Really well made video, nicely structured. You definitely hit all the marks you set out to: it's simple and very informative. Also I noticed some of the little scenes you filmed during the intro. It's a nice touch! 😊 I don't want to sound creepy or anything, but you have a really nice voice I could listen to you talk all day hahaha! 😅 But honestly, your delivery is fantastic at removing a lot of the pressure of this challenge. Very calming 😊😌🙏

[@neversleep8820]

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!: 800 Scales is not enough to complete fight caves anymore. You will hit a lot more 0's since the blowpipe nerf. I learned this the hard way. I have 91 range and used Addy darts. I went in with about 2,000 scales and by wave 44 I only had 471 left. I teleported out because I calculated that on average it would have taken me too many scales on the magers than I had (maybe I could have poison ticked, but it felt like a waste of time). I suggest going in with 2000 Rune darts and 5k scales. That might be an over estimate, but it's a lot better than coming up short. >:(

[@dielaberbrudergaming6288]

Would the bowfa be a better idea?

[@misero6130]

I took 3k scales in at 75 range and came out with 800 scales left and a fire cape. I’d say 3k is the sweet spot. 3.5 if you want to be safe.

Just want to say thank you for making this guide. The simplicity in which you explained everything was very helpful. I managed to defeat Jad and get the fire cape today after 2 failed attempts against Jad. For anyone struggling, don't give up. It's just a matter of practice and keeping calm. I would recommend you bring more than 800 scales because I brought 1500 and ran out at wave 55. 2000-2500 would be sufficient. Also, adamant darts are good enough if you want to save on cost. Good luck to all!

I always figured it would be too difficult for me, but your detailed explanations gave me the confidence to beat Jad. Got a little squirrely when the healers came out so i misclicked and got hit by Jad but was able to tank it.

[@Pwrkaril]

I don't normally like/comment, but this video was incredibly informative compared to most other videos. Other videos become complex within seconds watching it, but this was so informative on just the basics, which is all that is needed, that I was able to complete it first try. Appreciate the advice and tips. Liked for sure.

Thank you for this guide. I’ve tried it three times, failing twice, and succeeding the third attempt with a Jad task + slayer helmet. The healers fully respawned THREE TIMES but after killing them a fourth time and running perilously low on super restores for prayer, I did it! Got my fire cape. I have exactly ZERO desire to do that again.

[@joecarioca1]

Thanks for the amazing guide man. It helped me get it in 2 tries. If I may give two additions to this guide: - Take way more darts & scales: I had about 2k darts & 3k scales, this was plenty and didn't have me worry during the fight - The healers at the end can respawn if they manage to heal Jad to full hp. This threw me off the first time I tried it. So I would recommend tanking them as well. Anyway, I'm part of the fire cape club now, cheers!

[@SireFOSS]

Got my first firecape Saturday, thanks! Used blessed d'hide, Barrows gloves, blowpipe + rune darts, a fury, rada's blessing 2 and a Neitiznot's helmet. Took 64 minutes at 84 range. My advice would be to bring less Sara brews and more bastion potion, it makes the fight quicker and easier.

[@JoshStrifeHayes]

Gratz dude, its a tough fight!

[@bongchambers5148]

Thanks for making this video, 10/10 guide for anyone going into the caves for the first time. I have always put off doing the fight caves for the longest time because I thought learning them would require a lot of time and effort but after watching this video I had a lot of confidence in finally attempting the caves. You explain things very well and concisely and have a good voice to go along with the great information. Anyone that isn't sure about doing the caves themselves can rest assured if they follow this guide they will get the cape. I have never attempted PvM in runescape before and was able to complete the caves on the second attempt, the first attempt I got to wave 42 and died due to fidgeting with my protect prayer instead of just leaving it on magic the whole time so it was entirely my fault. Went in with 84 range/health and 65 prayer, 3 bastion potions, 6 sara, 1 stamina and the rest were full restores, ended up using all my sara and had like 6 full restores left and didn't even need to drink my stamina once with 72 agility. Also decided to pop a cheap ranging/defense potion before I went in the second time and the stats remained once inside so I'd recommend doing that. The blowpipe special attack healing came in clutch, try to use it on the rangers for best health return. Best of luck!

[@iNomNomAwesome]

DO NOT bring at least 800 scales like the guide says, bring like 3k just in case. I had to suicide on wave 50 because i only brought 1200 thinking i was safe

I love this guy, I didn’t even need to watch this video but I thought I’d support him and give him a view anyway. When I get fed up and have gone through a frustrating day, any of his content helps. Simply because I can appreciate his intellect, he steers me back onto path. We’re all people and one person can’t control everything. Besides, no matter how stupid some people are, I still have the benefit of reassurance. I know it’s a strange comment, but thanks man. It’s been almost 72 hours of trying to be of assistance to my in-laws, flooding their daughters house, only to find out in the last hour that someone turned off the sub pump and because of that, when the house flooded it tripped the breaker, meaning they had turned it back to the on position and failed to mention their involvement. Of course, with it being the Holliday weekend there wasn’t a service tech available until Wednesday. Thereby resulting In oblivious obligations. Only to find out... that if they hadn’t panicked, focused on their prayer flicks, I could have answered their questions of “what to do” over the phone. So now I’m tired and rambling on KZbin. Initially I had planned on omitting the details of my endeavor but ... like I said I’m pooped. Peace! (I don’t use twitch, otherwise I’d follow you)

[@MozillaNL]

I had 1800 scales and 2000 darts, during the 2nd part of my fight with Jad I ran out of scales and had to continue with throwing the darts by hand.

Thanks a lot for your guide, first try fire cape with your exact set-up minus archers ring.

I watched yourv video quite a few times, and your accent and presence is encouraging. My first time jad ever, ran full guthans and blessed dhidebody and blowpipe and confidently got to jad with plenty of supplies left. Much appreciated and well broken down video.

[@arian3164]

I already knew how to fight Jad, but still watched the whole vid cause of your accent

[@mrcowers]

I have been following your content for a while now, but only today found your bossing videos, got back into Runescape a year or two ago playing off and on and the Fire Cape always sounded so distant. I tried reading the wiki for strategy, and videos of other creators, but yours was so much more streamlined and didn't feel like a wall of text I had to parse through. I Screenshotted your notepad for the waves, got the items necessary, and managed to complete the fight caves on my first try after watching this video. Amazing guide.

[@BekcRS]

My main issue is "Jad Hands" I know everything, I can do it but when it comes to Jad its the pressure of if i fail i have to go through the long process again. I think the way you switch prayers will be a very helpful approach for when i next attempt him.

[@HypurrDom]

it may sound stupid, but the way i was able to get past my jad hands and get my cape was to convince myself that either i didnt need the cape or that it wasn't worth it. you don't necessarily need to do that, but on my final fire cape run where i actually killed jad, i had gone in with the thought that it was "only for a joke" i think the best way to go about getting your first fire cape is to take the caves seriously enough to get through the caves with supplies and try not to die, but also to keep in mind that, at least for the time being, it doesn't matter if you die like i said its a weird sounding and almost counter-intuitive strategy for beating jad anxiety, but it worked for me!! good luck, keep at it, you can do it!

[@GryphStone]

@@HypurrDom That makes sense, and reminds me of what my cousin used to do. To relieve anxiety he would just state "i'm going to die" (this was when he was around 12 I believe, it's been a long time)

[@HypurrDom]

@@GryphStone yeah its that same kind of technique! it's really odd when you type it out, but it's even more odd when it actually works somehow. you wouldn't think it would, but it does??

[@GryphStone]

@@HypurrDom It's kinda like accepting defeat so there's no pressure to succeed

[@TheFatSteez]

I was calm enough going into the fight.. then jad spawned out of camera view and two hit me...

[@ZombieOmi]

Picked up the game 2 months ago with no prior experience with OSRS or any MMO's. This guide was a god send with getting my first fire cape on a combat lvl 75 account. Thanks for this guide mate

[@Argentrunner]

Killed Jad on my first try after watching this guide, thank you :D

[@JoshStrifeHayes]

Congratz man, wear that cape with pride!

[@Ken-sn7zi]

ofc you did. ive been trying to kill jad for years. every time i get to him, i get nervous, misclick and die. im fucking trash

[@staffitup]

@@Ken-sn7zi hey buddy you got this next time

[@Chspas]

@@Ken-sn7zi I'm here waiting for the day you get it bro. Keep your head up!

[@Willsr14]

I know this is a 4 year old video and you probably won't check this comment, but you helped one more player achieve their childhood dream today

[@KC-bg1th]

You sound like a voice actor in a tutorial, and after reading the comments, I realized I'm not the only one who felt that kind of cadence.

[@JoshStrifeHayes]

Thanks, i actually am a voice actor :)

[@ADHDlanguages]

I've had huge nerves about trying caves forever. This is gonna give me the confidence to give it a go! Thanks man.

[@twizzybrawlstars2453]

Haha I'm the same man, just the thought of trying it has made me nervous lol. Gonna get it done tonight

[@AnonymousAnonymous-ue6bs]

I’m not stuck down here with Jad. He’s stuck down here with me.

[@Weaselnewt]

Thanks to this top bloke I got the fire cape on my first attempt. My internet timed out for a few seconds on Jad and I got the Near Miss combat achievement in addition. EZ

[@MegaSharkRudra]

Before wave 61 ends, make sure you are in the middle of the map so you can see exactly where the orange mager spawns. If you are not in the middle of the map, the orange mager may end up moving to get within magic range of you. This screwed me over on my first attempt; I killed the orange and then was all "wait a minute, where's Jad?"

[@adrianjerkin123]

THIS

[@mikebarnes7441]

You can know the Jad spawn location based on wave 3 though..

[@MCeeEscher]

Just came here to say that your guides are fantastic. Just got my fire cape tonight, and this video helped enormously.

[@JoshStrifeHayes]

Congratz Liam, well done :)

[@TheATOMICGOBLIN]

Thanks I got my Fire Cape :) (Second try after panicking at healers hahaha)

[@MrKfloz]

what are your stats??

[@farishijjazi4766]

Thank you so much for this guide. Just killed Jad for the first time ever!! A little tip is to go until wave 3 and check where the level 45 spawns. If it's south of Italy rock you're in luck because you can stand in the corner north of Italy rock and take no damage from Jad. This gives you time to calm your nerves, drink pots if needed and you can even lure the healers and kill them without have to worry about Jad.

[@MrRedeyedJedi]

I remember playing this back when a rune c Bow and diamond e bolts were a go too and bastion potions didn't exist. I used boiled sweets also. Got it to like 25% health with a friend helping, then the dial up internet went and lagged me out just long enough to get killed. Now, 11 years later, I am here for my revenge.

[@brianvillalobos2823]

Good luck tho

[@MSB_Rich]

Thank you so much, this is by far the best guide on Jad KZbin has to offer. After three tries I managed to get my very own fire cape, thanks in no small part to your calm demeanor, encouraging words, and useful information. Thanks again!

[@JoshStrifeHayes]

You're very welcome!

[@russellbagnall5577]

literally got to jad with this guide and i mucked it up on jad himself, ended up being a lot to watch for me. dunno if i will make my way back in there for a while, losing that close to the end is really discouraging.

[@n3onnnn]

Keep trying man, try going into it with the mindset that you’re going to be unsuccessful so it isn’t as discouraging. Good luck!

[@Oneshtforfun]

I get it man, it took me like 4 tries to get it, and I made it to Jad multiple times.... we don't talk about the try that I died to a mager, that never happened. It was so depressing reaching Jad, getting him low and panic switching prayer, but I actually ran into a person outside on my second last attempt that was also struggling. You aren't alone man, and you aren't awful at the game. You just gotta keep your nerves in check, but everyone who is trying new content is struggling, because you get excited, your adrenaline spikes, your hands shake, you're mind is playing tricks on you. Breathe, stay calm, don't let your excitement win! Ignore that you're actually about to win, and focus on the moment, you'll have lots of time to lose your mind after that cape is on your shoulders :) Good luck bro

[@russellbagnall5577]

@@Oneshtforfun I will eventually get back in there, it was just one of those victory was so close then failure. I opted to work on some other skills primarily strength (currently 96 trying to get to 99), I also wanted to raise my range level to something like 80+ before diving back in there just to make it easier on myself

[@Dislob]

Yes, its discouraging but somehow when I died to jad the first time I got so frutrated with myself for messing up something so simple that i went and bought supply for a 2nd try right aaway and got it out of frustration lol

[@mackprice6981]

Fire cape achieved thanks to this video. I've never commented on a video before but I'm very grateful you put this up!

[@marcusmartinsen1016]

Super calm the whole way and then gets to Jad and i've never had so much panic

[@spaghettigag1376]

Ive watched this before but after watching other content creators, I can confidently say that you make THE BEST guides. Super informative, reassuring, very easy to understand, leaves no important detail in explained… well done my friend! You earned my subscription! Keep it up!

[@pipelock1551]

Getting to jad has been pretty easy, I just keep messing up the prayers by not switching back and forth quick enough. Im close to almost 10 attempts now and its so disheartening. EDIT: The guide has been extremely helpful, and I have been following it from the start and its been invaluable, I just keep messing up the prayer swaps. Thanks for making this, I wouldn't be getting through the waves without it.

[@Spiffy35]

thats one thing in this guide is that its easy to recognize the mistakes! im just starting my fire cape got slapped. going back in again with my confidence from this guide!

[@Popsiclefrig]

I literally had the Jad portion of the fight on repeat just so it would get engraved into my brain. I panicked and got hit twice by jad during my first run. second time around i was much more confident and less stressed. managed to get my first ever fire cape thanks to this amazing guide. Cheers man

[@RedSlugah]

i did exactly the same thing couple minutes ago and died lmao

[@artistrasmusolesen]

Fucked up against Jad :/ Let's try again tomorrow Good turorial though, just what I needed to get started

[@suzimclean8777]

This just happened to me too! got all the way to Jad and fucked it

[@explosivemints]

This guide helped so much man, thank you! the tip to always be on ranged prayer and switch to magic along with doing one thing per attack was the real key for me!

[@segment9007]

Ok might try runescape later

[@WorkableWax]

very casual rs player here, workin stiff just tryin to occasionally game, i played since i was a kid. wasnt able to get a firecape till rs3 added all those crazy abilities, but your process on holding ranged and than switch to mage really saved me in osrs, i really appreciate it. took me over 11 tries in osrs.
