|items=&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Wily cat]], [[cat]], [[kitten]], or [[lazy cat]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Overgrown cat]]s won&amp;#039;t work as they do not hunt rats and a kitten is not recommended as the chance of them catching a rat is a low 5 percent compared to 50 percent for a normal cat, and will take longer to complete&lt;br /&gt;
* Up to 9 bowls of [[stew]] (If you make no mistakes, you will not need more than 9 bowls, following the instructions below)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Bucket of milk]] (Only if you wish to change your hellcat back to a normal cat)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Recommended&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Varrock teleport runes, charged amulet of glory, for quick transportation to Edgeville. Alternatively, [[lodestones]] can be used.&lt;br /&gt;

==Freeing Evil Dave==&lt;br /&gt;
*Inspect [[Evil Dave]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Head West of the [[Edgeville]] bank and talk to [[Doris]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Ask her either question, then head into the house&amp;#039;s [[Evil Dave&amp;#039;s Basement of Doom|basement]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Talk to Evil Dave and ask him what he ate at the banquet.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tell him the magic requires knowing what he ate.&lt;br /&gt;
*Talk to Doris.&lt;br /&gt;
*Head back tot he basement, right-click a [[Cat (race)|Cat]] and select &amp;quot;chase-vermin&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*When the cat catches a rat, spice will dropped. Pick up the spice.&lt;br /&gt;
*Do so until at least five doses of each of the four spices are collected.&lt;br /&gt;
*Make Dave&amp;#039;s [[Evil stew]] by combining doses of each spice on the [[Stews]].&lt;br /&gt;
**To find out the stew, use the following:&lt;br /&gt;
***This method is sort of like a game of [[Wikipedia:Mastermind (board_game)|Mastermind]]. The best strategy is to have lots of stew in the inventory (9 is the maximum players will need, barring mistakes). Have a cat catch hellrats to get spices. Spices can be [[red spice|red]], [[yellow spice|yellow]], [[brown spice|brown]], or [[orange spice|orange]], and may have from 1 to 4 doses per shaker caught. The perfect stew will have between 1 and 3 doses of each of the four spice colours.&lt;br /&gt;
***Figure out each colour separately. Use red as an example: Add one dose of [[red spice]] to a stew, and then ask Dave to eat it. If he says that one spice is right, stop and move on to the next colour. It will then be known that one dose of [[red spice]] will be needed. If he says that no spices are right, add two doses of red spice to the next stew. If two doses are correct, stop and move on to the next colour. If no spices are right, the answer must be three doses. Do not try out three spices, because using this method, players now know red must be three. Move on to another colour—starting with a single dose of that colour—and repeat this process through all four colours.&lt;br /&gt;
***After figuring out how much of each colour to put in the stew, use that much of each colour on one stew. This will be the &amp;quot;totally evil!&amp;quot; stew.&lt;br /&gt;
*After determining the right combination, have Evil Dave taste it and then click through all of the dialogue.&lt;br /&gt;
*Head to [[Lumbridge]] and give Evil Dave the stew.&lt;br /&gt;
*Subquest Complete!&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
