*CORRECTIONS* It was brought to my attention that you can in fact just pick the pet rock back up and don't need to store some in your bank, I don't know how in the hundred plus hours of working on this video it never occurred to me to try this but thanks to those who pointed this out.

[@konanamegakure4342]

why when you can leave it dropped and use empty spaces for loot?

[@konanamegakure4342]

it takes 100h+ hours for 20 minute video?

[@ilgmabails]

@@konanamegakure4342 Obviously he means during his total time killing the bosses

[@NathanTheNinjaTaylor]

Only one correction after two months, that's a high quality video. I've probably watched two dozen times. Thanks for your contribution to the community!

[@morganahassell1994]

Why not just get the pet rock back from the kid every time you run up to water birth isle or is there a better way to water birth. Relekka tele, grab your rock, leave the rock at the door you prob want the extra inventory space. Also just bring one rune axe if it doesn't disappear then alch it.

[@chucknorrisHAX]

I've watched a bunch of OSRS guides, this being one of the most through and well organized I've seen. much love; I'm gonna get me those rings

[@gj137484]

i'm halfway through and love the editing and presentation style. can't wait til you take over the guide market. keep it up! I also appreciate that it's not a "bring your max cape" kind of guide!

[@PrimaryGuides]

This was hands down the best DKings guide on KZbin. Awesome work man.

[@GeoffSayre]

Your explanation of how to prayer flick between prime and supreme at the same time really made sense to me! Best explanation I've seen, I feel much more confident to try that method now

[@Tusan789]

By far the best guide I've found for this content, 11/10 thank you

[@solairis5584]

Your guides are absolutely the best! It's so nice to see the minimum requirements rather than showing off max.

[@DescendedOnYou]

I've died a million times and have had very short trips to the kings but I can finally say that this guide has let me get 6-9 kills a trip! Subscribed and liked, I'll be checking out your other content for sure, thanks!

[@PhilippinePride7]

Another top-tier guide. You definitely deserve waaaaay more subscribers.

[@Volatar]

Criminally underwatched OSRS youtuber right here. Love your guides.

[@calebholbrook9645]

Best quality video I've been able to find for DKs. Good stuff!

[@Joey-wg1rt]

This guide is well explained, very clear and easy to understand. Very nice!!!

[@GatesofPride]

Very concise and “Supreme”ly helpful for a scared little iron here. Thank you for making this. Puts a lot of anxiety of trying to kill these boys away.

[@ianthompson3275]

Huge help, the core reason why I was able to finish Medium Combat Achievements.

[@oxotoxin]

Great guide, I got the seers ring on 5 KC, absolutely lovely

[@Cwooodsy]

this is then first guide that confidently gave a plan for supreme

[@sethbehrends3745]

Man I love your guides. Crisp editing and love the formula you've got.

[@roseyosrs]

Much appreciated!

[@CheesyGaming191]

love the guide, got a warriors and zerker ring from 1st 20kc ever. thanks babes

[@Mattytdawgmang]

Great videos brother, really looking forward to what you create next!

[@runescape2551]

As an ironman, I love these videos. Keep up the great work!

[@TheTier1optics]

I keep coming back to this video just to watch, so well made man keep up the good work

[@roseyosrs]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@corrodeyam9405]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much

[@danceisfreeing43]

This is really great info! Also, love the editing style you chose this time around

[@roseyosrs]

Glad you liked it!

[@Liftedtrucks909]

Bro Im so glad you uploaded! I was so in the mood for your videos. Keep it up bro!

[@Ravxenous]

Wonderful editing, information, and flow. All your videos have been absolutely top tier. If you could export your tiles in the kings room and throw it at the bottom of the description I think that would be helpful so they can import them automatically

[@roseyosrs]

Thanks so much, and I actually didn't know you could export tile information from runelite.

[@PawgPudding]

What a fantastic and informative video. Awesome job mate really helped me down there

[@bsmitty8223]

great guide! I'd like to add that you can also tele to lunar island and speak to someone to get a quick trip to the docks.

[@TheBlueMoments]

This video is outstanding, thank you so much for making it! Instant Sub.

Superb video. Best one, not even close

[@KineticDepth]

First time clicking on one of your videos. No clue who you are yet. Im literally only 30 seconds into this video, but that intro was FUCKING FIIIIIIRE

[@SamDevStuff]

This is a fantastic video! Packed full of information, nicely and clearly laid out and even feels somewhat nostalgic. Liked and subscribed, I look forward to more like this!

[@roseyosrs]

I'm glad you liked it, many more videos to come in the future :)

[@SamDevStuff]

@@roseyosrs looking forward to it! I particularly liked that you included some rarely talked about / uncommon methods which Ironmen would find invaluable. Prime solo method for instance, will defo be doing this!

[@roseyosrs]

Haha yeah, when I was going for my rings I had to find some unusual methods for getting them but that's always the fun of ironman.

[@joshuafranke5238]

This was a great guide! I really liked the breakdown and iron tailored aspect. If I may add one thing, for the ranged gear progression Shayzien boots 5 are better than snakeskin and are very easy to get for any account capable of DKs.

[@roseyosrs]

That's a great tip, they completely slipped my mind.

[@bongwateR_tv]

tyty, legit first rex kill on my ironman got a zerk ring! legend m8 ty gunna try the other dags later

[@nc7807]

Amazing production quality for a guide. I'm trying to finish up the medium combat achievements with pretty bad gear and the section on Supreme should help me get that done! Edit: Got my 10 Supreme KC and it was (almost) painless. For anybody looking to do this, try during peak times. During off-hours it's kind of hard to find people doing Rex.

[@Braindead154]

Got my warrior ring at 70kc, berserker ring at 200kc, and my seers ring at 1kc thanks to your guide on my IM!

[@ctf283]

bro the production and editing on this vid is so fucking good lmao ty for helping my noob ass

[@FIGhealer]

More of these iron men friendly guides pls dude

[@Magmagan]

Great guide! Usually I see either tribrid guides or rex only guides, any my account is in that awkward phase of not DPSing enough for tribridding yet but way past the first berserker ring phase. Didn't know you could "safespot" prime! I just was going to finish my medium CAs but I guess I'm sticking around for that seercull drop haha

[@roseyosrs]

I know what you mean about being stuck in that awkward phase for Dag Kings, I'm glad I could help and good luck on the Seercull! :)

[@Arbylz]

Am I being punked? How are you only at 1k subscribers. If your other videos look like this, you are by far underrated. #subscribed

Sick intro, I got BLASTED, went in guns BLAZING and woke up in Lumbridge, 10/10 would do it again

[@johncool123]

awesome guide

[@samm5111]

Got my first Berserker on my iron in 18 kills thanks to this guide, you're the man. Edit: Holy shit I haven't even finished the video and got the Warrior on my 23rd Rexie kill, you are god tier luck.

[@Robert_Paprika]

Thank to your guide, I got my B Ring on my 15th kill

[@thomabow8949]

It's hard to articulate how great this guide is, and more so even because it doesn't start with the gear being full ancestral or torva!

[@roseyosrs]

Glad it helped!

[@gabesaylor4092]

I really like your guides, even though I've done 1000s of kc in Barrows and DKs I watched both and actually learned a couple things. You should do Zulrah and Vorkath next

[@roseyosrs]

Thanks, I'm glad they could help :) and I plan on doing those bosses in the future as well

[@fromcesarwithlove]

Love this vid

[@VladiatorX]

Quality video!

[@kaddish921]

i had a huge DKs phobia until this video, ty for making this

[@oscarmurphy8974]

Great guide! Does anyone know why the Dags might not be de-aggroing after 10 mins?

[@johnk1006]

god this shit is so good very good job

[@techknowIogic]

Dude, is your day job a graphic designer/editor or something? All of these guides are always so beautifully presented. Keep up the great work!

[@crispypotatoz9263]

the music reminds me of the good ol 07 vids :)

[@Nohoth]

Great guide! Would it be beneficial to kill prime and supreme together? Or is it to hard to not aggro rex?

[@realswane2697]

Does Slayer cave have a seperate aggro reset timer causing you to regain aggression?

[@DarkRainb0wKnight]

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but the aggression timer always resets when I go down the ladder and come back up.

[@jamesdean3521]

Not quite there yet but will come back

[@PersonOfTheInternet280]

If you want to practice DK prayer flicking then practice on the trash mobs while naked on your way to the lair.

[@davidg4512]

For some reason, the tile markers are not showing up after importing. Any tips?

[@caffo6667]

nice vid

[@BlackEyedFish]

bro u are good

[@rpartin17]

Just an FYI, you can pick up your pet rock after you open the door, no need to have a bunch in your bank.

[@roseyosrs]

I'll be honest, I just assumed picking the rock back up would disable the door again, thanks for pointing this out!

[@insomniagaming1384]

exactly what i was going to say.

[@TheMistaneff]

Waste of space in inventory tho

[@rubiez2012]

​@@TheMistaneff for real its just a rock and takes 2 secs to get

[@Courier_Seven]

I'd put my house in relekka and grab a new rock every time from the kid.

[@natiivska754]

excellent video , I hope to see more boss guide that are iron man friendly .

[@roseyosrs]

Thanks, I plan on making a lot more Ironman specific content in the future.

[@lastrngstanding1077]

To be fair you could also use a scroll of redirect (idk if that’s Ironman tho?

[@VegetableLover-1984]

amazing video, holy shit i love vegetables

[@MrHuDat]

my friend is in ironman can he do this setup?

[@huggy1202]

We need a petition Once you have completed this run once and made it to the Dk lair, you should be able to use a pulley at the entrance of the cave to bring you outside the room! This run kills me 😂 it’s so annoying

[@roseyosrs]

Yeah, the run there is pretty obnoxious lol

[@vallytine]

I'm a GIM, is it safe to assume that doing duos would make stat requirements a little more lenient?

[@Shmoopd]

If you could share your tiles you use in boss room that would be helpful, thanks.

[@roseyosrs]

I added the tile information into the description so you should be able to import them now

[@matthewhorn7367]

My npc aggression timer restarted when I hopped world's

[@reilagji4752]

man I just cannot get them to deaggro me I don't understand

[@adamcomerford8502]

My NPC aggression timers have been resetting despite entering the lair first... Does the slayer lair reset it by chance? Update: Yes, it does. Use the Standard cave if you're going to wait out the timer.

[@roseyosrs]

I'm sorry about that, definitely and oversight on my part. Thanks for pointing this out.

[@adamcomerford8502]

@@roseyosrs No worries man, great guide!

[@Friedwill]

Anyway you can add tile markers in the description so people can import them? Great video!

[@roseyosrs]

I had to figure how to do that lol, but they should be added in the description now

[@DarthTheron]

How do you import them?

[@Friedwill]

@@DarthTheron right click on the globe by mini-map and select import ground markers

[@dadbodthor3580]

you can pick your rock back up i have never used a different rock

[@josephradford9665]

I was down killing rex about a week ago. Some dude came down and killed supreme one time and got a d axe and he left immediately lol bout like what you just did. I wonder if that was me down there. I was like wtf cause I'm on the hunt for a d axe and can't get one. Although I did get a dragon spear on my 3rd kill

[@roseyosrs]

Haha, its definitely possible.

[@teafuse583]

I honestly just get mauled if i go down there with the method you use on Supreme.. the guy hits 40s on me lol

[@klenner]

Thanks for the video... On my way to kill em soon lol

[@austinkernels8224]

is it just me or you never gave a gear set up?

[@roseyosrs]

Rex - 6:37 Prime - 9:46 Supreme - 14:01 The gear progression charts show you what gear you should wear in every slot, you just pick the best item in each category you have access too. Hope that helps.

[@greenthunder1000]

For teleports, I highly recommend a lunar isle POH portal with dream mentor completed, then you can gear up, get kicked out, and run 3sec to the boat. Just like vorkath.

[@biekevin3953]

bro just got a dragon axe first kill from supreme lol

[@whiitehead]

To get to the rex safe spot, its fine to have aggro from supreme, just leave your protect missile up then x-log once you get to the rex safe spot. There's a vid on my channel showing how to do it.

[@callummurphy5440]

I Killed 347 Rex to get my B Ring. Instead of trying to go up and down the ladder a bunch, go down the ladder praying range (if Prime is hitting you then go back up) and run along the south wall to the safespot of Rex. Then make sure you are praying range and have decently full prayer and X out of your client. After your character has been logged out you are now able to log back in on top of the safespot of Rex without any need for waiting or going up and down the ladder a bunch. I did this every time I went to kill Rex.

[@originalPupa]

Someone should really make guide for first timers, i keep dying cuz they all attack me same time.

[@tijhuisjoeri]

I Just pick up my rock everytime. Lol

[@Whostoledargon]

Most of this video is needless fluff. Just get to the point. Show the gear, show the kills, show the necessary information. Stop wasting your viewers time

[@syed_ways759]

and thats why i keep quiting this game and nobody wants to get into it.... literally every boss requires those stats.... its literally sit there and grind out like 85-90 on all combat stats or you cant do anything that will give you better loot that is just preventing you from other bosses.... games holding itself back constantly and wondering why it's player base is that same people but less then it was 10 years ago

[@Rype676869]

It isn't that hard and doesn't take that long or that much attention. Stop wanting your games to be easy, that is boring!

[@syed_ways759]

@Rype676869 you're right doing the same dumbass task for hrs on end isn't boring that's just quality gaming. 👌

[@ChiefChinoWekwaGutu]

I hate people who come into kill supreme when im in there. So annoying. I do the method where you get prime to low hp, kill rex, finish off prime then kill supreme while the others respawn, praying ranged. So imagine doing that entire setup for some scrub to come in and kill supreme. Anyways decent guide 14:00

[@Ahsux]

Good guide, but i found it very long.. got really bored of the over information
