Finding people who don't care if you die is so important. I take people to TOA and if they die wardens p1, I don't get upset. The last guy I took died p1 because he panicked. Here's exactly how the exchange went in discord: "oh fuck I died. God I'm sorry man, I'm so shit" Me: "nah dude it's cool, look now that you're dead you can focus on my character and I'll explain each part" Then I made sure to explain each mechanic and spot to stand, hell, I even ate some mechanics to show how much they hit and how to avoid it. Next KC, man only missed 3 prayers and didn't die.

Daganoth kings is what got me into pvm. Decided to do them for slayer tasks. Pretty simple rotation but it was my first time bringing gear switches to killing a monster

You can also change "F keys" to number keys through RuneLite by the way. I use 1-5 since I don't physically have F-keys.

dude. Don't switch this style up. You have a bright future in content creation. It's feels like having an older brother explain it to you lol even though I might be older than you are lol

Corrupted gauntlet is also great solo content to learn how to move, switch prayers, and switch attack styles. I always tell people that if you cant do CG, you cant do tob.

Great vid! New to high-level PVM myself, and I completely agree with all the 5 points mentioned. As for the last point on doing content with people you enjoy, I found this to be a great way to test new people. If I am shit at the content and my teammates make me feel bad, I simply never play with them again. Those first few hours of miserably failing are absolutely hilarious in the right conpany, so dont waste them on toxic people!

ToA is such a killer PVM teacher. You have to move, react, swap gear, everything you need to pvm and you can scale it as you improve. It's what taught me so quickly because I wanted to get on the highscores so I went from doing 0 invoc to 300 invoc solos with almost 0 pvm experience past slayer and jad

You hit the nail on the head when it comes to fear of failure doing pvm content. What especially resonated with me was you speaking about feeling like you're wasting people's time or dragging the team down. I can assure you this is so much more prevalent in the game than people realize and something I've struggled with massively. You absolutely earned my sub, wish I could sub 10x over.

Most of the guides seem to be designed for people who have experience with osrs bossing or PvMing already, but with all the new players (including me) there aren't many guides that break down the events in a way where it's considerable for someone who has never done a multi-phase fight (or whatever). You're exactly right, most of it could be better, in terms of guides, but also it seems like the people who MAKE the guides are those who have been playing osrs for so long they can't even imagine why someone would need explaining on the priority of prayers/food/switches. So maybe that's where people like you come in. Maybe this could be an introduction for basic pvm strategies, or explanation of osrs mechanics in general (counting ticks, flicking) It's been a long time since I listened to someone talk on youtube and got the impression that they actually cared about what they were talking about. Great video dude, I hope you make more!

Demonic gorillas and normal gauntlet (although locked behind quests) are great for learning.

This is a great video. As someone who has played RS off and on since 2006 and never got in to PVM, this was the best video I have seen on it. A lot of videos go into mechanics and specific bosses. I’m the type of person so inexperienced at PVM that I struggle at Barrows. This made everything feel so much simpler than I’ve been making it in my head. I honestly didn’t even know about F keys. Looking forward to trying new content ! Infernal cape here I come…. Or maybe at least a Mole kill!

Should definitely have an equipment keybind! Removing items for freeze chance at tob is a great example of this

What a solid guide! This will really help me going into my adventures!

Deadass Zulrah is the way to get into PVM for sure. It requires you to position, gear swap, and prayer swap, while also allowing for optimizations like Veng/Thralls spellbook swapping, etc. Its also just good money. If I was gonna add anything, I'd say that people should not immediately go for the balls to the walls methods. If you're learning CG, prep tier 2 armor and actually have a shot at beating the fight. Maybe learn 7:0 at Bandos instead of immediately going for 9:0.

Worth noting for the F-keys tip: With the Key Remapping plugin in RL, you can set any key on your keyboard to input an F-key, allowing you to set your interfaces to be bound to any key you want, rather than being restricted to F-keys.

I've found your OSRS videos to be really succinct and educational. I like the thought-provoking videos and it looks like a lot of other people do too, thank you!

Very good info man. To be honest best thing to do when bossing is "repeat, repeat , succeed, do it all over again " Brain is teaching itself to react before your eyes will move. POWER OF HABIT.

Finally, someone else who does Attack tab, inv, prayer, magic as F1-F4. No one else I know has the same order as me lol. Pog

Cg is huge it teachs fundamentals of movement importance of prayer but even more advanced mechs like how important dps is, for example a low food prep of 12 food with tier 1 is enough for 100% completion assuming minimal mistakes but if you start panicing and stop atting the boss and eating sometimes 20 food isnt enough with correct prayers.

Got into PVM last year because a friend from work wanted me to join a pvm clan he had. My only account was a 50 atk 1 defence pure. I really hadn't done pvm before but had decent pking experience. My pking background made pvm very approachable, but learning it has been a blast except for Kree'arra. My friend took me to God Wars a couple times and then said "here's chambers of xeric." It was a massive spike in difficulty but peaked my interest as the olm fight gave me a similar feel to like what a good pvp fight has. One of the things I would add in addition to Fkey usage is not playing in fullscreen with a massive screen resolution. I've met people who struggle at content and then will do a screenshare in discord and they are barely able to see their character when they zoom out to a normal level. This makes content so much harder for them than it normally should be. Your mouse accuracy has to be more precise to click on smaller monsters, you've got to move your mouse further to get from what tile you want to get on to change gear/prayers/special attack/etc. You don't have to play in fixed, but playing in smaller window resizable or less screen resolution full screen will get you much better click accuracy when you need it most. Another thing I would add in getting into learning raids is minimizing your switches when learning. Every piece of gear you add to your setup is one less brew that you can take. Don't be taking boot/glove/helmet swaps when you're learning as staying alive in the raid will let you contribute far more damage than if you are dead. Also keeping your switches to a more manageable degree makes them feel less of a pain to do while getting used to them.

Loved this video, trying to learn Zulrah right now and this helped a ton.

For anyone wanting an inbetween step for zulrah to raids, regular gauntlet (corrupted if you get good at it is even better), and hallowed sepulcher are fantastic for teaching you movement.

Esc Logout. F1 Inventory. F2 Prayer. F3 Spellbook. F4 Spec. That’s how I set my F keys up.

I really enjoy the information you provide with your videos, but as someone who has anxiety about going deaf, the constant audio cutouts are **really** hard to listen to.

I think it would fit you to actually do guides on those bosses like zulrah or vork, your style of explaining is really chill and with that mindset i think they'd be great for people who cba to learn them

Key remapping is so much better than using the traditional f keys. Nice video and information within it.

Wow these are legit super helpful. Over time I learned by myself to do all these, but I would have loved to have someone teach them to me. I think the biggest takeaways for the game are number 1, 2, and 3. Number 4 and 5 are great takeaways for life in general.

Just came from your TOB vids, love this stuff. Super helpful info for someone like me who just started Vork and plans to try Zulrah soon. Hope you make some more stuff :) Cheers

One thing that's a deal breaker for me is having to play with two hands, suddenly I'm supposed to use my other hand for f keys totally ruins my game experience

Great advice for someone just getting into endgame, thanks!

Loved the tips and tricks a formatted video of 10 tips and tricks would be cool with examples

id definitely say sarachnis is entry to actual mechanics. quick switching to pray range, attack and pray melee when you get there. zulrah was hard to learn at first and it took me some time with other bosses to get my clicks right for zulrah to become viable. Even things like Sepulchre to get your movement and run timing down is great. Great video honestly. Talk to people and join a cc for sure

I like you aside from the ted from how i met your mother similarities, ur voice is just calming, keep doing u

Awesome tips. Thanks. BTW, your "s" sounds are a bit jarring. I was going to recommend a wind screen but it looks like you have one already. You could try backing the mic away from your mouth more (also don't lean into the mic to speak, ya know?). Audio is tough and I'm trying to improve mine as well. But again, good tips. I thought it was insightful.

I genuinely got an osrs quest cape and a rs3 max cape without knowing what a tick is. OSRS is so reliant on them to have any idea what you're doing. I still don't really know how to "build up" to the insanely complicated nature of raids like Tombs of Amascut. You literally go from quest bosses or bosses with maybe one mechanic to stuff like that and Zulrah? The jump is unbelievable. Zulrah alone literally requires you to know what the boss is doing *before it does it* and react accordingly like you're a freaking vampyre with mind reading powers. It's not like I haven't PvMed before, but on RS3 they basically remove everything that you used to have to focus on (re-clicking the boss after every action, manually clicking the swapped prayers/food/potions on different tabs) via keybinds and replace that with other complexity. But then going back to that """"simpler"""" combat system I'm struggling with all that again because clearly there's some sort of muscle memory people get that allows people to do those ludicrous displays I see in the PvP videos where they perfectly time their individual actions to within a specific 0.6 second interval to swap 10 pieces of gear, activate a special attack, a different prayer, and do a handstand all at the exact same time to do like 150 damage. RS3 bosses are structured much more like Vorkath: Attack, attack, attack, Telegraph, Special. Attack, attack, attack, Telegraph, Special, etc on whatever rhythm. I can *DO* that. But throw me at things like Zulrah or raids and I have no idea how they do it. I'm missing *something* and I don't know how to practice it.

I really like this video and your other ones as well. Keep em coming brother. I'm learning pvp day by day and all the advice and knowledge helps.

I think one of the worst parts about guides on bosses like Zulrah and raids and stuff is that they're way overcomplicated. Every single Zulrah guide I've ever seen explains the rotations, tells you to keep track of them on a second monitor, use the plugin and so on and so forth. I could NOT for the life of me do Zulrah until I said fuck the rotations and just gave it a shot myself. Bit by bit I learned and started memorizing what's happening when at my own pace. Making sure to keep everything else in check instead of trying to pay attention to a million different rotation possibilities and switches and whatever. Often times when you're good at a certain piece of content it's easy to forget that you're teaching people who aren't gonna be able to soak in 20 minutes of every possible technique at said content and be able to do it efficiently after. That results in the viewer, more often than not, trying to bite off more than they can chew and being screwed after. Pretty much just watch any kind of guide on CoX/ToB/Zulrah and other higher level pvm videos and you'll see exactly what I mean. I could find very, very few guides that give you the no-bullshit basics without overcomplicating it. If you're struggling at PVM - don't watch long-winded guides and think you have to do absolutely exactly what they do. They're good for seeing example fights but that's about it. Look at the mechanics of said boss you're trying to learn and give it a spin yourself. Don't overcomplicate it and worry about details. Send it, if you die then you die, send it again, correct your mistakes and you'll see just how quickly a daunting piece of content becomes extremely simple in nature.

Never quit or listen to the negativity and you will succeed

I knew about f-keys, but I didn't know they were changeable, I need to do that since I use my f-keys for other stuff.

Just as an aside (and this is super minor, especially given who this guide is aimed at its probably best you didn't mention this), but having a keybind for gear can be really nice for takeoffs (prims when ranging/maging, for example) The attack styles "spec tab" is also useful for things like mage running olm with a shadow as you need to change your attack style, again not super important & is definitely not relevant to the intended audience of this Another boss which is really nice for teaching you things is reg / CG. I've got a few friends who went from beginner pvm'ers to actually relitively high skill pvm'ers at CG. It teaches you a lot about survival in stressful situations, timing, pathing etc. Admittedly take this with a pinch of salt, CG wasn't out when I started as a pvm'er so YMMV

good video i can also recommend to give gauntlet or corrupted gauntlet a shot to try some pvm

Guides generally assume you've taken the time to learn the basics - ie. Gear switching, prayer swapping, how eating affects your attack ticks, etc. I would suggest people wanting to get into end-game PvM to jump head first into the Phantom Muspah. It's not overly punishing, it's mechanically complex (To explain, but it's pretty simple), and it's really rewarding (even after the nerfs)

Boosting engagement with the video, don't mind me!

Really liking this content keep it up bud

Number 4 is the most important thing for like every gamer and person on the planet. I meet so many people in mmos that won't do things because they're terrified of failing the task so it never happens.

Gotta put inventory on f5 for gear take offs, it's relevant in TOA and other places when you're maging

The Gaunlet is what's currently teaching me how to be better at PvM. Previous to getting into it, I had never in my life tried F keys, but it's become second nature.

I must admit I started with alchemist hydra which is easy tried zulrah then got wrecked getting better at it now average 3 kills a trip right now but I do mage only method and try to hide from the mage waves when possible. I suck at gear swapping but I never used f keys so this is helpful

I must be old or something I have my Fkeys set to the original default after you've come when they first came out and you couldn't remap them. Special attack on F5 inventory on F1.

Hey Dude :) do you have Deutan Color Blindness by chance? if not you might have a slight Deutan Color Blindness. "As long as you didnt just accidentaly said purple to Blue" But seeing Purple in Blue is a huge sign of a Deutan Color Blindness. Many people life with it without knowing :D Also great Video . Greetings from Germany.

Why you callin out Woodcutters? You got beef with Hannanie or something? (jk) @Torvesta

WASD key option would help out alot

What about phantom muspah over zulrah?

All and all great video, everyone hates those wdr's asshats that make learners feel bad for mistakes... Zulrah is great for prep for raids as long as you are bringing a gear swap. What I always recommend to people that want to get into raids is gauntlet/corrupted gauntlet: its good intensity, gets your clicks hot, hammers home the use of f keys, tick/att counting, and makes you work with what you got whether thats usable space (avoiding bad tiles) or with what you prepped (undergeared). Gauntlet is also great because it requires no upfront gear from you/no punishing death cost, and if you can efficiently complete cg, youll make a shit ton of gp. If you can do corrupted gauntlet you are ready for anything. I dig your honest love for runescape, if you want add me in game, ill teach you tob: Monkeh

Common sense is a superpower nowadays, it's good to remind people to use it.

Wish you could use the mutagen on the blowpipe.

needed this, thanks

I've never used f keys for any pvm but they do make tob better because you lose ticks clicking the pray tab. And the reason i never bothered to learn them is that my f1 broke and i didnt bother usin F2 and F3 xdd

This was amazing.

keep it up/ love ur voice and cool content

This is actuallyt a really fucking good video...

I'm shit with computers.. my f keys only work if I press shift first. Is it some setting on my computer? Kinda defeats the purpose of f keys and I can't figure it out

Great video

solid advice SeemsGood

Worst thing about PvM guides is they almost always have max gear on for everything... dude is doing Barrows in max while making a guide. lol

Idk man, I had my f keys remapped a long time before I got to Jad.

Really liked this video!

good man

Worthwhile advice, but I'm gonna be real: I've got 18 years of muscle memory for prayer swapping and gear swapping with clicks only, that's fighting me when I try to learn function keys and I revert to it in pressure situations. More comfortable doing stuff in situations where I need to be tick-perfect with what the hands remember. Also, an alternative to toxic gaymer culture around raids and bossing. Solo. Solo everything. I don't want to fuck around with with nasal turbovirgins. Pretty much all of the post-OSRS content like this has zero real risk (no, losing points for the drop table isn't risk, dying and dropping all but your 3+1 on the ground in a non-instanced area with the old despawn timer is risk) so I'd rather just learn to do whatever I can solo when I can.

Good video but your microphone would do with an upgrade

are you related to Ted Mosby

great videos

Bro you whistle your Ss SOOOOO ear piercingly

Your f-keys are the same as mine ^^

Good stuff

I refused to use F keys and the middle mouse button for years. I wish someone would have told me how good they were way sooner.

I'm a mobile player I hate PC's mobile pkin or bossing takes more skill

Please Speak directly into your mic. Point it directly at your mouth and speak straight into it.

first

The games actually not huge.. it's a small amount of content with many layers of RNG wall requirements... Many things are needlessly complicated ... Mostly likely to inflate value artificially... Lots of time gated content too.. it's all just a bunch of artificial problems brought on the player in an effort to convince you to pay real money to eliminate these barrier's... Even than the RNG Mechanic's keeps you playing unless you wanna dish out serious bucks for gear... Plus you got all these KZfaqrs paid by Jagex to constantly bombard players with gold making guides... Profit guides.. don't fall into that trap.. just play the way you want.. if you try to get caught up in the rat race they'll drain every dollar you got

Third

probalby good info here, sounds like it, i cant do zulrah unfortunately, getting through toa was easier for me. Albeit not due to skill , i struggled to get my single kc for diary

shid n fard stinky lol
