IRONMAN Inferno Teaching Stream (OSRS)

Here is another inferno teaching stream, this time with a bit more ironman friendly setup. A 15% damaging magic weapon is best, kodai, nightmare staff or staff of the dead all are equally effective. If you can't get these, the next best option is any of the ancient sceptres although it's far worse. Devouts work, pegasians work, snakeskin boots work. Lightbearer, Ring of the Gods and Suffering are all fairly similar, although I find lightbearer to typically be the best option (and cheapest). Ahrim's works fine, virtus or ancestral pieces are upgrades. Keep in mind I used dragon darts while noodling horribly on the healers, so use the best supplies you can! Make sure you have plenty of runes and potions, and don't worry about using everything you have (you spent them and intend on using them as you jumped in). If you got your cape make sure you let me know at the stream or below!

Been loving the inferno guides, haven't attempted yet but your guides are giving me a bit more confidence. Thank you mr gnome guy

[@renegad3s]

Really appreciate you taking the time to do this video/guide, going to be refering back to it a lot.

[@carj4791]

Perfect timing for this! Working on getting Rigour unlocked and then going to start learning Inferno on the UIM. Should be able to go in with this exact setup so this is great.

[@Mheath13]

Not gonna lie you might be the new fav for osrs content! Great guides and helper vids.

Ohh😅,thank you so much for the inferno guides,really helped alot, i finally got my first cape 3 weeks ago

[@user-kt6dr9qm1r]

You're about a week late for me:P Thanks to your vids I got my inferno cape on both my ironman and main last week. Thanks so much brutha

[@owenperrett5803]

Inspired me to just send it after being fairly scared of it taking a long time to learn...surprisingly ended up going to waves like 56, 54, 60 on first 3 attempts, then got to triples and double clicked a prayer....Then in my next like 6 attempts I made it to Zuk 4 times. "Kill the boss" mentality certainly helped - but I also found a lot of the time my BP (w dragon darts) was noodling on healers. My successful attempt I noodled pre-jad and pushing to healers so waited for the 2nd set which thankfully got pumped, then I ended up swapping to bowfa for healers after the first tagging pass started moving and that made them easy. 3 restores and 2 brews left! So happy to finally have this thing. Wish I didn't put it off! Thanks - Between you and Aty videos I learned everything I needed.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Congrats!!! Just click the boss :)

[@Harry-dh2pm]

Nice attempt man, you got so far! Just a few more attempts and you'll get your cape for sure.

Big fan, been watching some of your Nex and inferno videos, had a quick gear question for you, wondering if i should swap out SOTD for blood ancient sceptre? I am an iron and did spoon dt2 so i have virtus and am wondering in my scenario which to go with. Also an really enjoying the video so far and am eager to ditch ring of suffering and sgs and go for it, the blood barrage (shadow) seems really neat

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Nope. Toxic Staff of the Dead is much better. I explain in the guide why

[@32kay12]

Perfect, I'll stick with it SOTD, thank you for the reply

[@nicsevern]

Would rigour be a blocker for a first caper? Thanks for the helpful content!

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Yes Rigour is extremely important. There are people who do use just Eagle Eye has ironmen, but kinda sucks ass.

[@iggynub]

Hey handsgnome, small error at 48:50 switching back to wave 62 from 63. Cool guide, love the content etc etc.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Thanks babe. We were having issues and just didn't catch this one. Least its smol

[@ardechey]

i'm using kodai, virtus top and occult, frequently not 1 shotting nibblers and getting dragged out. Should I just freeze one then deal with wave go back to nibblers after? Or should i just bring virtus bottoms or something would that 'guarantee' a one shot?

[@GnomonkeyRS]

You should give Nibblers 1 cast, and solve the wave. Sometimes two, if the wave is solved on its own. You don't need to one shot them persay, you just need to get the freeze off to buy time to solve the wave.

[@JorgeRamirez-pd3rr]

Hey great guide!! Question, SGS with Lightbearer or ROTD?

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Madge, No SGS.

[@MultiJesse67]

blowpipe lol

[@TrackStar3200]

I know this highly depends on nothing else being in the wave, but the pillar stack you have at 36:17 can be entirely avoided easily. Starting 1 tile north of where you are at that time stamp, you can click the tile that is 2 south and 3 west from where you are and you would have corner trapped the mage and could freely hit the ranger if you wanted. Not often it pops up but it is simple and free. Also would work with the stack you had at 18:50 conveniently enough lol.

[@TrackStar3200]

Ok I now see you've done exactly this at45:51 lol sorry for the pre-emptive comment

[@brycegriffin9271]

you want to kill the mager first if you can so this wouldve been a misplay there

[@TrackStar3200]

@@brycegriffin9271while I do agree, for learners simplifying things should be the priority. Even if the mage spawned the ranger again in this situation it would be fine because no stack would be created and the mage can be picked off on its own.

[@TheWarmestWaffle]

36:18 there's also the elegant solution to not dealing with the stack. Stand on the Northmost tile of the East side of the pillar and run to the Westmost tile of the South side of the pillar. The Mager will not hit you and you can freely kill the ranger. Pray mage when leaving this location.

thoughts on using ancient sceptre compared to sceptre with a jewel? if jewel is better which one would you use. Prayge quick response

[@randomunlistedvids]

Mr. Gnomonkey, on my ironman I have a blood sceptre. Can you do a run comparing all 4 sceptres? I think Shadow Sceptre might just be useful enough to bring.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

:angry reaction face:

[@urm9m703]

The only monster Shadow Sceptre would have a thought of being useful on in the Inferno is Zuk, which you have a 14.35% chance of landing a Shadow Barrage on in a 4 way mage switch, 16.5% if you take off Pegs+Crystal Helm. 7 casts of Shadow Barrage (100%) puts you down 35 ticks, call it 36 so 9 Bowfa hits. It'd reduce Zuk's Def by 16.5%, bringing him down to 217. Assuming you let healers heal 150 HP, Bowfa+Rigour takes an average of 238 seconds to kill him without drain, or 215 seconds with the Shadow drain. 36 ticks on average to land a Shadow Barrage is 21.6 seconds, and you kill Zuk 23 seconds faster with the Shadow drain, assuming it stays drained the whole time. You're going to save an average of 2 ticks per fight at the significant tradeoff of not being able to heal back to 108 in between each wave with blood sceptre, while also putting yourself at a disadvantage with the timing of the Sets since you're frontloading 21 seconds of dealing basically no damage, let alone if you go unlucky and take 14+ casts to land a Shadow Barrage. The only time this could be semi-useful is if trying to do a Jad skip and you gamble on landing the Shadow quickly.

[@randomunlistedvids]

@@urm9m703 so you're saying there's a chance. Where are the other 3 sceptres

[@urm9m703]

@@randomunlistedvids Smoke is dead content in the inferno, you want to kill the nibblers not poison them and heal off NPCs not poison them, Ice is dead content because accuracy is already so high, Blood is BIS unless Eldritch/experienced.

@@GnomonkeyRS you're actually the man.

[@jokerrrr2313]

I dont see the positive side of bringing more mage switches then occult/Staff for barrages unless you are good at inferno anyway. For the extra 2 inv spaces (mage top/bottom) i take 2 more restores which help to just use rigour more often and get faster true waves with less flicking (less flicking= less mistakes also, for example failing a mager flick = 70hp down sometimes).

[@GnomonkeyRS]

The mage switches are also used for healing on high defense targets. It's fine not to bring them, but healing will taken longer.

[@stauner32]

So i made it to zuk and even got all the way to healers where i took a zuk hit and then died to healers.. Afterwards finding out that zuk attacks a lot faster when healers come out and you have to stick to shield the entire time. So that would've been nice to mention gnomonkey :( Would've gotten my cape on my first zuk attempt if i knew that

[@biggringus5499]

that wave 63 is exactly why first capers shouldnt casually let south pillar die. if you have to tank a couple blob hits to safe your south pillar, do it, because these late waves can be overwhelming, and running south and chugging brew simplifies it. lol id be curious to see a "run south" teaching stream

[@GnomonkeyRS]

South pillar solves are bandaids for lack of learning the proper solves and methods to deal with waves. I don't like teaching South pillar tech

People sleep on running south. I’m 9kc and I’ll still do it to simplify

Letting south pillar die improves pathing of mobs that spawn in the 2 southwest spots, a ranger spawn down there will shoot you if pillar is alive, and will be safespotted if pillar is dead.

@@GnomonkeyRS this shows you are very out of touch with Ironman, post-Bowfa Irons are typically 105-110cb very pre-occult (and blood sceptre). Getting an Infernal at that level is a nice upgrade.

[@TheVexar]

@@urm9m703 I doubt anyone in this position has zero infernal capes already. The people that video would apply to are people who have done inferno and should just know how to solve waves and not need a video. Also once you have bowfa you could just camp k'ril for sotd. This shows you are very out of touch with Ironman.

[@urm9m703]

@@TheVexar ur delusional bro, yeah you "could" camp kril for a 20hr SOTD that isn't nearly as good an upgrade over sceptre as is believed (you often lose ticks as a learner w/no autocast and sometimes you want to barrage down a ranger and it is tedious to do so manually, especially if you need to 1t alternate and barrage down the ranger) or you could just send Inferno attempts. I learned inferno on my 108cb iron last year with ancient sceptre/fury. Lick feet some more

[@TheVexar]

@@urm9m703 you need to get hasta for ToA anyway and zammy hilt lookin pretty good for muttas now with CoX changes. So it's either 15 hours extra or no extra time spent. Plus it's BiS for ToB down the line. Learners will also go through tons of cash on blood runes and early iron won't have tons to spare if they spend their cg cash on construction and other important gp sinks in the mid game. You also wouldn't even have 90 hp, 94+ magic, and you'd only have around 70 prayer, which means you already have to take a detour for at least magic. I'd like to see proof of at least one person who's done this that hasn't done inferno before.

Blood Ancient Sceptre>SOTD for learners, the 10% dmg doesn't offset the power of 108 hp. Lightbearer is just silly for learners, no Ironman learner has Eldritch lol so any prayer ring (suffering/ROTG) is just going to be better. Feels very out of touch, maybe you should've made an Ironman instead of the comical betrayal that was the "rs"3 stint.

[@GnomonkeyRS]

Brews get you 115, And not one shotting Nibblers causes learners to chase them, and end up dying. 108HP isn't going to drill out that bad habit. Better to just one shot Nibblers and solve the wave accordingly. Rs3 died because they took away the one mechanic I wanted to do in Rs3, which was streaking. I'm not even using Eldritch in this guide, it's just an option for those who do have it. LB also gives you tons of healing and DPS specs to nuke down any problems that occur. 108HP isn't going to kill a Melee or Bat in your face.

[@urm9m703]

@@GnomonkeyRS I disagree, a learner wasting even just one brew pre-potting to 115 for 4 waves is going to get them killed to a single mistake in the later waves/during Zuk healers due to supply loss when they could simply just be at 108 hp for every single wave and have more Brew to sip when they are making the "turn on rigour and pray" solve. Not chasing nibblers is probably the easiest thing to learn in the inferno, taking less damage (so less brews are needed) is a lot harder.

I did my first cape a couple months ago and I used blood sceptre and I can confirm that that extra 10hp was amazing and just overall super comforting to be able to start every wave above 99 hp. Nibblers have no mage defense as it is, and iirc all the new sceptres have a passive bonus to ancient spells on top of the blood effect
