OSRS Tourist Trap Guide: How to Rescue Ana

The Tourist Trap is a quest that involves an undercover operation to rescue an Al Kharidian woman's daughter from a slave camp.  

General Questing recommendations: Enable RuneLite Quest Helper in your RuneLite plugin section, hold your space bar to skip through NPC dialog, and use number keys for chatting dialog.  

Time to complete: It took me about 17 minutes to finish The Tourist Trap. I didn’t get caught by any guards, but that’s mainly because I’m familiar with the quest. If you’re new to it, expect it to take a bit longer.

Walkthrough of Tourist Trap

Starting the Quest

• Talk to Irena, south of Shantay Pass. Select options 1, 1 to offer to help her find her daughter. Buy a Shantay Pass from Shantay and use it to enter the desert.  Normal accounts can teleport to Al Kharid using an Amulet of Glory and run south. Ironman accounts need to run from Lumbridge. Equip desert clothes, bring water skins and unequip all metal armor to reduce thirst in the hot desert. Refill waterskins by cutting cacti.

Fighting the Mercenary Captain

Head south to the Desert Mining Camp and talk to the Mercenary Captain. During the dialogue, choose options 1, 2, 2, 2, 1 to mock the Captain so he fights you without his guards intervening. Important: Don’t attack early. The Captain’s guards can overwhelm you, drain your water, and deal heavy damage.

Safespot Tips

• talk to one of the mercenaries when the fight starts, then use him to stop the Mercenary captain from reaching you, as shown below. This lets you attack with mage or ranged safely.

• Alternatively, set up a dwarf multicannon west of the gate and lure the Captain to the edge of his roaming area.

Entering the Desert Camp

• Unequip all combat gear before entering the desert camp. Wearing combat gear will get you thrown into prison.

  • • Tip: If you’re caught, bend bars in a window and climb out, then scale rocks and cliffs to escape.

• Run east to the Male Slave and talk to him. Reply 1, 2, 1, 1, 1 so he tells you his plans to escape. Talk to him again and choose options 1, 1 to help him remove the cuffs and switch outfits with him. Ensure no guard is nearby before attempting this. Tip: Watch guard patterns carefully; getting caught can result in loss of the Cell door key

Entering the Mine

• Enter the mine door while wearing the Slave clothes.Warning: In the underground mine, don’t remove your clothes or mention the key, or guards will jail you to mine until you mine 15 rocks and deliver them at once and you’ll lose any items you dropped. Also, guards may attack if you wear slave robes, so stay alert.

• In the mine, click the marked spot below to go round to the other side of the mine and talk to the guard there. During the dialogue, reply 2, 2 to tell him to you wish to mine a new area and he will tell you he wants a 'Tenti Pineapple'.

• Run back through the mine door and return to the surface. Make sure to unequip the slave clothes before leaving the camp. 
• Go west to the Bedabin Camp and speak to Al Shabim in the south tent. Reply 1, 1  and he’ll promise the pineapple if you bring him the weapon plans and gives you a key.

The Weapon Plans

• Remember to ensure you have no armour or weapon then enter the slave camp west again. Climb up the ladder of the building in the camp and search the bookcase to the west.

• Talk to Captain Siad about sailing to distract him. choose options 1, 5, 3, 1 in that order, for him to drift into a long sailing rant, which gives you the perfect chance to open his chest and take the Technical plans unnoticed.
• Return to Al Shabim in the Bedabin Camp with the Technical plans, 1 bronze bar, a hammer, and 50 feathers.
• Talk to Al Shabim. Select chat options 1, 1 during the dialogue and he will give you permission to use the nearby north anvil.
• Enter the north tent and attempt to make a prototype dart tip on the anvil by using the bronze bar on the anvil, then attach the feathers to create a Prototype dart. You can fail either step, so bring extra materials. It took about 3 tries and i think that is a good average for most players 
• Return the dart and the technical plans to Al Shabim, and he’ll give you the pineapple.

Note: You can now make darts yourself!

Finding Anna

• After the conversation with Al Shabim, go back to the camp, equip the Slave shirt, Slave robe, and Slave boots, then enter the mine.
• Follow the cave around and talk to the guard like you did before. After the conversation, enter the mine cave through the entrance behind the guard

• While inside the Mine cave, right-click Search (not look in) the nearby barrels until you find one you can pick up — you’ll need it later. Right-click to search the minecart and reply 1 to ride it. Note: It is possible to fail this stunt and take 1-4 damage by banging your knee or falling off the edge of the minecart.

• Follow the path to the northwest corner, where you will find Anna. Then, use a barrel on her. Note: If you talk to Ana, remember the guards are listening. Don’t mention the guards or the key — they’ll throw you into the mines and confiscate it.

Rescuing Anna

• Right-click to use Anna on the mine cart you came in with. Then, right-click search the mine cart to ride it yourself. Warning: If you try to exit the mine with Ana still in your inventory, the guards will discover her, you will be jailed, and you’ll have to restart the Finding Ana section.
• After the ride, right-click to search the barrel next to you to find Ana. Right-click use the barrel on the Winch bucket. The nearby guard will offer to help hoist it—reply 1, 1 to send Anna to the surface. 

• Walk through the mine entrance and return to the surface. Right-click and operate the winch in the southwest corner of the camp, then search the barrel that comes to the surface to retrieve Anna.

• Use Anna on the Wooden cart in the middle of the camp, then talk to the minecart driver. Then carefully select the following chat options 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2 in order to get out of the camp. Warning: If you click the wrong dialogue options you will have to redo the majority of this quest!

• After the conversation and the mine cart driver has agreed, right-click the wooden cart and choose the option to escape on it
• After escaping, bring Anna back to Irena south of Shantay Pass to complete the quest.
