Details

Start point	Talk to Auguste on Entrana. Show on map
Official difficulty	Intermediate
Official length	Short
Description	On the peaceful island of Entrana, a lone monk has tired of his life of simplicity and quiet reflection. Auguste wants to boldly write his name in the history books; to craftily defeat the laws of physics; to miraculously sail through the air... preferably not to horribly explode into a ball of flaming death. Of course, to do all this, he'll need the help of a worldly adventurer: are you bold enough to merrily laugh in the face of the unknown?

The big balloon

Items needed: Tinderbox, 12 willow branches, 10 regular logs (axes cannot be taken to Entrana, obtain the logs before)
Items recommended: additional noted regular/oak/willow/yew/magic logs if you wish to unlock additional routes after the quest

Leave Entrana to retrieve the remaining items. You may consider banking in Pest Control, either using Minigame Teleport or returning to Port Sarim and travelling there and back via the ships.
- If you still require willow branches, they can be purchased from the Grand Exchange or trimmed with secateurs by using them on the grown sapling given by Auguste or another willow tree you've grown. Do not clear the stump, or cut down the tree until all branches are obtained.
Back on Entrana, use the branches on the balloon frame on the nearby platform.
