Walkthrough

Getting started

Items required: Teleportation methods to Tree Gnome Stronghold and Yanille (optional but recommended).

• Speak to King Shareen in the Grand Tree. ( 1•2)…

  1	You seem worried, what's up?
  2	I'd be happy to help!

  Accept the quest to get a Translation book and a Bark sample.
• Travel to the island east of Yanille - fairy ring code: CLS. You may also use the minigame teleport for Nightmare Zone or the Fishing Trawler, a Watchtower/Yanille teleport, the Ardougne cloak Monastery teleport and run south-east, the Castle Wars teleport using a ring of dueling then running east, or a charter ship to Port Khazard.
• Talk to Hazelmere, he will take your Bark sample and give you a message.

Glough

• Return to King Shareen. He will ask what the message says. Tell him: ( 1•5•5•2•1•4)…

  1	I think so!
  5	None of the above.
  5	None of the above.
  2	A man came to me with the King's seal.
  1	I gave the man Daconia rocks.
  4	And Daconia rocks will kill the tree!

• Head south. At the bottom of the ramp, go up the ladder to speak with Glough.

Investigation

Items required: 1000 coins (if you haven't helped Femi), teleport out of Karamja(optional but recommended).

• Return to King Shareen, and he will tell you that Glough has caught a human. Ask to see the prisoner.
• Talk to the prisoner Charlie on the top floor of the grand tree. Make sure to finish the entire conversation!
• Go to Glough's house. Search the cupboard, and you will find his journal.
• Talk to Glough and wait to be arrested.
• Talk to Charlie, he will tell you about the Shipyard on Karamja, the password is Ka-Lu-Min.
• The king appears and tell you to escape using the Gnome glider on top of the tree.
• Travel with the glider.

Karamja

• The glider will crash near the Ship Yard. Run east past the level 53 jogres to the Ship Yard gate.
• Open the gate and tell the worker Glough sent you, then give the password Ka-Lu-Min. ( 2•1•2•2)…

  2	Glough sent me.
  1	Ka.
  2	Lu.
  2	Min.

• Find the Foreman on the southern dock. Kill him or talk to him to get a Lumber order.
• If you talk to him, he will ask you some security questions. ( 3•2•1)…

  3	Sadly his wife is no longer with us!
  2	He loves worm holes.
  1	Anita.

• Take the Lumber order to the king. (Teleport into the stronghold or get Femi to sneak you in, costing 1,000 coins if you didn't help her earlier). The king will not believe you when you show him the Lumber order.

Tuzo

Items required: Lumber order.

• Speak to Charlie again on the top floor of the Grand Tree.

Anita's house on the map

• Speak to Anita up the stairs west of the swamp, north-west of the Grand Tree. She will give you a key.
• Go to Glough's house, and use the key to open the chest and take the Invasion plans. (Be sure to complete the dialogue window to receive the plans!)
• Take the invasion plans to the king. He will give you four letters made of sticks (You'll need 4 empty inventory spaces).
• Climb the watchtower in Glough's house. Use the sticks with the four pillars to spell out TUZO. If you are under 25 Agility eat your Summer pie now.
• Bank if needed and prepare for the battle, then go down the trapdoor.

Encountering the Black demon

Items required: Combat equipment and food to last in a fight against a level 172 Black demon.

• After you enter and talk to Glough, a level 172 Black demon will appear and attack you.

The safe spot to use Ranged or Magic where Glough stands.

• Kill the demon, walk along the passage until you find King Shareen standing by a ladder.
• Talk to the king and he will ask you to locate the last Daconia stone.
