Walkthrough

Go into this door to find King Narnode Shareen.

Starting out

• Speak to King Narnode Shareen who is found in the large tree in the center northern area of the Stronghold
• He will tell you that the tree seems to be dying.
• He will give you a Bark sample and Tree gnome translation book and tell you to visit Hazelmere.

Hazelmere

Hazelmere's Location (though he can sometimes be found outside of his house)

• Hazelmere is located east of Yanille, across a bridge
• (Caution: his island is covered in level 47 jungle spiders)
• Hazelmere's words will not be coherent to the player.
• After translating what he says via the book (this is not actually necessary, as the answers are below), the player will need to repeat the message to the King back at the Stronghold.
• The message from Hazelmere says:

human came with kings seal
gave human daconia rock
daconia rocks will kill tree.

Glough's location(up ladder)

Glough

• The king will tell you to speak to Glough, the chief guardian. He is found up a ladder a tad west of the stronghold spirit tree (not the grand tree).
• Glough will blame humans for the problems with the tree.
• Return to the King at the base of the Grand tree.
• A human has been caught with the daconia rock and you must interrogate him.
• Charlie, located at the top of the Grand Tree (use the below map if you need help finding the ladders for getting to the top) tells you that Glough paid him to carry the letter to Hazelmere and transfer the rocks.

• WARNING: Before going back to Glough's home, prepare to be teleported to the middle of the potentially dangerous Karamja jungle. Bring a cure poison potion or poison antidote to protect against Tribesmen if your combat level is below level-79.
• Now return to Gloughs home. Search the cupboard and the player will find Gloughs journal.
• Speak to Glough and you will be put in Cage.
• The king will free you and offer his glider service for you to escape, as Glough has placed guards in the tree to prevent you from leaving.
• Activate the Glider at the top of the tree, just south of Charlie
• During your flight the glider will crash

  

  Shipyard is East from Crash Site

Ship Yard

• Head East of the crash site to the ship yard.
  • You are now on Karamja island
• Enter the shipyard, the password is ka-lu-min.
• Talk to the Shipyard foreman on the docks.
• The Shipyard foreman will question you about Glough, the answers are:

"his wife is no longer with us"
"He loves worm holes"
"Anita"

*Alternatively, you can answer incorrectly and kill the foreman to obtain the invoice.

Returning to the Grand Tree

Femi's cart

• Go back to the Tree Gnome Stronghold and you won't be able to enter the gate.
• Speak to Femi to the left of the gate in order to sneak in. Alternatively, you can just teleport inside using the Tree Gnome Village spirit tree if you have completed that quest.
• Return to the king and he will not believe you.
• Speak to Charlie in the jail at the top of the tree.
• He will tell you to speak to Anita who is found in the most eastern tree house in the north west corner of the Stronghold.
• Speak to her to obtain Glough's key.
• Go to Glough's house and use the key on the chest to get another tree gnome translation book, and glough's notes.
• Take the items to the king.

Pebbles

Use pebbles on the stone stand

• The king will still not trust your "proof" and will give you four Pebbles found in Glough's possession.
• Take these stones to the Watch tower above Glough's house and use the stones on the stand.
• The order from left to right is "ho-ni-:::-ha" which spells open.
• Before continuing: PREPARE TO FIGHT A POWERFUL BLACK DEMON!

Black Demon

Fighting the demon

• After preparing for the fight, return to the Watch tower above Glough's house, and press down the Stone stand and select the climb option to go underground.
• Glough will now summon a black demon to attack you, kill the demon before its timeout (250 seconds or 4:10 min) expires
• After the demon is killed, find the King in the tunnel
  • (Note: You will only be able to talk to the king in the tunnel, back in the tree he will not speak to you)

Daconia Rock

• After some conversation, you will be prompted to look for the daconia rock, it is located by searching the roots south-west of the king.
• Return to the king with the stone
• Congratulations, quest complete!

Trivia

• While there is a warrant out for your arrest you cannot leave via the Gnome stronghold gate. However, if you leave through any other method you can simply walk through the gates, entering into the stronghold without any difficulty. At least, till you get the Invoice from the Shipyard foreman.
• After players get the Invoice they are stopped from entering the Gnome stronghold gate. However, they may freely leave through them.
• Players gain 7.5 Agility experience and 0.16% fatigue every time they climb up Glough's Watch tower.
