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
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
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
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
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
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
Free your hand and cape slots and talk to Larry, who shrinks you into the suit.
- 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
Get swamp tar from Lumbridge Swamp and five ordinary chicken feathers from the farm north of it.
- Swamp tar
- 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
Suit up in Fred the Farmer's sheep pen and talk to the sheep.
05The Iceberg course
- 1
Climb down into the water, avoid the moving ice and cross the stepping stones. Failing costs minor damage.
- 2
Use Tread softly on each icicle shelf, repeatedly. The ice crossing after it deals 2 damage per slip.
- 3
To leave the facility, simply take off the penguin suit and you are thrown out beside Larry.
- 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
