== Official description ==
{{cquote2|The mountain dwarves' home would be an ideal way to get across White Wolf mountain safely.

However, the Dwarves aren't too fond of strangers. Austri and Vestri will let you through the tunnel under the mountain, however, if you can bring them a trophy. The trophy is the prize for the annual Hemenster Fishing competition. }}

===The Dwarven Tunnel===
Talk to [[Austri]] or [[Vestri]], dwarves that are stationed near caves to the east and west of [[White Wolf Mountain]]. A conversation ensues where you ask what is through their caves; they will refuse to tell you. Tell them that if you were their friends you would let you go down the stairs, and offer to become friends. To gain their friendship, they want you to win in a fishing contest in the town of [[Hemenster]], so they can have the gold trophy. They give you a [[fishing pass]] for entrance. They mention that if you bring the trophy back to them, they will give you access to the [[White Wolf Mountain|tunnel shortcut]] underneath the mountain.

===Help from the Champion===
The quickest way to [[Hemenster]] is to take the Seers' Village Lodestone teleport and run Southwest. It is just between the [[Ranging Guild|Ranged]] and [[Fishing Guild]]s. Make your way there and go inside the northern-most house, where you must speak to [[Grandpa Jack]]. He tells you how he won the contest for four consecutive years. The good spot is the outflow pipe where the [[vampyre]] is. He also tells you to fish with [[red vine worm]]s as bait, which can be found in [[McGrubor's Wood]], and that you should get garlic (in Seers' Village north of the prayer altar) to get rid of the [[Sinister Stranger|vampyre]], who has claimed the fishing spot as his own.

In order to get the vine worms, go to McGrubor's Wood, an enclosed forest located west of [[Seers' Village]], and directly north of [[Grandpa Jack]]. The entrance gate lies on the southern side, but when trying to enter, the [[Forester]] will angrily send you away, claiming it is private territory. Fortunately, there is a loose railing in the northern part of the fence, on the eastern side of the alcove by the little hut. Go around the forest and squeeze through it.

Once inside, level 44 [[Guard dog]]s attack you if you get close enough to them. You must locate the red vines, which are west of the [[Fairy ring]] (A-L-S) near the western fence. Use your spade on them and collect at least 3 red vine worms for the contest. Once you've taken the red vine worms, grab some garlic in Seers' village where it respawns on a table top in the small building with the range in it, south of the road and east of the Seers' Village Lodestone. Make sure you have the garlic on hand when you enter the competition.

===A stranger from Sanguinesti===
[[File:Where to put Garlic.png|300px|thumb|Place garlic here.]]
Exit [[McGrubor's Wood]] through the loose railing and go back to Hemenster. Once there show [[Morris]] your [[fishing pass]]. You need to pay a one-time entrance fee of 5 [[coins]]. Do so and you will be ready to go and enter the fishing contest. ''Note:'' If you fish before you put the garlic in the pipes, you will get [[raw sardine]]s and lose the contest to the Stranger. Speak to the [[Sinister Stranger]], who behaves suspiciously [[Vampyre|vampyre-like]], about switching fishing spots, which he refuses. Therefore he must be lured away. As vampyres hate garlic, it can be used to get rid of him. Put the [[garlic]] into the [[wall pipe]]s next to the vampyre. He will complain about a horrible smell and will agree to change places with him.

===The Fishing Contest===
[[File:Fishing giant carp.png|thumb|left|Fishing for the giant carp.]]Speak to [[Bonzo]] or attempt to fish at your spot to start the contest. While having the worms, keep fishing until you hook a fantastic [[Raw giant carp|giant carp]], ending the competition. Hand the carp over to Bonzo. Because your fish is so unique and large, you are the winner of the Fishing Contest! You are congratulated and awarded the [[fishing trophy]]. To complete your task, make your way back to Austri or Vestri and give him your trophy. The dwarves will be happy and from now on allow you to use their underground passage.
