Walkthrough

Before you begin, it's worthwhile to know a few things beforehand: the final boss is a relatively simple fight in which you are given more than enough supplies to defeat, including two prayer potions, and several strength potions. You will likely only use one prayer potion killing the 10 trolls before the fight. It is recommended you bring and have a Neitiznot shield equipped before you begin and at all times to lower the max hit of Ranged trolls from 6 to 2, as repairing one of the bridges can be dangerous, and running to the eastern side of the northern-most island can be fatal without this. The quest is also relatively short if you gather all the items beforehand, and you'll likely only need 5-6 good food prior to the boss.

Area overview

The Fremennik Isles are a collection of islands interconnected by bridges. The map below shows the islands and their interconnections. There are two major villages on the islands: Neitiznot and Jatizso.

The teleport locations show the landing docks that can be reached from the most northern dock in Rellekka using the appropriate ferry operator.

The numbers on the map represent the following locations relevant during the quest:

Quest map

1. The court of King Gjuki Sorvott IV.
2. The court of King Mawnis Burowgar.
3. A bridge that needs repairs.
4. Another bridge that needs repairs.
5. Entrance to the Ice Troll Caves for the final battle.

Do not go to the northern islands without food, or you may die.

Both villages have a bank that can be used.

At any time during the quest, it is possible to travel around all islands.

Note: If you are simply starting this quest for access to Neitiznot bring a raw tuna and 8 tin ores if Mining level 1, 7 pieces of coal if mining level 2-54, 6 mithril ores if 55+ and speak to King Gjuki Sorvott IV.

King Gjuki Sorvott IV

Items needed: raw tuna, ores as above, catspeak amulet if you wish to hear what the cat is saying.

King Sorvott's court

To start the quest, talk to Mord Gunnars at the most northern dock in Rellekka to be taken to Jatizso.

Talk to King Gjuki Sorvott IV in the checkered floor room. His cat will intervene. The king asks you to get the cat a raw tuna.

Note: You can either fish the raw tuna on the south pier or buy it from Flosi Dalksson in the north-eastern house.

Give the tuna to the king's cat, and talk to the king.

Give the king the ores you are assigned (8 tin if 1, 7 pieces of coal if 2-54, 6 mithril if 55+). If needed, these ores can be mined at the cave below the village. It is accessible by exiting the west gate and going north-east. Enter the dungeon, and mine the ores. Coal can also be bought from Hring Hring. The king's reward for the ores consists of some coins.

Take all 4 pieces of Jester clothes from the chest behind the king's throne.

Travel back to Rellekka by talking to Mord Gunners on the dock to the south, and then travel to Neitiznot by talking to Mord's wife, Maria, who stands next to where you land.

Burgher Mawnis Burowgar

Items needed: Silly jester costume

The player entertaining the Burgher.

Put on all four pieces of the jester costume, unequip anything in your weapon and shield slots and talk to Slug Hemligssen, behind the bank, and say, "Free stuff please."

• If you have a follower out while attempting to do the Jester's Performance, you will be prompted to put your cat away regardless of the pet you have out

Talk to Mawnis Burowgar in the building just south of the bank while wearing the jester costume and entertain him—do everything he says using the jester control panel shown in the picture. Keep an eye on the guards exchange:

When do we assault the caves?
In two days.
Good. How many recruits are ready?
Seventeen so far.
More shields are completed by noon.
And the armour?
I will finish their armour by tomorrow.
And the two bridges we need repaired.
I will fix them as soon as I can.

Back to Slug, and answer his questions. The answers are:

1. 2 days
2. 17 militia
3. 2 bridges

Head back to Mawnis Burowgar, without the jester costume this time.

Bridge repairs

Items needed: 8 ropes (can be obtained during this part), an axe, 8 arctic pine logs or 8 split logs (can be obtained during this part), a knife.
Items recommended: armour and food.

Bring Mawnis Burowgar eight ropes. If you are missing ropes, go kill some yaks and take the hair drop to the spinning wheel in the village. You will keep the ropes and receive 1,000 coins.

He will then ask you to get eight split logs. If you have 56 Woodcutting, go and cut eight arctic pine logs and split them on the woodcutting stump in the middle of the village. (If you do not have the Woodcutting level, you may buy the split logs from other players and still continue with the quest.) Bring them to Mawnis and receive another 1,500 coins.

Speak to the guard Thakkrad Sigmundson, and you will be able to repair the bridges.

Be warned; you may be attacked by high-level, hard-hitting trolls in the next step. Bring food/armour if necessary.

Repairing the bridge.

Get a knife, eight split logs, and eight ropes from the bank (or buy the knife from the general supply NPC in the bank). Travel over the first set of bridges to get to the broken ones further north to repair the bridges (right-click). You will have to travel past trolls to get there, some of which can use Ranged. Each bridge only needs one repair, and level 20 Construction.

Note: If you wish to be safe, turn on Protect from Missiles before repairing the eastern bridge. Prayers cannot be activated during the repair. All damage dealt to you will be applied at once after repairing the bridge, and can easily kill you at lower levels.

Go back to talk to the king (Mawnis Burowgar) again; he'll pay another 1,500 coins for repairing the bridges. Now, the request is to investigate the troll caves, but first, you need to make sure that the other king does not take the raid on the trolls in the wrong way.

Tax collector

Items needed: 5,000 coins (recommended)

Use the boat to go back to Rellekka, and use Mord's ferry service to return to King Gjuki Sorvott IV on Jatizso.

King Gjuki Sorvott IV requires a tax collector for his new window tax, which needs to pay for the expenses of the army.

Collect taxes from the following people:

1. Hring Hring or Raum Urda-Stein at the armourer's hut (8,000 coins)
2. Skuli Myrka at the weaponsmith hut (6,000 coins)
3. Flosi Dalksson or Keepa Kettilon at the fish shop/general store (5,000 coins)
4. Vanligga Gastfrihet at the eating hall (5,000 coins) (Offer to pay her taxes for her; this provides the capability to trade in black market yak goods after the quest.)

Note: You can speak to Magnus Gram (banker) about taxes, in which he'll politely make you change your mind about taxing him.

Go back to King Sorvott, who now requires a tax collector for the newly invented "facial hair tax."

Now, collect from:

1. Raum Urda-Stein (armour trader)
2. Hring Hring (ore trader, in the same building as Raum)
3. Skuli Myrka (weapon trader at the anvil north of Raum)
4. Flosi Dalksson (raw fish seller in the general store)
5. Keepa Kettilon (cooked fish seller in the general store)

Note: You can speak to Eric, who has no money and will throw a cabbage at you.

The tax bag now contains 29,000 coins. The same taxpayer options apply as in the previous tax collection round. Return to the king.

The taxes are finally enough. Now, the king requires more spying assistance. So, it's time to return to Slug the spymaster in Neitiznot.

Note: If you do not have a Neitiznot shield already and don't have a bronze nail in your bank, buy one copper and one tin ore from Hring Hring to make a bronze bar at the clay forge in Neitiznot (or use Superheat Item). When returning to Jatizso later in quest, use the anvil to make some bronze nails.

The jester part 2

Items needed: Silly jester costume

Return to Slug once more, only to get an assignment as jester again.

A rough capture of the guards exchange:

What do you think of the new Burgher's Champion?
[He/She] seems honourable and courageous to me.
What about their collaboration with King Sorvott?
Well, I trust Mord Gunnars and he works for the King.
And the Champion was helping you to repair the bridges.
Well yes. So are your militia ready?
I have them anchored near Etceteria.
Then I shall sail our potions to them tonight.
So are we ready to sail at dawn?
Absolutely, long live Burgher Burowgar.
And may the Troll general be short lived.

Now, return to Slug and bring out a report. The answers are:

1. Etceteria
2. Some potions
3. I have been helping

Slug is pleased with the answers and pays another 2,500 coins. Then, he suggests to visit King Gjuki Sorvott IV and give an update on the spying progress.

Traditional Fremennik rites

Items needed: A set of yak-hide armour OR 3 yak-hides (can be obtained on Neitiznot), 15 coins, a needle and two thread. You will also need a Neitiznot shield OR 2 arctic pine logs, one bronze nail, a hammer, and a rope.

	The Fremennik Kings
The music which plays when the player berates King Gjuki Sorvott IV.
File:The Fremennik Kings.ogg

King Gjuki Sorvott IV gets an update that he is not prepared for, but he won't listen to sound advice.

Note: You will need 1 free slot to receive the decree, in order to continue the quest, in this next dialogue with the king.

He will give you a Royal decree that you need to deliver to Mawnis Burowgar.

Note: You will need to remove the Jester outfit to get the correct quest dialogue from Mawnis Burowgar.

Hop islands again to talk to Mawnis, who is obviously disappointed in learning the decree from King Sorvott. As leader of his troops, go through the ancient Neitiznot warrior rites.

Note: You can skip the making of the shield and armour by having all three items in your inventory and continuing to speak to the king.

First, Thakkrad Sigmundson will tell you to make yak-hide armour. Get three yak-hides, and have them cured by Thakkrad for a fee of 5 coins per hide. Take a needle and thread from bank or the nearby shop, and craft the cured yak-hides into a yak-hide body (2 hides) and into yak-hide chaps (1 hide). Thakkrad states that the armour is ideal for protection from the trolls' granite clubs, however the armour does not have any such effect.

Talk to King Burowgar again to learn how to make a large Fremennik round shield, the Neitiznot shield. This shield is ideal for protection from stones that are thrown by the trolls, reducing their max hit from 6 to 2.

Making the shield requires two arctic pine logs, one bronze nail, a hammer, and a rope. Make the shield on the Woodcutting stump located east of bank. Make sure to have a hammer in the inventory.

Note: The shield is called Neitiznot shield on the woodcutting stump.

Note: If you do not have 56 Woodcutting to make this shield, you may buy the shield off other players, and it will still allow you to continue the quest.

Return to King Burowgar one more time, and he will make you the champion of Neitiznot and give you the assignment to kill the Ice Troll King and deliver his head.

The troll king

Items needed: A Neitiznot shield, food, and armour.
Items recommended: A means to teleport out of the cave after killing the Troll King.

This fight takes place in an instance.

On death, all unprotected items will be moved to a grave outside the instance. Any items left on the ground will be lost.

Note: The Troll King can only be killed effectively with Melee; do not use Ranged or Magic.

Note: Do not use Protect from Melee against the troll king; he will use a strong knockback so long as you have it activated, rendering you unable to attack him and taking heavy damage.

Go to the bank to stock up for battle. Take a melee weapon and armour, the Neitiznot shield, and plenty of good food. Prayer potions should not be required as you will be able to obtain some for free in the cave. An emergency teleport and a ring of life are also useful.

When ready, equip the Neitiznot shield and cross the eastern rope bridge, run north-east and cross the next rope bridge, then due north until you reach the sea, then straight east to the north-eastern cave. There is an unmarked dead-end entrance half way, do not try to go in, keep going.)

There are no trolls in the area directly outside the cave, so you can use this opportunity to rest and heal up.

	King of the Trolls
The music which plays upon entering the Ice Troll Caves.
File:King of the Trolls.ogg

After entering the cave, a cutscene follows. You will have to kill 10 frenzied ice trolls (of any kind) in a somewhat chaotic multicombat area, with help from the Fremennik Honour guards, before you can cross the bridge to the south to assault the Ice Troll King, which you fight one-on-one. The frenzied ice troll females (the ones with blonde hair) use ranged attacks that hit fast and accurately, but the Neitiznot shield reduces their max hit to only 2. The troll males, grunts and runts use Melee and have max hits of 17, 21 and 15 respectively.

Fighting the ice trolls alongside the honour guard.

First, talk to Bork Sigmundson near the cave entrance - he will give you nine to ten tunas, two to four 4-dose strength potions, and two to four 3-dose prayer potions a single time each upon request. If there is not enough inventory space, then the player gets enough to fill their inventory and does not get any more. Players can make only one request for each supply. A good strategy would be to fight trolls until you've mostly used up your own food, then talk to Bork to resupply with tuna.

Fighting the Ice Troll King.

It is strongly recommended to position yourself at the edges of the battle, since going into the densest concentration of trolls can result in the player being attacked by 5 or more trolls at once and becoming overwhelmed. The safest strategy would be to use Protect from Melee whenever attacked by melee trolls as these do the greatest damage, and pick off trolls one by one. You can also target trolls that have been reduced to low health by the Fremenniks. If you don't have access to Protect from Melee, try to exclusively fight female trolls and avoid the males. Keep an eye on the trolls around you at all times so you don't get surrounded.

Once 10 trolls have been killed a message will appear in the chatbox stating that the bridge to the Ice Troll King can be used. Leaving the cave will not revoke your access to the Ice Troll King, so restock on supplies if you need to.

When crossing the bridge, a short cut scene shows the Troll King moving towards you. He will land the first strike, so turn on the Protect from Magic prayer (not Protect from Melee) before crossing bridge or while the cut scene is playing, and top up prayer if needed.

The Troll King has a Combat level of 122 and uses a powerful mix of attacks (Melee, Ranged, Magic and teleport); turn on Protect from Magic and you won't get hit much. Using a Neitiznot shield as well will leave melee as his only effective attack, decreasing damage significantly. Do not use Protect from Melee against the troll king for he will use a strong knockback attack for as long as you have it activated, making you unable to attack him. Bring high healing food and a few doses of prayer potion. It is possible to kill him with Ranged or Magic, however it will be slow, only do this if you cannot use Melee effectively.

Neitiznot's champion claims the troll's head as proof of victory.

After killing the Troll King, decapitate the head from the body. (You do not need any particular weapon/knife for this step, you simply pull it off). If you die with the troll king head in your inventory, you do not need to kill the king again; just return to the spot to find the troll king with a new head for you to take.

Do not take the east bridge after defeating the Troll King if you are low level. It is full of powerful trolls with no Fremennik NPCs to soak up hits.

Teleport away, or return the way you came. Return to Neitiznot to talk to Burowgar. He will give his helm of neitiznot in return for the Troll King's head. After taking two choices for a 10,000 experience reward to any one of Attack, Strength, Defence, or Hitpoints (you may choose the same skill twice), the quest is complete.

Trivia

• If you attempt to tax the tramp Eric, he will throw a cabbage at you. The cabbage is added to your inventory.
• The taxes that King Gjuki Sorvott IV imposes are based on some real historical taxes.
  • The window tax was also a British glass tax during 1696-1851.
  • The beard tax of 1698 is the best known of a series of measures enacted by Tsar Peter the Great to transform and regulate the appearance of his subjects.
• The exchange with Slug regarding your codename is a reference to the film Reservoir Dogs.
• The choice of password to give to Slug, Colorless green ideas sleep furiously, is a reference to a sentence devised by linguist Noam Chomsky.
  • The password "free stuff please" used to talk with Slug Hemligssen is a phrase commonly used by players who beg for items.
• The watchtowers between the two islands have a special cutscene when spoken to, in which they are yelling insults to each other which are quotes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, such as "Your mother was a hamster. ... And your father smelled of elderberries."
  • Same insult was also used in Eagles' Peak quest.
• If a catspeak amulet is worn, or the player has completed Dragon Slayer II, the player is able to understand what HRH Hrafn is saying during an early cutscene.
• If you already have enough ores in your bank when tasked with acquiring them early in the quest, you will have a unique exchange with Thorkel Silkbeard.
• Speaking to Mawnis Burowgar with at least 8 ropes in your inventory, before he tells you that you need to get ropes to repair the bridges will result in a humorous conversation in which he accuses you of being a witch while you defend that you are a ropes salesperson.
• When the quest was first released, one of the NPCs used the word damn, which was originally a censored word when used by players. It was later changed to blasted.
• The names of the two villages sound similar to "yeah, it is so," and "no, it is not," which reflects their history of disagreement.
• If the player tries to tax the banker teller, the bank teller will tell the player that he will start taxing him/her 10gp per transaction, plus back taxes. They come to an agreement not to tax him and the bank teller states he won't implement his taxes.
• If you tell Mord Gunnars in the beginning of the quest that you're "too busy to help the king", he actually says "bye" in-game (overhead).
• During the quest, King Gjuki Sorvott IV claims that Mawnis Burowgar is only attacking the trolls so that he can take the glory for killing the Troll King, and says that he will send his troops to the northwestern cave to beat him to it. However, the Neitiznot militia is attacking the northeastern cave. If the player goes to the northwestern cave during the quest, they will get the message "Just inside the cave mouth lays the body of one of Jatizso's guards. Maybe I should enter the caves to the east, so I can find Neitiznot's militia."
