Glorious Memories

Party planning
Note: You need to be on the Standard spellbook to complete the quest. The Lunar spellbook and Ancient spellbook will not help.




 * To start the quest, travel to Rellekka and speak to Manni the Reveller, found in the longhall.


 * He buys you a beer and requests that you invite Mawnis Burrowgar of Neitiznot and King Vargas of Miscellania to Chieftain Brundt's surprise birthday feast.


 * Travel to either island, and invite either ruler. (It makes no difference which. You have to speak to only one ruler to progress through this part of the quest).


 * Both are annoyed with the chieftain: King Vargas says he "wouldn't go to his feast, even if I could fit through the doors." Mawnis Burrowgar says he's not going and that "you're entering a world of trouble here." He suggests that you talk to Brundt if you want to know why.

Brundt's story

 * Return to Rellekka, and speak first to Manni and then to the chieftain in the longhall.


 * You find out that the chieftain is angry with them too, and he explains why. In a cutscene, Brundt tells you that 15 years ago, he, Prince Vargas, Young Mawnis, Nial Swiftfling, and Asleif Hamalsdotter the healer (this Asleif is the same woman as from the Mountain Daughter quest) went on an adventure for a tablet but were defeated and somehow found themselves outside the Fishing Guild.


 * They argued among themselves over what happened on their failed adventure and to the tablet. The cutscene then ends.


 * You ask the chieftain if you can help.


 * He says he'll be happy when he knows who took the tablet. He also gives you Cave directions, which will help you find the cave the adventurers were defeated in. The directions have only one sentence that is useful to you, so you need to talk to Vargas and Mawnis to get the other two instructions.

Vargas's story

 * Make your way to Miscellania, and talk to King Vargas.


 * You persuade him to tell you his side of the story, which he does in a cutscene.


 * You see four of the adventurers (Nial Swiftfling is not in the scene) in the bottom of an ice cave, where they encounter a horrifying monster, a Gnoeals. The horned ape-like creature curses the valiant Prince Vargas, who nonetheless defeats it by hitting a 53 and then a 72 with a Dragon longsword (which seems impossible for a player to hit).


 * Following the cutscene, he says he doesn't remember Asleif helping him. (Asleif later in the quest reveals that Vargas only remembers what suits him, so he likely exaggerated and changed details in his version of the story.) Vargas, using the pen you made for him in Throne of Miscellania, writes down what he remembers of the directions to the cave.

Mawnis's story

 * Now, travel to Neitiznot, and speak with Mawnis Burrowgar.


 * He offers to tell you his story.


 * In a cutscene, you see the same ice beast as before, and Nial Swiftling is again part of the adventuring group. The Gnoeals spits green goo at Nial, who take the brunt of the attack. Asleif asks if anyone else is hurt, and Mawnis says a little bit landed on Vargas. Vargas then melodramatically screams "It hurts, it hurt!"


 * Nial transforms into a yeti and kills the Gnoeals but then turns on Brundt. Asleif says Nial is "quite out of his mind," and they all flee from Nial.


 * Following the cutscene, Mawnis says he has barely heard from Brundt since and suggests that Vargas may have forgotten large elements of the story and inflated his own role. He writes for you what he remembers of the directions to the cave.

Tracking the ice creature


Note: Before starting your search, prepare for the battle with the level 156 Nial Swiftfling in his yeti form, which attacks with Melee and Ranged. Also be prepared to fend off yeti and Gnoeals melee and mage attacks. Be sure to bring a pickaxe. To find the cave, you must have a completed list of directions.


 * Follow the instructions on the directions.


 * You find yourself in the Trollweiss Hunter area. Fairy ring code DKS conveniently teleports you south-east of the area.


 * Head to the north-western corner of the hunter area's upper platform, and inspect the tracks of some ape-like creature you find there.


 * Note: If you are unable to see the footprint tracks, try switching to HD.


 * Choose the Inspect Tracks option for each print, and follow the footprints to the ice mound to the east of where you started.


 * Choose the Dig Ice mound option on the mound of ice while carrying a pickaxe to create a cave entrance.


 * Note: You must inspect all of the tracks, or else you won't be shown the dig option.


 * Choose the Climb-down Cave entrance option on the icy passageway.


 * The Hunting expert stops you and warns it's dangerous down there.


 * Once inside the Trollweiss Dungeon, dash to the far southern wall.


 * Yetis and Gnoeals attack you. Low-levelled players may want to turn on Protect from Magic to prevent damage from the Gnoeals. If you want, pick up A scrap of paper just south-west of the stairs to read a note possibly written by Nial Swiftfling.


 * Look for a tunnel to the west along the southern wall, and enter it. The passageway is marked with the red exclamation-mark dungeon icon on the minimap.


 * Upon entering the chamber, you are attacked by Nial Swiftfling's yeti form, which is level 156. Nial attacks with melee and ranged and is reasonably powerful, so bring good food. Nial is also able to knock you back when he roars (like the Giant Roc during My Arm's Big Adventure and the Ice Troll King during Fremennik Isles), and will do so every three to four hits.


 * If you are ranging or maging, you can use a safe spot on the western side of the cave for the fight. From the safe spot, turn on the Protect from Missiles prayer and you will take no damage aside from when Nial roars.


 * Note: If you die while fighting the Nial, a Gravestone does appear. If you kill the yeti and die at the same time, you will have to kill it again to receive the items necessary to finish the quest.


 * When defeated, Nial's drops a Herb pouch, Nial's throwing axe, Unfinished astral rune, Yeti hair, and Big bones (which can be buried).


 * Note: If after you have killed Nial and picked up his items, your quest diary still says "Mawnis has given me his part of the directions to the cave. Once I've investigated there, I need to speak to his sister, Freygerd, in Jatizso," go back in the cave, kill Nial again, and pick up everything he drops. You will get a few of the same items. Now, that passage in your quest diary should be crossed out and you may go talk to Freygerd on Jatizso. When you leave the cave, the tracks will be gone.

Happiness for Mawnis

 * Head to Jatizso, and speak with Freygerd, located on the west side of the island. Tell her you've "put Nial to rest" and she is relieved. She wants to move back to Neitiznot, but King Gjuki Sorvott IV has threatened her with an emigration tax.
 * After having a delightful chat with the king (in the checker-floored building west of the bank), Freygerd doesn't have to pay the tax. After giving her Nial's throwing axe she tells you to go to her brother, Mawnis Burrowgar and tell him the good news. (That she, Freygerd, is moving back to Neitiznot)

Happiness for Vargas


(Optional: Bring the Seal of passage, to save an extra bank trip, after the quest) NOTE: If you have lost your yeti hair, you don't have to kill Nial again; the smaller yetis also drop yeti hair.
 * NOTE- You will need to be using the normal spell book (NOT the lunar or ancient magicks spell book) during this part of the quest.
 * Talk to King Vargas again. After talking about the Herb pouch you will need to give it back to Aslief.
 * Head to Mountain Camp. You will need to take an empty vial, Yeti hair, Herb pouch, Earth (10) and cosmic runes (1), Pestle and mortar and one Clean irit with you. Before proceeding, take a pole and a plank from the Goat's pen in the mountain camp (north east corner) if you haven't already got one from the Mountain Daughter quest alternatively you can use a staff (i.e. Dramen staff or Earth staff).
 * Climb the tall tree (north west of camp), use the pole on rocks, and use a plank on the flat stone to get to middle of the lake. Talk to Asleif by left-clicking on the "shining pool". Asleif reveals that King Vargas' story was all a lie, but only because he is a proud man. He doesn't remember Asleif helping him because he chooses not to.
 * Use your empty vial with the spring next to you and add Clean irit to the vial. Open the Herb pouch and you will get a Diamond root. Grind it with Pestle and Mortar. You will now have Diamond root dust. Enchant it, using level 4 Enchant, with 10 earth runes or wielding an Earth staff and 1 Cosmic rune. Note that you Cannot use an enchant diamond tablet here. Then add the Enchanted diamond root dust to the irit mixture and then add the Yeti hair.
 * Now you have Yeti curse cure.
 * Take it to King Vargas, and he will turn back into a human. He will now agree to attend the feast.

Brundt remembers



 * If you haven't done so already, visit Neitiznot to tell Mawnis of his sister's planned return. (If you skip this step the feast will not start)
 * Finally, travel to Rellekka and talk to Brundt the Chieftain. After showing him the Unfinished astral rune he will remember how they got to the Fishing guild.
 * A cutscene will start adding a new person called "Mysterious Mage" who turns out to be Baba Yaga of the Moon Clan. She teleported them all out of the cave to the Fishing guild, erased their memories and teleported away with the Prophecy Tablet, leaving them to argue amongst themselves where Brundt told the story the first time.
 * Now that you have made everyone happy, they all will attend the feast.

Talk to Manni the Reveller after the cutscene. Quest complete!

Trivia



 * On the day of release, the spoiler read: "The spoilers have been written on some ancient and battered stone tablets, it'll take us at least a day to figure out what they actually say."
 * The word skål that is said in one of the cut scenes is a Norwegian, Swedish and Danish word that refers to cheers in English. This can also refer to a bowl in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.
 * On the day of release, when you click ferry to Neitiznot or Jatizso; you would be ferried there straight away instead of talking to the people.
 * When threatening King Gjuki to release Mawnis' sister without taxes, the player says "Read my lips: no new taxes". This is a direct quote from former U.S. President George H.W. Bush when he spoke about his economic policies in 1988.
 * The end of the message is written in bork, language of the Swedish chef.
 * When studying the display in the museum where the prophecy tablet is, your honorific will be used.
 * During a cutscene, Prince Vargas wields a Dragon longsword like a Dragon 2h sword.
 * During cutscenes, if player tries to talk to one of characters shown on scene, Brundt the Chieftain will stop telling the story and says "Are you listening to me? Don't ask for a story and then interrupt me!"
 * It is possible to make your house appear to have been filled with snow by teleporting to it from the cave that holds Nial Swiftfling. However, when you run to the far edge of the property, you seem to float off the edge. If you run far enough, the cave disappears and your house as it normally is will reappear. This glitch has now been fixed by Jagex.
 * When you talk to King Vargas about his story, he will say "Sure, that pen you made is really handy." This is a reference to Throne of Miscellania when the player makes a giant pen so that Vargas can sign the peace treaty with Etceteria.
 * The king makes the noise of the yeti when turning after being cured
 * People have also glitched the Herb pouch and still been able to keep it after the quest, it is taken up usually during the quest. To glitch it you just need to walk away when King Vargas asks you to give the pouch to him.
 * After completing the quest, you can go back and talk to Brundt and have him repeat the three stories he told during the quest, with exactly the same dialogue and everything as you get when you are watching them for the first time.
 * Kang Admi is one of names for Yeti in Tibetian. The literal translation is Snow Man.
 * After donating the Prophecy Tablet to the Varrock Museum, the last part of the display reads "...the main feature of the fifth is the inscribed name of (your Fremennik name). Who this (your Fremennik name) might be is unknown". If you wear equipment that changes your Fremennik title (such as Fremennik Sea Boots 3 or Skeletal armour), the second time your Fremennik name is mentioned in the display, your title will be shown, thus "magically" changing what the display says according to your equipment. For example, if your Fremennik name is Tallor and you wear the Sea Boots, the display would change instantly and you would read "Who this 'Tallor Far-strider' might be is unknown" instead of just calling you "Tallor".
 * Your character will mention Lunar Island during the final flashback even if you haven't been there before.
 * After seeing the cutscene from Baba Yaga, you may appear outside her house and continue talking to her, even though she is still inside her house and therefore not visible.
