A brief summary of the quest, noting where each card is used. The OSRS Wiki has the full, authoritative walkthrough.

  1. 1

    Speak to Sanfew on the top floor of the Taverley herb shop. He tasks you with learning the secret of goutweed from the trolls and sends you to Eadgar atop Trollheim.

  2. 2

    Travel to the Troll Stronghold via a mountain route, wearing climbing boots (buy from Tenzing for 12 coins if needed), and speak to Burntmeat, who wants a human to cook.

    • Climbing boots (or 12 coins)
  3. 3

    Reach Eadgar at the top of Trollheim. He sends you to fetch a parrot from Ardougne Zoo.

  4. 4

    At the zoo, use pineapple chunks on vodka to make alco-chunks, use them on the aviary hatch to get a drunk parrot, and bring it back to Eadgar.

    • Pineapple chunks
    • Vodka
  5. 5

    Make a troll truth potion: pick a troll thistle near Eadgar's hill, light a fire with logs, and grind the thistle with a pestle and mortar into a ranarr potion (unf). Follow Eadgar's cooking scheme with grain and raw chicken to build the fake man.

    • Logs
