[edit] Walkthrough
When you're in the strange dimension, you'll find the Culinaromancer, four white portals that lead back to the dining room, and one of your previous quest bosses. You will fight the bosses in sequence one by one, beginning with Agrith Na-Na.
The Culinaromancer is too strong to be defeated until you've defeated the first five bosses. You can leave and stock up after defeating one boss without losing your place in the fight. Sharks or higher healing foods are recommended during the fights, especially if you have lower than 60 defence. If you try to enter the portal before finishing Desert Treasure, a message will appear saying "You need to have completed Desert Treasure to access this portal."
You can and should bank after each kill to restore potions and food! Also, check each boss's page before the battle for specific advice on fighting that boss.
Note: Before you enter the portal for the first time, Gypsy Aris will warn you that inside the dimension your prayers will not work at all. Should you die, your items can be retrieved from next to the portal.
When you are ready, enter the portal in the dining room of Lumbridge Castle.
[edit] Agrith-Na-Na
Agrith-Na-Na is Agrith-Naar from the Shadow of the Storm quest, but he is now made of bananas and is level 146. He uses melee up close and Fire Blast at a distance. He also teleports you close to him if you run from him. Kill him however you like (range is effective), with food. He drops one banana.
[edit] Flambeed
Flambeed is Fareed from Desert Treasure but now level 149. You need Ice gloves to wield a weapon. He's harder to defeat without prayer, but you should just kill him however you like with lots of food. If you're maging, be sure to use Water spells and mage armour with good melee defence (such as Ahrim's robes, Lunar equipment, Splitbark armour, or even Void Knight Mage robes, although you can also wear Mystic robes too). If you're ranging, use Ice arrows. He drops cakes. Also if you do not have Ice gloves, it is a good idea to have a full inventory of high-healing food and eat when you are at low hit points. Another alternative without ice gloves is to mage him having a full inventory and using stew to heal, since your inventory is full your weapon will not get unequipped.
[edit] Karamel
Karamel is essentially the female counterpart of Kamil from the Desert Treasure quest. Fight her up close with a Fire spell that you're well above the required level to do, since she lowers your stats. Bring Stat restore potions and lots of high-healing food. As per the norm, melee doesn't work very well. However, unlike her male counterpart in Desert Treasure, Karamel's melee attacks don't do any damage. If maging, use Magic armour. When defeated, she drops a Choc-ice.
[edit] Dessourt
Dessourt is Dessous from Desert Treasure. Melee doesn't work very well on him, but magic does ( Iban Blast work extremely well, he can be defeated within 30 seconds with this method, but make sure to select autocast on the magic menu. ). Bring lots of food, and then defeat him as quickly as possible. If using melee and you don't have a very high level, it is recommended that you bring a Super set. He can be fairly hard to hit even using a Super set. If maging (which is recommended), use mage armour. He drops chocolate dust.
[edit] Gelatinnoth Mother
Gelatinnoth Mother is the Dagannoth Mother from the Horror from the Deep quest and may be the hardest to kill. She is level 130. She uses melee up-close (which is strong) and ranged from a distance (which is weaker). She changes colour as she fights, and her colour shows her weakness. Using magic enables you to cover four of her six colours with one set of armour and weapons. However, even if you plan to primarily fight with magic, Ranged armour or a balanced-defence armour is recommended to protect against this monster's melee and ranging attacks. Her weakness cycle is as follows: Wind spells (white), Water spells (blue), Melee attack (orange), Earth spells (brown), Fire spells (red), and Ranged attack (green), and then repeats.
[edit] Culinaromancer
After you've defeated the Gelatinnoth Mother, the Culinaromancer himself will attack you ("You have caused me enough grief!" he will tell you. "I guess I will have to finish you off myself!"). He's level 75, hits over 20, and has practically no defence. He uses magic (his spell cast looks like a cake with white frosting and sounds like Water Wave) but tries to get up close to attack. Kill him with any attack, and bring food. He is a much easier opponent than the preceding monsters: If you are combat level 100 or higher, you could kill him in a few hits. Dragon dagger special attacks are very effective on him. When you've killed the Culinaromancer you will see a short cutscene, celebrating the quests completion.
