Walkthrough overview

A brief summary of the quest, noting where each card is used. The OSRS Wiki has the full, authoritative walkthrough.

1. 1

   Inspect the frozen goblin statues in the Lumbridge Castle dining room to start the subquest, then go to Goblin Village and climb down the ladder south of the generals to reach Mudknuckles the goblin cook.

2. 2

   Give Mudknuckles charcoal for his recipe; his cauldron explodes in a cutscene. He then explains the generals need oranges that aren't orange, maggots that aren't bland, and special bread.
