Follow this Old School RuneScape guide to help a Mountain Dwarf find his way home. Learn how to win the Hemenster Fishing Competition and get the trophy!

Alright, so you're looking to help out the Mountain Dwarves get back to their underground home? It's a pretty straightforward quest, but there are a couple of spots where you might get a bit stuck if you don't know what you're doing. Don't worry, I've got your back!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to the dwarf chilling just west of White Wolf Mountain. You know, the one north of Catherby. Your goal here is to convince him you're buddy-buddy. He'll then hit you with a request: win him the trophy at the Hemenster Fishing Competition.
  2. 2
    Next up, make your way to the Hemenster Fishing Competition. It's located southwest of Seers Village. Once you're there, find the guy in charge. You'll need to pay him 5 coins and show him your pass to get in. Inside, seek out the Sinister Stranger. Ask him if he's a vampire – he'll give you some silly denial, but trust me, he totally is.
  3. 3
    After that little chat, leave the competition area and find Grandpa Jack. He's the one who can tell you how to snag some decent fish around here. He'll let you in on a secret: red vine worms are the key to catching the good stuff near the sewer pipes. So, time to get those worms! Head north and follow the east wooden fence of McGrubor's Woods. On the northern part of this fence, you'll spot some 'loose pantlets'. Push through them, and you'll find yourself inside. Head west, and you'll see a red vine. Use your spade on it, and you should dig up some red vine worms. Grab a few, just in case you mess up later.
  4. 4
    Now, head back to Hemenster and get into the fishing area. If the guy in charge gives you grief about getting in again, just fork over another 5 coins. This is where the magic happens: use your garlic on the sewer pipe, and then start fishing right next to it. You're aiming to catch a carp. Keep fishing until you've got three fish. Once you do, the contest wraps up, and you'll be rewarded with the coveted trophy.
  5. 5
    Last step! Bring that shiny trophy back to the Mountain Dwarf you met at the beginning. He'll be super happy, and boom – quest complete! You've successfully helped him get back home.
Tips
  • Make sure you have a spade in your inventory before you go looking for the red vine worms.
  • Don't forget to bring some garlic with you to Hemenster. It's crucial for catching the carp.
  • If you get kicked out of the fishing competition, just pay the 5 coins again. It's not a big deal.
