[edit] Walkthrough
After starting, go to Tenzing the sherpa's house (He sells climbing boots for 12 coins each if you don't have them.) and climb over the stile to begin the journey up the mountain. Follow the path until you see some rocks to the north. Put your boots on and climb over them. Then go east and enter the arena.
This is where players meet a huge troll called Dad. He will tell that nobody goes past without defeating him. He is level 101 and uses a giant log to hit with melee. He can hit over 25 and send players flying, stunning them temporarily. Prayer can be used here, but it may be best if you save it for the level 113 later on, unless you have a prayer potion. When Dad is on low hitpoints, he will ask you to spare his life. You cannot attack him from here on, but he may try to hit you still. After this players will be able to pass through the exit.
Enter the cave and go past the level 69 and 71 Mountain trolls. Soon you'll be at a spiral mountain. Level 68 Thrower trolls will range players here as they walk past. Don't climb the mountain, but make your way south west to reach a plateau full of Mountain Trolls similar to Death Plateau. There's a sleeping troll called Mushroom, as well as a huge fortress, Troll Stronghold, which players must enter.
Inside is some more Mountain trolls (levels 69 and 71). From the entrance, walk south until you see a door on the west wall. Enter and go north to find Troll Generals (level 113). They wield huge granite knives and mauls, with which they can hit up to 42, though are very inaccurate. This is where Protect from Melee Prayer should be used, because they only use melee. Kill one to get a prison key.
Once you have the key, go out the door and go to the north end of the stronghold. Climb the stairs, enter the locked door with prison key and climb down again to reach jail. You'll see two sleeping prison guards called Twig and Berry. Both are level 71. If you have level 30 thieving, pickpocket both to get cell key 1 and cell key 2. If not, kill them for the keys. Free both Eadgar and Godric, then exit the prison by going south to the secret exit.
Head south and climb over the rocks, then return to Burthorpe and talk to Dunstan in the north east part of city for your reward.

[edit] Trivia
- Previously, the reward for completing this quest was a law talisman, and this quest was required in order to craft law runes. Jagex decided that this wasn't a good-enough reward for completing a fairly hard quest, so they replaced the talisman with two experience lamps, and made the talisman tradable and available as monster drops.
In-game reminder to collect experience lamps from Dunstan.
- If you have completed Troll Stronghold before the update, and log in, the game box will say "Why not stop by Dunstan's house in Burthorpe? The smithy has a special reward for you."
