What an absolute masterpiece. The fact that you were able to put SO MUCH detailed information that applies for high lvl mains AND pures in the same video and not separating them is just incredible. Very well made overall really needed something like this to start my inferno grind on my pure soon. Keep making this type of stuff about other difficult and why not less difficult areas if you are interested in making them and your channel will see a rapid growth for sure. Ps. Thank you.

Hey man I just wanna say thank you for the guides - I just got my first inferno cape after a year of attempts on and off, and I have to say that I just always kept coming back to this first video and remembering you saying "You can do this." The inferno is such an insane challenge to your mental fortitude perseverance. I'll never forget how i felt when i beat it, and it's in-part thanks to you that i got there.

[@OSRS2ndBase]

Just nailed a spawn like 26:19. It’s so satisfying when you keep everything in the 2 tick cycle. You’re literally invincible haha. Anyone watching this thinking “I can’t do this” - you can. Keep at it. Learning these techniques is so worth it.

[@OSRS2ndBase]

IMPORTANT: At 24:37, if the range and mage are swapped for that spawn, they will only be off by 1 tick, NOT 2. It’s because the mager is a 4x4 and the ranger is a 3x3 sized monster.

[@brycegriffin9271]

Finally deciding to learn inferno after having watched this guide like 5 times along with countless others. In my second ever attempt, I made it to wave 57. These guides are invaluable in learning the inferno. Learning all the different methods for solving waves, 1t flicking, dealing with stacks, all these things I would have never learned if not for these guides. I remember the first time I watched this everything seemed so foreign. My first watch through I tried to figure out how you would solve these waves and I was way off every time lol. So many things I didn't think about, like what if the melee digs, what if the nibblers don't die, what if the mager respawns X, etc. But now that I have some experience, I feel like even some of these 'Hard' spawns are stuff I would recognize how to deal with pretty quickly. For example at 24:39, I probably would've just ran into the meleer and gotten into a melee blob flick, gunned down the melee, and then killed the mager. If the meleer respawned I would've just cut back, done some more melee blob flicking again if needed, killed the melee again, and finish off the mager. Obviously the melee blob flick isn't perfect and probably ill advised on a 1def account, but at 99 def and in good gear you're more than fine. This allows you to leave the blob for last as well on the south side of the pillar to phantom barrage it for a bunch of HP, plus being able to barrage the ranger if needed. If the nibblers didn't die in one hit I think this wave would cause me some trouble, but again once the melee is dead and I'm free to stand north I think I would be able to finish them off, but I might have to tank a ranged hit or two since I haven't learned 2t flicking yet. These are things I would've never even dreamed of thinking about not too long ago, so thank you for these guides, they are incredibly helpful.

[@ShimShomPK]

so funny... ur guide is the first inferno guide ive ever seen, then after checking other inferno guides , i just come back to this one, my record is wave 56 for now and wil not give up until i have this amazing cape! thank u for everything.

[@GorastMK]

Thanks for the guide! It surely helped me understand some things a bit better, ofc not every single little thing is menthoned here, in the end a person must learn The Inferno the hard way. But also it covered some of the most important things (otherwise the video-guide would've been like 2 hours long). In total took me around 48 attempts to do the Inferno, around 7-8 Zuk attempts (I did around 15 attempts with really bad gear and lower levels than normal, I didn't get too far with it, w/o those around 33 attempts). Surely the inferno is very difficult but not impossible!

[@mrcarlsjr12]

I encountered a situation on wave 65 that I thought is worth mentioning. 2 rangers in front of a mager at the pillar. You have to do the step out double back method, but know that you will tank one shot from the first ranger that sees you. Then, the other two will be off ticked, and you can snipe the mager or pipe the ranger. It's the only way to handle the situation that I could think of. Hope this helps someone else!

[@vels_]

Damn bro, finally got my cape... Massive thanks to your awesome guides!

[@CeaserMadrazo]

Just got my first cape. To anyone who is struggling, here's what I'll say... Take ALL advice with a grain of salt. People told me 8 brews was too many... I got my first cape using 10 brews, and it turned out to be exactly the right number to make it to the end. People told me not to use Justiciar or Bulwark, or else it's "Not a real cape." To those people, I say, go have sex with something... It'll mellow you out. People told me Eldritch staff was pointless if you have a Saradomin sword. I found Eldritch staff to be invaluable. Point is, find what works for you, ignore the stuff that doesn't. Also, don't give up. It took me 92 attempts, and 17 Zuk fights, but I got it. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts." -Winston Churchill

[@ezzy1036]

Some tips as a nub still learning this: If you're trying to learn this video without ever stepping foot in the inferno... just stop and go throw in some attempts. A lot of the concepts and explanations in the video won't make sense or stick out until you actually do it. Take it one step at a time - You will not complete the inferno on your first try. Make it a goal to get a wave further than last time, or make it further with more potions than last time. Take frequent breaks - Every 10 or 20 waves, click the logout button to pause the next wave then logout and take a break. If you find yourself getting flustered and overwhelmed (especially on the later waves) this will help clear your mind. Get the practice in - The inferno is entirely skill based and you won't complete it unless you put in the work!

[@masterofpk1]

I just got all the gear i need on my ironman to do inferno, ive started the grind but honestly i feel like id be better off getting to wave 4 and really mastering the blob before going for high kc. what you think

[@MrWaltonius]

2:10 I have seen plenty of people use the tile that's 2N 1E from where it's recommended in the video. For me it seems more mobs are safespotted by default that way. Any reason this starting tile I better?

[@tenzinlee6393]

I'm also curious about this. For most of the easy waves, I tend to prefer xzact's recommended starting square because it helps me keep pillars strong for the tough waves. On waves 60-64, I start on the square you mention. I think that you're right. It seems to safespot more monsters and it is 1 tick closer to the "1st choice" square (2:24).

[@OSRS2ndBase]

Tenzin Lee If the melee spawns in the northeast most spawn for those waves, you’d be absolutely doomed. That’s why he starts where he starts, so you can control when the melee would see you, and you can ensure it’s off-tick a ranger or mager that spawns northwest

[@madafixxxx]

Why it says "Not an issue if you have a Twisted Bow" at 14:31 to 14:50? Is there another method to deal with them if you have it?

[@OSRS2ndBase]

Walk to the bat safespot, pray MAGE, kill the bat, hide behind the pillar and let the mage move to the front, then focus the mage.

[@madafixxxx]

@@OSRS2ndBase Ahh I see, so I guess with melee in front is an exact same thing you safe spot it until it digs, but what about 14:39 with the blob in front? Can you not kill MAGE using blowpipe and 2 tick flick method? Or I'll always be dragger in blobs melee range?

[@OSRS2ndBase]

madafixxxx Sure that would work with the melee, unless you wanted to flick the melee/mage at the same time. Multiple ways to do it. So for a blob/mage stack, there’s a few things you can do - depends on how much prayer you want to save. First option is to stand in the middle tile on the west side of the north pillar and blowpipe the mage right past the blob. 2tick flick is good here or 1tick (I always try to use 2tick). If you want to save prayer, I believe you can freeze the blob, praying mage when you’re dragged out, then run behind the north pillar and pray range (for the blobs attack). If you freeze the blob, you can then run all the way north behind the pillar, and poke out one square to the East. Could be wrong.. but this SHOULD drag the mage to now be side-by-side with the blob so you can deal with it separately and waste no prayer.

[@madafixxxx]

@@OSRS2ndBase Thanks Ryan, I appreciate your tips, will be putting these methods into practice and I'll see which one will come out as my personal favorite :)

[@Fatallskillz1]

Just a tip to all new players coming here to learn inferno. Watch 25x inferno with acb/tbow. Do some attempts at inferno. Then come back to watch this. This is sort of more advanced and will not really get you prepared for inferno, but it has a lot of neat tricks on how to solve waves as you get to know how to do things. 25x vids were really great for me because you can see wave by wave and he takes time to explain everything while if youre gonna get anything out of this you gotta have atleast a few attempts at inferno. Never the less, I came back here after a few tries. Current PB is 52 and i just forgot how to deal with mage/range stack.Hopefully cape before new years. Also less known fact, if you can get past wave 31 you can probably beat the whole thing. 31 is one of the hardest waves. Range melee and 2 blobs. When you get passed that theres not really anything stopping you from getting passed all the others.

[@OSRS2ndBase]

Waves 60-64 are the hardest. For waves up to 60, if you know what you’re doing, you can handle any spawn using the north pillar and take only 1-2 hits off prayer. 60-64, if the spawn is bad, you’re going to take a lot of potential damage

[@jessehadley3155]

If you want to save prayer when you have blob, mager then ranger stack, you can do what xzact says, them barrage the blob then go back behind pillar. With blob stuck u can then bring mager next to blob, then bring ranger back over behind blob so u can kill mage separately with a lazy flick

[@tydavis2877]

Help me...why isnt my autocast blood barrage as fast as yours??? i cant get the additional heal off that northern tile safespot when a monster dies

[@Hugs_4_Bugs_]

Not to mention if you lag even a little bit it's impossible to do the inferno. Every single tick counts. I like a challenge but the inferno is kind of ridiculous. They could at least make the blob minions a little less accurate. I can't kill a blob without taking SOME damage... which is absolute horse shit. The mini blob ranger hits me even through +412 ranged defense and it's fucking stupid. The bats are way too fucking accurate too. Like goddamn Jagex.
