Start the quest by talking to Brother Tranquility on Mo Le’Harmless.

He teleports you to a granary with zombie monks in it, if you leave it you will be attack by level 57 zombies.

After you have finished speaking with him leave the granary and go north to find a statue; push it and climb down.

When you’ve climbed down the statue equip your diving gear (Talk to Murphy, at the trawler mini-game, if you need them back) you will need planks and nails for this part. Climb down the stairs when you’ve equipped your diving gear and run all the way east and ‘repair’ the stairs. Climb both sets of stairs and look through the peep-hole. You learn that the zombies are making sleeping gas.

Go back to Brother Tranquility and tell him about the plans. He tells you to go the monastery, west of Edgeville, and retrieve a prayer book. Teleport to Edgeville or Falador and make your way to the monastery. Go to the downstairs south-west corner of the monastery and search the bookcase.

Equip your holy symbol and return to Mos Le’Harmless. Talk to Brother Tranquility and return to Harmony Island. Recite the prayer book and it will negate the effects of the gas in the granary.

Talk to Brother Tranquility and he will tell you he needs Dr Fenkenstrain to perform brain surgery on them. Dr Fenkenstrain will ask you to smuggle him out of the castle. He tells you to talk to Rufus, who runs the food shop in Canifis. He should give you 6 crate parts.

Bring some nails, hammer, 4 planks and the crate parts back up to Dr. Fenkenstrains’ tower. There should be an outline of a crate in his tower, if there is, build it then add the bottom on.

Now head to your house with 10 planks and 10 furs and make 10 wooden cats (NOT clockwork) Head back over the Dr. Fenstrains’ tower with the 10 cats and the wolf whistle. Put the cats in the crate, talk to Dr. Fenkenstrain then blow the whistle and view the cut scene. You will receive a shipping label afterwards. Use it with the crate and it will teleport away.

Return to granary on Harmony Island and go downstairs where you will find Dr. Fenkenstrain. He tells you he needs a cranial clamp, a pair of brain tongs, three bell jars, at least 30 skull staples and a hammer.

Make sure you’re wearing the breathing apparatus because of the sleeping gas and head north. Board the pirate ship and grab a fuse, a keg and a tinderbox.

Use the keg and fuse with the door then use the tinderbox with the fuse. There will be a small explosion and the door will be cleared. Go inside and kill the sorebones until you have all the items you need. You can bank at Mos Le’Harmless if you need to.

Go back and speak with Dr. Fenkenstrain and give him all the items. When you have given him everything there will be a short cut scene.

Go and bank to get ready for the fight with the level 190. Note: You CANNOT use prayer in this fight, so be well prepared.

Speak to one of the monks to receive a blessing then return to the place where you fought the sorebones before. Confront Mi-Gor, he will release a level 190 Monster. When you’ve defeated it, it will drop a barrelchest anchor, pick it up.

Return to the granary and speak with Brother Tranquility, he tells you that Mi-Gor escaped. He will give you a lamp, which will give 5k experience on any skill.
