I've been directed to talk to the Tooth Fairy, the military mind behind the resistance's plan of attack. I should talk to the Tooth Fairy in the war room at Fairy Resistance HQ. Being the military sort, she has prepared a couple of briefings for me to watch, to fill me in on the situation. When the Tooth Fairy has finished talking, she'll ask me to turn on the projector (which is right next to the war table), and I should speak with her again after each briefing has finished. After a couple of briefings, she'll send me on a test mission to retrieve something we need.
I can reach Fairy Resistance HQ by using the main fairy ring in Zanaris and travelling to each of these coordinates in turn: AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS. Thankfully, before I embarked on this mission, I had a spell cast on me so I no longer need Fairy Nuff's certificate to travel there, so all I'll need is to be wielding my lunar or dramen staff.
| Tooth Fairy | Projector |
First, I need to make some tooth extractors, which I can do by using a hammer on a pair of normal farming secateurs. I can get these from anywhere, but if I am still at Fairy Resistance HQ, there happens to be some of these in storage.
Once I have my tooth extractors, I will need to use them to gain entry to the Tooth Fairy's grotto in Zanaris. I should use the fairy rings to travel there, then head to the small house just north-west of the bank and use my tooth extractors on the grotto's door.
Once inside the Tooth Fairy's grotto, I'll need to find her wand...er, there's something Gnarly standing in here...
I remember from one of the Tooth Fairy's briefings that this Gnarly is a tooth creature - she must have kept it as a pet, and it's here guarding her grotto. I also remember from that briefing that it's partial to compliments, so perhaps if I talk to it and say lots of nice things about is cusps, bicuspids, enamel and ancestry, it will give up the wand.
It will probably want some milk too, after it's placated enough to help me out. The bank is right here if I have a bucket of milk, but if I don't, there's a bucket on the ground just outside the windmill and some dairy cows roaming outside the wheat field. Once I have a bucket of milk, I should give it to Gnarly.
| Bucket | Dairy cow |
It's a demanding little creature, though, and even after the milk it wants me to close my eyes while it gets the wand, then it wants me to pick it up and take it to see the Tooth Fairy. Once I've done those things, I should carry Gnarly and the wand back to Fairy Resistance HQ and talk to the Tooth Fairy. If I somehow lose Gnarly before taking him back to the Tooth Fairy, I'll find he's scampered back home to the Tooth Fairy's grotto.
I can reach Fairy Resistance HQ by using the main fairy ring in Zanaris and travelling to each of these coordinates in turn: AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS. Thankfully, before I embarked on this mission, I had a spell cast on me so I no longer need Fairy Nuff's certificate to travel there, so all I'll need is to be wielding my lunar or dramen staff.
After returning Gnarly and wand to the Tooth Fairy, she'll tell me a little more about the plan, plus she has another briefing for me to watch, so I'll need to turn on the projector again, then discuss the next mission with her afterwards.
The Tooth Fairy needs me to have a magic tooth implanted in my mouth to grant me access to more fairy ring locations. To do so, I'll need one of my own teeth extracting... I'm supposed to stand on a patch of yellow flowers in the south-east corner of the war room in Fairy Resistance HQ, then use the Wave emote to signal that I'm ready. Then, a bunch of fairies are going to pull out one of my teeth and replace it with the magic tooth I need. I hope it doesn't hurt too much...
I can reach Fairy Resistance HQ by using the main fairy ring in Zanaris and travelling to each of these coordinates in turn: AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS. Thankfully, before I embarked on this mission, I had a spell cast on me so I no longer need Fairy Nuff's certificate to travel there, so all I'll need is to be wielding my lunar or dramen staff.
Once my magic tooth is implanted, I'll then be given a dossier of intelligence about my next mission: to extract the teeth of three ork generals. I should read through this dossier about General Bre'egth, General Gromblod and General Shredflesh.
According to the dossier, General Bre'egth can be found patrolling Zanaris (near the windmill). I should head there and talk to her...maybe about her missing tooth.
It sounds like one of her subordinates, an ork by the name of K'Chunk, knocked out one of her teeth in a fight (and kept it as a trophy, no doubt). He subsequently lost that fight, though, and was punished by being thrown somewhere in the fairy ring network by some other ork grunts. I should talk to one of the ork grunts near Bre'egth to find out where K'Chunk was sent.
Not that they know, but perhaps Fairy Fixit does...
I'll find Fairy Fixit right next to the main fairy ring in Zanaris. According to her, K'Chunk was sent to the coordinates: DIP.
The fairy ring code DIP takes me to a tiny island off the coast of Mos Le'Harmless - the only inhabitant is K'Chunk, but despite being exiled and losing his fight with General Bre'egth, he still seems pretty pleased with himself. I should ask him about Bre'egth's tooth.
Turns out he did keep Bre'egth's tooth as a trophy, and he's got it on him. A sly bit of pickpocketing should bag me the tooth I need. If I ever lose Bre'egth's tooth, I'm sure I can head back to K'Chunk's island and pickpocket him for it again.
I need all three ork teeth before taking them to the Tooth Fairy, so I should next deal with one of the other generals.
According to the dossier, Gromblod is kicking up a stink in the Enchanted Valley. I can reach there by using the fairy rings to travel to the coordinates: BKQ.
The Enchanted Valley isn't too big a place, so I should easily be able to locate and talk to General Gromblod. He's not too chatty, though, so I should try also talking to the centaurs and the dryad to see if they know what Gromblod wants here. Turns out he wants mangos to eat - he can only eat soft foods because of his bad teeth - and he's heard the inhabitants of the Enchanted Valley know where to get some.
Once I've found out about the mangos and talked to Gromblod about them, I should talk to the dryad again, who'll agree to tell me where the mangos are so I can get one for Gromblod. If Gromblod found out himself, he'd scoff the lot. The dryad will cast a spell on me to allow me access and tell me the fairy ring coordinates of the mango tree.
I should then head to the fairy ring coordinates: CLR. Once there, I can easily pick a mango and head back to the Enchanted Valley (BKQ). If I then give the mango to Gromblod he'll eat it, but I bet he won't be banking on the hard stone at the centre. Indeed, when he bites it, his tooth will come out and he'll throw the mango away. All that's left for me to do is find the mango with his tooth in it on the ground somewhere nearby, then use my trusty tooth extractors on it to retrieve the tooth.
I need all three ork teeth before taking them to the Tooth Fairy, so I should next deal with one of the other generals.
According to the dossier, Shredflesh is in toothy pain in a cave near Gu'Tanoth. I can reach this cave by using the fairy rings to travel to the coordinates: ALP.
The cave is pretty small, and Shredflesh big, so he should be easy to find. He appears to be in some distress over toothache and is searching the cave for some pain-killing herbs. Extracting his tooth would do him better, plus I need it for my mission, so perhaps I can pose as a dentist and offer to help relieve him of his pain. He's not so easily convinced, though, so when talking to him I should keep reminding him of his 'excruciating pain' a few times before revealing that I'm a dentist.
He'll only be totally convinced if I have some proof, so I should make sure to have my tooth extractors on me when I talk to him. If I've lost my tooth extractors from earlier, I can make some more by using a hammer on some secateurs. If I remember, there were hammers and secateurs in the Fairy Resistance HQ, should I not have those things already.
Even when I've managed to convince him that I'm a dentist, he really is a big teddy bear inside, as I'll need to reassure him that extracting his tooth won't hurt, that he's big and strong enough to go ahead with it, and that NOT removing his tooth will cause his other teeth to keep hurting and more (much as I dealt with complimenting Gnarly earlier). Once he's convinced, I should use my tooth extractors on him. If I ever lose Shredflesh's tooth, I can return to the cave an extract another of his rotten teeth.
I need all three ork teeth before taking them to the Tooth Fairy, so I should next deal with one of the other generals.
I should make sure I have all three teeth on me, then take them to the Tooth Fairy at Fairy Resistance HQ.
I can reach Fairy Resistance HQ by using the main fairy ring in Zanaris and travelling to each of these coordinates in turn: AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS. Thankfully, before I embarked on this mission, I had a spell cast on me so I no longer need Fairy Nuff's certificate to travel there, so all I'll need is to be wielding my lunar or dramen staff.
It's time to prepare for the final push - taking on the Fairy Godfather himself. Talking to the Tooth Fairy at Fairy Resistance HQ, she has a final briefing for me to watch that details our tactics in the final fight.
After watching this briefing, I should talk to the Tooth Fairy again. She will hand me the ZFW1 combat apparatus (her magic wand) and update my dossier with the coordinates of Orks Rift - the place where the Godfather is staging his own final assault.
I should gear up for a fight against a whole bunch of orks (who'll no doubt use any and all forms of combat against me). I can reach Orks Rift by using the main fairy ring in Zanaris and travelling to each of these coordinates in turn: BIR, DIP, CLR, ALP. Once there, I should do some recon by looking through the opening in the branches. After this, the Tooth Fairy will join me at Orks Rift too. She'll also give me a recap on the mission and cast a spell on me that will grant me reduced damage from the orks for a short while - it should be long enough for me to plant the three ork teeth.
Aside from any combat gear, supplies and food I feel I will need for this fight, I will also need the three ork generals' teeth and the Tooth Fairy's magic wand. If I have misplaced any of these things, the Tooth Fairy will be able to return them to me. Now for the fight...
| Tooth Fairy and fairy ring | Tooth farming patches |
| Fairy Godfather |
The very first thing I should try to do in this fight is to plant the three ork teeth in the three farming patches opposite the rift. In a short time, they will grow into tooth versions of the three generals and help me in this fight. I can use the ZFW1 combat apparatus (magic wand) to heal the tooth creatues either as they grow or once they're helping me. If any of them get defeated, they will restart their growing cycle and rejoin me again later.
The next thing to do is to take out the three ork generals and any ork grunts they have with them. I must decide in what order to defeat the generals, as they all bring something different to this fight. Also, the Fairy Godfather will be casting the occasional spell, binding me, healing his generals or damaging my tooth creature allies. As long as his generals are still alive, though, I can't touch him, so I need to deal with all the orks first.
General Bre'egth is a magic user - she will also shout orders at any ork grunts, making them more effective in the fight.
General Gromblod uses ranged attacks - he will sometimes call in ork grunt reenforcements through the rift.
General Shredflesh attacks with melee - he will prioritise attacking teeth creatures, regardless of whether they are fully grown or not.
If I take out Gromblod first, that will mean less ork grunts to deal with, but my tooth creature allies will be under assault from Shredflesh.
If I take out Bre'egth first, there'll be more ork grunts to deal with, but they'll be very disorganised, possibly even fighting among themselves a little.
If I take out Shredflesh first, my tooth creatures will take less of a hit, but I'll likely have a bunch of organised ork grunts to deal with in his place.
Whatever approach I take, when the last ork is defeated, I will need to let my tooth creature allies regrow (if need be) and attack the Godfather. Once all three of them have hit the Godfather at least once, his shields will be down and I'll then be able to attack him directly myself too. It won't be long before he too is finished off!
Once the Fairy Godfather has been defeated in combat, I will need to confront him face to face at Orks Rift. If I talk to him, we'll see what fate shall befall him for all his misdeeds. He can't do any more harm now, can he? Even if he tried, I've got my friends in the Fairy Resistance to back me up. They can stitch up the rift and... Uh oh, what's the Godfather up to now? Let's hope the Fairy Queen gets us all out of here fast! (If I miss any of the events that happen after defeating the Fairy Godfather, I should return to Orks Rift to see them.)
After the Godfather was defeated he was pulled into his own rift, which then exploded, causing massive damage to the surrounding area. The tooth ork creatures that helped me defeat him became cursed and started attacking me and the fairies, so the Fairy Queen teleported us all to the safety of Fairy Resistance HQ.
I should talk to the Fairy Queen at HQ to see what happens now. Hopefully, she'll have some sort of reward for my efforts in returning her to the throne.
Once she's finished dishing up my rewards, she's suggesting that I should also go and talk to Martin the Master Gardener in Draynor Village. After all, he is the one who requested me to come to Zanaris and fix whatever it was that was causing his crops to fail. After then talking with Martin, that should see this quest all finished!
