F keya and the inventpry tags are huge things to help a noob get only slightly better. I've only just started TOA and I have definitely gotten a little bit better through using both the keys and the colours for quick Gear switches. Though, I think one of the best things you said is to die a lot so you can learn(and not applicable to smelly, sweaty hcim). RSN Spam_433

I think the most important (or one of the most important) tips is to not be afraid of failure. Or at the very least, not being afraid to at least attempt an encounter because of how complicated some guides make it seem.

Corrupted Gauntlet was my first boss, would suggest most people trying to get into pvm more dangerous bosses to try CG out to get better. forces you to switch attack styles, move around and switch prayers. Plus you don't lose items if you fail, just time.

Nice vid, that noob at 1:17 is me

My tip: Moons of Peril are a great way to learn movement (and get a feel for tick cycles) without needing to worry about prayer swaps. Demonic Gorillas are a great way to learn about prayer and 2-3 item switches. These are also great for players new to PvM because the one-shot threat is relatively low. Once those 2 aspects become easy, move onto Sarachnis. Afterwards, it is all about watching 1-2 guides on KZfaq, getting the gear and trying all the other PvM content.

"Extremely difficult challenges such as Kraken" 😂 Kraken had me so shook I forgot to pray

The biggest hurdle I faced when I was first starting out at PVM was managing my nerves. Once you learn not to panic, everything becomes a hell of a lot easier. Another one is to avoid unnecessary clicking e.g. don't spam click an enemy you're already attacking (I still do this and die to it a lot 😅). RSN Looweegee

I've been slowly getting into bossing, trying new things, testing how far I can get in an encounter, learning different mechanics and such, so one of the things I found most important is your awareness, cause mechanics as an individual, are fairly easy, the challenge is putting everything together while you are moving or "predicting" next swap or in Zulrah for example, as someone that hasnt got her first kc, being constantly aware of the plug in and the boss at the same time while doing swaps, has been the most dificult part for me but definitely something fun to learn. So in conclusion, I think awarness is one of the most important skills you can get for OSRS and could be one of the things that hold most ppl back c: RSN - Bladirs

Prayer switches are probably one of the best first things to learn to do for pvm to improve. Doing a boss that forces you to do this will give you practice. Rsn: ExtraMild

F keys are the most crucial. It was the first thing I was taught when I started my first boss, Scurius, last week and it made something that I initially struggled with into something so incredibly easy for me to do. RSN 2MonitorAqua

You can always remap the f keys to letters with plugins, for the moba players out there

Rsn: 97202 Playing an iron a majority of my time coming back forced me to learn bosses in budget setups so it built patience and self forgiveness. Trying out bosses in sketch gear but doing better than you thought gives you huge motivation to grab those mid-late upgrades n see the time drop. It’s also not as penalizing dying in cheap gear. You expected to and it’s cheap to get and re-run it.

Can’t wait for you to hit 100k Kaoz. It’s well deserved - your content is amazing and it’s always a must watch for me when I see a new upload from you!

Corrupted Gauntlet made me a better player. Genuinely never thought I'd be able to beat it, now I have a 90% success rate

Love the use of the arrow in the thumbnail, super eye grabbing ;)

how do you remove certain prayers from the list? plugin or?

wow, perfect timing, I just became a member for the first time 2 days ago :D

I've always been skeptical about these KZfaqrs discords, but people here were chill and I tanked some bandos for em this morning :)

7:50 It's worth noting that most enemies like that have *sound effects* for when their attack registers. For example Leviathan you'll hear either the sound of it hitting you or the "tink" sound of the protection prayer negating it, as the indication that the attack has now registered. It's been really helpful on those bosses to turn sound up and music down. Scurrius is obviously the easiest practice for this.

Pretty certain that tick eating works the same as the prior explained range projectiles, where it is rolling a number when it attacks and you have the projectile time to eat and it will still only hit whatever number it was originally rolling.

It's nice to have clanmates or in-game friends to help you with specific questions you may have! Thank you for the video. RSN Junoruno

man thanks for the true tile tip, i kept having to guess where i was in the ice storm for blue moon runs

10:05 I had heard the southwest tile mattered for so long and that you safespot on certain sides for some reason but this is the first time in 20 years anyone has explained *why.* Maybe I can finally remember it and get another wave in the colosseum now (I think my record is wave 7 or so? beating the one with the 3 attack styles)

Imo one of the most crucial skills to learn is prayer flicking/switching, cause if you can do it you generally need less supplies and can do longer trips, and with prayer switching- well, it's just something you need to learn for most end game content. RSN EggTheFirst

understaning how ticks work is literally the most useful thing to help learn pvm as the whole game is based on them, once you understand how many actions you are able to perform in 1 tick you will absolutely be able to do higher level content RSN Kivenmurikka

Hot keys is one of the best ways you can improve your skills on OSRS for bossing. Specifically for me was the fight caves. Rsn- Xal L

Muscle memory is the #1 thing needed for pvm. RSN Shmeowlex

I was forced to boss for the quest cape lol. Whisperer and leviathan were the worst but now I got the hang of it

going through the combat achievements helps you learn because it gives you harder and harder bosses to try and give rewards for doing it

I think it is crucial for people to learn to just try it and not be afraid to die and learn from it. (Assuming they are not a hardcore) RSN Evelanderine

I believe of the most crucial skills is actually to control the anxiety of pmving. The more nervous you are, the worst you play, I believe it's all about feeling comfy doing certain things, it will go smoother with time. RSN: AlvSenpai

Prayer flicking is basically like having hacks, but movement is the 2nd most important skill, knowing where mobs will get stuck or not and (which isn't mentioned in this video) when/if you will get dragged towards a mob.

I def think being able to stay calm is the most crucial skill. Everything else is kinda pointless if you just start panicking after a small mistake. RSN NoFix

Any plugin recommendations for mobile

I believe that getting used to a dpi in your mouse, is a crucial part to be good at pvm, missing a click can be the difference between dying at the boss or eating correctly, praying correctly, moving where you have to move. RSN Zaavi zc

RSN Don Perrillo. I think the rythm of the ticks is one of the most essentials skills for Runescape

i dont menu switch on vork?

Does anyone know what song starts at 4:26 in the video? I've listened to the Runescape orchestral album many times and it doesn't seem to be on there unless I'm missing something!! I love it when it pops up in every Kaoz video.

Zulrah massively upped my pvm game.

the hardest thing that I ever fought was jad. I CAN DO DKS, BEGINNER STUFF suchs 'barrows' (if you consider that a boss LOOL) and scurrious. rsn- cm pp

I think information is a big part of learning new encounters. And i am not talking about mechanics. More so about "experience" that shared. For example for me Muspah and Vorkath were much easier bosses to learn and farm than Zulrah, which i only had 1kc for a longest time. Because Muspah and Vorkath give you decent amount of room for mistakes and aside for certain attacks, there are not many ways to die quickly, so you can eat through your mistakes. On other hand Zulrah can deal up to 50 damage with a single attack, which can be stacked with Snakelings for additional 15 max hit per. And in tanzenite form you will take hits, because of random range attacks, whether you want it or not, which makes Zulrah pretty discouraging boss to learn. There are a lot of great bosses to try and learn, but understanding what kind of bullshit you will have to deal with is something not enough guides cover.

My tip, if you are having a hard time with a certain piece of content, take a step back and do some of your favorite non combat skills and just enjoy doing the little things, and maybe over a week or so give it another go and there is a good chance you will one shot that boss. RSN - LDS ChanChan

I beat inferno with just 1 fkey witch was for prayer book. I manually clicked inv. Currently working on 3 fkeys now

I think the most important thing for higher level bossing is to know when theres a break in the action to focus on prayer switching, or to try to save eating for when you cant attack. Gauntlet made me realize i wanted to open the prayer menu as the 4th attack went out so i could cimfortably swap and also pay attention to floor tiles and cyclones. Also, eating food then fast food and then pots in the same tick in that order to maximize dps. Rsn bakedfood1

Thanks for the tips I’m just getting into bigger pvm content just learned vorkath and it was pretty fun. Hoping to one day get an inferno cape! Rsn: Perishu

As someone who is still fairly new to the game the tick system sounds like a nightmare for me, that and prayer flicking seems like the hardest but most important skills to get down. RSN: Vinkelpolo

Biggest tip that I hardly hear mentioned is to go get your stuff after you die vs paying death's fee. I spent so much extra gp and didn't try nearly as much content because I didn't want to pay for my deaths... RSN: Navy-All

The big update for combat rebalancing is coming out tomorrow already actually

I only recently got my first zulrah kc after 25 deaths, it sucks having to charter back so many times but practice is the only way I will ever turn that frustrating death snake into a money snake.

The most important thing to learn is boss mechanics/rotations and getting your prayers right. RSN Murunix

Ok for me, the mosti mportant thing for what I see in PVM is this...just chill and if ya fail, move onto another challenge or activity and come back when you have a cool head. I am not gonna lie...when I fell to Sins of the Father and the Varlamore Moon Dungeon, I got pretty salty and tilted. In retrospect I should have listened to my own advice RSN Bren10Kage If I do get the bond, its defientally gonna help with funding Operation "Go Simon Belmot on that Vampire asshole"

I think confidence is the best skill for PVM, because you try content and fail on it and learn in the process opening more learning escenarios in the future. RSN Pixelcrapx32

I think movement is vital but it goes hand to hand with prayer and menu switching since harder movements makes it harder to prayer switch RSN armagedon226

Im still suffering with trying to get a KQ and Zulrah KC. Quite annoying.

Is the green dragon the only boss in f2p?

Repetition pays off a lot in this game. RSN: Sikhsin

my first and only boss is vorkath so far, have a few hundred KC now really enjoy it. Maybe died 20 times over the first 200 kills learning. Will watch your bossing guide to see where else i can go! RSN- kingseverok

Slowly learning pvm. It's a ton of fun. Also going for the b2b giveaway dub. Rsn: DeRang3rMan

understanding movement and prayer flicking. If you can do those two things, you are set. RSN CybeDustless

Honestly think movement in most cases is harder to work on above prayer switching, requires understanding of where your character truly is as mentioned. RSN MegGriffin18

Any tips for mobile players also scared of pvm? I know a guy, a friend, kinda handsome, who’s only ever done barrows and the mole basically and wants to learn more about how to pvm properly on mobile.

As one who is just starting to learn mechanics outside of stand correct and pray correct, I’m finding that learning movement (mine and the boss’s) and learning when to eat and when to attack are the hardest, but also most important factors in improving PVM skill, for myself at least. RSN Hawkback1329

I think prayer flicking equals to movement is the main thing to master, since even low level boss required prayer flick. RSN beautykill13

My laptop does’nt have f keys :/

Definitly f keys and pray switches. im stoll learning trying to get use to f keys. rsn: da killas

Iv been playing since 2004 but i never used fkeys in my life of playing rs...no womder i havent gotten a fire cape

Great Tips! Will get to it rn! RSN Trok_Patrok

Prayer flicking 100% the most importen skill for High level PVM. RSN. Gripdalf

Crucial skill to learn is your credit card number so you can buy that shadow or tbow.

I think my friend should learn by not buying bonds to solve all issues

One word, DO. If you fail.. DO.. again ✌️

Misinformation correction: Yes, you have literally infinite prayer if you 1 tick it. The entire point of 1 ticking is that you don't drain any decimals of your prayer if you only have it on for a single game tick

The most Crucial skill for PVM'ing is being able to click with your mouse... Please give me bond RSN TBMHG

1:02 , automatically offended.

Prayer flicking is most important and hardest thing to learn. RSN: RedsIronMain

hola kaoz, añademe al juego soy "navegar" no crei que hablaras español, tienes la mejores guias del juego

Learning by jumping into fights with a vague idea on what to expect rather than studying guides for hours beforehand. Too many guides will give you a false sense of confidence and lead to getting frustrated easier. There's a better sense of accomplishment from learning PvM encounters yourself. RSN FlipForFood

Btw you can’t tick eat in PvP

Did you just say Kraken is extremely challenging?

I’ll probably just stick to skilling 🤣

what about mobile players 😢

Nah I was done after you said “extremely difficult such as vorkath and KRAKEN” bruh Kraken is afk id hope you didn’t need fkeys for it 😂

game is turning into a an ugly box and tile simultator. why design mobs just release boxes. respect to those who dont need all this shit to play the game

When i saw this dude killing Vardovis i just said fuck it ill never learn ticks that perfect.
