Head to the little tower a between Ice Mountain and the Goblin Village. Climb over its eastern crumbling wall and then talk into the drain pipe to learn that Rupert the Beard has been imprisoned at the top of the tower by princess Miazrqa.

Return to Miazrqa and give her her Pendant. She will then free Rupert the Beard, who on his turn will give you his Helmet. Now, take both Rupert's helmet and the Griffin feather to Sylas. In exchange, he will give you some Magic beans, which you must plant. Plant the beans in the magic bean patch, next to Sylas, and water them. A beanstalk will grow.

Prepare yourself for combat and climb up the beanstalk. Now, you will have to kill Glod (level 68). Beware, he can drain your prayer, turn off your prayers at will, and he can heal himself to up to half of his health. If you wish to attack him using Ranged or Magic, then hide behind the pillars and rocks. However, when fighting behind a safe spot, he will taunt you into leaving your spot and fighting him face to face. Turn on protect from melee when he does.
Note: Pets and familiars are not allowed up the beanstalk, whether they are following you or in your inventory.

Once Glod has been killed, pick up the Golden goblin and return to Sylas. He will then tell you to cut down the beanstalk. Use the last Shrink-me-quick potion on it and then cut it down.
Note: If you lost the potion, then you will have to gather each of the ingredients again. To obtain a new Shrunk ogleroot, climb down the manhole near the witch's house and kill one of the Experiments (level 64).
