The Fairy Tale II quest involves detective work, fairy ring travel, and crafting a potion to cure the Fairy Queen. Follow these steps to complete the quest efficiently.

Starting the Quest

Head to Draynor Village and speak to Martin the Master Gardener in the market square. He’ll complain about his crops failing despite your efforts in Fairy Tale I. Wait approximately 5-6 minutes (real-world time) for his crops to “grow,” then talk to him again. Martin will accuse you of causing the issue, and you’ll agree to investigate further.

Tip: Avoid pickpocketing Martin before starting, as it delays quest progression for 15 minutes.

Investigating Fairy Nuff’s Grotto

Travel to Zanaris via the Lumbridge Swamp shack, equipping your Dramen or Lunar Staff. Go to Fairy Nuff’s grotto, just north of the bank. A cutscene reveals the grotto in disarray. Pick up Nuff’s Certificate from the floor near the potion shelves and study it by right-clicking. The certificate’s back contains strange fairy symbols you’ll need to decode.

Decoding the Certificate

Visit the Fairy Chef south of the bank and show her the certificate. She’ll mention similar symbols near the Cosmic Altar ruins. Head southwest to the ruins, just past the Tanglefoot area from Fairy Tale I, and read the Rune Temple Sign on the southern wall. It says “Cosmic Rune Altar,” allowing you to decipher the certificate’s message: “The Godfather attacked us. We have fled to safety. If you are loyal to her majesty, find us by using coordinates: AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS.”

Confronting the Fairy Godfather

Go to the Fairy Queen’s throne room, now occupied by the Fairy Godfather, near the Slayer Master Chaeldar. Ask him about the Queen’s whereabouts. He’ll panic, grant you permission to use the fairy rings, and suggest speaking to the Co-ordinator outside the throne room. The Co-ordinator explains the fairy ring system briefly.

Unlocking and Using Fairy Rings

Head to the fairy ring southwest of the wheat field and speak to Fairy Fixit. With your Dramen Staff equipped, you can now use fairy rings. Input the certificate’s coordinates in order:

  1. AIR: Teleports to an island south of Witchaven.
  2. DLR: Takes you to Poison Waste near Castle Wars.
  3. DJQ: Doesn’t teleport (this is intentional).
  4. AJS: Transports you to the Fairy Queen’s hideout.

Note: Keep Nuff’s Certificate in your inventory, or you’ll end up on a penguin island by mistake. After entering the sequence once, it appears as a shortcut in the teleport menu.

Finding the Fairy Queen

At the hideout, follow the path northeast to find Fairy Nuff and Fairy Very Wise. They reveal the Fairy Godfather harmed the Queen by withholding her magic secateurs, causing her illness. Your task is to create a Magic Essence potion to cure her.

Gathering Potion Ingredients

You’ll need a Star Flower and Gorak Claws to craft the potion. Follow these steps:

  • Star Flower: Use fairy ring code CKP to reach a cosmic plane. Wait 2-5 minutes for a Star Flower to grow, then pick it. Add it to your Vial of Water.
  • Gorak Claws: Use fairy ring code DIR to enter a plane with level 145 Goraks. Kill one (safespot using terrain if needed) to obtain Gorak Claws. Grind them with a Pestle and Mortar to get Gorak Claw Powder.

Combat Tip: Goraks deal typeless damage, so protection prayers won’t work. Wear melee armor and bring food, as they can hit accurately but have low defense.

Crafting the Magic Essence Potion

Return to the Fairy Queen’s hideout (AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS). Combine the Star Flower with the Vial of Water, then add the Gorak Claw Powder to create the Magic Essence potion. Right-click to use it on the Fairy Queen, who’s lying on a stretcher near Fairy Nuff.

Completing the Quest

After administering the potion, speak to the Fairy Queen. She awakens, thanks you, and reveals the Fairy Godfather’s treachery, setting the stage for Fairy Tale III. Congratulations, you’ve completed Fairy Tale II – Cure a Queen!

Post-Quest Actions

For extra rewards, pickpocket the Fairy Godfather (requires 40 Thieving) to obtain a Golden Queen’s Secateurs, which boosts Farming experience temporarily. Be cautious, as failure teleports you out of Zanaris.

Rewards and Benefits

Completing Fairy Tale II offers valuable rewards that enhance your OSRS gameplay:

  • 2 Quest Points
  • 3,500 Herblore XP
  • 2,500 Thieving XP
  • XP Lamp (2,500 XP to any skill)
  • Fairy Ring Access (unlocked mid-quest, no completion required)
  • Magic Essence Potion Recipe (boosts Magic by 3 without ale side effects)

Pro Tip: Fairy rings are a game-changer for fast travel across Gielinor, with 52 unique codes unlocking diverse locations like the Kalphite Lair or Haunted Woods.

Tips and Common Pitfalls

To ensure a smooth quest experience, keep these pointers in mind:

Avoiding Fairy Ring Errors

If you teleport to an island with penguins, check:

  • Do you have Nuff’s Certificate?
  • Did you read the Cosmic Altar sign?
  • Are you entering the codes (AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS) correctly?

Combat Preparation

Goraks can be tough for lower-level players. Use a safespot (e.g., behind terrain) to minimize damage, and bring super restores if your stats are drained.

Boosting Skills

If you’re short on Farming or Herblore, use a Garden Pie (+3 Farming) or Greenman’s Ale (+1 Herblore) to meet the requirements temporarily.

With this guide, Fairy Tale II – Cure a Queen becomes a manageable and rewarding adventure. Unlocking fairy rings alone makes this quest a must-do, opening up a world of exploration in OSRS. Happy questing, and may your travels through Zanaris be magical!
