Walkthrough[edit | edit source]

Items required: 316 coins, a bucket of milk, flour, an egg, a bowl of water, gloves (ice gloves recommended), and 2 Falador teleports (1 if you have ice gloves).

Inspect the frozen dwarf in the Lumbridge Castle dining room to start the quest.

Go to Falador, and talk to any of the three barmaids in the Rising Sun Inn next to the west bank. Ask her about dwarves and ale. She will offer to tell you the secret recipe for Asgoldian ale for the price of 200 coins. If you have the activated ring of charos, charm her (chat option is persuade). She will tell you to add a gold coin to an Asgarnian ale to get an Asgoldian ale. Buy four (4) (or six) Asgarnian ales from her (or go to The Toad and Chicken pub in Burthorpe and pick up the ales for free), then add a coin to each one as per the secret recipe.

Go to the tunnel under White Wolf Mountain (a Camelot teleport or Games Necklace are useful for a short walk). You will see An old Dwarf in the bar area. Talk to him. He will refuse to bake a Dwarven rock cake for you, but he'll mention the Rising Sun Inn.

Use the Asgoldian ales on Rohak. Quickly give them to him to get him drunk, or he will sober up and you will need to get more Asgoldian ales again.

He will agree to make you a dwarven rock cake for 100 gold. Give him your bucket of milk, egg, flour, and bowl of water, and he will put the hot cake on the table next to you. You will need to cool it down before you can give it to the Dwarf back in Lumbridge. Warning: trying to pick up the cake without any gloves on will cause damage and the rock cake will drop to the ground. Wearing normal gloves avoids damage but the rock cake still needs to cool.

If you have ice gloves equipped, picking up the cake cools it immediately. If you've forgotten to equip your ice gloves, you can still pick it up with any other gloves (otherwise it will likely despawn before you can bank and return and you will need to bring Rohak with all of the ingredients again), so simply bring it to a bank, drop it there, and pick it up again with ice gloves on.

Without ice gloves, you have to kill an icefiend with the rock cake in your inventory. The other option is to leave it in the bank, though you will have to wait several hours for it to cool down. You can find icefiends on Ice Mountain, west of the Edgeville Monastery.

Once you have cooled the rock cake, return to the Lumbridge castle and use it on the frozen dwarf.
