Step-by-Step Guide To Complete the Tourist Trap

Speak to irena.

Osrs Tourist Trap Quest Talk wih Irena

To start “The Tourist Trap” quest, you need to find and speak to Irena. She can be found near the Shantay Pass, which is located south of Al Kharid. Approach Irena and engage in a conversation with her. She will share her concern about her missing daughter, Ana, who has ventured into the dangerous Kharidian Desert. Show your willingness to help Irena find her daughter by agreeing to assist her in the quest.

Prepare for the Desert

Before going to the desert, wear the Desert clothing set (shirt, robe, and boots) to protect yourself from the heat. Make sure your waterskin is full to stay hydrated. You can refill it by cutting cacti with a knife.

  • Equip Desert Clothing: Make sure to wear the full Desert clothing set, which includes a Desert shirt, Desert robe, and Desert boots. This clothing will protect you from the scorching desert heat and help conserve water.
  • Water Supply: Fill your waterskins before setting off. You can do this by using them on a water source or a bowl of water found at the Desert Mining Camp.
  • Bring Essential Items: Carry 1-3 Bronze bars, a hammer, and 30-50 feathers with you. These items will be needed during the quest.
  • Access to the Desert: Ensure you have a means of entering the desert. You can use the Shantay Pass, Desert Amulet 2, Teleport tablets or scrolls, Fairy rings, or the Pharaoh’s sceptre.
  • Recommended Items: If possible, have a combat level of 20. You should also have enough inventory space to unequip all combat items at the start of the quest, particularly after the Mercenary Captain’s death. Carry 1-2 full waterskins and a knife or slash weapon to refill them by cutting cacti. Stamina or energy potions can be helpful for the journey.
  • Financial Backup: In case you make wrong choices during the quest or get caught in the mines, have 100 Coins to bribe the mine cart driver or a pickaxe to mine 15 rocks for escape.
  • Caution for Ironman Players: If you are an Ultimate Ironman, ensure you have two empty slots in addition to unequipping your armor and weapons. Failing dialogue will require 15 empty inventory spaces.

Fill Waterskins

Make sure your waterskins are full and ready to keep you hydrated during the journey. You can refill them by cutting cacti with a knife or slash weapon.

Follow Footprints

Osrs Tourist Trap Quest Follow the Footprints

To find footprints, head south from the Shantay Pass. Look closely on the ground for marks left behind by someone’s footsteps. These footprints will guide you on your quest to find Ana. Follow the footprints to reach the Desert Mining Camp, where your adventure will continue. Stay observant and focused to track down the missing person.

Mining Camp

This camp is guarded by mercenaries, so be cautious and wear your slave outfit to blend in. Inside the camp, you will find important items and encounter challenges. Explore the camp carefully and interact with the characters to uncover the truth and find Ana.

Talk to the Mercenary Captain

Osrs Tourist Trap Quest Talk to the Mercenary Captain

When you are inside the Mining Camp, your next step is to talk to the Mercenary Captain. He is a key figure in your quest to find Ana. Engage in conversation with him and try to gain his trust. He might ask you to kill a bandit leader, but just tell him you can’t do it.

Then, say something funny, like a joke about a captain who can’t fight on his own. This will make him laugh and get distracted. While he’s distracted, quickly unlock his chest to get what you need without him noticing.

Remember, if you attack him without being prompted, his guards will attack you and cause you problems.

Defeat the Mercenary Captain:

To defeat the Mercenary Captain, you need to be prepared and careful. First, ensure you have unequipped all your metal armor and put on desert clothing to survive the heat of the desert. Then, engage in a conversation with the Mercenary Captain, but do not attempt to attack him until prompted in a text box.

When the text box asks if you are sure about attacking, proceed to fight and defeat him. Once you defeat him, take the metal key he drops. It’s essential not to attack him before the prompt, as his guards will swarm you, take your water, and deal significant damage to you. So, make sure to follow the prompt and defeat the captain to proceed with the quest.

Enter the Desert Mining Camp:

Osrs Tourist Trap Quest Enter the Mine Camp

To enter the Desert Mining Camp, you need to ensure you are wearing only your desert clothing and have unequipped all slave robes. If you have defeated the Mercenary Captain as instructed earlier, you can enter the camp through the front gate using a metal key

The plans [ ]

Go back to the Desert Mining Camp. (You might have to kill the Mercenary Captain to obtain the Metal Key again). Again, ensure that you have no armour or weaponry equipped upon entry. Enter the building to the north. Climb up to the ladder to where the captain is and search the southwest bookcase to learn he has an interest in sailing. Try to open the chest and he will notice you, and you'll be given a number of options on how to distract him.

  • Before talking to him you need to search all the bookshelves. Start with "I wanted to have a chat?" He will insist that you leave. Next say "You seem to have a lot of books!" He will reply and agree that he does. Now say "So you're interested in sailing?" and he will perk up and say that it's been a passion of his for most of his life. Finally, reply "I could tell by the cut of your jib." Saying this will flatter him and he'll begin rambling off about sailing stories and will be distracted enough for you to unlock his Chest and steal the blueprints.

Head back to the surface again and go to the winch in the southwest corner ( Do not take off your slave robes as you will be thrown in the underground cell and forced to mine 15 rocks). Operate it before searching the nearby barrel to retrieve Ana. Then, go put her in the cart nearby. Now, you need to talk to the cart driver.

In order to get out, tell the cart driver the following phrases:

  • 3. "Well, you see, it's like this..."
  • 1. "Prison riot in ten minutes, get your cart out of here!"  (you could also choose to bribe the driver instead)
  • 2. "You can't leave me here, I'll get killed!"
