• Recipe for Disaster (Freeing Pirate Pete)

Other Requirements

• Access to a player-owned house workshop and crafting table or the Grand Exchange
• Be able to kill a level 190 monster that can disable Prayers (can be safespotted without taking damage).

Items Needed

• Equipment to breathe underwater:
• A fishbowl helmet and a diving apparatus (reobtainable from Murphy in Port Khazard if you've lost them)
• OR a Medallion of the Deep (counts as both helmet and apparatus)
• 10 wooden cats – partial completion of The Great Brain Robbery is required to make these yourself, however they are tradeable and available at the Grand Exchange
• 4 oak planks, a hammer, and a saw (if you are building your own crafting table and do not already have one; build in the Clockmaking space of the Workshop)
• 10 planks (if making your own wooden cats)
• 10 pieces of fur: fur, bear fur, or grey wolf fur (if making your own wooden cats) (wolf fur can be obtained during quest by killing Canifis townsfolk. Baraek sells them for 20 gold each. Furs from Hunter monsters will not work)
• A hammer (Note: Imcando hammer does not work)
• About 100 nails (38 are needed, but some—especially bronze or iron—may bend)
• 8 normal planks (18 if making the wooden cats instead of buying them from the Grand Exchange)
• Holy symbol
• Ring of Charos (if lost, can be re-obtained during quest by pickpocketing Fenkenstrain)

Recommended

• 60 Combat
• Means of teleportation to Port Phasmatys (through the Ectophial)
• Charged combat bracelet to teleport to the Monastery (or a charged amulet of glory to teleport to nearby Edgeville)
• Runes to cast Fenkenstrain's Castle Teleport twice (or its magic tablet equivalent)
• If making the wooden cats, runes to teleport to your (or another player's) house, or its magic tablet equivalent, are highly recommended.
• Three watermelon seeds, rake, seed dibber, and ultracompost to complete a step in the Hard Morytania Diary (requires 47 Farming).
• Weapon and armour (ranging or maging gear is highly recommended as safespotting is available)
• Food and prayer potions are highly recommended
• Plank sack can be used for making the wooden cats and building the crate, saving inventory space.

Walkthrough

1. Scouting. Talk to Brother Tranquility on Mos Le'Harmless near the dock. (Finish the dialogue, or you will be teleported back to Mos Le' Harmless) When doing the Hard Morytania Diary task, plant watermelon seeds now to be able to harvest them at the end of the quest. Beware of aggressive Level 57 zombie pirates throughout the island.
2. The prayer book. Read the book. Equip a Holy Symbol and return to Mos Le' Harmless. Talk to Brother Tranquility to return to Harmony Island.
3. The doctor. Talk to Dr Fenkenstrain (jail on the top floor of his castle north-east of Canifis). To get to the jail take the stairs to the east or west. Walk through the metal gate.
4. Making the transplants. Return to Harmony Island and enter the windmill basement. Talk to Dr Fenkenstrain. Equip your item(s) to breathe underwater before leaving the windmill and go north to the shipwreck.
5. The big battle. Return to the Harmony island monastery and Confront Mi-Gor to start the fight against Barrelchest. You must wear your equipment to breathe underwater. Each attack will disable your prayer and remove a few prayer points.
