  1. Make your way to Taverly, and speak with Sylas, who is just South of the House Portal. He offers to give you some magic beans - but in exchange you will need to get him a Griffin Feather and a Dwarven Helmet.
    Meeting Sylas
  2. Head up to the North of White Wolf Mountain and talk to Grimgnash. Tell him that you heard he was a great and powerful Griffin. He will ask you to tell him a bedtime story - he can't sleep with the wolves bothering him.
    Grimgnash the Griffin

    Choose the following answers:
    There was once a graveyard filled with undead.
    There lived a skeleton named Skullrot.
    Skullrot was insane!
    Skullrot hungrily grabbed the gnome's hair.
    Started to strangle the poor gnome.
    He saw a big axe leaning on the wall.
  3. Once you have chosen the correct options, Grimgnash will fall asleep. Quickly grab a feather from the nearby pile of feathers, and head back to Sylas.
    Sleeping Griffin
  4. Once you have given Sylas the feather, he will tell you that you still need to get him the Dwarven Helmet. Head North-East, to the section of land just East of Dorics House. Here you will find the tower. Climb over the wall, and speak into the Drain Pipe.
    Talking into the Drainpipe
  5. It will turn out that Rupert the Beard is stuck up in the tower, and needs your help. But before he tells you what he needs, Miazrqa - who is keeping Rupert the Beard prisoner - will hear something and you will finish the conversation quickly.
  6. Speak into the Drain Pipe once again, and suggest that you could try and climb up. After that, ask if there is anything up there that could help. Then it hits you - you could climb up his beard.
    Rapunzel, Beard Style
  7. Once he has dropped his beard down, climb up it and speak to Rupert. He will tell you that the Princess keeping him captive, Miazrqa, has an evil second cousin twice removed that is a witch, and that his gnome friend named Winkin disappeared after he was last seen talking to a witch. Because Miazrqa was related to the witch, Rupert the Beard asked her for some information, but Miazrqa invited him up into the tower, and then locked him in here. It turns out that she also stole his armour.
    Speaking with Rupert the Beard
  8. Climb back down the beard, and head to the North side of the Tower to speak to Miazrqa. When prompted, choose the option, Second cousin, twice removed. Miazrqa will then tell you about the witch's passion - her piano. You ask her if there is anything that you could do to get her to let Rupert go. She explains that she dropped her favourite pendant the other day at the witch's house, and as soon as it dropped a mouse scampered out and took it. You need to get it back for her.
    Speaking with Miazrqa
  9. Head to the Witch's house in Taverly, and unlock the door by getting the key underneath the potted plant next to the door. Climb down the stairs into the basement. Make sure you are wearing non-metal gloves, and then go through the gate. Search the Music Stand to get the Music Sheet.
    Searching the Music Stand
  10. Go to the piano in the other section of the basement, and play the notes from the Music Sheet on the Piano.
    The notes are Upper E, upper F, upper E, upper D, upper C, lower A, lower E, lower G, lower A.
  11. Once you have played the correct notes, a compartment will open in the Piano. Search the Piano and you will find a To-do list, a Shrinking Recipe and some Shrunk Ogleroot. Read the Shrinking Recipe, and then make two Shrinking Potions by adding two Tarromin and two Shrunk Ogleroot into two vials of water.
    Making the Shrink-me-quick Potions
  12. Make your way back upstairs, and head to the Southern section of the house where the Mouse hole is. Drink one of the Shrink-me-quick potions anywhere in the room and you will go through the Mouse hole.
    The Mousehole
  13. Once inside, run past the Mouse and climb up the Nails to the North. Then, head South, then West, and climb up the Nails. Climb up the Nails on the South wall, then head North-East around the bend and climb down the Nails. Climb up the Nails to the North, and then take the Pendant from the North of the room. Once you have the Pendant, make your way back to Miazrqa by either teleporting out, or going back the way you came.
    Inside the Mousehole
    Miazrqa's Pendant
  14. Give the Pendant back to Miazrqa, who will thank you and let Rupert free. Rupert will then hand you his Helmet.
    Rupert Thanking You
  15. Get out good Armour, Weapons, Food and Prayer Potions if you need them, and head back to Sylas. He will give you the beans in exchange for the Helmet, and tell you that if you plant the beans in the Magic Bean patch just South-East of here, it will grow into a massive plant, which at the top is a Golden Goblin.
    Planting Magic Beans
  16. Head South-East near the clothesline, to the Magic Bean patch. Plant the beans and water them, and a giant Beanstalk will grow. Once you are ready, climb the Beanstalk.
    The Beanstalk
    You will need to defeat Glod, a level 138 Giant, who hits quite hard and randomly drains and turns off prayer. He hits with both range and melee.
    Defeating Glod
  17. Once you have defeated Glod, pick up the Golden Goblin, and take the Uncut Ruby, Sapphire and two Big Bones if you wish. Climb back down the Beanstalk and return to Sylas, who will take the Golden Goblin, and tell you to cut down the Beanstalk.
    Sylas Takes the Golden Goblin
  18. Head back to the Beanstalk and use your second Shrink-me-quick potion on it, then chop it down with any axe.
    Timber!
  19. Make your way back to Sylas to claim your reward!
