Step-by-Step Quest Walkthrough

Ready to help My Arm grow his goutweed? Follow these steps to complete My Arm’s Big Adventure without a hitch.

Starting the Quest

Head to the Troll Stronghold and speak to Burntmeat in the kitchen on the ground floor. He’s worried about My Arm’s health after eating a human and tasks you with teaching My Arm to farm goutweed. Accept the quest, and you’ll be directed to My Arm near the rooftop farming patch.

Teaching My Arm to Farm

1. Talk to My Arm near the Troll Stronghold rooftop. He’ll ask you to fetch goutweed from the kitchen storage.
2. Return to Burntmeat, who gives you a gout tuber after some comical dialogue about troll cooking habits.
3. Bring the gout tuber обратно to My Arm. He’ll need your help preparing the patch—use your rake, compost, and seed dibber to plant the tuber.

Traveling to Karamja

My Arm realizes he needs hardy gout tubers from Tai Bwo Wannai on Karamja. You’ll accompany him on this trip:

• Use 60 coins to sail from Rimmington to Karamja (talk to the customs officer).
• My Arm gets seasick—talk to him and then speak to Captain Barnaby in Ardougne to arrange a gentler boat ride back later.
• Head to Tai Bwo Wannai village and talk to Murcaily near the mahogany trees. He’ll give you hardy gout tubers after you clear some jungle (10% favor in Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame required).

Fighting the Rocs

Back at the Troll Stronghold, plant the hardy gout tubers with My Arm. Suddenly, a cutscene triggers a fight:

• Baby Roc (Level 113): Attacks with melee—use Protect from Melee and hit it hard.
• Giant Roc (Level 77): Uses ranged and melee—switch to Protect from Ranged and avoid its knockback attack.

After defeating them, My Arm finishes planting, and the goutweed grows successfully.

Finishing the Quest

Talk to My Arm again. He’ll thank you, and Burntmeat rewards you with a burnt meat surprise (don’t worry, it’s just the XP reward). Congratulations—you’ve completed My Arm’s Big Adventure!

Rewards and Benefits

The quest offers solid rewards that make it a must-do for OSRS players focusing on Farming and Agility.

Quest Rewards

• Experience: 10,000 Farming XP, 5,000 Hitpoints XP
• Access: Troll Stronghold herb patch, Troll Stronghold rooftop agility course
• Quest Points: 1

Post-Quest Perks

The herb patch is disease-free with supercompost, making it one of the best in the game for herb runs. The agility course, while not the fastest XP, is a scenic and low-effort option for training.

Tips and Tricks for Success

Maximize your efficiency and enjoyment with these pro tips for My Arm’s Big Adventure.

Combat Preparation

The Roc fight can catch you off guard—bring decent combat stats (50+ Attack/Strength recommended) and food like lobsters or sharks. Prayer potions help if you’re relying on protection prayers.

Farming Efficiency

Use supercompost instead of regular compost for a higher chance of the goutweed growing successfully. If you’re low on Farming levels, consider a boost like a garden pie (+3 Farming).

Travel Shortcuts

• Trollheim Teleport: Saves time getting to the Stronghold.
• Fairy Rings: Code DKR to Karamja for quick access to Tai Bwo Wannai.
• Ardougne Cloak: Teleport to Ardougne for the return trip with My Arm.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t let these pitfalls derail your questing experience in My Arm’s Big Adventure.

Forgetting Prerequisites

Double-check you’ve completed Eadgar’s Ruse—many players start the quest only to realize they’re locked out of key steps.

Underestimating the Rocs

The Giant Roc’s ranged attack can hit hard if you’re unprepared. Bring ranged defense gear (like dragonhide) and don’t skimp on food.

Item	Purpose	How to Obtain
Climbing Boots	Access Troll Stronghold	Buy from Tenzing for 12 coins
60 Coins	Sail to Karamja	Bring from bank
