Skills: 25 agility and be able to kill a black demon level 172. You can do this at any level but I advise you to wait until your magic or fighting or both skill(s) are above 40.

Items: 30 gold (for ship from Karamja to Ardougne), 1k gp - optional (if you help Femi with her crates the first time you enter the stronghold this is not necessary, if you didn't help her then pay up meany), 2 Water and Laws (only if you are able to teleport to Ardougne)

Hazelmere

1. Talk to King Narnode Shareen on the ground floor of the Grand Tree. He will give you some tree bark and a tree gnome translation (book).

2. Go east of Yanille and on to the green spiders' island. Walk across the bridges and you'll end up on the largest of the 2 islands there, go to the house and up the ladder. Talk to the gnome Hazelmere, he'll just say "blah, blah, blah", use the book to translate, and you will find out that he said A man came to me with the king's seal, I gave the man Daconia Rocks, and Daconia Rocks will kill the tree. Now go all the way back to the Gnome Stronghold.

King Narnode Shareen

3. Talk to him. Choose the option "None of these" until you see the first part of the translation, click it, do the same with the second and third sentences. The King then asks/tells you to go speak to Glough. He is south-east of the Grand Tree, go up the ladders around there until you find him.

Glough

4. Talk to Glough, he'll basically tell you off, so just talk to him and go back to the King. Talk to the King, and then go up to the top level of the Grand Tree, and talk with Charlie there, before going back to Glough's House.

Glough again

5. Go to Glough's tree house again and search the cupboard there to get his diary. Then speak to him and he will call his guards to lock you up in jail, but don't worry, the King will come and rescue you. After your chat with the King, talk to Charlie. He tells you about the shipyard in Brimhaven.

6. Now talk to the Gnome pilot, and choose to fly to Karamja. You crash land in the Karamja Jungle. Be prepared to run, as there are Jogres (level 53) and Jungle spiders (level 42) here. From the crash site go south-east until you reach a gate. Attempt to open the gate and the guard stops you and asks what you're doing. Tell him that Glough has sent you and then give him the password, "Ka-Lu-Min." Find the foreman and talk with him.

Foreman

7. He will ask you to go to his office, once you're there answer his questions. (Answers: Glough's wife is no longer with us, his favourite food is Wormhole, and his girlfriend's name is Anita.) It doesn't matter if you answer the questions right, if you don't you'll just have to fight him. After you've talked with him, go back to the Gnome Stronghold.

Femi

8. Once you reach the gate of the stronghold try to walk through it. The guards won't let you. There's a Gnome named "Femi" with a cart. Talk to her and she'll let you hide in her cart (if you helped her when she asked you the first time you entered the stronghold she will help you for free, otherwise it will cost you 1k gp). You don't have to do this every time. You can also get in the stronghold with the spirit trees if you have completed the Tree Gnome Village-quest. Once inside the Stronghold just go to the King and talk to him.

King

9. The King tells you to leave because everyone is paranoid, don't. Climb the ladders to the top and talk to Charlie again. He'll tell you about a chest in Glough's house. But in order to get the key you need to go to Glough's girlfriend's house, where he left the key. She lives west of the Swamp, the second stairs west.

Anita

10. Speak to Anita and she gives you the key for the chest. Go to Glough's house again and open chest. Then go back and talk to the King. The king will tell you that he had guards search the house and found nothing suspicious except some twigs. The king gives them to you (keep these twigs as you will need them).

11. Get ready for your fight with the demon. You can either use armour and weapons, or magic. Remember to have 4 slots open for the twigs.

9: Four Twigs

12. Now go back to Glough's House. Once you are inside the house walk to the eastern end of the platform and climb the tree which leads to the second level of the house. You will see four low pillars. Use the twigs on the Pillars in this order;
T = First on the left.
U = Second from the left.
Z = Third from the left.
O = Most right one.

13. Now just open the trap door and climb down. Glough will walk to you and talk a bit, then he'll call forth his demon. You must fight and kill the demon! Mages, Rangers and halberd wielders can use a location in the corner, between the Daconia rocks, to attack the demon so that he won't be able to attack you back.

King Narnode Shareen

14. Once you have killed the demon, walk through the cave until you see the King and then talk to him. He'll tell you to search the roots for the Daconia stone, once you've found it, talk with him again.
