua - somebody who is holding Rupert prisoner! Once you have talked to her, head back to the Drain Pipe, and speak into it again, saying "I could try and climb up." and "Is there anything up there that can help?" when there are multiple choice options.

Rupert will release his Beard and you should climb up it.


Talk to Rupert who will explain his situation and tell you to speak to Miazrqua. Head back down the Beard, over the Wall, and talk to her, even if the introduction isn't wonderful.


She will explain her problem, and tell you that her 2nd cousin twice removed is the Witch encountered during the Witch's House Quest. When she was visiting her cousin's house, she dropped her Pendant and a mouse took it. More talking will get her to give you the Key to enter the house.

Head to the long house in Taverly used during the Witch's House Quest, bringing 2 Water Filled Vials and 2 Tarromin with you to save time later. Another helpful thing to bring is a teleport of some kind to save you having to walk through a maze again in the opposite direction.


Head down the ladder in the northern part of the house and search the Crates, Boxes and Stacks until you find a pair of Leather Gloves.

Equip the Gloves, go through the Gate, and search the Music Stand to find a Music Sheet.

Read the Music Sheet, and remember the order of the notes. Writing them down on a piece of paper is one way to do this, while taking a screenshot is another.


Head back through the Gate and choose to play the Piano, playing the notes that are on the Music Sheet in the order they are in on the sheet.


Once you have played the notes correctly, a compartment on the Piano will open that you can search to find a Shrinking Recipe, To-do List and 2 Shrunk Ogleroot.

Reading the Shrinking Recipe will come up with the recipe that you need.


Add the Tarromins to the Vials of Water to get 2 Unfinished Potions.



Add the Ogleroots to get 2 Shrink-me-quick Potions.

If you accidentally drink, or lose, either of these Potions, you can get more Ogleroots by killing the level 109 Experiment No.2s which are found below the manhole outside the Witch's House. They will drop Ogleroots as well as Unidentified Herbs - several Herbs at a time.
