Table of Contents:
To get started with this activity, head towards Murcaily, found near the Mahogany and Teak tree area who will provide you some basic information about this activity:
Once you've done this, you are ready to equip your machete and start doing some work around the village to gain favour!
There are three types of "jungles" that you can clear in order to obtain material to repair the village's fence:
- Light jungle: Requires 10 Woodcutting (32 EXP) to be chopped to produce Thatch spar light.

Your machete will be the most vital tool for you to use in this mini-game, without it, you simply can't do anything!
This is why it is a good idea to obtain a gem incrusted machete which grant faster jungle clearing speed, a must have if you plan to play the activity for a while:
In crecent order of speed, we have:

In a couple of words, there are two tasks to complete in order to progress in this activity.
The first one, is to collect the best kind of Thatch spars your woodcutting level allows you to obtain to repair the village fence. This is when a Beast of Burden might be handy: to store more spars for you! When you have collected enough, simply head to the crumbled village wooden barrier and start reparing it section by section.
The second task, is to protect the village from the threats that occasionally spawn while clearing up jungles, such as...
You might stumble across a tribal grave and awaken one of these restless spirits, and they won't be happy!
These are probably the most powerful opponents you will find in this mini-game, and while you can defeat them fairly easily with the appropiate materials, they are not to be underestimated. They can bind you and at the same time drain your combat stats, this why having a couple of Restore potions with you is recommended.
There are three types of Broodoo Victims you can encounter, and while they might look painfully slow to kill with a regular weapon, the secret to defeat them easily lies behind a couple of specific items! Each type of victim has a weakness for a certain consumable item, simply feed it to the victim to inflict critical damage on them.

As you might have guessed already, after you have defeated the victim, you'll be rewarded with the tribal mask that the victim was wearing.
These will show up either in groups of one, three, or five. One mosquito is level 13, three mosquitoes will create a total of level 17, and five mosquitoes a total of level 20.
Once defeated you will be rewarded with favour, a small amount of agility xp, and a certain amount (subject to the amount of mosquitos killed) of proboscis. This peculiar drop is used during A Fairy Tale Part I - Growing Pains quest, and also used in the creation of Spirit mosquito pouches with the Summoning skill.
Sometimes you might discover an enemy tribesman hiding in the jungle! He won't thank you for blowing his cover, that's for sure.
Although their combat level is relatively low, the danger of this encounter is not the tribesman itself, but the poisoned spear he uses! This nasty strong poison can deal up to 110 Lifepoints damage, so it could be potentially dangerous. This is were Antipoison potions or an Anti-poison totem becomes vital to optimize your chances of survival.
Although not very often, some sneaky snake might pop in to attempt an ambush! Just as the tribesmans, bush snakes can poison you, so be sure you have anti-poison mesures with you at times.
This challenge event is usually fancied by players as bush snakes will drop Snake skin used in the craft of Snakeskin armor, details of which can be found in the rewards section.
Aracnophobics beware, as a level 44 Jungle spider might as well come out of one of the jungles to engage a battle with you!
Once defeated, you will be able to collect its carcass which you can use along with a skewer to make a Spider on a Stick. If you have 16 Cooking or higher you will be able to attempt to cook this exotic dish to regain some lifepoints from the battle if you're low on food. Yum!
