Baba Red X - Updated Guide - New Tech!

[@Molgoatkirby]

Hope you all enjoy the guide! Once again, if you're brand new to red x, I do take it a bit slower on the basics in my old guide, so I linked it in the description, but there's much new stuff to cover so I wanted to go a bit faster through this one so we don't end up with a 20 minute video lol. Lemme know what you thought in the comments, and if you'd prefer in the future I try to be even faster/shorter with guides, or longer/slower to go into more detail, or if this was about right! Once again, bit tricky since I didn't want to spend too much on repeated info from my old guide!

[@Scapeonomics]

can you possibly turn music off when you make these guides? Its genuinely super distracting to me

[@zMustyz]

"You can afk for 1 tick" We have reached the peak for what afk means for the osrs comunity

[@Priest_Of_Zebak]

I believe it's actually 2 ticks per cycle. 1 at the start and 1 at the end. Super afk.

[@JoebsonOSRS]

😂😂😂😂

[@zMustyz]

I started started spamming emotes on that afk tick to flex on my friends who can't red x :D

very well, I will use that afk tick to panic

This is very in-depth. Thanks Kirby :)

[@NS-qx5mt]

Hey kirby, just wanna say, I completely love everything you're about. I've used countless guides from you and popped in the stream a few times to say hi but I just want you to know i love your place in the community. turbo-gamer with insane determination with a demeanor that can only be described as fun. the osrs community benefits greatly from gifted players who teach their skills. thanks bud

Been waiting for this one. Thanks Kirby😁

Oh hey I just seen you at TOA talking about updating this guide. Didn’t realize it was you I always watch your guises lol

[@cvbhuiop1]

This is an awesome guide. I will never be able to do this, I didn't understand 90% of what you even said

[@celebratecrypto3693]

Perfect timing this is the only boss I can’t seem to get the red x down. I’m doing 300 got staff finally and no gem still. But baba gives me the most problems cause it hits through prayer

[@dvst_tv]

For anyone who doesnt like CTRL clicking or just isn't as comfortable with it. I've been doing a method much like this except I do 2 SHIFT click walks under Baba then run out, just watch your true tile to make sure you are under Baba for 2 ticks by moving to 2 different tiles, then run out and attack. It's not as controlled as the CTRL walk method and if you run out in a cardinal direction you can still get hit by the edge of the shadow. But I consider it a nice "freestyle" method rather than always depending on setting up redx. Redx is a 16% dps loss so it's better to use it as a resource rather than depending on it.

[@senken12]

This is an incredibly dangerous thing to do, cause the 2nd shift click is going to move Baba in a random direction

[@darkaliebaba99]

This dude is like the second coming of woox

absolutely insane. kirby always coming out with the best guides

[@Dislob]

I mean the strats he comes up with are awesome but the guide kinda sucks. Very monotone voice, speaks way too quickly in a cheap walmart microphone headset, music is too loud over his voice. As a non-native English speaker, I can't understand half of what was said.

[@parkerjohnson5270]

[@byebye806]

The way you do it at 3:10 is exactly how i do it on the north side, except you only have to walk 2 tiles under baba. I guess i learned this accidentally as i used your previous guide to teach me how, and didn't realize you were clicking on the potion to walk back. Walking 3 tiles under sets you on the 2nd red x tick, walking 2 tiles under sets you on the first tick.

[@Molgoatkirby]

I'm guessing you also were waiting for 1 tick at some point before going under ba-ba in that process, as walking 2 under 2 out would be 4 ticks under baba, while 3 under 3 out is 6 ticks, 2 ticks slower, so if 2 under 2 out worked for you and put you on the early tick, that means you also waited a tick before going under, whereas in my guide I showed no waiting just moving every tick, but whatever people find easier to do they should do!

[@byebye806]

@@Molgoatkirby Ah yeah I do think i wait 1 tick for baba to adjust. I click baba as soon as she swipes, click towards the wall, wait a tick for baba to adjust, and begin red x. I never really thought about how i set it up all i know is i do the same thing consistently

[@senken12]

Worth noting that if you end up taking a melee attack from her, during p1 or p2, it's 5 ticks before you step under after you see the hit splat on your character. But on p3 it's only 3 ticks

[@damach1499]

best way is to just sit under him till he does shadow attack and your cycle is set

[@senken12]

@@damach1499 Best way is to count ticks. Then you don't unnecessarily lose dps

*Me Struggling with Giant Mole*: Ah yes of course why didn't I think of this method.

[@Sahbab11]

The phrase "afk for 1 tick" is hilarious. Yeah lemme just afk 1 tick real quick to go pee

[@smokethebear2791]

Thankyou for this guide, I was just curious, After the boulders, are you able to keep doing the red x at the bottom, or does it not work if you do that?

[@john1522]

Kirby is goated on a molecular level.

[@brianbuckley9160]

my favorite line is "you can afk for 1 tick"

[@boppin1]

Yea that’s some damn good clicking. Nerd. but very nice haha

[@dyl7452]

Lovelili invented this! She taught me like 6 months ago!

[@wukrs]

tru we been doin the lili-step for ages

[@jules6949]

after boulders at the top and you can just attack baba while on the square adjacent to her, then red x a potion, walk 3 in to center, attack baba and redx walk under 2 tiles everytime after. at the bottom i wait for baba to walk down step to the side one and do the same thing, 3in 3out, then 2in 2 out everytime after

[@Molgoatkirby]

True, whatever method people find works best for them!

the music is super distracting, I'm legitimately have issues being able to understand due to how loud the music is

[@Lovuniate]

yeah mate same, that in combination with the way he speaks just makes for a terrible guide. really really strange monotonous tone of voice mixed with a constant barrage of words.

[@JohnDoe-gm7vk]

@@Lovuniate Man I thought I was the only one. I'm being linked this guide from other guides/people but it's super frustrating because it's hard to hear and understand what Molgoat is saying with the tone/volume and the way or speed he talks

Kirby this method has been around for a while, Its called the LILI step! Lovelili invented it and shared it almost a year ago!

[@RJ---]

When you fall out of cycle how do you get back in?

[@jupitervolcano]

I've mastered the red X, but those damn boulders are my kryptonite. I have to keep the fast boulders invo off, or else it's 50/50 if I can skip with the bowfa. I also use a bowfa to attack during red x, since my iron hasn't gotten a fang yet.

[@Molgoatkirby]

If you haven't already I'd recommend my boulderskipping guide! If you have already, then ah gl!

[@danlowe95]

@@Molgoatkirby any additional notes necessary for attempting red-x with bowfa? Similar situation on my iron while grinding for fang.

[@Molgoatkirby]

@@danlowe95 If you just mean for the boulder skip part, my guide's got it all, the quick part to remember is, with boulderdash on I assume, make sure you start on the right tile like my guide shows, and then you just either insta hit and wait a tick before running thru boulder, or if you lose a tick you can insta run thru boulder after bofa-ing it. My guide will show that in more detail.

[@TektoniusPrime]

Hey, is there a possibility that you can show the advanced red x for the hasta? I'm currently trying to learn with that but I keep getting killed

[@scottwickwire-brock4736]

How close are you guys to fulfilling the 600 time req?

[@Molgoatkirby]

been rough with getting all 8 ppl together lol, but at least with this guide should help with no more ba-ba resets hopefully lol. The 600 requires a perfect speedrun with slightly above average RNG tho, so we really need everyone to be on point for it lol.

[@MrGorskiboy]

I didn't fully understand how Baba's aggro swap works in a team raid. If player 1 is red x-ing on phase 1, and then is the first to hit baba out of his boulder phase, would he swap aggro to player 2 regardless of health? How would it work if Player 1 is red x-ing but player 2 initiates the first hit out of boulder phase?

[@janitorizamped]

Initiating the hit is not relevant. Baba will swap aggro from who they last were attacking, so if the last person that baba targeted was player 1, then player 2 will always get aggro on the next swap. So you have to force an aggro swap right before the boulder phase, then she will select player 1 when she attacks next (assuming player 1 has less health than any player 3-8)

[@MrGorskiboy]

@@janitorizamped this makes sense thank you!

Does this become a 5 tick cycle then?

[@tubax926]

Always has been

[@JohnSmith-ks3qk]

This is still six tick fang though right?

[@Molgoatkirby]

Yea, ba-ba's cycle is 6-tick so red x will always be 6 tick. You can sometimes get a few 5 tick hits off, but after at most a few you'll be back in the 6 tick fang hits, and the only way to get more 5 tick hits is to tank a few ba-ba hits.

[@aaronihle8503]

this is impossible
