Recipe for Disaster: Freeing King Awowogei

This is a subquest of Recipe for Disaster.

Preliminary to the quest
To complete this subquest, you need to make three Monkey Greegrees to transform into three monkeys. Remember what Zooknock told you at the end of Monkey Madness: You create greegrees by bringing to him in the Ape Atoll Dungeon the bones of the type of monkey you want to become and a Monkey talisman. You need the bones of a Monkey Archer, a Monkey Guard, and a Zombie monkey for this subquest.

You can purchase talismans for 1,000 coins each from Tutab's Magical Market on Ape Atoll. You may also get talismans from the monkey child, who gave his during Monkey Madness. When you tell the child that you have lost the other one (which is technically true, because it's now a greegree), he will begin to cry. If you log out and then log back in, he will have stopped crying and will freely give a new one to you. Do this three times to get the greegrees you need. This is a more time-consuming option, but you save money this way.

Begin the quest: Inspect the monkey king
Inspect Awowogei in the banquet hall in Lumbridge Castle. Gypsy Aris will say you need to feed the monkey king his favourite dish. She, however, isn't sure what his favourite dish is and suggests you ask him on Ape Atoll.

Go to Awowogei's palace in Marim on Ape Atoll. (Make sure you've equipped one of your Monkey greegrees and your Monkeyspeak amulet.) Talk with Awowogei about his favourite dish, and he will tell you he can't let you have sensitive information like that. But he will mention three monkeys.

You'll find the trio (Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru) in the Temple of Marimbo north of the palace. Talk to the three monkeys in the north-west part of the temple. After a bit of conversation, you tell Mizaru that you're planning a surprise party for the king. Mizaru will then tell you to stuff the corpse of a big snake with banana slices and monkey nut paste.

Go to Solihib's Food Stall west of the temple. Buy a banana for 2 coins and monkey nuts for 3 coins from Solihib.

Return to the three monkeys, and talk to them. Iwazaru will indicate that you have the wrong type of banana. They will say you need a red banana, found on the west side of the island. Talk to them again. Iwazaru will now indicate that you have the wrong kind of monkey nuts. They will tell you to find tchiki monkey nuts on the Tchiki nut bush in a cave in the hills south of the village.

(Note: You may see the message "There is no nuts/banana in/on the bush/tree" before the three monkeys tell you the correct banana and nuts.)



Pick the red banana
To get the red banana, wield your gorilla greegree, as you'll need lots of strength. Then head west to the water's edge and find the red banana tree. (It is just north of a pineapple plant.) The leaves of the tree have a red-brown edge. Use your rope on the tree to get the banana. (If you forgot a rope, Ifaba's general store in the middle of the village sells them.) Collect one, slice it, and then collect another. It is a good idea to collect at least a third one, as there is a possibility of burning the stuffed snake, thus requiring another banana. Slice all but one of the bananas After that, run back to three monkeys and talk to them. Mizaru will take the banana and eat it, but the sliced red bananas will remain uneaten. Then, talk to them again about the tchiki monkey nut bush.



Gather the tchiki monkey nuts
Wield your ninja greegree, go to the south part of village, and enter the Ape Atoll Agility Course. (Look for the Agility training icon on the World map.) Go across the obstacles until you find a hole (it is just after the rope swing). Enter the hole and and pick a monkey nut from the bush. Grind it with your pestle and mortar and then collect another nut. It is a good idea to collect at least a third one, as there is a possibility of burning the stuffed snake, thus requiring another nut. If a third one is picked, make sure that all but one of the nuts are ground. Climb up the rope to exit the cavern, and climb down the tropical tree to complete the course. Run back to the three monkeys and talk to them. Mizaru will take the nut and eat it, while the ground ones will remain in your inventory. Then, talk to them about the giant snake.



Kill the giant snake
(Note: If you kill a snake before getting your instructions from the three monkeys, it will drop only bones.)

Travel back to Crash Island, and go east from Lumdo to find a pit. (Be quick: The level 38 scorpions and level 24 snakes by the beach are both poisonous and aggressive.)

Before climbing down into the pit, turn on the Protect from Melee prayer, because the pit is a multicombat area and five level 84 big snakes will drain your hitpoints quickly and poison you.

Enter the pit, and kill one of the big snakes to get a snake corpse. You may want to get more than one snake corpse, in case you burn the raw stuffed snake. Climb back up the rope in the centre of the pit to escape. Note that the Snakes are weak to crush attacks. Use that to your advantage.

Prepare the dish
Use the slices and paste on the corpse to create a Raw stuffed snake. Do not use unprepared ingredients on the snake, or else you will acquire an Odd stuffed snake, which cannot be cooked. Go back to Ape Atoll (if you haven't already), hold your zombie greegree, and talk to the three monkeys in the temple. Iwazaru indicates you need to enter the dungeon below the temple to cook the stuffed snake.

Climb down the trapdoor in the east of the temple to enter the dungeon. Walk down a wooden platform, and look for a crack in the wall just below the climbing rope between the two flights of stairs in the east wall (it will say Enter Exit). Squeeze through the gap, walk across the hot coals with your undead feet, and then cook the raw stuffed snake on the long, hot rock to make stuffed snake. (This may fail.)

Then with the cooked stuffed snake, go back to Lumbridge castle (probably by Home Teleport) and save King Awowogei. You will have a funny conversation forcing Awowogei to teach you the spell for teleporting to Ape Atoll.

Congratulations! Subquest complete!

Trivia

 * If you talk to the three monkeys after cooking the stuffed snake, Iwazaru will want to eat it. You'll tell the trio, "Thanks for your help guys! I've had more fun than a barrel of monkeys doing this."
 * Mizaru means "see monkey" In Japanese.
 * Kikazaru means "listen monkey" in Japanese.
 * Iwazaru means "speak monkey" in Japanese.
 * When talking to King Awowogei after feeding him the stuffed snake, you will persuade him to teach you the Teleport to Ape Atoll spell, but after he has done this, you will apologize to him for forcing him to teach you the spell. He will tell you that it could have been much worse; you could have persuaded him to marry you. This may be a reference to the fact (which the Three Wise Monkeys had revealed to you earlier) that King Awowogei had married the chef who invented the stuffed snake recipe. Interestingly, during this conversation, Awowogei will make the "marry" remark even if your character is male.
