Guthix's attention
Edit
To get started, talk to Kaqemeex who is located in the stone circle South of the Heroes' Guild and he will tell the player that he needs help dealing with the trolls by getting Guthix's attention by making an ointment of imbalance. Hopefully, this will help defeat the trolls. Offer to help him with his task and he will tell the player to talk to Sanfew.
Potion ingredients
Edit
Sanfew can be located by following the path south and entering the last house on the West. Talk to him about making an ointment of imbalance for Kaqemeex and he will ask the player to get untainted living water, wandering wyrmwood, and some stone fish scales. He will give you a vial if you haven't got any.

Untainted living water
Edit
The untainted living water must be obtained from a cave to the south inhabited by gelatinous abominations. To get to the cave, head south from Sanfew until you reach a small peninsula on Lake Crystalmere. Enter the cave and go as far south as possible. Note: Ariane is in the way at the entrance, and you should tell her that you're brave and then proceed through the cavern.
When a subterranean spring is seen, click on it with a vial on hand to obtain some living water. Once the water is obtained, exit the cave.
Stone fish scales
Edit
With a Fishing rod and at least one coin (it does not matter if it's in your money pouch), follow the lake south-west until a fishing spot is seen, near a field of grain. Fish at the Sparkling fishing spot and when the stone fish is caught, use a chisel on it to receive some stone scales.
If the player does not have a fishing rod, one can be bought from Nicholas Angle for coins. Nicholas is north-west of Sanfew along the river and marked by a fishing icon on the minimap.
Wandering wyrmwood
Edit
After obtaining the stone scales, head South until the wyrmwoods are seen, north of Nora T. Hagg's house. The wyrmwood will be in the ground, looking like a plant. Wait until it starts to walk around and then quickly pick it to get wandering wyrmwood.

The Ritual
Edit
Once the ingredients are all acquired, return to Sanfew and give them to him. He will use the ingredients to make an Ointment of imbalance that needs to be delivered to Kaqemeex. Give it to Kaqemeex and he will commence the ritual. After some "mad babbling", which Sanfew disapproves, a cloud with lightning will appear, sunshine and the circle will start growing flowers, announcing that the ritual is complete and Guthix will intervene. In about a year.
Congratulations, quest complete!

Trivia
Edit
- When you fish for the stone fish and have coins both in your inventory and in your money pouch, one coin will be taken from inventory, but the chatbox will say 'One coin has been removed from your money pouch.
- As the game always takes place in Year 169 of the 5th age, Guthix will never interfere in the game
- If members had completed the quest prior to the Troll Warzone update, they are able to redo it for the full reward.
- The stone fish's examine text, "I wonder if I can make soup out of it?" may be a reference to the popular American fable, Stone Soup.
