Beginner's Guide to MELT the Inferno!! Inferno Strategy Part 1

[@VideoGameBot]

I really hope you guys learn something new in this video, and that it encourages you to give it a try for your first time! We can do this guys :) Part 2 coming very soon!

[@Qroutons]

You're a beast. This video seemed super simple. hopped in for my first time ever got to wave 39 second try. Looking forward to part two and three.

[@VideoGameBot]

@@Qroutons AWESOME! Making it to wave 39 on your second attempt is nothing to be ashamed of. You should be proud! Keep going. One of the best parts about learning inferno is that you can visually see your progress being made with each and every attempt. Part 2 coming tomorrow :)

[@1337Donahue]

Loved the colosseum wave guide. Thanks for making this content more approachable for all

[@VideoGameBot]

I tried to make this guide as simple as possible. NO fancy techniques! But lots of different strategies to accomplish the same goals

[@OniTakai]

I just want to say thank you for what you do, i try to learn the efficient methods, but i still watch all of your guides. The perspective you bring really gives us learners hope, and it's so refreshing to see this kind of content. It really inspires hope for those who may be scared to try. Love the vids and can't wait for more ❤

[@eggny4877]

You’re my favorite rs video guide maker

[@Pocket02]

Just got my cape about an hour ago. 9 attempts and 2 zuks later I managed to get what I never thought was possible. Thank you for your guide! I’ve been on/off OSRS and now it’s giving me the motivation to get the quiver and dive deeper into the game

[@SmDWeed]

What? You only done 9 attempts total?

[@Shahzad-Khan]

Thanks greatly for taking my video suggestion! I'm definitely going to attempt this!

[@C0bbler1]

I got my infernal cape tonight on my Ironman thanks to you. I ended up dropping my occult and virtus top switch for bandos top and bottom with a kodai and elidinis ward like you recommended. Such a smart idea for those later waves when you know you’re going to have to tank a ranger or melee at some point. I actually had a run where I lost all pillars with the old recommended mage swaps and realized that extra mage gear in the inferno is not the move at all.. you either get the nibblers in one hit or you don’t, so you better be tanky enough to chase them down on when it’s necessary. I also want to say I got my dizana quiver a week ago using your videos as well, which in turn inspired me to go hard for my infernal cape and not give up. I want to thank you for such good guides. The way you talk, encourage others, and remain calm is just really inspiring. Keep up the good work.. you’re an amazing teacher.

[@jasperj1998]

You're honestly the best, I cleared the Colosseum with your guide and was thinking of trying out the inferno next... this came at the perfect time!

[@VideoGameBot]

I really hope it helps you! Inferno can be difficult content, and its definitely not 1 n done content, but I genuinely hope this guide, and the techniques shown in this guide will help you :) Part 2 will be coming out in just a few days!

[@boshabadoo]

Very nice guide and it’s great seeing natural mistakes and messy stacks. I also like the Aaty FCF series for being simple more tactics (it’s one step up from this) but the runs are a bit too clean because he sometimes solves situations without realizing it. I had a math teacher in middle school who should have been teaching phd students and he was so brilliant he had a hard time recognizing when or why students didn’t understand things. This is the big problem with most of the guides out there. To me the most valuable part of your teaching style is showing the basic fundamentals of the encounter so anyone can jump in and try. Thank you!

[@VideoGameBot]

Thank you very much! We definitely got a handful of messy waves in this guide, but I hope I made it clear on an alternative way of dealing with those messy stacks (utilizing the south pillar). I used to be a math tutor as well believe it or not :) One thing I try to always remember is that we all started on square 1 when we started learning. I will never forget how challenging it was for me to get into pvm, and I can only imagine that other people find themselves in similar situations. If I can relay any of the knowledge I've gained from pvm, in hopes of making things simpler for others, then I feel I have succeeded in my mission :)

[@WOLF-PACK-PROSPECTING]

Your voice resonates so well with me to help me remain calm I’m getting close but not there just yet. Great guide wish everyone would see this one because. It’s a great trainer guide and also if they wanted to practice learning wave or how NPCs move they can do so with little worry thanks to the tank gear

[@kenshinZakky]

You are the Bob Ross of Inferno capes, Thank you so much for this series dude, you really made this content approachable for normal people who can't 1t or 2t flick consistently under pressure for 2hrs at a time, I just got my cape today after 15 attempts Found your guide after my 9th attempts and did a TON of zuk sims and triple jad sims Wound up only seeing zuk once and I am SO happy to finally have the cape. Can't wait to watch whatever guides come in the future, you deserve all the views and subs!

[@VideoGameBot]

Congrats, king! Wear your new cape with pride :) And thanks a lot ^.^

[@jamesson2098]

Really awesome video. It's easy to get sucked into trying to do the super-efficient stuff all the time, and learning these basic solving skills definitely makes things less complicated in a pinch. Feel like this video showcases the fundamentals and serves as a perfect first step to learning.

[@fuhkbiden]

I swear you have the best vids man

[@JavierPwns]

Already have two inferno KC but I’m going to give this a watch

[@Vuldra]

Love your videos very chilled way of explaining things! Keep it up

[@cpzd83]

I'm not even planning on doing the inferno anytime soon, I'm just here to support you and listen to your commentary

[@VideoGameBot]

Thank you so much for your support :) Sorry about all my dopey little one-liners haha

[@alan__6453]

Hey man, this was an awesome video. I watched it at work today and got home and tried the inferno for the first time. In 3 attempts I got to round 30, really I could have gotten farther each death because I had a ton of supplies left but was trying to save them for some reason. Thanks for putting this out and doing wave by wave and explaining tactics and strategies. It’s been incredibly helpful

[@gyundie28]

Awesome guide! Im an iron who just got bofa so im going to send some early waves just to learn, while working on upgrades. Great tips!

[@Jimmy-The-Jackhammer]

The mad man is back at it again!

[@detourdunndee7753]

Just got my cape with Bowfa after waiting on the new prayer regen potions to be released, and I owed a lot to this guide and the flinch methods. Got to Zuk in only 7 tries! One thing that helped with south pillar solves that I don't think was shown in the vid is you can corner trap with the south pillar's southeastern corner. It really helps with controlling things that slide down the east side of the pillar, like the mager does at 58:55. Standing on the the east side of the marked tile would have trapped the mager. Hope someone else finds this helpful in their attempts! :)

[@Augystys]

Extremely informative, you make this look possible for casuals. I'd ganna give it a solid few attempts in the next few days. Thank you dood.

[@VideoGameBot]

I wish you all the success in the world! It will take a bit of practice, don't get discouraged. One of the best things about learning inferno is that you can visually SEE your progress being made attempt after attempt. Part 2 will be coming out in a few days, we will be dealing with the rest of the waves, all the way up to triple jad :)

[@Augystys]

@@VideoGameBot I'll definitely tune in!

[@mattdrifts]

Looking forward to this when I'm eventually ready to take it on

[@scareram]

i already have my cape, but i really like how you to teach things, i was thinking of sharing your vids with some of my friends who dont have the cape

[@VideoGameBot]

Thank you :) I try to avoid the meta prayer-flicking techniques in my inferno guides, as I've found they can be off-putting and intimidating to first-time learners. There are ways to beat the inferno without learning those strategies, and thats why I try to show here.

[@KingPractice]

I’m a pre inferno quiver owner so I’m eager to get back into grinding the inferno. The furthest I’ve gotten is wave 56 in 4 attempts. The length is what stopped me initially. That’s why the colosseum was easier to grind out. I didn’t lose hours per attempt to a single mistake. I also don’t have a tbow which sucks but it’s not that bad. Love your guides I’ll keep you posted on the progress.

[@VideoGameBot]

I cant wait to hear about your accomplishments! Definitely keep me posted. Dont give up!

[@Dakintosh]

Have been waiting for this from you! I'd like to get an infernal this year

[@rarecorgi]

SUPER helpful video! I got to wave 46 on my first try, but my smooth brain decided to attack the melee instead of waiting, and got smacked by the mager Definitely gave me a lot of confidence though :D

[@VideoGameBot]

You can do it! Keep practicing, go slow and steady, always begin late waves with pray mage, and dont be afraid to use tank gear if necessary :) You CAN hit nibblers with tank gear on no problem

[@Tyler_Gill_Music]

If you ever do a mage only inferno (shadow/kodai) guide I will give you such a big high five

[@currentcommerce4774]

justi is a direct upgrade over bandos in this situation full set gives like 20% damage soak, maybe more with a bulwark.

[@VideoGameBot]

100% fact. Justi is so pog when going with this strategy. I just wanted to keep it semi-iron-friendly and show that you dont NEED justi if you dont have it for some reason. I know tbow/elidnis ward arent super iron friendly, but I try to touch on that during the gear explanation

[@Haqimharris]

Which is harder, Colosseum or Inferno? Always loving your guide man!

[@VideoGameBot]

I think the inferno waves are longer, more volatile, and have more randomness with regards to getting good/bad spawns. But I think Sol Heredit is a harder final boss than Zuk. Overall, I would say the Inferno is slightly harder than the Colosseum. But that doesn't mean we can't make it a bit easier than many have been led to believe!

[@TheSporno]

What is that timer above your players head? What plugin is that

[@VideoGameBot]

Its the "visual metronome" plugin :)

[@owww8463]

Can you do a tob guide for teams. I’m struggling with Verzik p2. Such as tanking, bursting crabs, and scythe walk?

[@Kurvier]

lets get it

[@0CYBORG0]

been at it this guide is thorough and i appreciate it but i just don't think im built for this, so much to remember, on top of not having too much play time. Its almost like i cant retain the info once im in there and panic clicking around pillars for a bad spawn blah.

[@VideoGameBot]

I understand that. The inferno is a very long run, taking most learners/first timers a full 2 hours to complete. 2 hours of nonstop thinking, focusing, and implementation of mechanics. I don't suggest this content is for everyone. Many people will still decide to leave this content behind. And that is totally 100% fine. My goal with this video is to show those who are interested in giving it a try, but are still worried about the techniques they might have heard of before, that there IS an alternative. And while that alternative might still be somewhat complicated, it can help to simplify the process, even if its just a little bit. Wishing you all the luck :)

[@DamonJohnson-m5r]

What add on do you use for the visual metronome?

[@VideoGameBot]

[@DamonJohnson-m5r]

@@VideoGameBot duh :p

[@Accountant_of_RS]

Thank you for making this. If I don’t have a max cape, is the Regen bracelet worth it without max cape? Would this strategy work if I brought the following replacements: quiver + rada’s blessing 3, zaryte vambs, ring of suffering (i), guardian boots, extra restore instead of SGS, and anguish/occult swap? Or what would your advice be with the swaps I suggested?

[@C0bbler1]

Use the quiver and vambraces if you don’t have max cape. Use a lightbearer and blowpipe and leave the sgs behind if you can lazy flick on the easy parts at the very least. that blowpipe spec heals for a lot and does some serious damage during those harder waves and can help you clutch up and the lightbearer will save you a lot of time and possibly the whole run. As for the mage gear.. I used a kodai,elidinis ward(f),bandos top and bottom as my mage swap…. Left the traditional mage top and occult behind after I had a run where i got really unlucky on nibbler splashes and lost all my pillars.. made me realize that mage gear isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. (Edit) I saw you got your cape on another video comment just after I posted this to you.. oops haha… big congrats though, let’s gooooo!

[@Accountant_of_RS]

@@C0bbler1 I appreciate you taking the time to respond and provide advice! Yeah haha super stoked I finally got it. Thanks man!

[@iJolp]

cant wait to try lol

[@TheBob56782]

Don’t have the smithing req for the fortified ward but was thinking an arcane would be a good substitute to get the mage bonus without sacrificing tank gear. Would that work?

[@VideoGameBot]

definitely!

[@TheSethywethy]

Crystal shield would be smarter. Has huge range defense bonus.

[@H20zz]

Is bowfa or ZCB with armadyl better at inferno on a 70 def build?

[@H20zz]

And what spec would you recommend with 60 att?

[@VideoGameBot]

I'm not 100% sure which is better. My best guess is bofa? I think crossbow requires slightly different zuk mechanics as well. Can't confirm. Never used a crossbow before. However, as for spec weapon, can you use an eldritch staff? Kinda expensive. But its pretty pog for prayer regen.

Did u say burr-oes and just-a-car? What are those?

[@PepsiMaxL1me]

Who did your s65 for you buddy?

[@VideoGameBot]

I did :3 Took me 14 or 15 tries, 4 brews. I used an interesting gear setup that allowed me to keep protection prayers + rigour on for 63 full minutes nonstop. This allowed me to more or less brute force it with efficient dps, while not worrying so much about prayer flicks. My cheesy strats are kinda infamous in the WDR inferno discord rofl. IDK if thats a good thing or not XD edit: I hope you realize that this guide is specifically made to NOT use ANY high level / meta techniques. I refused to use any sort of meta flicking techniques, to show that it is possible, and you don't need to learn those strats to earn your cape.

[@Akwler]

Its not a good thing.@@VideoGameBot

[@screlle1]

so your saying inferno is easy just need a couple bill no big deal

[@VideoGameBot]

This is not a budget run. Bofa makes things harder, but it is doable. That said, I am also not saying its easy. I'm saying we can make it significantly "easier" than many people might think. We do not need to learn fancy prayer techniques to be successful in the Inferno, and there are alternative strategies that can be used.

[@angrybob8126]

In first couple minutes he says this isn’t a budget guide
