Runescape - Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf Quest Guide
Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf Quest Guide
Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf is part 2 in the Rise of the Red Axe series, focussing on the dwarves and their capital city of Keldagrim. After the events in The Giant Dwarf, the Red Axe mining company has departed the city and set up a new headquarters in a remote underground location
Veldaban, the Commander of the Black Guard in Keldagrim, wants you to investigate the case and find out if the Red Axe is planning anything nefarious. The problem is, the only lead he's got is an extremely drunken and kebab obsessed dwarf.
Use your farming and brewing abilities to your advantage, then prepare to be perplexed by puzzles as you follow the trail to the Red Axe...
Go to Keldagrim. To get there, go through the Cave entrance north of the mine east of Rellekka. Then, go through the Cave entrance to the east. Talk to the Dwarven Boatman, he will take you to Keldagrim.

Once in Keldagrim, go to the western side of town. You will see a building with a dark red floor just east of the bank. Go inside and talk to Commander Veldaban.

You will be shown a short movie clip. Then you will appear at the house of the Drunken Dwarf that Commander Veldaban told you about. Go inside and talk to him about the Red Axe.

Go north to the Pub/Bar. There will be a Rowdy Dwarf wondering around, talk to him. He will ask you for an item, The item he asks for is random. (For me it was broken glass. You can find broken glass north, in the building with the Drunken Dwarf.) (NOTE: If you log out or get disconnected while getting the random item, go and talk to him again, the item he asks for will change.) Once you have the item, talk to him again.

Go just east, you will see a Kelda Hops Patch. Talk to Rind the gardener, walking around nearby. He will tell you about growing the seeds. Use a rake with the patch (if you need a rake, there is one in the building with the red floor south of the patch). Then, use the seeds with it and then use the Watering Can with it. You gain about 9 exp for planting the seeds. And now, wait for the Kelda Hops to grow.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
While you are waiting for the hops to grow, you can do tasks for some of the people in town. They will reward you for your time. If you talk to Rind the gardener again, he will give you seeds if you deliver a letter to a friend in falador. This is not necessary, just a time killer. (For me, it was a letter for Elstan. He is the local gardener at the farming patches south of Falador. My reward was 2 Herb Seeds.)
Step is Complete.

Once the hops are grown, you will get a message saying perhaps you should take a look at them. Click on them to harvest, you get about 10 exp for harvesting the hops.

Head to Keldagrim-East, go to the second floor of the Pub/Bar, the Laughing Miner. Talk to Blandebir, ask him about ale yeast, buy a potful (25gp). (There is a pot in the room if you need one.) Now you are going to brew the Kelda Stout.
Use the Buckets of Water with the Fermenting Vat
Use the Barley Malt with the Fermenting Vat
Use the Kelda Hops with the Fermenting Vat
Use the Ale Yeast with the Fermanting Vat
Now wait for it to ferment. It seems to take about 10 minutes. When it is ready, you will get a message saying perhaps you should look at the stout. Turn the Valve on the pipe connecting to the Fermanting Vat. Use the empty Beer Glass with the Kelda Stout in the barrel near the vat.

Go north, back to the Drunken Dwarf. Talk to him, you will give him the stout. He will tell you his tale, which goes on for a bit, the screen will fade in and out skipping unimportant parts.
