[@channingtaintum]

Got my first deathless solo 3:1 thanks to this video. Believe it or not, getting my first inferno cape was actually _LESS_ frustrating than learning and getting the 3:1 down. Thank you for this guide, man. Seriously, you are genuinely such an excellent teacher.

[@fallingnao3919]

Your guides are really good and the way you teach makes it really easy to get into, honestly I'd love to see guides for other content such as toa and it's related content (butterflying, red x, ect). And if you would want to make longer guides, inferno would be amazing, but personally I really love the fact that your guides are split into "smaller" videos each meant to teach one thing/method instead of the whole content all at once.

[@VideoGameBot]

Thanks for the feedback! I also think splitting the guides into smaller portions makes it much easier to digest. Needless to say, if I did an inferno guide (which I will, eventually) I would do something similar. Red x baba and butterfly sound like fun guides. Maybe I should give that a go as well :o TYVM

[@douglasjohnson2555]

Very well explained :) The only part I'm still having trouble with is the different 'possibilities' of what can happen if Olm is not *immediately* in the 4:1 pattern. I see you do a 1:0 cycle, but I can't seem to use that to "fix" him back into the 4:1 cycle, especially if I'm getting portals/acid/crystal rain thrown my way.

​​@@VideoGameBot How many stams would you recommend bringing in while learning? 2, 3?

[@VideoGameBot]

@@air5723 With this method I recommend starting with at least 3 stams. As you get better and more comfortable with the technique you will be able to downsize to 2 stams.

I don’t understand 3-1 4-1 what does that mean

[@air5723]

@@FajrLebanon 3 to 1, 4 to 1, 1 to 0 - these all mean "number of hits you DO to the number of hits you TAKE" So 3 to 1 means that you hit olm three times for every one time he hits you. 1 to 0 means that you hit olm once per cycle but he doesn't hit you at all

[@BamMajesticDawn]

Never really comment just wanted to say love the vids have helped me out a ton especially with the visual metronome walkthroughs. Would love a follow up to this using the visual metronome and explaining it with the 4:1 method. For instance is your attack tick was 4 you click to move left to avoid flame wall on 2 or 3 and such. I can probably figure out from the guide but think since most of your old guide use it would be nice to continue it for clarity for us noobs

[@waisecc]

Just want to say a big thank you! All of your CoX guides have been ESSENTIAL for me to learn how to CoX solo (well, my first cox runs in general). Simply the fact that you have tile markers on, true tile and visual metronome, makes it much easier to follow along. You then show by example and describe exactly what you're doing and what to do when messing up. No counting ticks, no going by feel and getting frustrated.

[@conorr9308]

I have one quick question, at 5:50 where he does the double auto, is the reason you didn't do a 3:1 (as you're attacking with 4:1) because the auto attack occurred with his head facing the middle? Just so I know and don't flap and go out of cycle. Cheers bud

[@VideoGameBot]

@@conorr9308 So glad to hear you enjoyed the guide! I hope it helps! To answer your question, at 5:50 you might have heard me say "because we splashed we take an extra hit", that means that I hit a bunch of zeroes in a row. unlucky. But he was already in the 4:1 cycle. So just because he turned mid and "saw" me he shot an extra basic attack, but it doesnt matter. Just stay in the 4:1 cycle, because we were already in it. Kinda confusing. TBH if youre using a lance you will rarely see this happen. It was mostly because I was using a whip and its not nearly as accurate so "splashing" can happen more often. GL!

Got my first twisted kit just this morning @ 28 solo KC using your tips on 3:0, 1:0. Its crazy how much DPS you can do with 1:0 scythe. My pb so far is only about 20 seconds off GM time. Makes me wonder how worth using 3:1 scythe on CMs even is. I'm not thinking normal GM time is possible with 1:0 scythe, so will be using this vid when I need to take down that challenge!

Perfect guide mate, just maybe let people know about the attack cycle of Olm and on the 3:1 that they need to hold a tick before repeating the cycle

[@mysticflow467]

7:40 omg this section made it so clear

[@flavioespanol8868]

Hi buddy, can i confirm we need to do the 1:0 if there's a special attack even if we have started on the correct cycle? i e starting from right hand side we've clicked attack on correct tick. Or, is this only if we're on the wrong attack tick?

[@VideoGameBot]

If you are running 3:1 or 4:1 correctly (your movement is perfect) and olm is still casting special attacks, simply do a 1:0 and it will force him to stop doing special attacks. At that point he will either automatically fall into cycle, or you can do "1 less hit" (aka 2:1 or 3:1, respectively) to force him into the 3:1 or 4:1 cycle.

Awesome video, got my first 3 deathless cox kcs thx to you with 1:0! Now I'm trying to master 4:1, I get the timing of the hits and moving the head, but why do you move in that pattern and not just stand in one place for the attacks? are you avoiding some flamewall/falling crystal/poison scenarios with that?

[@nobdog5037]

Great vid, finally managed to learn this properly. Commenting for algorithm cause you deserve it :)

[@lmagine091]

So essentially you want to rotate its attack cycle so that you're left with one basic attack into an empty event? And so does turning the head reset him into basic, empty event every time?

[@VideoGameBot]

In depth question, love it. You're right! Basically, when he head is "turning" he would actually be casting a special attack + a basic attack (turn left, turn right) Then when you're hitting him, he does a basic attack + an empty event. That's exactly what is happening while running 3:1 or 4:1! You got it

[@lmagine091]

[@kye4230]

its weird, the methods seem simple, yet im seriously terrible at it lol. all i can think is that im not timing the head right because the actual movement patterns seem so simple

[@VideoGameBot]

I suggest starting with 3:0 and 1:0 to get the head mechanics down. understand how the head works. Dont jump straight into 3:1 or 4:1 until you can do 3:0 perfectly. If youre struggling with 3:0, focus on simply running the head without attacking, just run far left, and far right, and use your visual metronome to understand what tick to "move" on. If olm turns his head on tick 4, you need to click on tick 3 (that way you also run on tick 4). Dont get frustrated, take it slow, go in with a learners mindset and if you die its ok, the only thing you lose is points. Take it small steps at a time, and work your way up to the higher level tech

[@kye4230]

@@VideoGameBot definitely right I think where I was going wrong was starting the fight with a dwh spec and then just trying to get in rhythm with the 3:0 but whereas your guides specify starting with the mage to be on a certain tick is what I need to do until I’m more confident with the mechanics of the head

[@VideoGameBot]

It definitely has to be tick perfect. I high recommend perfecting your 3:0 mage before jumping into methods like 4:1 or 3:1. Easing into the fight mechanics starting with 3:0 mage and 1:0 melee will make things significantly easier when learning. If still having trouble, considering practicing head mechanics. No attacks. Just run far left and far right and pay attention with how the head spins with respect to your visual metronome. Take note: if you notice the head is turning on tick 3 for example, that means you need to click on tick 2, so your avatar begins running on tick 3 (same tick olm turns his head) I hope this helps. Don't give up. Go in with a learners mindset. Things get easier with practice!

[@darylsavage119]

Why do you do the running around when doing the 4 melee hits, can you explain that? I get the moving the head to the middle, but why not camp far right finger and hit him 4 times

[@VideoGameBot]

The additional movement is to dodge potential flame walls. If you stand still you risk getting caught in the flame. You also need to be somewhat close to your middle tiles to end your 4:1 cycle because you dont have enough ticks to run from pinky to mid (after attacking) in 4 ticks.

[@higoralmeidamazzeo661]

You werent able to show here a 4:1 with olm hitting you twice. In the video you said "you do an extra attack, so you do 3 quick attacks and he is back on cycle" It got me a little confused. If Olm does two attacks in a row, should I attack Olm 5 times or 3 times instead of 4?

[@VideoGameBot]

"do 1 less hit". If you're doing 4:1, and you see olm do a double attack, do a 3:1, and he will be set :) Watch this timestamp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXzVpoScismJjas

[@higoralmeidamazzeo661]

Sorry, I heard "more" instead of "less". Don't know why. I am having difficult setting him up when he does two standard attacks. My third hit should be in the thumb instead of the middle finger, right? I think I cant reach the left side in time if I do this third hit in the middle finger, or can I? And this 3:1 to set olm should be done after a 4:1 where I see the two consecutive attacks, right?

[@higoralmeidamazzeo661]

Also another thing I see people saying is that to set olm I should wait a tick in my third hit of the first 4:1 I throw at Olm. In this pathing you show in the video, is already a tick late?

[@VideoGameBot]

@@higoralmeidamazzeo661 your 3rd hit can be middle finger, but your 4th hit should definitely be on the thumb. I dont think you will be able to get left fast enough if youre not 4th hitting from the thumb. Yes, the 3:1 should be directly after a 4:1 where you see 2 regular attacks. When people talk about "lagging" a tick, I think they are probably referring to 3:1. You have to lag a tick after your 3rd hit while doing 3:1. 4:1 is tick perfect or you fall out of sync.

[@higoralmeidamazzeo661]

Thanks bro. I just did my first 4:1 with no death and got the A Not So Special Lizard CA 😅 I did 4:1 in the first and second phase and 1:0 in the last phase, cuz I didnt want to mess up when the hand was healing.

To do a 3:1 as you described you will want to do 3 hits, and then instead of staying for your 4th hit, run immediately back to the "left" tile where you begin your engage from.

No. Lets say you do a 4:1, and olm uses one of his special attacks (lightning, portals, or crystals). At this point you do a single 1:0 After that you go back into the 4:1 cycle. He will either be automatically set (50%) or he will use a double normal attack (50%). If hes set, just do 4:1 til the hand dies. If he uses 2 basic attacks, perform a 3:1 (and then he will be set)

[@davidc2168]

Is there a correlation between the tick you attach on during 3:0 mage hand, to what tick you should attack hand in 4:1 / start 4:1?

My issue has been working out which tick I should be clicking the hand after running left, which would help recover after getting out of cycle

[@VideoGameBot]

There is! Let's hypothetically say olm is attacking on tick 1: When you do 3:0, you also attack on 1. When you did 1:0, you began running on tick 1. Now, when you do either 4:1 or 3:1 (doesn't matter which) you begin the cycle on tick 1. Hope that helps!

@@SoulSpice Thanks for the update dude! Thats so awesome :) Any solo purps yet??

[@SoulSpice]

@@VideoGameBot I've gotten extremely lucky! In the first 10 learner raids I had an ancestral top and d claw drop. Deathless runs I've acquired two arcane prayer scrolls and last night a dex scroll! All within 45 raids!

how do u do mage hand with shadow?

[@alexgrayson1]

Great guide - can you share your tile markers please?

[@bigjvilly8278]

Yoo great job on the olm guides. I got my first solo kc because of you so thank you!! Can you consider doing a solo shadow guide for Olm's mage hand, please?

[@VideoGameBot]

Thats awesome to hear! great job dude. Wish respect to a shadow guide, as far as I know there are 3 different shadow methods: 12:0 8:1 2:0 the first 2 are very complicated. They require very fancy footwork, lots of things to memorize, and even attack style changes mid-cycle. I do not plan to make a guide on such a complicated method right now. 2:0, however, is very simple. even easier than 3:0. If I make a shadow guide, I would be teaching this method.

[@bigjvilly8278]

@@VideoGameBot Thanks! I didn’t know there were so many shadow methods. Would appreciate any vid. Keep up the content, king.

[@valdack1]

Thank you so much for the guide, this makes a lot of sense. I have one question about the movement between hit 2 and 3 in the 4-1 cycle. Is there a reason you walk to the right and back to the left between the hits?

[@VideoGameBot]

There is a chance that he throws a flame wall. If you walk right then back left real quick you have a good chance of avoiding it!

[@Akwler]

Only necessary on flame phases or p3 when all the phase specific attacks are available. If you get crystal or acid p1/p2 you can skip the jump step and just walk towards thumb with your empty ticks. With this movement you can still get a flame wall but you won’t be trapped in it. If you move out to the wall and get dragged in for the attack you can null the flame wall entirely

[@VideoGameBot]

@@Akwler This is correct, and goes into better detail than I did with my comment

Should I deiron if I don't enjoy raids in this game?

[@mattdrifts]

Raiding probably the better thing on mains. If you don't enjoy raids probably play another game tbh
