2 Tick flick guide - Step by step [OSRS Inferno]

[@aatykon]

Really nicely done, nice intro to 2 ticking that is sorely needed in guide form, there's 2 points to bring up that may help others: 1: instead of holding for 3 ticks, you can simply pray range/mage for just 1 tick, each may work in different cases, although holding 1t is simpler and often the "correct" choice given many wave starts. 2: you can begin a cycle before you step out, you simply need to step out on an "off" tick from a prayer click. i.e anything that isnt the actual mage/range prayer switch, this holds true no matter what npcs you're stepping out into, for example each | being a tick separation: Range pray | Pray Click into LoS/Move | Mage Pray | Pray Click into LoS/Move etc.

[@duckcat687]

Thank you!! and for sure yeah, I suggested stepping out each time as something people can remember that's repeatable and consistent, but anything that's comfortable really. I appreciate you watching and giving info :D

[@iNbl00D]

I just started doing this again and I've made it to Zuk healers twice now but I was wondering what exactly your first comment is referring to? Are you talking about correcting a prayer cycle with both a blob + mager/ranger? I'm OCD so if I'm doing something an inefficient way I'd like to know. :P

[@aatykon]

@@iNbl00D simply im talking about correcting for an offticked blob, holding 1 or 3 will do it if you're 2 ticking period. If you want to incorporate mager/ranger you can, and all cycles are 2t flickable with a good setup or adjustment with 1/3 holds, just with another npc you need to be wary to correct into the other npc and not tank a hit while adjusting the blob.

[@1996Woodstock]

Best guide I've seen on the explanation so far. Thank you.

[@duckcat687]

I'm glad it helps ! :)

[@vodkasalt]

I just started my inferno grind today and this made everything so clear and simple thank you!

[@Son96601]

The mastery and understanding shown in this video is crazy. Well done.

[@TheEspinj807]

Love the visuals. The additional detail helps visualize tick timing, currently stuck on wave 48!

[@duckcat687]

Thanks :D yeah 48 is tough, just like 31. You'll be at 50+ soon let's goo!

[@thetalonking7233]

I love how I'm watching all of these videos, pretending like I would ever get to this point in OSRS. I'm still in F2P. 😂😂 But even still, I highly enjoyed this video and I managed to learn something new, even if I won't ever be able to put it to use really. This guide is concise, easy to understand and overall just fun, if that makes any sense. Wonderful job!

Really well crafted guide right here. Super clean, slow pacing, eye-catching and intuitive visuals, overall easy to digest, just the way it should be. I know what I'll be watching when I start inferno

[@rileyfarmer5662]

This video solved waves 50-66 thank you so much

[@trollingdaniyal7993]

Bro this is by far the best help i can ever get for inferno in a youtube video, ITS NOT JUST PEOPLE TALKING ON HOW TO PRAY SWITCH.. we actually get pictures this time!

[@Chroniquee]

This is really a great resource for learners like myself. I was having trouble flicking blobs correctly so I think this will help. Thanks

[@duckcat687]

I hope it helps :) you don't need to 2 tick every time you see a blob, but it's a nice tool, just like the 1tick alternating

[@jackderaway]

Great guide. Please make more. Either inferno or other content. I love content about mechanics of the game such as prayer flicking. There’s so much nuance to it. That’s why I love the game. Current pb is 45. Maybe one day I’ll get it!

[@trevorbeardsley1719]

I really appreciate this guide, the visuals are amazing. Great work have a sub

[@JinyuenFX]

literally i struggle with in inferno is flicking the blobs this gave a better understanding about them tysm.

[@ZhenLiZhao]

I'll never be able to try the inferno but I watched this when it came up anyway for some reason. Still I understood what you were doing! Great explanations, video format and editing!~

[@rickysmith6041]

yea you will...... this is actually the hardest mechanic in inferno lol (yes I know that's a bold statement). AAB- All About Blobs Seriously the inferno is doable by the average player, it's just end game so only so many people get to it. Most importantly it requires knowledge of the tick system which is why it seems like only a few can do it. Those "few" (it's actually a lot of average players) seem like immortal gods but really just have learned the tick system. Runescape is divided into two types of players- the ones who understand ticks and the ones who don't (but will). To the players who don't, the inferno is impossible to them *because they don't know ticks*. I used to feel like a noob who can't do anything and thought it was impossible just like you, I can tell you it's not nearly as bad as you think.

[@lifeiswonderful22]

Thanks for the guide! Just got into late game and I'm close to being able to take on the inferno

Something in your video really clicked with me. I was able to pb at wave 62 after being hardstuck at 48ish. I hope I can do it soon

As someone that is at the point now where I got a 4b bank and it is kind of embarrassing not having an inferno, this guide is amazing. I think it is time to grind it out and learn!

Excellent visual guide thank you, am still progressing though the 50~ waves, the blobs are giving me grief - hence I am here trying to get my head around them!

[@Traiths]

Solid guide, wish I had something like this when I was learning inferno :D

[@The7up]

Am I right in thinking this: If you set a visual metronome to count to 4, and you stand on the edge behind the pillar, you can always click the mob on the other side on tick 4, which always makes him see you on tick 1, getting you straight into the cycle as shown in 2:02? This would also fall into what aatykon was explaining in his second point of his comment: That you can enable the prayer before stepping out.

[@duckcat687]

Yes that sounds right

[@duckcat687]

If you've got a visual metronome, you could try it out and see, It's tough to visualise how the ticks work from memory sometimes

[@The7up]

@@duckcat687 ahh okay! Another question: when 1 tick alternate flicking, do you have to be in a cycle? I read that once a prayer is activated on a tick, even if you turn it off in that same tick, it's still active in the next tick. So if you switch between mage and range prayer every 1 tick, you're essentially invincible against range and mage on the same tick?

[@duckcat687]

@@The7up I don't think you're invincible no, but 1 tick alternating will always work against blobs. So if you don't know what to do then 1 tick alternating will save you and you can do it at any time. It's so hard to explain this stuff through text. I might have to revisit this with a better way to visualise it 💀

[@The7up]

@@duckcat687 your vid is awesome, would love another one yeah! thanks! im still kinda confused :P

[@jesseeliasson6359]

Literally only needed the first 30 seconds and I realised I already been doing it since like 2005-2006 castlewars.

[@Smokeurpipe]

Amazing video

[@jackderaway]

At 8:34 this example is obvious Bc where the npc’s spawned, they could instantly see you. But I’d like to know or learn more about how to tell when an npc sees you. Especially ones that don’t instantly attack (blob, ranger). The obvious response would be “when they stop moving 5head duh” but I’m just looking at too much to see when something stops moving. I’m looking for where to go at start of the wave. Maybe the best is to learn the spawn points and when from each spawn point each npc can see you.

[@magnusiocus2828]

Holy fuck this is the exact thing I needed you’re a god send

[@bullseyegaming6799]

Dude thank you ❤

[@lunchspirit]

On what tick does the blob's attack amination happen? Tick 1 (except for the first tick the blob sees you/first cycle)? I would guess this to be true, because it would align with how all other mob attack animations work (i.e. you need to being praying range the tick before the the ranger's attack animation happens). @aatykon is this correct? Sorry for the stupid question.

[@bergenmatthew]

Idk man I go out with range prayer on and then swap to mage and then every tick go back and forth. Fk trying to do on 2t cycle

[@rubixcubesolve]

When i do the 1-tic flick between range and mage pray, the overhead pray icons disappear above my head

[@duckcat687]

You might be clicking too fast or too slow, otherwise it could be a bad world. On Runelite you can use the world switcher tab on the side to find a good ping world. If the ping is all good then it'll come with practice, just like 1 tick flicking normally but switching prayer each time

[@rubixcubesolve]

@@duckcat687 I think it was my ping. Seems to kinda work on 45 ping world.

[@SS-pg1hi]

So if the blob and ranger/mager are 1 tick off, the 2 tick doesn't work? I've always heard it fixes itself as long as you start 2t pray flick from the ranger/mager's attack,

[@CamTurnah]

Can you one tick alternate the ranger and mage everytime or will you have to two tick them aswell depending on what tick they’re on?

[@duckcat687]

maybe not everytime, but you can. Just depends what situation you're in and when each enemy sees you

[@iNbl00D]

This is the guide that taught me how to 2-tick blobs! PB is wave 62 so far but hopefully I'll get the cape soon! :) If you don't mind me asking, what program did you use to make/animate the graphics in this video? It all looks great and this is one of the most pleasing tutorials to watch I've ever seen. Not sure if I would have pursued the Inferno if not for this video.

[@duckcat687]

I used Paint tool Sai to draw the blob and make the visuals, but Photoshop or something similar would do the same job. Then I put everything together in Premiere Pro :) Thank you ! 2 ticking helped me solve almost every wave when I was learning the Inferno. I was in a creative mood so I wanted to make a guide for it, since I see a lot of people struggle with the waves. For me, it's all about listening to the sounds to get the timing right. I hope you get your cape soon, once you hit 60+ and Jads a few more times, you'll be so close

[@AkimboBattleLolis]

this is so helpful thank you

[@CrummyJoker]

You make it seem so easy :D

[@grantskidmore6921]

Lovely! ❤

[@Bamblagram]

I'm confused on how to re-align the blob and ranger/mager by tanking a blob hit. Does this only work if they both saw you at the same time, or can it be used in any situation? Also, which ticks do you hold for 3? Does it matter? For example can you do 1 (range), 2 (range), 3 (range), 4 (mage) into the 2 tick or 1 (range), 2 (mage), 3 (range), 4 (range) into the 2 tick? Are they the same? I saw Aaty's comment, saying you can flick 1 tick instead of hold 3, which tick would you do that on?

[@duckcat687]

It's been a while, but I believe both of those examples work yes. So let's say you have a Ranger + blob on you. Ignore the blob. Start the 2 tick cycle when the ranger attacks as usual. If the blob hits you, then you need to start the 2 tick cycle just before the ranger attacks. So there's two options: 2 tick when the ranger attacks - or - 2 tick just before it attacks. One of them will be correct. Hopefully both of them see you at the same time so starting the 2 tick when the ranger/mager attacks will work right away. I can try to explain more, but hopefully that makes sense

[@Bamblagram]

@@duckcat687 I think that makes sense. It's a bit confusing since overheads take 1 tick to activate. For example, what is "tick 1" for you on the ranger? Is it when he's standing idle, or the following tick? So there's no easy way to correct the 2 tick blob flick by just tanking a hit or something?

[@juliancarmona4375]

nice guide :), may u make one on how to do 1 tick alternation without losing pray?

[@duckcat687]

Sure :)

[@djdefinite1634]

Have reached Jad triples teice & zuk in last 10 runs. Gotta get better at this & I think its what will help me immensely. I just get nervous/fuck up

[@rubixcubesolve]

For mager + ranger, you show it in the case that the ranger is already attacking you. What if they're both behind the pillar to start.

[@duckcat687]

I don't have the answers to a lot of situations in this video, it's mainly just for learning 2 tick flicking. But in general, for a mager and ranger stuck behind a pillar, i'd watch xZacts video "OSRS Inferno Guide | PART 1: Cracking the Waves" - At 16:40 he talks about that situation.

[@duckcat687]

[@jimbojim4767]

If anyone is struggling with this download the visual metronome it makes this a breeze. All you need to do is set it up to switch colors every game tick then whatever color the mage/ranger attack on you start the two tick on the opposite color. IE; if the mage attacks on red you will switch to range on green and then back to mage on the next green repeating as needed. If you need to fix the cycle cause the blob saw you late you can just start the two tick cycle on whatever color the mage/range attacks on. This is really good for people who have a bad internal rhythm like me. I start two ticking and then my mind wanders or try to attack a bat or something and I’m a tick late lol.

[@rubixcubesolve]

I can one tic fine when I use the activate quck prayers. But when I try to 1-tic between range and mage pray as he does at 3:44 my over head prayers completely vanish and It's as if im not praying against anything. Why is this?

[@jimbojim4767]

@@rubixcubesolve Sounds like you might be switching too quickly. If you are using a visual metronome click whenever you see the next color you have the entire time its a certain color to switch prayers.

[@M0RLEY]

I play on mobile and 2 tick flicking doesn't always work but a 3 tick cycle does. Is a 3 tick cycle no good for the later waves when range/magers are on you? I've started learning inferno today.

[@duckcat687]

no, I'd play the waves safe and lazy flick or 1 tick alternate where possible. I'm not sure how much harder mobile is, but if ping is an issue then it makes flicking difficult

[@zChocolateBar]

Will 1t alternating always save you from blobs/range/mage if the range/mage are off ticked?

[@duckcat687]

Yes 1tick will save you but only if the Mager/ranger are attacking 1tick apart back to back. You don't have to worry about blobs when 1tick alternating, as long as the mager/ranger are attacking on ticks next to each other The examples in this vid show them 2 ticks apart, which wouldn't work for 1tick alternating

[@zChocolateBar]

I really don't understand the "how to fix 2-tic cycle" part. Like when would you need to fix.

that 5:55 edit is fuckin killing me. how do you step and mage prayer turns on auto? did you just mess up the edit? when i put it in 0.25 slow motion. you never click on magic. need answers

[@duckcat687]

That does look weird yeah. I think it's just osrs messing up. If you've ever switched prayers quickly, it'll disappear for a split second and it just so happened to be when it paused it here. It's not useful but you can recreate it in-game if you keep clicking between mage and range quickly. I must've clicked on mage and quickly moved my mouse ready to click the floor really fast (so it glitched out), right before the clip plays
