- Start on Entrana. Sail to Entrana and talk to Auguste north of the Herblore shop three times. Use the papyrus on the ball of wool, then use the unlit candle on the balloon structure.
- Gather materials. Talk to Auguste again with 2 papyrus and a sack of potatoes, fill 8 sacks with sand south of him, then give Auguste the yellow dye, red dye, 10 silk, a bowl and the 8 sandbags.
- Second trip. Leave Entrana and return with a tinderbox, 10 regular logs and 12 willow branches. Use the branches on the balloon frame and talk to Auguste.
- Fly the balloon. Complete the three in-flight screens by dropping sandbags, burning logs, relaxing, and pulling the correct ropes as prompted.

Enlightened Journey FAQ
01What are the requirements for Enlightened Journey?
20 Quest points and 20 Firemaking, 30 Farming and 36 Crafting. All three skills are boostable.
02What does Enlightened Journey unlock?
The balloon transport system, the Bomber jacket and cap, and the ability to make origami balloons.
03Can I complete Enlightened Journey in one trip to Entrana?
It normally takes two trips, since you need to bank for the logs, tinderbox and willow branches after building the balloon.
04Is Enlightened Journey worth doing?
It is required for Monkey Madness II and the Medium Ardougne and Varrock diaries, and each balloon route you fly for the first time after the quest gives an extra 2,000 Firemaking experience.
05What do I need for the second trip in Enlightened Journey?
You need at least 10 regular logs, a tinderbox and 12 unnoted willow branches. Willow branches come from a willow tree or can be bought; ironmen who grow Auguste's sapling must wait roughly four hours for it to grow.
06Is Enlightened Journey hard?
No combat is involved; the difficulty is the three-screen balloon obstacle course, where hitting anything or missing the landing pad makes you restart the flight.
07What can I do with the Bomber jacket and cap?
They are cosmetic rewards. If you also have Gnome goggles from the Gnome Restaurant minigame, Auguste can combine them into the Cap and goggles.
