Preparation

Template:Map:Tai Bwo Wannai Preo Throughout the quest, make sure to right-click all items and then select "use" for them, as most of them are edible/destroyable. In addition, be aware of the Tribesmen in and around Tai Bwo Wannai, who are aggressive and deal very high poison damage.

The following three items should be prepared early. Refer to the map labelled "preparation." The last preparation step is not completable by ironmen until mid-quest, and as such will be included in the walkthrough below.

- Pick a banana if you don't have one already

Burnt jogre bones

Buy jogre bones off the Grand Exchange or kill them at the point labelled "Jogres"
Light the bones on fire with a tinderbox (requires 30 Firemaking) or at a furnace
Wait for the fire to go out, then pick up the burnt jogre bones

Pasty bones

Go towards fairy ring CKR south of Tai Bwo Wannai, then run north to the fishing spots
Fish 45 raw karambwanji. These are stackable, and will be needed for the rest of the quest
Use your pestle and mortar on one of the raw karambwanji to get karambwanji paste
Use the paste on the burnt jogre bones to get pasty jogre bones
*(DO NOT BURY)* Cook the pasty jogre bones to get marinated jogre bones

Karambwan-poisoned spear

Buy a raw karambwan off the Grand Exchange
Cook it on any cooking utility to get a poison karambwan
