About this quest

Starting out: Talk to Larry at Ardougne Zoo.

There is no written introduction to this one yet. The walkthrough, requirements, items and rewards below are complete.

Walkthrough

01Larry and the lookout

  1. 1

    Talk to Larry at the south entrance of Ardougne Zoo. He wants ten oak planks, ten steel nails, a hammer and a spade for a penguin lookout.

    • Steel nails
    • Hammer
    • Spade
  2. 2

    Tell him you have the materials and accept the teleport to the Iceberg.

    You cannot be teleported with a pet following you. Bank any follower first.

02The clockwork suit

  1. 1

    Collect a plank — Barbarian Outpost or Port Khazard are the nearest — and a piece of silk, which can be stolen at the East Ardougne market with 20 Thieving.

    • Plank
    • Silk
  2. 2

    Make a clockwork from a steel bar at a clockmaker's bench, then use the bench again for a clockwork toy and build the suit.

  3. 3

    Return to Larry and go back to the Iceberg. The lookout is destroyed and the penguins are gone, so the suit gets tested at the zoo instead.

03Meeting the penguins

  1. 1

    Free your hand and cape slots and talk to Larry, who shrinks you into the suit.

  2. 2

    In the enclosure, right-click penguins until one has a Talk option. He wants a greeting first — the emote sequence shown in the earlier cutscene.

    The sequence is different for every player. If you missed the cutscene you cannot go back, but guessing works: you are told immediately when an emote is wrong.

04Intelligence gathering

  1. 1

    Get swamp tar from Lumbridge Swamp and five ordinary chicken feathers from the farm north of it.

    • Swamp tar
  2. 2

    Pick up the mahogany plank, leather and food for the next stage while you are near a bank — there is not another one for a long while.

  3. 3

    Suit up in Fred the Farmer's sheep pen and talk to the sheep.

05The Iceberg course

  1. 1

    Climb down into the water, avoid the moving ice and cross the stepping stones. Failing costs minor damage.

  2. 2

    Use Tread softly on each icicle shelf, repeatedly. The ice crossing after it deals 2 damage per slip.

  3. 3

    To leave the facility, simply take off the penguin suit and you are thrown out beside Larry.

  4. 4

    Steal a cowbell from a dairy cow — one is in south-east Rellekka — and use the mahogany plank on the leather to make penguin bongos.

    Rewards

    Everything else

    • Crafting experience
    • Agility experience
    • Construction experience
    • The ability to make the penguin suit. To enter the suit again, you must talk to Larry again at the zoo, pier, or Iceberg
    • The ability to use the Penguin Agility Course
    • Players can also steal more cowbells and make more bongos. The cowbells or the bongos can only be played in a penguin suit
