Walkthrough
Have everything you need for the quest on you, it's possible to finish without banking.
Speak to Sanfew at Taverley to start the quest (He is inside a house with a herb icon, upstairs). Ask about reclaiming a circle.
Sanfew wants Goutweed; Mad Eadgar at Trollheim may know how to get some.
The guide has two routes to Trollheim, A or B.
Use the maps above to reach Trollheim quickly. Eadgar's cave is in the center of the spiraling mountain.
If you didn't free Eadgar during Troll Stronghold, you'll have to free him by visiting the prison in Trollheim's Troll Stronghold instead of heading straight to Eadgar's cave.
Once freed, Eadgar will be at his cave.
Getting There
Route A: Fairy Ring to Trollheim
One of the quickest ways to Trollheim is by teleporting there via a fairy ring using code a j r, then running north-east following the cyan route. You could also run to this fairy ring, which is just outside of the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon pretty quickly by using an Enchanted lyre as well. Running north-east there are some climbable rocks which lead to a secret entrance into the troll stronghold to the north of the rocks.
Inside, you should be in a large prison room. Run north and climb the stairs to the 2nd floor, then take the next set of stairs you'll see past the prison door to the 3rd floor. On the 3rd floor, run south past some Trolls to the exit.
You'll see a sleeping Mushroom at the bottom of the path outside if you've left the stronghold correctly with plenty of level 69 nice Trolls. Use Protect from Melee here if they seem scary.
Out of the stronghold, among the level 69 Trolls, continue to follow the cyan route on the map above until you reach the red or green routes. There are some rock throwing Trolls to the north of the spiraling mountaint that will absolutely wreck you if you don't have Protect from Missiles on. Take the shortcuts, the climbable rocks, if you have the agility, and head to the peak of Trollheim mountain to reach Eadgar's Cave.
Route B: No Fairy Ring to Trollheim
The other way to get into Trollheim is to take the normal route there that was detailed back in Troll Stronghold. Look at the red route in the map above. At some points there will be level 69/71 Trolls that you may wish to Protect from Melee against. There are some Troll rockthrowers to the far north of the spiraling mountain that will likely wreck you unless you protect from Missiles. Make your way up the sprialing mountain, taking any of the agility shortcuts, the climbable rocks, that you can until your reach Eadgar's Cave at the peak.
The sign outside reads Welcome to Mad Eadgar's! If I'm not in, I've probably been captured again.
Goutweed, Eadgar, and a Cook
Speak to Eadgar inside the cave and ask about Goutweed, he'll direct you to speak to a cook instead.
Leave the cave and head west towards the stronghold, you may want to turn on Protect from Melee here, past the level 69 trolls up a path. Inside, head south towards a set of stairs and go down. You are now in a room with My Arm and 4 cooks. Speak to the cook Burntmeat.
Burntmeat will help you get Goutweed in exchange for a human, return to Eadgar for help.
Tastes like Chicken
Eadgar needs a parrot for whatever reason, so head to Ardougne zoo and speak to Parroty Pete there. Ask him the two questions to learn that they get drunk off vodka and love pineapple chunks.
Be careful to not drink the vodka and to not eat the pineapple chunks.
Combine your vodka and pineapple chunks to create Alco-chunks and use the chunks on the Aviary Hatch to catch a Drunk parrot.
With the parrot, return to Eadgar. Eadgar plans to have the parrot taste, look, talk, and smell like a human and details how to do it all.
Tastes like Human
Head back into the Stronghold and descend to the prison area. There is a Rack located north of the cells, use the parrot on the Rack to hide it there. You will return to this later.
Smells like Human
Head to Taverley and speak to Tegid on the south-east shore washing clothes. Talk to him, and say that Sanfew won't be happy if he doesn't help you. You now have dirty clothes.
Looks like Human
Gather 10 grain, 3 logs, a tinderbox, 5 raw chicken, a pestle and mortar, and an unfinished ranarr potion if you don't already have them.
With all of the items, head back to Eadgar who will take most of the items from you to continue.
Troll thistle and the Troll potion
Eadgar wants you to create a truth potion, and a key ingredient is a Troll thistle.
Step outside of the cave and look for some green grass on the summit, the troll thistle spawns near a random patch of grass. It may take a while for it to actually spawn but keep scanning the grass patches with your cursor until you see a extra option for a Troll thistle.
Once you have the Troll thistle, use it on a fire to make Dried thistle.
Use a pestle and mortar on your Dried thistle to make Ground thistle.
Use your Ground thistle on an Unfinished Ranarr potion to make a Troll potion.
Return to Eadgar to hand him the potion, go grab the parrot under the rack in the Stronghold's prison, then return to Eadgar again.
Eadgar will hand you a Fake man in return for the parrot.
Goutweed and the Storeroom
Return to Burntmeat the Troll cook and hand him the Fake man, you'll receive burnt meat in exchange. Ask about the Goutweed to learn that it is stored in a storeroom, and the key is under the Kitchen drawers.
Search the Kitchen drawers by My Arm to receive the Storeroom key. Head down the stone staircase north of the Kitchen drawers, then follow the corridor to the Storeroom door. Open it to enter the storeroom.
There are many Trolls on patrol in the storeroom. Follow the map above to enter safe spots, taking the paths 1 to 2 to 3.
You have to quickly move when on the third path, the right-most safe spot is not entirely safe.
Study the pathing of the Trolls a bit to decide when to move, the trolls have a routine.
If you are caught, you are ejected just out of the storeroom and may take minor damage.
Grab one goutweed from either the west or east side of the crate. While you are here, try to grab another goutweed because one is needed for Dream Mentor.
Once you have a goutweed, return to Taverley.
Hand Sanfew the goutweed to complete the quest!
