WELCOME

“The clues change during the week, that’s a fact,
They always show where the spies are currently at”.
Larry shouted “If no-one listens before it’s too late,
We’ll all be meeting with a very grim fate!”

Amaterasu123, Penguin Locations v25, p 30

For a long time Larry has been perceived to be more as one of the distractive factors on penguin hide and seek rather than a helper. I have come to another conclusion. Larry is actually helping us by telling where the penguins are at the time, but he only knows the current areas, not the disguises or where each penguin is from (areas of respawning).

After completing Hunt for Red Raktuber quest, Larry is replaced by polarbear Chuck.

With some quite intensive studying of the relation between clues and located penguins, I have been able to draw a sketch of areas for each clue. It is by no means yet final, lots of areas still need working on, not all clues are even known to me at the moment. But with the help of you, fellow penguin hunters, there might soon be more detailed areas and defined clue borders to help in keeping track with those unbelievably fast moving spies.

I welcome all discussion about clues and locations within the Forum rules and rules of Jagex. I would also like to remind you, that I may use any suitable information you post to fill in the missing parts of my sketches, with the due references of course.

This thread is in co-operation with Penguin locations v(xx) thread and Penguin Stuff thread. The owners of Penguin Locations v(XXX) and Pengun Stuff are allowed to use any part of my
posts if needed.

The list of weekly penguins and updated locations are found on
Penguin Locations v(XXX) threads
Interesting facts, theories and fiction of penguins are found on Penguin Stuff

Clues - "I've heard there's a penguin located somewhere in Runescape"

after. Jan 7th 2018 "somewhere in Gielinor"

Spot on. Quite a wide range but absolutely true.

A clue tells the current location of any penguin, not the general location of some certain penguin.

- there is no such thing as general location, although the first clues are close to respawn areas and can be seen as some kind of basic or home area clues for those certain penguins. Also some areas are closed and some are very big containing many cities and could be thought of being general in that aspect.

A clue is not attached to a penguin but it is attached to an area that gets active when the penguin is there.

- by this I mean that if Al kharid cactus penguin roams to Catherby and WWM rock penguin roams to Al Kharid, the cactus would make Larry give the near mountain of wolves clue and the rock would make Larry give the northern desert clue. But also, if Lumby bush penguin roams to Al Kharid, it would make Larry give the northern desert clue, and if Lumby would roam to WWM, Larry would give the near mountain of wolves clue.

In fact, I think Larry/Chuck doesn't give clues of penguins but clues of active areas. When a penguin crosses a border between these areas, the new area gets active and as a result Larry/Chuck gives a clue attached to that area.

There are 4 different types of areas for penguins considering the clues they can activate.

- Closed areas with no clue borders to cross --- one unchanging clue
- Closed aeras with one clue border --- two possible clues
- Closed areas with many clue borders --- many possible clues

- Open areas with possibility to roam --- many possible clues

Closed locations don't necessariliy get a clue of their own, but are within a larger clue area.
