Duo Nex BUDGET Guide (15M GP/HR)

People have been asking for minimum budget for Nex in a duo, so here's a guide I whipped up on stream! Nex is much harder than people give her credit for and there's a lot of nuance to resetting her properly. This is the absolutely bare minimum gear I would go for a duo with, any lower and it's going to be incredibly difficult. Thralls are a must as well as completion of kandarin hard diary for the increased bolt chance.

I think it is hilarious that you flame people for using inventory tags, whilst you are using plugins that literally show you the tile where you are standing... you have almost everything highlighted when doing TOA or COX, I mean even the the vanguards are highlighted?? Why make fun of inventory tags, its so hypocritical

[@satisfyingshortsclips5530]

Way to take a joke buddy. You wrote a book response for a millisecond joke.

[@NaughtyLink115]

I think you should have recorded more example kills and then had a written guide before making this video. It's not that much more effort and would be really helpful for people getting into the boss or trying to master it. You barely explain the mechanics since this is live. I know this is the case since the twitch chat was lost a few times. You also only show what is, in my opinion, a pretty good kill. It's like if you made a Xuk guide, but refused to highlight, showcase, or even explain in great detail any possible errors that could happen, and just show a perfect run with no close calls or deaths. You also don't talk about recovery for shadow phase which, next to Zaros, is the biggest roadblock for Nex as a boss, let alone duo. "Resetting" is never explained either. I was confused by what you meant since I've always called it flipping anyway, but regardless, it should have been explained in a bit more detail since it's useful on basically every phase, and only required on shadow. Everything else is pretty good information, but a title like "Duo Nex on a BUDGET example kill (15M GP/HR)" would have been better than directly putting guide in the title. Overall good video and helped me to realize the power of my current gear in duos. Cheers for that.

[@Hedron_Archmage]

While I see your point in wanting more information. He has a advanced tactics Nex guide, which explains all these things you are missing. This is to show that Nex CAN be done in rags. Editing and voicing over takes significantly more time, its TONS more effort and you sound ignorant on the process of making/editing video content. He's a twitch streamer more than a youtuber. This is great and shows real interact with chat, and was able to answer questions on the spot, vs here, where he'd have to shift through comments. This is definitely a guide, its just not a BARE BONES IN DEPTH, name everything mechanical guide.

​​@@jacobfernandez6055You sure that's not you? Extensively explaining mechanics and showing potential mistakes is a guide. This is a pov kill with some subtle explanations. I already know how to do Nex but I like his vids and was curious what his guide would look like, this is definitely not one of his best

[@edwinmartin4527]

yo gnomonkey would be super interested in a series "shitter to quitter" where you take someone average at the game, and teach them how to play at the upper tiers of osrs, to show that the difference between average joe content and gamer content aint fair? give you a better leg to stand on in the whole higher level community argument? Just a thought, be cool to see you deconstruct some of the higher level mechanics for us bozos also

[@Chris-yv6xy]

Excellent guide. Few things I think are worth mentioning - Apologies if obvious, or if they've already been mentioned: 1. The Umbra tank should only try and step outside of Nex' range when she is not agro on them, otherwise she will drag and risk running towards them 2. If you fail the reset on P2, it's pretty safe to try and reset her again as long as she's not in 'Embrace darkness' mode 3. If you mess up the P2 reset whilst she's in embrace darkness mode and are forced to take the P2 stack, redemption can sometimes be a life safer and turning a corner can make the stack stop quicker 4. If you are forced to take any of the P3 special attacks (Contain this, or Ice Prison) due to messing up, protect from range to take less damage 5. When freeing your partner from Ice Prison special attack on P3, prioritise destroying one of the middle stalagmites to enable your partner to run out instantly can sometimes be helpful, instead of having to wait for the stalagmites to disappear

[@zapoyou2]

[@Radioalt]

Hey gnomonkey! Great video, however, you saying that you aren't gonna be GM and be in this gear DEEPLY offended me. I had no choice but to real world trade all of my gear away to feed me and my family of 7 children, 2 wives, 14 dogs and 37 goats. I came here to watch and learn how I could make a living, not to get discriminated against for my bank value, or lack there of. For this reason I have no choice but to unsubscribe from you. My apologies.

[@BlackRose3610]

Why is bowfa SO bad?

[@Hedron_Archmage]

Nex's range defense is outrageously high, and BOWFA has SHIT mage defense, worse than Karils. Bolts are used to bridge the gap. Masori is AMAZING range and mage defense.

what is this plugin for removing prayers?

[@Erikkert]

Duo’s are fun, but sometimes you get cucked. Imo trio’s are a bit more relaxing, 10 kills/h give a bit more drops/h, making it easier to camp for longer periods of time. Cause you need 7 hours in duo’s to go on rate for an item, if no1 makes a crucial mistake.

Is this more supply intensive than doing 3 man? Wanting to get into nex on my iron once I get rigour

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Yes

[@Borchert97]

Gnomonkey just FYI you're standing on the wrong spot during Umbra. If you're Umbra tank you want to stand on the east side of the room, not the north side, that way Nex never even has a chance to switch aggro to you as long as Nex tank doesn't mess up the reset. Every time Nex runs up the bridge you end up in her aggro range, there is a slim chance she switches to you as a result.

[@Borchert97]

@@johnbollo Nex attacks every 4 ticks and the Fang every 5 so you only need to walk under her on the tick she would’ve otherwise attacked you on her usual cycle. So to answer your question, if you do it properly, you will hit Nex on the same she hits you, walk under her before she attacks you again, then click to attack and you’ll step out to attack her and then she’ll be able to attack you. Doing this effectively cuts down on damage taken by 25%.

Is it worth bring bandos swap if everyone is standing melee distance except p2? Currently running armadyl/zcb 5 mans but I do karils/fang for 3

[@GnomonkeyRS]

No, Bandos is god awful in Nex. It has horrible defenses. Masori is better to camp unless you have a full Torva switch. You don't Mp2 unless everyone has Torva, not worth the risk/damage.

[@cyberwolf35]

Good video, but your math was a bit off at the end. You forgot that each drop is weighted, for every 1 hilt, you would see 2 of each torva piece/crossbow, and 3 vambs.

To ge that insta nex reset do you need to run under her when her true tile is one tile away or two tiles away?

You need to aim for her center tile. Sometimes she doesnt instant reset and you need to tick walk under her middle tile until shes stops being madge. When we are in lane, we wait until her true tile kisses the marked tile, then click, putting us in her middle tile when she walks one more step.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

You bring Lb, and both Nezi helm and Masori. No it's not worth a venator for a switch, the ring switches are worse dps than LB. The only thing switch you could do at max eff is Ultor switch while speccing with VW.

Definitely doable, but a hard amount of stats to learn on. I'd recommend doing trios first and getting down the 5 tick Nex attack tech before sending duos with those stats.

[@Hedron_Archmage]

Doable but no reason to be doing this content or really any mid/end game content without being max combat. You have NMZ, bursting/chinning in MM2 for hella fast stat boosting. Faster kills mean more gp per hour. Each stat is 1-2% per so missing 8 stat levels in strength means youre missing 16% dps which is higher than going from bowfa to TBOW. Stats>Gear

Masses are 1/43 x how many people there are there. Youll never get a drop in mass. Duo is 1/43, and is able to be done in this gear making it significantly more profitable. In 135KC, I have 1 drop in my name, and 1 split (the other person got 2 pets). Thats 4 "purples" in 135KC and 375m in my pocket.

[@PwnzorFTW]

I'd recommend practicing with larger groups first (4-6 people) and get all the motions down with that group. You want to ensure you have all the motions down before attempting 2 mans, it's very easy to mess up and force either a reset or death, both of which do not produce gp/items. BUT, once the motions are down between you and one other, it's great for drops! Or not, 50/50 chance.
