Freeing King Awowogei

Inspect Awowogei in the Lumbridge Castle dining room to start the quest, then travel to Ape Atoll.

Recommended items throughout the stay at Ape Atoll: M'speak amulet, Karamjan monkey greegree (or other greegrees), antipoison and food.

The easiest way to get to Ape Atoll is to use fairy ring code CLR, which leads to the middle of the agility course. If you have a ninja greegree (required later), equip it and complete the agility course. Otherwise, attempt the rope swing as a human. You will fall and be put in jail. Then you can equip a different greegree, pick the lock and leave.

You can also get to Ape Atoll by going to the 1^st floor (UK) of the Grand Tree and speaking to Daero.

Note: if you already obtained the ninja, zombie and gorilla greegrees during Monkey Madness I, you can skip this section.

In order to make the three required greegrees, you must bring a monkey talisman and the respective bones to Zooknock, who is located at the end of the Ape Atoll Dungeon. Monkey talismans can be purchased from the rune salesman Tutab on Ape Atoll for 1,000 coins each, or obtained for free from the Monkey Child.

Once you land on Ape Atoll, head north with a greegree equipped (use the karamjan greegree if you do not have the others) and pass through the gate. Purchase three monkey talismans from the rune salesman. Next, kill a Monkey Guard and take its bones. Monkey Guards are located near the prayer altar on Ape Atoll. Make sure to use Ranged or Magic and safespot them, Melee can be used but Monkey Guards will heal themselves when they reach low health so high damage is needed to combat this. A safespot location is in the north-east corner of the building behind the fire, or to the south behind the ladder.

Next you will need to kill a Monkey Archer. North of the bank icon on the mini-map are two ninja monkeys (monkey archers); either protect from range or safespot (by standing in the tall grass) to kill one. Make sure to grab the bones.

Zombie monkeys can be found in the Ape Atoll dungeon (entrance located on the south side of the island). This is the same cave that Zooknock can be found in. Be wary of traps and poisonous spiders.

Equip any greegree you have already so that the monsters in the dungeon to Zooknock do not attack you, negating the need for prayer potions.

Rubble will constantly fall on you throughout the cave dealing small amounts of damage. This damage is negated if standing under the stone outcroppings when the screen rumble occurs. It is a good idea to bring antipoisons and food. Kill a zombie monkey in the cave and collect its bones.

Speak with Zooknock at the end of the cave with all three bones and talismans. Confirm that you want to make another (he calls it a talisman) greegree and then use the bones and talisman on Zooknock (he will pause after the conversation before giving you the greegree). Repeat this three times with the different bones to get all three greegrees.

Buy monkey nuts and grab a normal banana if you haven't already. The monkey nuts can be bought from Solihib's Food Stall and the banana from the trees in the garden with the Monkey Child (not the trees to the south). Make sure you've equipped one of your greegrees and your m'speak amulet, then go to Awowogei's palace and talk to the Elder Guard to let you in.

Note: You must have started the quest by inspecting Awowogei at the table before the Elder Guard will let you through.

Talk to Awowogei about his favourite food; he will refuse to divulge it, but will mention three monkeys in the temple. The three monkeys are located in the temple north of Awowogei, in the north-west corner of the ground floor. Asking either "What are you doing here?" or "Do you know anything about the king's favourite dish?" will lead to the player telling them that they are planning a surprise party for the king. The monkeys will tell you to stuff the corpse of a big snake with banana slices and monkey nut paste. If you have a banana and the monkey nuts with you, speak to them again twice, one for banana and one for monkey nuts. These do not need to be processed beforehand. They will tell you that these are not good enough for the king's sophisticated palate, and that you will need to replace the ingredients with a red banana and tchiki monkey nuts. The normal banana and monkey nuts are no longer needed after this point.

Note: If your cooking level is at or just above the requirement (or you are boosting) the failure rate for cooking the stuffed snake is quite high. It is useful to obtain multiple tchiki monkey nuts, red bananas and snake corpses to avoid having to re-gather the ingredients. For the former two ingredients, the player must either drop or process (slice or grind) the ingredients or they will not be allowed to pick extras.

Note: You cannot get the snake corpse beforehand. If you kill a snake before talking to Awowogei and then the three monkeys, you will get only bones.

Leave Ape Atoll and return to Crash Island. Go east until you find a large hole in the ground, and enter the cave below.

You will find five level 84 Big Snakes. Since they hit hard and are poisonous, Protect from Melee is advised. Turn it on before entering the cave. Kill one and take the snake corpse. You might want to grab multiple corpses since you might accidentally burn the snake. Try to stay away from the walls as more snakes (which are scenery) will appear and attack you.

Return to Ape Atoll and enter the city.

The red banana tree is located on the north-west coast of the island, just south-west of the gnome glider icon. To get the red banana, wield your gorilla greegree as you'll need lots of strength. Then, go to the west coast and find the tree. Use your rope on it to get the banana (if you forgot rope, Ifaba at the general store sells some). Slice the banana to get sliced red banana. You may want to pick more bananas in case of accidentally burning the snake later. To do this, your inventory cannot contain any unprocessed red bananas. Slice or drop them first to obtain more.

If no bananas are on the tree, go to the three wise monkeys again with a normal banana and go through the dialogue regarding it until it is finished.

Note: Do not return to the three monkeys with a red banana or sliced red banana in your inventory or they will eat it. This will only happen once.

Players with access to fairy rings may use the code CLR to skip part of the Agility course, though it may be faster to simply do it. Completing the course from start to finish is a requirement for the Hard Western Provinces Diary.

Wield your ninja monkey greegree, then go to the south part of town. The Agility course start-point is on the other side of a small river. You will need 48 Agility to access the course. Boosts will not work for this, and pets cannot be be following you (they can be picked up and brought along). Once over the bridge, head south-west near the cliff to enter the agility course. Continue on the course until right after the rope swing to reach the broken hut around a hole in the ground. Go down and pick some tchiki monkey nuts from the bush, then grind them into tchiki nut paste. You might want to create more tchiki nut paste in case of accidentally burning the snake later. To do this, your inventory cannot contain any unprocessed tchiki nuts. Grind or drop them first to obtain more.

If there are no nuts on the bush, return to the three monkeys and use the standard monkey nuts on one of them and go through the dialogue regarding it until it is finished.

Note: Do not return to the three monkeys with tchiki nuts or tchiki nut paste in your inventory or they will eat it. This will only happen once.

After you have everything, slice the banana and grind the nuts, then stuff your snake with them to create a raw stuffed snake. Be careful not to eat them yourself.

Go back to Ape Atoll, equip a greegree (you will need your Zombie greegree soon, but cannot run with it equipped), and then go back to the temple. Go down the trapdoor protected by gorillas, then down one of the ramps. There is a crack in the wall between the two bamboo ramps. Go through it, and you will see a patch of hot coals. This is where you need to equip your zombie greegree, as the hot coals will prevent you from going to the other side and cause you to take repeated damage otherwise. Go to the long rock on the floor, boost your Cooking level if needed, and then cook the snake on it. It is possible to over-cook the stuffed snake. You will know if you successfully cook or burn the snake, as there will be an animation when you try to cook it.

Travel back to Lumbridge Castle, and make sure your m'speak amulet is equipped. Right click the stuffed snake and use it on Awowogei. If you eat the snake, you'll have to get another one.

Congratulations! Subquest complete!
