Settled in 2025: "I will be the first Karamja locked nightmare mode ultimate tileman to ever complete the Inferno blindfolded. I've boobietrapped my computer to explode if I take damage, so if I die in game, I die for real"

Dude this video deserves MAJOR props for not spoiling what happened. You sold this video throughout as just another episode, but no! Now we know we're never safe while watching. Great job.

The second half of the video taking place over the span of only 24 hours is absolutely insane. I’m so invested in this series.

Here's another way you can train muscle memory for panic clicking the teleport. Open up one of those [10 hours broken up by metal pipe falling] video's and play it in the background. You hear a metal pipe, you teleport.

My heart dropped and shattered when that scorpion came at you hot.

I have never played or heard of this game. I watched "Runescape, but taking damage deletes my account permanently" from KZfaq home suggestions. Two weeks later I almost finished "Tileman: 2,500 Hours, 1 Tile at a time [FULL SERIES]". Yesterday I was on Reddit trying to decide whether or not to jump in. Kudos to your amazing storytelling and editing skills, because making an 11 hours (and 17 minutes) video that isn't boring is an Oscar-winning task!

I like how we hear Settled yell "I'm sorry, I had to do it!" from far away as he runs away right after announcing the cliffhanger.

I'm standing there watching the death and listening to you talk about it dude, and waiting for the "And that's what would have happened if I didn't test every quest on an alt before running it on this character". And then realizing oh... oh no... he was just trusting the quests to be how they used to be :(

Lmao them yelling scorpion to panic train you is hilarious

Dude when it happened my honest reaction was that you just pranked everyone. Absolutely shook. I’m hooked. Cant wait to see what happens next.

Dude takes a loss that cost him weeks and 107 other accounts to get and just bounces back in a day... damn. A man of dedication and sheer freakin' will... I don't think I could ever do this hardcore of a challenge but it's inspiring to say the least. Settled your a legend, never change bud.

Dude it hurt SO MUCH, but the montage of your friends yelling "SCORPION" to train you was so wholesome. I truly love that, excellent content, great balance.

Not seeing an upload Wednesday hurt more than being single on Valentine's Day.

Settled is never late, he arrives precisely when he means to

Jad is within the scope of possibilities, but cave bugs are where we have to draw the line 😂 this game will always be amazing as long as you have endless creativity.

9:48 That pained "No!" really says it all. I couldn't ever do something like that myself but losing it all to something like that is just... good grief. What makes me more shocked is that you are going to keep going after that and as long as it takes until an 100 hour account... good luck.

Gonna be honest, the last thing I expected to happen was settled being Pavlovian conditioned with the word “scorpion”. I guess there’s a first time for everything.

"I'm sorry, I had to do it!" On the back end of a cliffhanger does not make it okay, Settled! D: How am I gonna wait almost a whole week for that???

also shoutout to the contrast between the RS subscription tab on youtube: Framed: "I can hit a 72" Settled: "I have 1 HP"

There was another way to do the Thieving without any risk at all, you could do X marks the spot for the free exp lamp, the client of kourend if you can navigate the NPC's safely for the additional lamps, then use them on Thieving and move to the varrock tea stall for exp without risk of damage, moving to cake stalls if wanting a better rate after that. Failing that, when looking into the viability of that there was also tower of life, could do daddy's home mini quest get to 10 construction, then do tower of life for 500exp to get to 5 thieving then back to stalls for safer exp gain without risk of damage. May also unlock a tedious but doable money maker of buying and selling silk :)

The death reminded me of the first time I saw Ned stark get killed. I was sat here thinking “ah I’m sure it’s just a joke” 😂

I don't know that I'd mentally be able to play a game like this with the knowledge that I'd just... die, with a single hit

That's some bullshit, that fade to black and immediate engagement with Scorpion was a total surprise and given the sneak update I'm impressed you stuck with it. That's the pain of nightmare mode, but that's why it's so intriguing to watch! Love that you kept the bow strings this time😂

so i know you said you were sick that week but what i really think happened was you were protecting us from the heartbreak of being single on valentines day AND the heartbreak of this. thank you settled. we all owe you one

"Getting a slayer task I can't do would run my slayer journey right into the ground" Yes, Settled, because we've NEVER seen you train Slayer without being able to do tasks before...

Top tier content, cant even believe the last 5 minutes. You sir are dedicated

not that settled is going back to railings, but I was curious so I did some optimizing: After getting 2 railings fixed, do the murder mystery quest for level 11 crafting. Then after 4 railings fixed, get level 28 crafting. Then after 5 railings fixed, get level 36 crafting (doesn't matter too much). The idea is that it takes a certain amount of time to reach a threshold (for example, getting to 2 railings takes about 100 minutes on average), so then it's worth getting a bit of a higher crafting level. It's like 40% more efficient than a strategy of not getting any crafting levels at all. But it's still absolutely hellish, requiring about 43 hours of gameplay on average, and a lot more murder mystery. anyway I'm so shocked at how settled bounced back, truly inspiring courage!

My man truly apologized, "I had to," to the greatest cliffhanger ever. You're so awesome. I'm eagerly awaiting the upcoming episode.

Love that your training method for the Chronicle use was just having your friends basically troll you! I'm sure J1mmy and Framed were delighted!

Amazing video once again! I suggest enhancing the Heat Map by transitioning the color from red to green either at the conclusion of each episode or when you reach a specific Combat Level. This change could signify reaching a point where you no longer need to concern yourself with specific monsters in an area. It would add an enjoyable visual element to illustrate the progression of your account. Can't wait to see Phase 1 completed - this is the best series in a while on KZfaq!

ah yes, back to the familiar feeling of wishing i found this series next year so i could binge watch it all in one go

Ahhhh the Stealth Update horrors! Your tenacity and devotion is inspiring, how well you bounce back is beautiful. Good luck my dude! Also, really like the 100 hour restriction. In challenges like this, having a get-out clause is important, and this is a good one. Nice idea, and will get us even more emotionally invested!

I can't imagine doing something like this without having a second account that tests every action before running the nightmare. that Scorpion jumpscare is brutal

The update to Fight Arena was done because it was an old quest that is a prerequisite for Secrets of the North/DT2. Jagex did something similar with Underground Pass when they released Song of the Elves, as well as Contact! when they released Beneath Cursed Sands. So unfortunately you can't rely on old quest walk-through videos for those quests.

Fun fact, the quest where you rescue ali also was updated you could get the key mold at any moment before now you need to be in the excat quest step, this scrambled some speedrun routes.

Bro.. I’m not sure why I’m so invested in this series already, but my heart sunk when you died! Shows just how crazy this concept is lol.. Love it.

I love that your friends helped you learn the muscle memory to teleport by randomly yelling a trigger word LOL

We're gonna need a heart rate monitor for this series

Settled, you’re the man. I feel like every new series is a new high. It always starts as something I’m kinda meh about and then you rope us in with the story. Keep up the good work!

9:38 - I just KNEW something was about to happen when I heard settled get worried like that... the man knows everything about the game so if you hear him concerned, there is definitely reason for concern! Fs in the chat for 108!

Interesting to note that the footage is over a month old. Dated by the Stray Dog wearing the Santa hat. I wonder how far you've got since then - not going to look it up as that would spoil the fun! :)

Honestly I think this death is great for the series overall. The stakes feel so much more real now

Man... Congratulations for your resilience. The fact that dying just made you want it more and try harder says a lot about you. Im inspired to try again. Thanks

That death made me gasp like I never have before. Why does this series feel like a thriller on Netflix 😂

My stomach sank at that scorpion death, that must've felt awful. Crazy how quick you bounced back on the fresh account though, hopefully this one will be the one!

I am ashamed to admit I used to smith iron bars (without rings of forging) at that Ardy furnace back in the day. Took me way back when you pointed out that furnace.

9:49 I loudly gasped when this happened, I'm amazed you weren't completely crushed by this - yet you just carried on with a new strat. "It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward" - absolute admiration Settled

watching that death to the scorpion was hard to watch, the frame that I saw it I knew what was coming his way. I don't know how you do it Settled, you're a totally insane man, I would've given up so long ago. You truly are an absolute beast of a OSRS gamer. I thought Swampletics accidental death was bad, this mode takes it to the next level and upon each death it feels so upsetting to see it happen. Its so much grinding that I don't think any more than a 100 people will try this challenge and only a dozen or so will genuinely complete this challenge without giving up out of frustration because of the meticulous testing, skill required, insane calculated movements and tedious gameplay. Keep it up Settled! I cant wait until you complete your first goal, the second and third will be even more hype, I cant wait to see where this series ends up going, don't give up we all believe you can do this cause you're just that insane of a OSRS player, definitely one of the best players out there, your achievements and challenges are nothing to scoff at, they are huge unimaginable achievements that so many people doubted you could complete just to show them whos boss.

Well if they can update fight arena, they can update dwarf cannon to where at a certain crafting level, you stop failing the railings, kinda like some agility obstacles/courses.

"what an absolutely insane upgrade for me. That's rarer than repairing 5 railings in the dwarf canon on your first try." Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system.

Found your channel when KZfaq recommended the first tile man episode to me. I’ve never played ruinscape in my life but I’ve watched every episode the same week of release since then. Your work is incredible! Keep it up buddy

what and emotional roller coaster. I thought it was all over....then you build back up and leave us on a massive cliffhanger. Well done haha.

I barely play Runescape with little more than "Hey, this seems good to do.", and here you are doing these giant missions such as Tileman. Amazing work!

Guaranteed that update happened when they updated all the "Deadman mode" quests in the monkey madness quest line

Love this series so far. Who would've thought the animation transitions in Fight Arena would ever mean so much to so many people. Excited to see what other quirky challenges this series provides!

This was foreshadowed in episode 2 when he said "hey there scorpion, mind if I just go around?"

The power of this series has altered the fabric of reality. Time has rolled back to Wednesday, and now I have two more days of work before the weekend. Thanks Settled!

9:48 my jaw dropped dude D:

I absolutely love these videos. Keep them coming. Well done on making lowlife 109 even better than 108 so quickly too! I can’t wait to see you wearing that fire cape.

The way I was ready for a bombshell stealth patch to add a small chance that petting the dog too many times will result in it biting you.....

I was worried when a new episode didn't come out on Wednesday. Glad to see you're still going at nightmare mode

YOU CAN TRAIN ALL MELEES WITH NO SKILL REQS AND NO RISK OF DAMAGE! I'm sure everyone has experienced the imp that doesn't fight back, but south of the tree gnome village maze there is a spot that can stack up to 4 non retaliating imps in the area at a time. All imps that get caught there, west of the watchtower wall and south of the maze, do not fight back. Ever. I've been running a chunk account out of that chunk and killed nearly 1k without ever taking a single point of damage from them. Even just half an hour hopping worlds there would sky rocket your combat level and really take down some of the danger of that heat map.

My mans really said “sorry, I had to” to the biggest cliffhanger ever….youre so amazing. I can’t wait for the next episode.

Did a double take when that scorpion smacked you. Was NOT expecting a death so soon.. lookng forward to next week, already 2 days closer

Ogresses at corsair cove are easily safespotable, give prayer xp, and give loads of loot while also giving ranged xp. They would be your best money making method.

Oh man. I KNOW the feeling of immediately wanting to get back to where your hardcore character just died at. Ive done it on hardcore diablo and no death souls runs - your brain LOCKS IN and youve very much in the zone, and when you fuck it up, you like immediately want to get back to it

It's worth noting that random events reward you with xp lamps after receiving the full outfit for that random. Might be your safest path for thieving xp until lvl 5 when you can safespot the cake stall in ardy standing under the seller. Make sure you do all your random events while wcing my brotha!!!

I played RuneScape for about three hours 15 years ago. I can't say that I even like the game, but I just can't stop watching these videos! They are so entertaining and you are a really good storyteller! Keep up the great work!

The chronicle tele exercise had me dieing 😂

So glad you are continuing this serie! when there was no episode on wensday I thought the worst had happend (you giving up) but so glad we are still here! Keep up the great work!

Seeing that this video released on Wednesday, I knew something was up, but seeing it was still a different story. Crazy you got caught up with things so quickly again. Fantastic content as always!

Babe wake up, Settled just uploaded!

The 100 hour rule seems designed to wrap the series up pretty quickly. It was an interesting premise and I am excited to see what project you will work on next.

Man I was absolutely gutted on that death, can only imagine how you must’ve felt. So sry.. this does prove tho ur the absolute King! Bouncing back even harder! Can’t wait to follow your journey!

Hello Mr Sett Led, Just voicing some feedback about the “If my account reaches 100 hours that’s the final account” rule. Personally I was attatched to the idea of seeing how many accounts it’d take WHEN you reach goal 3 instead of IF, although I understand not wanting to commit possibly hundreds of hours only to lose it over and over again. It’d also probably be hard to make interesting recaps of getting back to those several hundred hours with weekly uploads. Though I will say I’d be down for the viewing experience of getting sent back to earlier steps of the series. Not a fan of this new stipulation BUT I will still watch with glee and delight thank you mr set tled

that scorpion scared me so much haha

we all thought he was joking when he said during tileman he would release an even more masochistic rs series in 2024…

Coincidence lead to this one being an extra roller coaster for me. I needed to pause the video halfway through to deal with something and paused it right during the scorpion story. I thought to myself "Oh, this sounds bad. I might come back to him dying. How much time is left in the video anyway? Oh! We're only halfway in. He's just playing up the danger for dramatic effect." then I went to take care of what I needed to, come back and "...Oh. He actually died."

As I've done level 90 magic from the library on my hardcore group ironman, glad you found it to help you get through the early start point safe, and sound after that brutal restart

Rest in peace LowLife108 💔 Loving the series, you are the absolute king of OSRS challenges mate.

13:37 "Better ingredients. Better pizza. BETTER BITCHES. BETTER MONEY. MY CLOTHES BETTER. MY SHOES BETTER. I WORK HARDER." -Settled 2024.

My heart dropped completely when that scorpion got you. I haven’t been so invested in a youtube series since the og red v blue

Putting what happened here aside, I hate when jagex changes old quests like this, unless it’s to fix a game breaking bug. I don’t understand what they gained from a change like this. Another example is recruitment drive.

I am soo invested. In you. In the series. I literally put my hands on my head and dropped my jaw at the scorpion and then immediately started to get goosebumps and roll on my bed when you started to pick it all back up again. No matter what happens we will be here to experience this journey with you. Till the end 🔥

You should ask Rendi if he wants to help you solve some of this stuff, hes done similair crazy accounts before and has alot of knowledge that should be usefull for your series, gl with the next one!

"I'm sorry, I had to do it!" Yes you did, you mad lad, and I'm going to be itching for the next Wednesday episode.

I want to make it very clear that I will watch anything you make because YOU are awesome, not because I personally love Nightmare Mode. I hope for your next series you don't feel pressured to ramp up the difficulty even more. I love your work; you have singlehandedly made runescape more fun. But I don't personally need that fun to be derived purely from masochism. You are an incredible content creator and you don't need the crutch of "I do difficult runescape challenges" to succeed. I will always watch your stuff because it's fantastic. But I hope you know that your community loves YOU and that you don't HAVE to make your content as difficult as humanly possible for people to enjoy it.

literally laughed so hard at your friends yelling scorpion so you could tele

this challenge series will single handedly inflate bond prices irreparably

The emotion I felt for you in that moment. I’m blown away by your ability to create content that is entertaining and where I feel that level of empathy.

I’m absolutely hooked, so excited to see the theory crafting on this series, you got this!

I was dying when this wasn’t uploaded on Wednesday

I havent been checking if a new episode dropped THIS BAD since GoT

Grrr cliff hanger!!! I could binge the shit out of this. I took a break. This series has single-handedly is going to make me resub to RS. To enjoy the game in a slower way. Not doing this mode, but just your enjoyment has led me to appreciate the journey

As soon as I saw you going for that quest, I knew it would be the one to end you. I took so many hits from that quest trying to get to safe spots, it's just not safe and you can have those guys on you before you can even click.

I'm guessing your plan to complete Dwarf Cannon involves animation stalling? I'm not sure how you'd use animation stalls to nullify damage but that's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Babe wake up settled uploaded

I just finished watching the tile man series in 1 sitting, man was it worth it I can’t wait to watch your other series next. This series is amazing but I suck at remembering what happened last week so I can’t wait for this account to hopefully have a very long life span and be a long video at the end

I'm so sorry bro. That made my heart drop 9:45. I FELT that gasp when you loaded in and the scorpion was agroe'd
