Culinary Assistant

A culinary's dream
Speak to the Culinary Master, who says he wishes to find the best food in all of Gielinor, and so he has travelled far and wide across the whole world in search of the best chefs, he states that he heard of a new type of delicacy created by the people of the west, and he wishes to try it out, but first he has to meet with Mess Sergeant Ramsey in Taverley, but he doesn't know where it is, tell him that you'll guide him there and he'll start following you.

Sticky situation
Upon reaching Taverley you'll see that there are a lot of Gelatinous abominations and Burthorpe guards, talk to Captain Jute who'll explain that the abominations managed to escape their cave and overrun the town, agree to help and head to the Burthorpe Slayer Cave, but you will be stopped by an abomination. Compared to the normal Gelatinous abominations, this one has 10000 Lifepoints and a special attack that launches 3 projectiles, one in the tile the player is standing in and the other two in tiles nearby, leaving a tray of goo behind. If you get hit by the projectiles you'll take 1000 damage and get stunned for 8 seconds, if you step on the goo you'll be bound for 8 seconds. Once you kill the abomination head inside the cave and go to the southernmost part, investigate the crack on the wall and enter it. Once inside you'll find yourself in a cave with more Gelatinous abomination, head to the western part of it and investigate the closed door, once you do, you'll overhear a conversation between two beings.

"This army of abominations... It will help me have my revenge on that adventurer and the council, right?"

"Indeed, you have nothing to worry about, as long as they don't find out the recipe for the cakes, we'll be fine."

"Brilliant then, let's go create more of these."

Knowledge is delicious
Head back to Captain Jute and tell him about your discovery, he'll tell you that you should investigate the situation more, as the abominations don't seem to stop attacking, he'll also tell you that someone found a key inside of the abominations and that it must be related to what you found. Head back to the cave and open the chest to the south to find a book on gelatinous beings.

The book will reveal that gelatinous monsters were first created by an ogre named Gookgo, using water and food scraps, and that while they're pretty much mindless, the monsters are attracted to cakes, especially cakes made by an ancient goblin cook named Goonose.

Head to Goblin village and talk to the Goblin Cook, he'll tell you that the ancient recipe for his cakes were destroyed by goblins because they were used as toilet paper, but that he does remembers some of the ingredients, which were:

* Burnt Jubbly stuffed with bread

* Fish cake with milk and egg on it

* Fresh goutweed marinated with tears from a troll that just got heartbroken

After receiving a very... Specific list of items, it's time to gather them

Ingredients for disaster
* The first one is easy, just use the bread on the raw jubbly and then cook it on Rantz's fire spit

* The second one is also easy, just use the milk and egg on the fish cake

* The last one is not that easy, talk to My Arm and tell him if he can grow some goutweed for you, as you need it fresh, he says he'll comply but that he needs a gout tuber because he doesn't want to use his, hand it over to him. After a while, it'll be ready and he'll hand it over to you, now you need to marnate it. Talk to the female troll downstairs and she'll tell you that she needs proof, give her the flowers and she'll say she's glad, but needs a final proof, that being that she needs a statue of her, made with some of the highest quality wood. First make the base with the teak planks and then build the statue with the logs, she'll be very happy... Then burn the statue down and tell her you never loved her, she'll start crying and then you'll use the goutweed on her to marinate it.

Finally, take the ingredients to the cook again and he'll tell you that he needs assistance from you, then a cutscene of you helping him will appear, and after that, you'll finally have the cake!

If only it was so easy
Head back to Captain Jute and tell him you have the cake, he'll say that they need help luring the abominations back to the cake. You'll now be wielding the cake, meaning that you can't retaliate, and the abominations will be aggresive towards you, lure them inside the cave, it is reccomended you lure them in small groups as to not take much damage, due to the fact you can't eat to restore health.

After that, the shapeshifter will appear, mad that his plan failed, he summons his new most powerful minions... The gelatinous behemots!

You'll have to face 2 at the same time, 5 times. They have 15000 health each and attack with magic from afar and with melee in close range, both attacks having a slow speed but a high maximum hit of 2000 each. They also have a special attack where they'll stomp, creating a gelatinous pool around them, stepping on it binds you for 6 seconds and removes the effects of anticipation, while also putting freedom and anticipation on cooldown. Stepping on it deals 400 damage every 2 ticks, so it is reccomended to run away from it.

Once you're done, the shapeshifter will teleport away, chase him to the cave, where you will find a portal in the place where the book was.

Sticky situation once more
Enter through the portal, where you will find yourself inside of a gelatinous cave filled with goo that stops you from running, meaning you will have to walk through the first battle.

The Shapeshifter appears, annoyed that you keep defeating his minions, he decided to face you himself. He has a total of 95000 lifepoints and attacks with a ranged attack that can deals up to 3000 damage and has a 25% chance to bind you for 3 seconds everytime, he also has 2 special attacks.

* He will slam his hands to the ground and start summoning hands that deal rapid magic damage, similar to the hands in the final battle of Sliske's Endgame, 12 sets of hands appear, 9 on the location of the player and 3 on the tiles the player is going to step on, or again at the player's location if they aren't moving, in a pattern like this> 3 at the player location, 1 at the future location.

* He will summon two Culinary slimes, they only have 10 lifepoints, but they move at running speed and if they touch you they will deactivate your prayers for 10 seconds, stun you for 10 seconds and deal 2500 damage.

After getting him to 10000 lifepoints, he will teleport to your current location, bind you for the rest of the battle and start attacking with a rapid melee attack that has a minimum hit of 600 and a maximum of 3000, but will also lose all it's defence, defeat it quickly and then head through the door that has opened.

The final battle!
There you will encounter the Culinaromancer, who has grown tired of you meddling with his plans, and now is back, albeit a bit more shadowy than before.

The Culinaromancer has become much more powerful than the last time you faced him, having 125000 lifepoints and attacking with a fairly accurate magic attack that can deal up to 2750 damage, he also has a few tricks up his sleeve.

* He will yells "How about you share some of your food?" and eat one of the food items on your backpack, healing himself by double the amount it normally heals you and increasing his magic accuracy by 8%, if you have no food he will say "Bah! You just waste my time." and attack you for 1000 magic damage

* When he says "Deliciousness is POWER!!!" and start attacking you for rapid, increasing magic damage, starting at 85 magic damage and increasing up to 3000. To stop this, simply hide behind one of the pillars, he will exclaim "Don't you dare hide from me!" and teleport near you, resuming his normal attack pattern

* He will exclaim "Come forth my minions! Show this fool the meaning of pain!" and summon 2 of the bosses from Recipe for Disaster (Except for Flambeed and the Gelatinoth Mother), with only 2000 lifepoints, but increased damage

* When he gets to 62500 health, he will yell "Enough! Time to show you my true might!" and summon 4 taste catalysts, these cannot be attacked, but will attack you with magic damage with a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 400

* After that, he can also say "YOU'LL FEEL THE TRUE POWER OF CULINAROMANCY!" and start charging the catalysts, also some of he pillars will glow yellow, except for one, hide behind the non-glowing pillar, as the other will be destroyed from the attack and only partially protect from the attack. After he finishes charging the catalysts, they will explode, dealing a minimum of 6000 damage and a maximum of 9000 damage, if you hid behind the glowing pillars, you'll only take 2000-5000 damage, if you hid behind the non-glowing pillar, you'll only take 100 damage.

* After you get him to 1 lifepoint, he will yell "NO! I SHALL NOT DIE! I SHALL ENACT REVENGE ON YOU NO MATTER WHAT!" and will start charging an attack, after 20 seconds, he will make himself explode, but also instantly kill you. To avoid this, you must go back to the arena from the past fight and escape through the portal before he explodes, if you manage to do this, you'll have survived.

After this, head to Captain Jute, who'll congratulate you, and the Culinary Master will also say that he secretely stole a bite of the cake and loved it, claiming that he needs to know where to get more, after telling him of the steps, he'll go see the cook, but will reward you before that
