OSRS TCG Between a Rock... — Old School RuneScape quest card mapping

Start: talk to Dondakan the Dwarf.

Hidden away from the fearsome trolls and the roaming Fremennik, the dwarves delve deep beneath the mountains in search for the ore they need to support their home of Keldagrim. One dwarf in particular, however, has for years been trying to crack open a rock that seems to be impervious to any material that he's tried on it. Convinced that solving the riddle of the rock will lead him to unimaginable wealth, he has spent the later part of his life on just this lump of stone. Help him out, but take care you don't end up in a tight spot!

Between a Rock... is a members Old School RuneScape quest rated Experienced. The OSRS TCG Between a Rock... card list covers 5 of the items and monsters involved, including Arzinian Being of Bordanzan, Gold bar and Double ammo mould. This page pairs the quest with those cards and with the open player trades for them; the OSRS Wiki remains the authority on requirements and the walkthrough itself.
