Top tier guide, mister Strife! Your guide makes the boss look less scary ,which makes getting that assembler seem like much less of a hassle.

It's ridiculous how great this guide is. Thanks for appealing to the everyday OSRS player

Man, your guides have been the best. I've been able to do the Fight Caves and Vorkath on my first tries because of your detailed guides! I tend to get overwhelmed with too much information or things i don't understand but you explain them in such an easy way. Thank you Josh

From struggling to kill vorkath to now 5-0, this is hands down the most comprehensive yet straightforward guide on youtube. thanks!

Your guides are amazing. Clear, concise, and simplistic yet in depth Im using your Jad guide now, on my 5th attempt. Was previously trying on OSRS Mobile, now im on a laptop with a monitor so i should have an easier time. Thanks for all you do Josh.

Wow very thorough guide. I have 2k vork KC currently Some of the gear info is a bit dated as of 2022 - toxic blowpipe is still viable but not great, and you would use amethyst darts (which are the same middleground between price and effectiveness) Dragonfire Ward now gives a large ranged strength bonus, so it's highly recommended if you're ranging this boss. Another high recommendation is a dragon hunter weapon if you can afford it; they greatly increase kill speeds and profit but are still 70m+ Note that you can also melee vorkath, which is considered the current meta due to reduced supply cost. For melee vork, you would want to use a lance, as comparable stab weapons are much slower. That said, I started my first kc's a long time ago with just dhide, rcb, and anti-dragon shield and it was still over 1mil/hour so it's a great boss for midgame pvmers that will scale with your bank and levels.

This is hands down the best Vorkath guide on youtube. Thanks Josh!

Awesome guide! Very step by step so one doesn't feel too overwhelmed from hearing about everything all at once. Really good job.

Even after all these years I love all your OSRS content. The high quality, brilliant voice to listen to+ it was your guide that helped me to get my first fire cape. Vorkath only uses it's dragonfire bomb when he notices that ur not paying attention though :p

This is the best guide ever, thank you for calling out the other guides all saying you need elects void and a dhc you’re the real mvp ! Will be killing vorkath tonight using this guide!

you're amazing, thank you so much. you explained it perfectly. this is the best guide video i've ever seen maybe? i died on my first go, but stayed calm and got it on the second. now i can continue on with the quest!

Love the guide, but you should mention to first timers during DS2 that Vorkath will wake up as soon as you enter the arena. No pokes required.

thought i would explain this because you seemed to miss it in the guide, otherwise this guide is amazingly helpful, and actually helped me get my first vork kill (watching it made me always get your videos in my recommended btw, so congrats on that) bit late on this but vorkath maxes out with tier 3 dragonfire protection, so super antifire (2) + dragonfire shield (1) =3 Super antifire (2) + prey mage (1) =3 or Normal antifire (1) + prey mage (1) + dragonfire shield (1) =3 the reason you still get damage when on dragonfire protection 4 (super antifire (2) + prey mage (1) + dragonfire shield (1)) is because the fourth level of dragonfire protection actually does nothing, the only reason to stack all four is if you frequently forget to refresh your potion because while you will still get hit hard with protection 2 you will likely not get 1shot which can give you time to re apply your potion, however if you are wielding the shield it is simply more efficient to take a normal extended antifire as they last twice as long and will stop you from even needing to refresh the potion for multiple kills.

Thank you so much! Your Jad guide and now this one break it down soo easily for a beginner, and you give us a set up/guide that obviously is not the most efficient but you set us up with an understanding to become more efficient after a few kills or more gp!

Thank you so much man! Just finished my first 8 kills this evening and got the back upgrade!

Wow this is just like a real tv documentary you sir are amazing with your voice!

This is honestly the only guide I've found worth a damn. Everyone else just says "if you can't afford a blpwpipe, don't kill vorkath"

This is such a good guide dude

Thanks to you, I defeated Vorkath for the first time for the Dragon Slayer 2 quest in just one try. I was so nervous but I'm feeling more confident for next time when I try to defeat him again at level 732 lol. You are a godsend sir :')

Died about 8 times, couldnt figure it out. First kill after watching this and I did it! Counting out loud the attacks and knowing to turn around 2 tiles early during the poison phase were my key changes. Thanks for the great guide. I watched soo many other guides trying to figure out what I was missing and your version nailed it! Subscribed for sure!!! Dragon plateskirt first drop too =)

Bruh you’re vids are so nice and easy to follow why the hell are these not recommended to OSRS players more. Easy to follow and understand and the simplified build set ups and inventory set up are amazing.

Hey josh, Since your guides are the best, can you maybe make one on Zulrah? I’m trying to get diary. Thank you very much 😊!

@Josh Strife Hayes. You make the single best and most exquisitely detailed osrs guides ever. Ty

Best Guide Ever. Got me through my first kill, no questions asked!

I really need to thank you, before I watched your guide I got 6 kills in total while dying a good 15-20 times. After your guide I've just hit 110 KC & have only died a few times mainly from me being clumsy, so thank you very much 😁

got my first kill thanks to this guide, and im only 81 ranged, used bp aswell but with rune darts. thank you!

This is the best guide I've seen ever, not just vorkath, not even just runescape. Hands down the best in depth description of something I've seen. Liked and subscribed, its criminal for content this good to be free.

very good guide! Please add that for the Dragon Slayer 2 quest, Vorkath wakes up straight after you get in his lair1

awesome guide! did it on DS2 with my buddy just coaching me, this is 10/10

:) Although i'm not a vorky beginner anymore, I still like to watch these guides, thank u!

Thanks a lot for this guide, I use this setup all the time now, KC 70 and counting!

Thank you! This helped me get my first Vork kill post quest!

Best guide ive seen, deserves way more views!

your guides are the best man!! first you got me fire cape now im finishing dragon slayer 2 thanks to you i love you

I just came back to the game and this a a great help thank you so much!

One thing that I find helps a lot is playing with tile markers and/or the plug in that has a shadow appear wherever you drag your mouse over, this just helps you make sure you stay in a straight line during the acid pool phase which is what gives a lot of players problems. Nice guide man.

Love these guides! Can you PLEASE make a guide for ZULRAH!?!?!

Managed to kill Vorkath in DS2 thanks to your guide. Really really clear, for a beginner like me. Had some trouble because in the quest I didn't have to touch Vorkath for him to start so I had my potions late and forgot to pray, almost died but made it in the end, my first attempt. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Small correction at 20:42 , it is known as combo food. Tick eating is when you eat a food timed on the perfect tick so that the damage received is what was left of HP before. You end up with exactly the number of HP that the food heals for. From OSRS wiki "Tick-eating: Certain types of damage, particularly Ranged or Magic attacks are calculated prior to them being applied to a player's health. If a player heals before the damage is applied, they can survive attacks which would otherwise kill them. Although risky, it can be beneficial to preserve supplies or survive extremely damaging attacks (such as Sotetseg's energy ball) and, if done consistently, skilled players can use this to do activities that would otherwise require Prayer points or levels, such as the Fight Caves. As they are stackable, purple sweets are often used for this purpose, although any food can be used. However, tick-eating is not possible in PvP situations, and some bosses, such as Tz-Kal Zuk, do not allow for tick-eating and will deal full damage regardless."

Thanks again for the guide! I just finished my first kill for DS2. I've been watching a lot of your videos lately. How do you find the time to play so many MMORGPS, yet still play enough of a game like RS to make high level content? I'm blown away!

OMG Thank you SO MUCH!! He was really causing me issues in DS2, watched this guide, and used only 6 manta rays for the whole fight...was gonna grind elite void too. THANK YOU!!!!

Very, good, guide! just did ds2 then watched this, got 1 kc trip, then 2 kc, then 3kc trip :D Also wanna suggest people turn on runelites tile marker functions, so u know what the server sees. very handy for acid phase.

Top guide, thanks man. Only thing I'd change is calling tick eating advanced, it's probably the easiest manipulation to do on the game and the most useful thing to learn about. And I feel as though most players will have experienced tick eating at some point if they're up to Vorky. Edit: I also realise this isn't a tick manipulation video, just might be useful to slip a quick demo in and kill 2 birds with 1 stone

This is a very good guide will recommend it to my friends that still need to kill vork .

This is insane. I have not played Runescape in like 8 years and I SO want to go back and try this. On top of that I should have every item except that bloody necklace! Would make for a great swan song of my own.

Your guides are great! Very detailed. I got my first ever fire cape watching your had guide. Keep up the good work, you got my subscription.

Amazing guide, thank you so much for the effort.

I usually bring dragon cb with ruby bolts and diamond bolts. The ruby bolt spec can hit 100 and my pb is under 2 minutes. Keep ruby bolts until vorkath is over 50% hp, then switch to diamond because it is better max hit, than ruby spec.

very good and thorough guide! thanks!

So underrated! Great job helping new players!

Your Jad guide helped me get my first fire cape, I’m sure I’ll get my first vorkath kill after learning through this one!

Killer guide, mate! This should have so many more views!

Hey! I just wanted to say that you helped me get my first kill after more time than I would like to admit but thank you so much! Keep up the awesome work!

Super helpful, thank you for the assistance!

Thats the origunal guide.This is the 1st guide i understand properly love u so much man u r awsome so much thnx.keep it up

Going for the first kill, glad I found your guide. Super helpful and easy to follow up!

I'm awful at PvM, this video helped me finally get past Vorkath for the quest! tytytytyty

Finally a good guide for beginners. Everyone else using dhcb calling it a beginner guide

very high quality guide thanks g

Great guide mate! Hate to be that guy, but eating a karabwan and shark is called combo eating or double eating. Tic eating is eating food at the same tic that the dmg registers, so that you end up with the hp the food heals. That strat only works on a few types of attacks like zulrah, bloat drops and soteseg redballs, etc. Just a minor mistake in a otherwise fantastic beginers guide!!!

I love your guides man.

Amazing amount of info thanks

was failing to kill vorkath but after this guide you made it so easy thanks so much

Up next a ToB Solo entry mode raid! Your guides are the absolute best hands down 🙌

*Watched a quick ~5-minute guide: 'OSRS Dragon Slayer II - Vorkath with Noob Gear (85 combat 77 ranged)'* *Learned everything I needed to know, while blasting 'The Show' by Lenka* singing I'm just a little girl 🤣🤣🤣 *Killed it easily in my first few tries.* *I don't know why people are making unecessary long and boring videos for fights in Runescape lmao.*

God i cant wait to get passed the early game. This looks like so much fun T-T

BEST VORK GUIDE ON THE TUBE!!!! TYVM :)

Amazing guide, giving us bossing noobs hope as always.

best guide ever ! ! ! ! its like im watching national geographic right now lol

Excellent guide, definitely subscribing

Great guide - I do believe on Dragon Slayer 2 Vorkath attacks you as soon as you enter. Just a heads up whoever is doing the quest.

Thorough guide. Never heard of you before but this is quality and you just got a new sub.

Void armor is good here if you have decent defense

i would like to Emphasise the Importance of BGM in these types of videos, as a true gamer, I appreciate that

Hey Josh, I am just getting into bossing with my higher level friends and would love it if you could make GWD guides :) You do such an amazing job describing what I should know going in, and this would be so helpful! Thanks

Literally clicked off another vorkath guide when I saw Josh made one

thanks for another amazing guide i got the hang of vorkath thanks to this guide :)

Without a doubt, best guide for beginner Vorkath!

This was a great guide and helped me kill Vorkath for ds2. Got him on my first try.

Hi Joseph! Just wanted to say thanks for the guide. It helped me a lot. Other guides was not nearly as good as yours. Sincerely, theextremeviking.

Mannn can’t wait till I can do Vorkath!

best guide ever

Thank you so much, I didn't even know you make guides, I mostly watch other contents on your channel such as "worst mmo's" and why New World sucks (but doesn't have to) :D For anyone like me that is a bit cheap and wants to try with the dragon crossbow - don't. The toxic blowpipe is a game changer, because of the speed. You can get heavier hits with dragon crossbow + broad bolts, but because of the level of the enemy, you won't hit often enough anyway. So Toxic Blowpipe all the way! Thanks man!

great guide, thanks!

Please make a Zulrah guide!

thank you so much

Brilliant guide, I’m currently getting two kills per trip with blowpipe and using blessed d hide with bgs. I’m 88 range do you think I should switch to elite void?

Amazing guide

Great guide!

This guide is the fucking tops. Have my subscribe.

subscribed, thank you, keep making runescape content

Best guide out there

how is using the blowpipe for vorkath post nerf. is using a dragon cross bow with enchanted bolts faster? My Ranged is like 81 fyi

heyyyyyy,cool guide dude,very detailed

Bro tysm for the guide.

Honestly Josh, with the current state of mmorpgs and nothing really out right now worth covering at least until new world, I think you’d do well to keep making Osrs guides. I’ve maxed 3 accounts over the course of 16 years on the game, and would love to help or suggest ideas if you’d like!

Hope you make more osrs content you are a top notch creator if you mostly did osrs you'd be top of the pack!

you should remake this as prices have changed drastically

20:42 This is referred to as combo eating, not tick eating :) Tick eating is when you eat a food at the same tick as an attack that would have killed you, reducing the possible damage of the attack down to the hp of your player(slightly more advanced than combo eating)

Please make a zulrah guide
