Maggie the traveling witch is cooking up something spectacular in her cauldron, but she needs a little help finishing it off. If you can help her out – and solve a puzzle or two along the way – she just might share some of the final product with you.


Part 1:
Saving the Goulash

Step 1
Talk to Maggie.
Agree to help.

Maggie is located near Draynor Village. Tell her that something smells funny around here. She'll tell you that her broom needs enchanted to finish her goulash and asks you to take it to Hetty in Rimmington, Betty in Port Sarim, and Aggie in Draynor Village. Agree to help her and she'll give you a broom.

Step 2
Talk to Hetty.
Relabel crates and get newt.
Take newt to Hetty and get ointment.

Go first to Hetty in Rimmington. She's in the house with the cauldron full of a green, glowing liquid.

Zybez Runescape Help's Crate Room ImageHetty tells you she needs a newt. Go down the trapdoor outside her house. Talk to Gus. He'll tell you that you need to relabel the crates. Every crate's current label is wrong and you may only take one animal from one of the crates.

The solution is simple. Take a creature from the mixed crate. Label it as what you receive from that crate. Now you have 2 crates and 2 tags left. The 2 crates left are labeled wrong, determine which label goes on which. As soon as you finish, Gus will address you and give you a newt. Take the newt to Hetty who will give you broom ointment. Rub it on the broom.

Step 3
Speak to Betty and go down trapdoor.
Speak to Lottie and rearrange animals.
Get wand and take to Betty.

Head to the magic shop in Port Sarim and speak to Betty. Climb down the trap door and speak to Lottie. Tell her that you need to retrieve Betty's wand. She'll disclose that you must pick out the creatures and put them in the right areas, but you may not carry more than one at a time. Also, two creatures can't be in the same room as another, even if one is in your backpack. Failure to comply with this rule will result in one of the animals running away and you having to start over. The holding chamber is to be used to hold one creature at a time. Do note that it various per player to which creature needs switching.


The animals cannot enter the same room. This fact can be difficult to figure out at first. The same square area may not be occupied by two animals.

Move the creatures one by one by putting them in their correct surroundings. Right click the cage to see which animal belongs there and right click the animal to see what it really is. Switch them until they are in the right cages, as explained below.

  1. Move the Blackbird from the Blackbird Pen into the Holding Pen.
  2. Move the Rat from the Spider Pen into the Blackbird Pen.
  3. Move the Spider from the Reptile Pen into the Spider Pen.
  4. Move the Lizard from the Rat Pen into the Reptile Pen.
  5. Move the Rat from the Blackbird Pen into the Rat Pen.
  6. Move the Blackbird from the Holding Pen into the Blackbird Pen.

When this is done, open and search the chest; take the wand up to Betty. In other words, it's just like solving a big puzzle. You have to move them around to get them in the right places.

Step 4
Speak to Aggie.
Sweep away the lines of sand.
Speak to Aggie again.

Now head for Aggie in Draynor Village. Once she teleports you, speak to her again. You'll have to sweep away four of the sixteen lines of sand to make nothing but four small triangles. Use the picture below to see which lines to sweep away. Once your broom has been infused by the magic, ask Aggie to take you back to Draynor Village.

Step 5
Tell Maggie you've good news.
Stir cauldron and speak to Maggie.

Take the broomstick back to Maggie and tell her you have good news for her. Agree to stir the cauldron for her. Stir it and then talk to her again. Congratulations, quest complete!

You may now get 10 bowls of the goulash. When you eat it, you can pick a skill to get experience in. You will receive 10 times as much experience as your level (a level 50 skill receives 500 experience).
