Natural history quiz (2024)

"Quiz" redirects here. For the random event NPC, see Quiz master.

The natural history quiz is the basem*nt section of the Varrock Museum miniquest. It consists of 14 creature displays in which the player must answer 3 questions correctly in order to earn 2 kudos each for a total of 28.

Each of the rooms has a Natural historian who will give a lecture about each creature for which the quiz is based on.

To start the quiz, speak to Orlando Smith, who is located on the basem*nt floor in the centre of the room. Click on the plaque in front of a display to get a question. After answering 3 questions correctly, the quiz questions are replaced by the common name and scientific name of the animal.

Most of the answers are straightforward, and as you only need to get three correct a good approach is simply to have a go at the quiz. However all the answers are contained in the Natural historians' lectures and the sections of this article.

Orlando's message:

  • Correct: Nice job, mate. That looks about right.
  • Wrong: Hmm, I don't think that's right, mate. Try again.
  • Finished: Bonza, mate! I think that's all of them.
    • Note: After finishing the quiz for each display, the questions will no longer be available.
  • "This looks like some sort of quiz. I wonder if I can take part..." Getting this message means the player needs to talk to Orlando first.
Rewards

Once all questions are complete, speak to Orlando again to receive 1000 XP in both Hunter and Slayer. If this is the first Slayer experience you have received, you won't receive a free enchanted gem from the Slayer masters during your first assignment and will need to pay one coin for it instead.
