The Goblin Cook
Items needed: Bread, an orange, a knife, a dye (not red, yellow, orange, or pink), spice, fishing bait, a bucket of water, and charcoal
Recommended: Falador teleport
- Teleport to Falador—or run there—then head north and go down the ladder marked by the quest icon below and you will find Mudknuckles, the Goblin cook.
- Talk to him and select dialogue options 2, 1 and he will tell you he needs you to get charcoal to finish a cooking recipe.
- Talk to him again and pick 1 to give him the charcoal. A cutscene will play where he adds it to the cauldron and it explodes—but don’t worry, you both make it out fine.
- Chat with the Goblin Cook again, select 3, and he’ll tell you what he needs to make the dish. Here’s how to get each ingredient:
- Once you have everything, talk to the Goblin Cook again, pick 3, and you’ll get the Slop of Compromise.
- Teleport back to Lumbridge using your home teleport or a Lumbridge teleport. Enter the large door to the dining room and use the Slop of Compromise on Wartface or Bentnoze in the Lumbridge Castle Dining Room to finish the quest.
Congratulations! You have completed Freeing the Goblin Generals quest.
