Start Point:

Mos Le'Harmless.

To Start:

Talk to Brother Tranquility.

Instructions:

Take Bill Teach's ship from Port Phasmatys and travel to Mos Le'Harmless.
Note: Make sure you have Diving apparatus, Fishbowl helmet, 4 planks, nails, a hammer (the one in your toolbelt works fine), and a way to teleport to the Monastery (Edgeville lodestone or a Charged Amulet of glory).
Leave the ship and speak to Brother Tranquility near the gangplank - he doesn't look well.
Brother Tranquility will teleport you to a granary on the island Harmony, which is full of zombie monks. If you leave the granary you will be attacked by level 57 Zombie pirates.
Find the statue of Saradomin in the garden, push it, and then climb down. You will find a secret room with some stairs leading into water.
Equip your Fishbowl helmet and Diving apparatus and climb down. If you haven't got them in your bank then talk to Murphy at The Fishing Trawler mini-game for replacements.
In the pool are more zombie pirates. Make your way to the end, and click on "repair stairs". You will need 10 nails, 4 planks and a hammer to repair the stairs. This will take a little while and zombie pirates will continue to attack.
Once repaired, climb up the steps and then climb the ladder. Peer through the peephole and you will hear a conversation between Mi-Gor and the Sorebones. The zombie pirates are producing sleeping gas.
Return to Brother Tranquility and inform him of the plot. He will tell you to go to the Monastery to retrieve the Prayer book.
Use a Combat bracelet to teleport to the Monastery west of Edgeville. Go to the southwest corner of the Monastery and search the bookcase. You will find the Prayer book.
Equip your Holy symbol and return to Mos Le'Harmless. Speak again to Brother Tranquility, and once he has teleported you to the granary on Harmony island, recite the Prayer book. The effects of the gas will be negated within the granary walls.
Talk to Brother Tranquility again and he will tell to go to Castle Fenkenstrain to perform brain surgery on the monks.
Dr. Fenkenstrain will ask you to smuggle him out of the castle. He will tell you to speak to Rufus, who is in the food store in Canifis. He will give you 6 Crate parts for a meat shipment. Make sure you see the cut scene, talk to Rufus again if you didn't.
Note: You will need to equip your Ring of Charos (a) before talking to Rufus. He will give you a Wolf whistle to blow when the crates are ready.
Bring a hammer, nails, and the crate pieces back to Dr. Fenkenstrain. You will see a construction hotspot for the crate. Build the crate, then build the bottom of the crate using 4 more planks. Head to your house to make 10 Wooden cats.
You will need 10 planks and 10 furs. Once you have built the wooden cats using a Clockmaker's bench, head back to Fenkenstrain's castle.
Note: Before returning to Fenkenstrain's castle you need the following: a Diving apparatus and a Fishbowl helmet.
Put the cats in the crate, speak to Fenkenstrain, and then blow the Wolf whistle. You will see a cut scene with Rufus. He will give you a Shipping order.
Stick the Shipping order on the crate and it will teleport away.
Return to the granary on Harmony, then go down the ladder and talk to Fenkenstrain. He will tell you he needs a cranial clamp, a pair of brain tongs, three bell jars, at least thirty skull staples, and a hammer.
Head to the north side of the island to find the ship. You will still need to wear your Fishbowl helmet because of the gas. You will find the fuse( locker on the lower floor of the ship), keg, and tinderbox on the ship.
Go to the entrance to the barricaded monastery, just east of the Saradomin statue. Use the keg and fuse on the door, and the tinderbox on the fuse. There will be an explosion and you will be able to enter.
Enter and kill the Sorebones until you have all the items.
Return to Fenkenstrain and give them to him. There will be a short cut scene.
Go the bank and equip yourself for battling a level 210 monster, without using prayer. This monster cannot be ranged, but can be poisoned; therefore, you may also take a poisoned melee weapon with you.
Speak to Brother Tranquility and then talk to another of the monks to receive a blessing.
Return to the place where you killed the Sorebones to confront Mi-Gor. He will release a level 104 mechanical monster (BarrelChest) against you. Kill the monster without using prayer and then pick up the anchor. There are no ranging safe-spots in the room.
Return to the granary and speak to Brother Tranquility to complete the quest.

Congratulations! Quest Complete!

Talk to Smith on the jetty of Mos Le'Harmless and he will smith the anchor into a two-handed maul (a Barrelchest anchor) for 230K coins. Note: You must have the Book o'piracy for him to fix the anchor!

The blessed lamp gives you 5000 XP towards the skill of your choice.
