[edit] Walkthrough

Inspect Skrach Uglogwee in the banquet hall in Lumbridge Castle. Gypsy Aris will say you can unfreeze him if you feed him Jubbly Chompy bird. She suggests, doubtfully, that Rantz in Feldip Hills may be able to help.

[edit] Off to Feldip Hills

Make your way to Feldip Hills, and talk to Rantz, who lives east of the Feldip Hills, near the water (look for the quests icon on the minimap). (If you use the Fairy ring to Feldip Hills, it is combination AKS.) He will tell you Skrach likes Jubbly Chompy but says before he will help you he wants to travel to Karamja to make some type of potion. He will tell you to meet him south-east of his cave.

Follow the coastline south and then east until you come to an old tree at the water's edge, near willow trees and a cabbage. Talk to Rantz, who will kick the old tree over and ask you to make it into a boat. Use your hatchet on it to make a crude boat. (You have to trim the roots of the tree back and then hollow it out.) Tell him the boat is ready, and he will shoot a steel brutal arrow to a tree on Karamja and tell you to cook a chompy "by da stabber!"

Note: Be sure to kill some chompies before you go to Karamja.

[edit] Over to Karamja

Travel to Karamja. (If you take the Fairy rings, use combination CKR.) Head to the coast just north-west of Tai Bwo Wannai village and south-west of the General Store, and search along the beach until you find a small palm tree with an ogre arrow in it. Make a fire under the palm tree, use your iron spit on a chompy, and cook the Skewered chompy on the fire. If you succeed, Rantz's kids—Bugs and Fycie—will bring the boat and take you back to Rantz.

[edit] Back to Feldip Hills

Talk to Rantz again. He will tell you to make a balloon toad to use as bait:

• First, fill your Ogre bellows with Swamp bubbles from the swamp just west of Rantz, and then use the bellows on a Swamp toad to get a Bloated toad in your inventory.

• Next, mine one of the Pile of Rock just next to Rantz' cave. Like the limestone east of Varrock, you can mine one pile three times for a rock.

• Finally, with the rock, toad, and a ball of wool in your inventory, use the bellows on the bloated toad again to make a balloon toad. (Make sure your Ogre bellows is still filled with Swamp bubbles, or nothing interesting will happen.)

Drop the balloon toad in an area south of Rantz, and wait for the Jubbly (level 9). If it doesn't appear, you'll get your wool back, but you need another rock and will need to inflate a toad two times again.

When the Jubbly appears, kill it with your ogre bow. Pluck it like a chompy, take the meat, and cook it on Rantz's spit outside his cave.

It IS possible to burn the Jubbly meat.

Return to Lumbridge Castle, and give the cooked Jubbly to Skrach to complete this part of the quest.
