I love this concept, A legit roadmap for people to get into bossing! you really should consider doing more guides like these

[@Vaark]

I love this. It would've been so helpful a year ago. I had a lot of trouble guiding myself through the bosses.

PVM for me in RS is literally like real life for me, i get so anxious for trying something new, always been a skiller and never bothered with pvm’ing, but thanks to your video, i’m slowly easing up to it. Thank you!! ❤️💪

I struggle with the same risk aversion. That's why story mode exists in most encounters, but you can also do what I have started doing and try to find people to help walk you through fights since basically all but Telos allow multiple people in an encounter.

[@lencindomuj5807]

I would advise Kril(Zammy)/General Graador(Bandos) main focus on DPS rotation, getting used to switching to Ring of vigour -> Twin furies (getting used to moving and still dealing DMG, at the end of their charge attack either using Resonance or surging/bladed diving away) -> Vindicta (main focus on using Resonance for ranged attack + counting her autoattacks) -> Helwyr (using Resonance + Devotion = try not using food) -> Arraxor (all the reasons mentioned in your video) -> Raksa (if you have someone to tank for you, than maybe learn to solo) -> Telos

[@ThornyPickled]

As someone who used to be frightened at the mere passing thought of a gwd1 boss. I recently learned defensive abilities throwing myself into hm arch glacor, which then I went down to helwyr and absolutely smoked the shiznit out of with no food. Never thought I would be able to do anything this high tier but literally afking arch glacor these days.

I never adapted to switches or full manual. I mostly watch these videos fully because I like to support RS3 CC. And your voice is kind of nice.

[@SaltSpirits]

If you need a step between Helwyr and Arraxor, consider Vindicta. The mechanics there will help you get used to reacting to attacks with movement. which in turn should end up making the transition easier

[@Kayaking_Adventures]

Very useful vid thanks! I'm mid 80's for combat so just starting out with pvm. Will defo be giving Bandos a go!

[@monk2235]

I’m a 17 years of Scaping player who just finally hit 138. N now I’m finally comfortable enough to start bossing. Total over Kill on my lvl n gear but I was just so nervous to die in this game I never could get my myself to do it. Full Sirenic(augmented) duel Ascensions, souls amulet, flarefrost boots, cinderbanes n curses. So yeah I think I’m pretty well equipped to finally start. Lol

[@theepicpeguin]

I started my bossing like this: Barrows, king black dragon, bandos, queen black dragon, kalphite queen, arch glacor normal mode, and right now I'm trying to perfect vindicta. I enjoy vindy because her attacks are slow and forgiving, and still gives good gp on a rare drop. I used to use about 14 sharks per kill, but I've improved my prayer switches and gear perks that I only need 2-3 sharks per kill. I hope my progress with vindicta can be replicated with the more difficult bosses.

[@hey6846]

Thanks for encouraging people to challenge themselves

[@enoola3038]

Good video man but I personaly think I learned much more from vindicta than from helwyr... Reason being that you also get familiar eith some prayer flicking alongside with defensives, plus you get a minimal awearnes of where you are standing and such. Getting at least familiar eith prayer flucking is extremley helpful for arraxor, so I think vindy is the best gwd2 boss in terms of incresing your pvm skills. But great video nontheless 😜

[@hazking9590]

i have nominated this video for video of the year

[@jordanbauerly8843]

One thing I would add is that vindicta is basically a 200k hp target dummy for rotation practice in getting 200k dpm.

Thank you for this. What would have been very helpful was to mention the stats, quests, and combat gear one should have before starting each of these bosses in your progression.

[@TetraHighdro]

brother - i find this to be a very missed out road map. what about nex, what about KK? im currently mastering those before even attempting telos

[@jkman9828]

The reason i despise bossing, or even trying bossing on higher levels is the Tick system that is still in place, making you unable to respond to something as it happens, as it will be too late. You need to respond well before something happens based on little nuances and movements, which sucks ass. The hardest thing i've done is fight kiln and high lvl slayer

[@nathandaniel5451]

Instead of Bandos I've started on a training dummy... "There is now a level 0" -Master Shifu Then after getting my rotation down a little move on to Vindicta. His slow attacks, special attacks and mechanics make him quite easy but really instructional. My talentless ass missed every single resonance on his thicc range attack. But I've somehow have gotten a lot better already.

[@KVrael15]

Ah, crap... ive been dreading Telos. im about 300kc at rax, im not too fast but i get consistent kills pretty easily. Ive just been stalling, doing gw2 and ed2 with lower level friends.

[@about84cats86]

Don't forget Jad (Fight Caves) to practice prayers, and whatnot. Like a practice run before the end game bosses?

[@Turelle]

I think the amount of time it takes for you to get to Jad makes it not worth it. Imo missing a prayer flick there is actually more punishing than P4 Rax as it'll pretty much one shot you. I think P4 Rax is probably still the better place to learn prayer flicking as it's pretty consistent (if you're not in melee, she'll use whatever you're not praying against, can get a really nice rhythm going that makes it pretty laid back). That said, if you really want to learn prayer flicking, go to Raksha practice mode with cheap food. I think the hardest part of that fight is not missing a prayer switch and not the special attacks. Good place to learn SS flicking too.

[@robithaler184]

i have long given up on learning full manual combat and high tier pvm.

Nice guide, but from Araxxor straight to Telos? I'm pretty confident I can kill Araxxor until 100% enrage without dying, but the thought of even attempting Telos terrifies me

[@NuzzNuzz]

I would argue that 0% telos is easier than Arraxi. Telos is a boss that really gets as difficult as you want it to be. I can do 0% telos with no food soulsplitting the entire time with revolution and missing every special attack. Its very very low hitting and even if you miss every special attack he does you'll probably get hit around 2k damage at most. There's only a few places that you can actually die (instakill on phase 4) but if you stand in the correct spot you won't die. It's much easier to start telos than people think if you practice and use a good guide. Don't let it scare you!

basically what you'll do is build adrenaline with powerful basics (e.g. any bleeds, cleave, dragon breath, etc) then dump it in thresholds which are usually stronger (and even then some are more powerful than others, like assault and rapid fire) and you keep cycling that. Eventually with experience to an handle boosting ults like sunshine, DS and zerk. If you're still in trouble to understand which ability to use and when. Check out revolution action bars on yt.

[@Grof142007]

Nice Guide

[@masengutormson2078]

I love your videos and guides but I feel as though this specific video was a disservice to those who want to start pvm and tried or will try to follow your tips. The biggest thing I do in RuneScape is teach all levels of pvm and I think almost all of this advice, besides challenge yourself and try to learn to be better, is bad advice. You seem to be only talking about Max or close to Max players who want to start but not necessarily any level below that who wants to start bossing. Even if the entire video was for Max players with Max gear I think a lot of the advice was pretty bad in use. I understand bandos as a starting point as it is a dps dummy that you won’t lose money on but anyone who has ss and sunshine that can do it with the ease you described should skip bandos and probably try vindicta or something else entirely. Anyone with lower stats trying to learn more will still probably be able to do bandos but will not have everything you described to use in order to improve. Other than that I think the worst advice in the video is step two. Going to helwyr is not as described. It is not a “just sprinkle in some seasoning” type of boss if the player just came from bandos. It is a big jump and I don’t understand why most guides even rank The boss so high. This is a boss that will force you to reso and maybe freedom but other than that it’s a nightmare for learners to bossing. The jump to rax next is possibly even more bad than to helwyr. No matter what level you are, you should not be learning to prayer flick on the last phase of rax. Rax is a crazy goal for anyone who just came from understanding helwyr. I think you know this when you mentioned how people will be discouraged but they should stick to it and learn more. That is decent advice if death costs, supply costs, time wasted, and a more negative attitude towards pvm didn’t build up so fast. I would love to see more pvmers in the game and that’s what I spend my time doing even, but this is not the way to go about it. Overall there was good general advice about getting better but not in almost any way you mentioned. The idea to encourage new pvmers is great, but most would give it up completely if they followed this guide/suggestions.

[@NuzzNuzz]

I understand what you're saying respect how you view it, but in my opinion the most important things to learning PVM at any level, whether you have t80s and subjugation, to nox staff and tectonic is, 1: DPS output and ability rotations, 2: Learning how to use defensives properly, 3: Learning how to move properly at bosses, and 4: Throwing yourself in the deep end and trying. I tried to fuse all those together for this video, ofcourse you can try different bosses here or there and replace helwyr with vindicta etc, but if you're looking for a boss as an inbetween stepping stone between bandos and say godwars 2 I'm not sure if theres much of an inbetween. I did show the road-map of bosses of course but my biggest point I tried to hit home are the 4 key points above.

[@masengutormson2078]

I do think those are all important things, I just think in the way presented people will be burnt out quick whether that’s gp or motivation. I know you clearly know what you are doing and enjoy pvm but to anyone who is hesitant to try and learn, this will be discouraging. Again that’s just what I see and I’m glad you are trying to encourage players to try new things. I learn a lot from your videos in general so I don’t mean to show any disrespect. Thank you for explaining your thought process even if we don’t agree on it all.

[@NuzzNuzz]

I do agree with you that vindicta would be a good place to learn prayer flicking as well, I guess I haven't really done vindicta in awhile so I totally forgot about the pray flicking aspect. So that could be another place to go before arraxor.
