Mad props for actually doing the cave with the minimum gear rather than these other ass holes that go in fully kitted.

This is probably the best recent guide. I'm not an ironman but it talks a lot more about tactics than a lot of other guides which seem more focused on inventory.

Insanely good guide with a realistic setup. Following the rotations, standing in the right place at the start of rounds and dragging the enemies made the waves leading up until Jad so chill. Got my fire cape 2nd try, thanks a lot bro

Thank you! With this guide and two fails at Jad I finally conquered this challenge :D Just didnt expect the healers to respawn when I killed them all slowly, letting Jad get full HP, but still managed to pull through

Got my first Firecape thanks to you!! The wiki rotation, and the call out his attack helped a lot. You're the best!

For any iron looking to do their first fire cape, this is the guide for you! I’ve been procrastinating so hard in obtaining my fire cape on my hcim for so long and just wanted to say thank you for such a great guide! I was able to get to Jad so easily and finished my first fight caves in years! I usually skip through guides but watching this video throughout has helped a ton. Earned my sub👍

Great guide. Huge props for actually doing the caves with the low-end setup instead of most guides where they rattle of this gear and then do it with a tbow in full armadyl, making any demo useless for people who need a guide.

Easily the most thorough and complete guide out of the 4-5 I watched. Got my Cape this morning on my GIM! Will be recommending this guide to the rest of the group. Cheers!

By far the best and most comprehensive fight cave guides out there. Big props for showing the safe spot tiles, where to stand, and how to lure the monsters. Fire cape was a huge goal of mine , as I was sick of running around with an ardy cape for all my combat training. Watched this vid a few times and got the cape 2nd jad attempt at 3 hp as I ran out of food. I used the blowpipe and got some lucky specs off while tanking 1 of the healers (I made them a line). Also forgot to pray steel skin and eagle eye until halfway through the Jad fight. But hey, I made it out in the end! One tip to others: on wave 62, put the orange guy at a safe spot, get up and take a bathroom break, wash your hands, take deep breaths and get ready. You’re most likely sitting for over an hour and a half so u need to stretch and get the blood flowing and calm down for Jad. Just make sure you don’t go too afk and log by accident ofc lol.

I was struggling so much, and after your advice about this rotation map and the shirt bow I did it first try without too much issue. Legitimately the best guide out there, and I’ve watched a few. Thank you so much for the info.

Big thanks! been procrastinating this challenge for so long until I saw this and managed to clear it just now on the first try only a couple of hours after watching the video

One tip that I don't see recommended anywhere on the youtube guides, that is massively beneficial against Jad: DEFAULT pray against range, and switch to mage as needed. His mage attack is way, way, way easier to pray against, has a longer windup time, and plays a sound effect the second it starts casting (the sound effect is the same as the Retribution prayer effect when it triggers). His range attack has far less audial warning, goes out a lot faster, and also causes him to raise his arms in the air, which can be confused for the mage attack. If you default pray to range then switch whenever you hear the mage attack being cast, you'll save yourself a lot of pain and wasted time.

Why would you take the wrench? +1 per sip, you gain +68 from 17 in your inv. But if you meet your minimum +44 prayer, 1 pot restores 72, you lost 4 prayer by takeing the wrench instead of another p-pot. If you were 70 prayer (common stopping point due to bonecrusher/quest req) then you lost 28 prayer over the course of the fight.

Best guide to date! First time doing Fight Caves, made it to Jad and got him to 60hp....and of course messed up on a prayer switch. Your guide can't get any better!

This is by far the best video. Tried 3x with other guides, was having a hard time, this one made it stupid simple and i love it! even talking about logging out, that way i know i can take a pee break! thanks dude!

For inventory tips, it should be said that ranging potions can be commonly looted from the Grubby chest. The keys are not as rare as other ones similar to it and all the supplies from it are VERY useful for Ironmen~!

A tip I have to give after trying the fight caves for the first time just a few days ago. When you go in for the first time, just go in and see what happends. With the info in the guide, you'll feel more confident your second time when you know more what you're agains. I lost on my first try on wave 53, but I was only trying. Got to Jad the second time, but clicked the wrong prayer. third time, I paniced with Jads Healers, and fourth time, I thought it was a ranged attack when it was a magic attack, and I got a lag spike, so I was unable to change back in time.

ty so much! been playing rs my whole life and never tried to get the fire cape but, with your guide i got it on my first try! the rotation guide is extremely helpful, thank you!

UIM in combat 65s here - I searched for a Fight caves guide after dying on my first try... for some reason I skipped the first two recommended videos and was attracted by the title of yours. Well - destiny, I would say, as you managed to help me getting my firecape first try with this method! (And I also followed your instructions by successfully tanking 1 Jad hit :P) Thank you very much for this awesome guide! I will recommend it to anyone who struggles with getting to Jad!

Underrated for sure! I love when people keep it simple. For some reason the sweaty tick perfect guides always dissuade me from trying new challenges. Dont get me wrong those guides are valuable as well, but I really appreciate the simple method to at least go in and attempt. Then refine later. Thanks for making this video!

I'm closing in on attempting fight caves on my UIM, and I have never done it before. This video has given me a lot of confidence, man. Short but informative, the best kind. Have a like and a sub, you've earned it big time!

Thanks bro, this guide was huge for me. Ran my first two attempts this morning - bailed on the first one at 55 and managed to kill Jad on the second run. I'm absolutely buzzin

Trawled through a lot of guides and this one was by far the best, got my first ever cape, on an ironman too - great vid mate 👏

Nice detail that logging out places you in the center of the cave. That can lead to some 54 melee hits from the magers in later waves. Rcb is available from Deranged Archeologist. They drop runite limbs. 69 fletch on an iron is worse than risking a hardcore though.

I went through a few guides but this is by far the best one I stumbled upon. Making the inferno less intimidating rather than more so. Made my first firecape seem like a breeze, so nowadays I can hold my head up high on the slayer-tasks. Thanks boss!

I cannot thank you enough! I got my first firecape first try! Iron btw ;). Thanks to you my childhood dream came true lol. I only watched your video and looked up a Jad practice to get the prayer flicks down. I'm 83 def and 93 range and used your exact set up without a task/slay helm (yes, MSB w rune arrows) but included blood spells in a rune pouch (worthless, don't use) and was left with 5 mantas and over half the pray pots. To anyone who thinks they can't do it or doesn't want to put the time in. Watch this video fully once, then take some time and eventually you'll have a spur of the moment and want to do it (like me). I watched the video again as I did the waves and waited until he called out the wave he was on and would stop and continue watching. Like Karl said, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WAVE ROTATIONS. P.S.: it's not mentioned in the video, but when Jad is at 150 HP, it spawns 4 healers. Attack each of them to gain agro and to prevent healing, but attack 1 healer at a time after jad hits you so you can adjust your prayers accordingly. + don't get dragged into melee. Good luck!

You also don’t need to go into the wilderness for a rune crossbow. You can fletch one with a fletching boost @64 fletching - just get a rune limb from any metal dragon that drops one. Pretty fast and easy way to get a rcb

I would also say take ancient spellbook and use one of the blood spells for healing if you are trying to save on food early. All you need is rune pouch, and ancient staff. maybe a god book as well.

Great video! I've played rs on and off for 16 years and never got my fcape. Tried a few times over the years and always failed. Followed your guide and got to Jad first try and then got my cape on my 3rd attempt!! Died first 2 times because I was panicking lol. The 3rd time I focused ONLY on jad prayers and pulled it off with 8 hp tanking healers, focusing only on the prayers definitely helped. By the end of my third run I felt like a pro handling the waves because I followed your vid every time through. Thanks for the cape on my hcim :) Feels so good!

The MSB and rotation tips were game changing.. Tried once blind on my IM with rcb and fucked up at wave 47 since I didn't know the rotation and got 2 shot by the mage's melee. Tried a second time with MSB and the rotations page open, one shot everything including Jad. It really did make it feel more like a puzzle and it was actually a lot of fun. Great guide man, recommended to a friend!

Dude you have a knack for making guides. I feel like theres not enough ironman guides! thanks a lot

This is the best guide to fight caves I’ve ever seen. Subbed for more great vids!

Oh my god, just got my first ever fire cape in years of playing this game. ty for awesome guide, made it so easy. 🥰🥰

I used proselyte legs and helm with d‘hide body and a rune c bow with an unfinished god book on my lvl 79 HC, a tip i brought blood burst to heal up inbetween on the 180‘s and minions and left 4 food for the end saves alot of food. Hope this helps! 👍

My favorite guide so far! I wasn't able to get this cape 10+ years ago but I'm working on getting this with my lvl 59 pure on osrs mobile. Got to wave 40 on my first attempt so it's just trial and error all the way to Jad!

ty thanks to ur guide got it 2nd try ever ... 1st try i planked while grapping healers ... used the plugin for rotations as well (fight caves helper)

Bro after 5 attempts I watched this and I finally got my cape, thank you so much for the help dude great vid

i get my first fire cape today and your guide helped me a lot, congratulations for the excellent work!!

This is a fantastic fight caves guide. Detailed and thorough! Cheers man

how do u only have 400 subs??? thats crazy!!!!!! cant wait to see u blow! thanks for the video very informative and helpful yet direct to the point. Love it

Dont forget to turn on sounds!! Those really helped me too

Thanks for the guide, definitely helped! Screwed it up on my first attempt, missed 1 of the Jad prayer changes 😩 But got it second try 🎉

the crystal bow is highly underrated acurate and strong.

Great guide, along with a few other guides it really helped me a lot and I got my first ever fire cape! :)

Perfect guide mate :) Got my cape first try on my iron off task!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I got my first fire cape thanks to this video!

I usually don’t comment on videos, but this guide was amazing. Made it all the way to Jad and died cause I double clicked Range Pray and got maxed, definitely my fault… BUT I still had 6 prayer pots and 2 range pot doses left. The website you linked is great, and definitely a must use. Gonna try again tomorrow, but thanks for the guide my man! Super straight forward without all the bs expensive gear.

Every 3 years i give it another shot, failed again, but the guide was very good!

Another tip is to bring blood spells in a rune pouch with an ancient staff. I didn't use any food during all the waves thanks to this

Your guide was great! Thanks for killing Jad in normal/mid-level tier gear, too. It gave me the confidence to make it through. Got my fire cape and I'm now ready to take on anything! I tanked a couple of hits from Jad when the healers came, but kept my composure as you said to do, used the safe spots to my advantage and survived my first run.

This is the guy that does food reviews and lives in Japan, change my mind.

this is the best guide on youtube, hands down. not even close

hahaha you killed me with the spongebob at the soundtrack XD, i feel better now to continue fight cave. ty sir

This guide helped me a ton, was way more comfortable this time. I haven't tried fight caves since I was like 14 lol ended up dying when I was trying to lure the last healer stuck behind jad and didn't switch prayer fast enough but feel a lot more confident for the next try haha

if u ever make another guide on this a few years down the line i'd recommend showing clips of you kiting the enemies into a safe spot instead of cutting through those to show u attacking. it's way more useful to see how you use the rocks to safespot then to see what u do once you've already done that. so far every guide i've seen just says you can safe spot at certain locations and leaves it at that. tbh though I'm grateful you included a full run in the description im not hating or anything.

What a great guide with wonderful, humanistic advice. Thank you! Definitely subbed for more.

Pretty casual player here but I'm working on the fight caves. I forgot that the rotations were a thing but I think I'm gonna imbue my slayer helm and go for a jad task before I check the rotations out.

if you want range pots and you can't make them yet, you can go farm some grubby keys to hit the chest, can get ranging pots from there. Can also get some super restores and brews also.

I think this may be the first guide that's actually going to make me complete fight caves for my first time ever. I've tried it on normie accounts, and iron Man accounts, but never completed it. Time to finally achieve the fire cape on my iron Man!

I know this guide was meant for irons but i credit this guide for getting me my cape on my 1def pure, learning how to use the rotation map was game changing

Just getting back in RS and thought this would be a great challenge - Added to my favourites, I'll definitely be using this guide! As others have said, most other guides just break down what to bring and not where to stand... Us noobs need help 🙂

great guide, the wave rotations is a great help!

This guide is great! Thank you man

just to chuck this out there you could swap some of those karams for baskets of strawbs. my first firecape on the iron was with p pots, sharks and strawbs.

finally, a guide that doesnt use sara brews. I was dreading the thought of grinding long and hard for sara brews that'll last 1 fight

Hey man awesome video thanks for the upload! Will be helpful when trying my first fire cape soon. Quick question.. how do you get the ground/floor of the fight caves orange instead of the default red? It's much easier on the eyes when its orange, like you have in the video.

another good tip is to use runelite's npc indicators plugin, to better see the healers in jad phase

Fire guide bro. If you made other guides just like this on other bosses and quests/bosses

mage boy just meleed me and put me in the dirt near the very end lol, woulda been nice to know they could even melee 0.o

I just go to Jad for the first time, it took me three hours in game, four hours total with the pausing between some rounds to stretch. I was SHAKING going in. Got to the healer, tagged them all and got them in a line on me and then managed to get jad down to 14 hp when my nerves and excitement got the best of me and I slipped the mouse the smallest bit and missed a prayer... K.O. Was devastated. Finding the motivation to go again is going to be so hard!

If you're getting rune xbow as hcim from wildy, just remember aviansies drop rune limbs

Awesome video!! Is the slayer helm if you're on task? The archers helm gives 5 more defence for one less range attack power, wouldn't that be better?

Got to Jad after 2 hours and i fucking panicked when i saw the healers. Great guide though i will try tomorrow!

great guide! subbed

You're the goat tyvm

thanks for the great guide! I just killed Jad and your video was a huge help!

video is 22:22 it’s a sign from the universe or my higher self lol 😂 love it thanks for the video my dude 🙏

good guide. ironman centric guides

Im lvl 116, 90/99/90 , 85 ranged, 71 pray. So scared to do this still. I just gotta do it, I think this video is going to help me most, gonna give it a try when I have time.

Great video!

I'm assuming you'd want to have a Black Mask or Slayer Helm imbued for running the Caves on task, but you never mentioned being on task so I'm curious if there's any other reason why you'd want to run those other options like the Helm of Neitznot? Never mind, first thing you say in the video of you doing the full run is that you're on task.

Only difference I did was have blood burst for heals. I had only brought 5 sharks but messed up a lot.

You can kill deranged archeologist for crossbow limbs and fletch it yourself, no wildy required

noob questions but do you have to be on a jad task for the slayer helmet to work?

Oh you were right knowing the rotation made it so easy. I had all8 food and 7 prayer pots left when jad 1 shot me 😂😢😭🤣

I am currently point boosting to get broad bolts to go to the jad cave. My plan was to use full void + rune CB with broad bolts. Should i rather use full void + MSBI + rune arrows instead?

A little confused. Are we supposed to be on task if we wear the slayer helm?

i know this is two years later but no way you wear the slayer helm without being on task right? is it still good to wear taskless?

You never linked the full unedited kill in the description

I am very happy for the others, but I need help with the jad. I couldn't figure out the mechanics of the boss and when he hits me the first time I panicked and ended up dying. I wish you could do this task for me. i'm really frustrated

Flames

If I can't manage to get a slayer task, should I use a bandos coif instead of slayer helm (i)? managed to get one from clues. Also have full void ranger if that would be better. Edit: no need to answer I scrolled a bit further in the comments and found everything I needed! wish me luck

I thought Slayer helm (i) was only bis on task? Or is that only for the regular unimbued ?

I decided to try it without fully finishing the video and lost when the major and ranger were attacking together. First attempt at getting a fire cape unsuccessful (wave 39) Tomorrow I shall try again.

Can blood spells help out during the caves to preserve food?

Why do you recommend black mask/slayer helm? If you're not on task you don't get the boost right?

Question: So, I have Helm of Neitiznot (can buy an Archer's helm if needed) and Black d'hide body + Ancient chaps, and barrows gloves. I also have Void Ranger gear. No Slayer helmet or Black mask, and I don't really wanna tackle that grind at the moment. Should I go for the first set, or for the Void?

Do you think I could still take him on using broad bolts, full void ?

Just wondering , how is slayer helm (I) worth it over god coif ? I never thought of bringing mine

brother if i could make the magic sb through fletching i could make the rune crossbow first
