Falo the Bard is a Fremennik bard, whom players must visit if their master clue scroll directs them to him. Players must start The Fremennik Trials in order to speak to him. The fastest way to him is by using the Music cape or via fairy ring code CJR, walking south and then west across the bridge north of Seers' Village.

He will sing a ballad, of which players must find the item he is singing about. Players need to show him the item in order to progress to the next clue, the items cannot be noted.

He is the brother of Olaf the Bard, whose name is "Falo" backwards.

Trivia

• Upon release of Fossil Island, a new song was added, with the lyrics being Not a dragon and gained from its death, it's used to protect from their icy breath. The answer to the riddle was the ancient wyvern shield. Due to player complaints, it was replaced with a different song whose lyrics lead to the answer numulite.
