Scrambled! A Whirlwind Adventure in Varlamore’s Latest Quest

Alright, adventurers, buckle up for Scrambled!, the latest quest to hit Old School RuneScape with the Varlamore: The Final Dawn update on July 23, 2025. This short, zany adventure in the Tlati Rainforest’s Talkasti settlement is a blast, packed with quirky characters, a pet egg named Humpty Dumpty (yep, it’s as cute as it sounds), and a quick scrap with a dragon. Whether you’re a grizzled vet or a fresh-faced noob, this quest is a breeze to jump into and a fun way to dive deeper into Varlamore’s story. I’ve been questing in Gielinor for years, and this one’s got that classic OSRS charm with a side of laughs. Let’s break down everything you need to know to tackle Scrambled!, from getting started to snagging those rewards.

What’s Scrambled! All About?

Picture this: you’re in the lush, humid Tlati Rainforest, specifically Tal Teklan, helping a guy named Alan with a sacred pet egg called Humpty Dumpty. This novice-level quest is part of Varlamore’s big finale in The Final Dawn storyline, tying into the region’s ancient lore and setting you up for the epic Doom of Mokhaiotl boss fight. It’s not just about babysitting an egg, though you’ll mix up some batter, fend off a pesky dragon, and unravel a bit of Talkasti culture. The quest is quick, taking maybe 15 minutes, and it’s perfect for anyone looking for a lighthearted break from grinding. Plus, who doesn’t want a pet egg to flex in their Player-Owned House?

What You Need to Get Started

Scrambled! is super accessible, with minimal requirements that won’t scare off new players. Here’s the rundown in a handy table:

Requirement	Details
Quests	Finish Children of the Sun (a quick starter quest in Varrock Square with Noah or Alina to unlock Varlamore).
Skills	None! Total newbies can jump in.
Suggested Skills	– 10 Combat for an easy dragon fight. – 20 Cooking to speed things up (not required).
Items Needed	– Bucket of milk (grab during quest). – Pot of flour (grab during quest). – Egg (grab during quest). – 10 coins (for buying stuff).
Nice-to-Haves	– Quetzal Whistle (unlocked after 10 Hunters’ Rumours for fast travel). – Civitas illa Fortis Teleport (54 Magic, 1 Fire, 1 Earth, 2 Law Runes). – Basic combat gear for a low-level dragon.

Heads-Up: You can find most items in Tal Teklan, so no need to haul them from Lumbridge. If you’re short on coins, rummage through crates nearby for some loose change.

Kicking Off the Quest

To start, you’ll need to trek to Tal Teklan in the Tlati Rainforest, tucked west of Ralos’ Rise and north of Aldarin in Varlamore. Here’s how to get there:

Unlock Varlamore: Knock out Children of the Sun by chatting with Noah or Alina in Varrock Square. It’s a five-minute quest that opens the Shining Kingdom.
Get to Tal Teklan:
- Quetzal Whistle: If you’ve got one (after 10 Hunters’ Rumours), zip to the Hunter Guild and jog west.
- Teleport: Cast Civitas illa Fortis Teleport (54 Magic) to the capital, then head northwest to the rainforest.
- Fairy Ring: Use code CJS (needs partial Fairytale Part II) to land near the Hunter Guild, then go west.
- Old-School Trek: Walk from Civitas illa Fortis through the rainforest if you’re already in Varlamore.
Meet Alan: Find him outside the Tal Teok Temple north of Tal Teklan. He’s stressed about his egg, and you’re about to be his hero.

Chat with Alan, and boom you’re on your way to an egg-citing adventure.

Step-by-Step Quest Guide

Here’s my take on tackling Scrambled!, based on running through it myself. It’s short, sweet, and full of that OSRS humor we love. Let’s go!

Step 1: Chat with Alan

Where: Tal Teok Temple, just north of Tal Teklan.
What to Do: Talk to Alan, who’s freaking out over Humpty Dumpty, a sacred pet egg. He needs you to help keep it safe and sound.
What Happens: Alan hands you the egg and asks you to grab some items to whip up a special mix for it.

Step 2: Hunt Down the Items

Alan wants a bucket of milk, a pot of flour, and an egg to make a nourishing batter. You can bring them or scrounge them up in Tal Teklan:
- Milk: Snag a bucket from the general store for 6 coins, then milk a cow west of the temple.
- Flour: Buy a pot for 10 coins at the store, then fill it at the windmill nearby.
- Egg: Check the chicken coop east of the temple for a free egg.
Pro Tip: If you’re broke, poke around crates or barrels in Tal Teklan for coins. I found a few just lying around.

Step 3: Whip Up the Batter

Bring the items back to Alan. He’ll show you how to mix them into a batter to feed Humpty Dumpty.
If you’ve got 20 Cooking, you’ll breeze through this part. If not, Alan’s got your back with some trial-and-error guidance. Either way, you’ll get it done.

Step 4: Dragon Drama

Once you feed the egg, a juvenile dragon (level 20) shows up, thinking Humpty’s its own kid. Time for a quick fight!
Fight Tips:
- The dragon’s a pushover with low HP and a max hit of 3.
- Slap it with basic melee (bronze or iron works) or a magic spell like Fire Strike.
- If you’re super low-level, grab some meat from the Hunter Guild for healing.
Winning this fight keeps Humpty safe and moves the quest along.

Step 5: Back to Alan

Return to Alan at the temple. He’ll thank you for saving the day and share some cool lore about the Talkasti and their sacred egg traditions.
Extra Goodie: Pick up Alan’s bones south of the temple for some Prayer XP or to save for later.

Step 6: Wrap It Up

After a quick chat, Alan hands out your rewards, and you’re done! You also unlock a step toward the Doom of Mokhaiotl boss fight.

Time Check: The whole thing took me about 15 minutes, maybe 20 if you’re taking your time or gathering items on the spot.

Rewards That Make It Worth It

Here’s what you get for your egg-saving efforts:

Reward	Details
XP	– 1,000 Cooking XP – 1,000 Smithing XP – 1,000 Construction XP
Items	– Humpty Dumpty (a pet egg for your POH). – Alan’s bones (optional, found south of the temple for Prayer XP).
Unlocks	– Access to the Doom of Mokhaiotl delve boss (after finishing The Final Dawn). – A piece of Varlamore’s storyline, tying into the Twilight Emissaries and Old Ones.

The XP is solid for newer players, and Humpty Dumpty is a fun little trophy for your POH. The real draw, though, is getting closer to that Doom of Mokhaiotl fight, which drops some sweet loot like the Earthbound Tecpatl.

Why Scrambled! Is a Must-Do

I loved Scrambled! because it’s the perfect mix of silly and meaningful. The Humpty Dumpty gag had me chuckling, and the quick dragon fight felt just right not too tough, not too easy. It’s a great way to take a break from skilling or longer quests like Song of the Elves. Plus, it ties into Varlamore’s bigger story, dropping hints about the Old Ones and the Talkasti’s sacred traditions. If you’re into lore, this quest is a tasty appetizer for The Final Dawn. And let’s be honest having a pet egg in your POH is just plain cool.

Some Handy Tips

Travel Hack: Use a Quetzal Whistle or Fairy Ring (CJS) to cut down on travel time. Walking from Civitas illa Fortis isn’t bad, but why waste stamina?
Combat Prep: The dragon’s a lightweight, but pack a couple of shrimp or meat if your HP’s low.
Item Scrounging: Don’t bother bringing items Tal Teklan’s got everything you need.
Lore Nerds: Listen to Alan’s dialogue. It’s packed with tidbits about Varlamore’s history.
After the Quest: Grab Alan’s bones for some extra Prayer XP, especially if you’re an Ironman scraping for every bit.
