I'll say the only think hard about getting the tempest gear is the fact nobody will let you wear it.. That's what it's for! It's free to use there! f in the chat.

[@KrC_Games]

well i killed telos 200+enrange 400+ Araxxi enrage many times, but kalphite king, fck that and Legions 100% at need some practice ^^ 500%Arch is easy should be at experienced , Raksha is almost impossible to me and i can kill HM Kerapac in like 6-7minutes, but was really hard for me to learn Kerapac HM oh my.. was my hardest boss yet ;D

[@KrC_Games]

but yea, list is very good!

[@newjones1754]

I like it when we see your face. Every video should be like that.

[@hokiow]

Something I'd suggest for next time, why not show the bosses in the background? That way new players and players that haven't done the bosses can actually see them.

[@phylliswinch9042]

And maybe run through it for the new ppl

[@josephalger8879]

That’s a good idea

[@kdownes1313]

You guys have to keep in mind that would mean Init would have to record and cut him running all 50+ bosses. You’re asking a lot of time for that. And then also including walk throughs for each boss?

[@hokiow]

@kodydownes8661 not necessarily. And I didn't ask for guides, just video representation. He's killed plenty of bosses on and off stream, as well as video guides already made. Surely, it wouldn't be that hard clipping and cutting videos you've already made and pasting it into a new video file.

[@kdownes1313]

@@hokiow I was responding to the ones replying to you when I referenced guides. You also have to understand there are bosses he doesn’t do or can’t do. If you need a guide to specific boss, there are tons of people that have done them and would provide a better input on them.

Ok thanks for the clarity, just checking up on this Only just got 500% enrage Glacor kill so now i can maybe compare to those others (the rest of Glacor hm before 500% was ez so long as you didn't get beamed up by bad positioning)

[@pergaman6334]

Cheers mate was looking for this !

[@kpay10]

What about normal mode zuk?

[@1h4t3pur3s]

the hardest part about barrows is the puzzles in the basement

[@teowachowski1143]

literally

[@kdownes1313]

A couple pointers I have that would help the video seem a bit easier to digest is: 1st - clearly identifying what each “tier” requirements would be along with some potential gear setups. So you mentioned experienced needed Soul Split. So stuff like that to be clearly identified. It might help when ranking the bosses too! 2nd - preorder the bosses before the video so you aren’t tilting as much on where someone could go. Then reveal the list 1 tier at a time. So start with the “not a boss”, then move to “beginner”, etc. I think that would be a bit cleaner and clearer to digest. As always though Init, we really appreciate your feedback and advice! Keep doing what you’re doing! 🙂

[@kdownes1313]

I also didn’t notice Corporeal Beast again either!

[@JoFo-cl6ro]

Init doesn’t really prep for his videos the way Protoxx does, he kinda just records his voice and calls it a day. Does the same thing anytime he goes over an announcement from Jagex. It’s hella annoying but it’s far less work. Maybe he has irl stuff going on and doesn’t wanna pay an editor.

[@MeanBeanComedy]

The 2nd one is just how tier list videos tend to go. Showing the KZbinr "choosing" where it goes and all is part of the process.

[@mikec5400]

You should rank them with the perspective of someone learning it and getting a first kill. I think Rax would be a bit harder to get than BSD

[@TheEsparoba3]

ikr, like some bosses he tiers with beginners in mind, while others are obviously tiered with experienced players in mind, like no way a person who's never done pvm before is going to do jad without having to practice prayer flicking first even though he's one of the easiest bosses in the game for experienced players.

[@vincentvandeperre1670]

player flicking is at the very entry levels of pvm. its 2 buttons :/

[@InfiniteMeerkat71]

500% AG over HM Kerapac? Absolutely not

[@Soren_Pedersen]

Honestly, Giant Mole is harder than Chaos Elemental, and Croesus should be close to Experienced.

[@FelipeCastanon]

I recently got my first Magister kill and I think it's easier than Vindicta. It's pretty afkable with high level necromancy gear

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

I hope so because I struggled the first few times. Didn't handle the corruption properly. This is before necro though so I will have to try it again.

[@24zawisza]

Kril should be HIGHIER. For a begginer player the fact that he hits through prayer can be a very scary thing. You get a fake sense of security and then WHAM! a 6k hit comes out of nowhere

[@ChronoSquare]

In defense of Araxxor being called beginner... it's designed from a time before invention so some of those end game invention perks CAN EASILY BACKFIRE the web special reflecting your crackling etc ruining the self heal potential of resonate (iirc)(I don't pvm terrible much so I don't remember all names lmao)

[@aimwell7089]

Yeaaah I think you did it this time:) Its hard to come close to satisfying most peoples take and I do think you nailed it within the range this time. Helpful!

[@Gutigwolfe]

Vorkath Normal I would put at needs practice, or experienced. He raises in the air, you move away, freedom, pretty simple. Only mechanic I deactivate is minions, but that was because I hate dealing with adds in boss fights, but might try them next time. I only have like 3 kills, and haven't died to him. Only part that sucks is the golems before the actual fight, and not because they're hard, but because they have too much HP, even with the nerf. The boss fight itself is good, but outside of storymode, the fight should work like Arch glacor, where you can just toggle which places of power are active, and just adjust drop rates accordingly. Vorkath can still be a good boss IMO, but needs more adjustments.

[@beonyuh]

for these types of vids you are helping all of the newer players out to see what for them to do great job man keep it up!!!!!

[@IScreamedWolf]

I’ll definitely say Zammy 0 enrage is easier than Amby and Raksha lol

[@johnm7788]

I would put Kalphite king in experienced for sure. As a new player slowly climbing the boss ladder for Reaper crew i found him to be far more difficult then anything else listed in "some practice needed". I was soloing him though. From my little experience Pvming i would honestly put him above Arraxor and Nex.

[@CarbonBallBag1]

There you go.. just made yourself some new content! 1 Kill on each boss, starting from the bottom all the way to the top

[@MrBusrunner]

As someone that can solo solak but can't even get to raksha's final phase I feel attacked

[@bluepriest6990]

Chaos ele keeps teleporting me into ripper demons lol.

[@corrupt1921]

i've done a lot of croesus, although its not traditional pvm i'd place it in some practice needed, like normal pvm to run it well require some upgrades and preferably BIS stuff especially in some roles at the boss, and learning the mechanics over time to smooth out kills, granted once you know what ur doing braindead boss, but you can tell a big diffrence between newbie and experienced Croesus players

[@InitYeah]

I would be below newbie on the boss tbh lol. Thanks for the info though : )

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

The hardest part of Croesus is dealing with pissy experienced players who grief on anyone who isn't perfect lol

[@bgf007bgf1]

I kinda wish they made it soloable, just to avoid this@@SuperLordHawHaw

[@tummke92]

Awesome! Time to have a look at which boss to try next :)

[@Limossol3922]

I’d say generally this is a good list! A few bits I would PERSONALLY change but that’s just it, everyone will be different haha. I like videos like this because it makes me feel like I’m good at bossing 🤣

[@RHAPTIK]

osrs player here, I really wish osrs had some of the cool lore and open map event content like rs3 has

[@martydom666]

Where's bork from the chaos tunnels lmao

[@I_Dps]

shouldve had a enrage categories for arch glacor like you did with telos and zammy, wouldve been nice to see where you rank 2500%+ag

[@InitYeah]

I think I went over that during placing the glacor :) About where I would place the higher enrages etc.

[@I_Dps]

lmao my bad i skipped to the end XD@@InitYeah

[@ChronoSquare]

Now that we've got the release of EoC 2.0 Combat Triangle Boogaloo post-Necromancy... will this list need to be re-updated??? After having learned Zuk for the first time, only doing NM with Necro like an andy, seeing Zuk up there in Very Hard is like... ->

[@UKProud]

Love your videos :)

[@InitYeah]

Glad you like them!

[@v1kng99]

I would add that necromancy changes all my opinions on these bosses I do better t80 tank gear than I did with t90 ranged lol. Thanks for the videos

[@Chillifish57]

Giant mole is the hardest boss

[@jackknowles5295]

Should split a boss when it's solo or group makes a proper difference. You did it with Nex but then barely mentioned it with KK! KK is easily harder than most of what's in experienced (like Nex) if you're soloing, at least in my experience of it. Duo definitely looks like a cakewalk in comparison because he gets off half the specs and you only really have to focus on the melee green, especially if you're voking. The randomness hurts twice as much in solo too as having multiple green auras starts to really suck when you're the only dps.

[@guitarisdeathofme]

I’d switch maybe 6 of em around but mainly just where in the line they are and not changing the difficulty, agree with most of it though

[@benlunaris]

Crosues can be rough, not in a dying way but if still has a bit of learning curve at first to do it without a group KQ you can safespot on any style so I'd actually put it lower Zilyana is only dangerous if you use blood spells Nex I'd put in experienced since the blood and ice phase are the only real threat Greg is easier with protect range and *NOT* meleeing since you need halberd range to avoid his super melee attack I'd say Raksha's harder than HM Kerapac Wildy wyrm is basically just a huge healthbar HM versions of the other bosses would be interesting on the list too, HMs can easily be totally different fights. Linza(for the 3 people that still fight her) would be up with Magister or legions I think since her reflect mechanics are annoying and Akrisae needs atleast 2 combat styles. Elegy Nomad is worth mentioning too since his fight is a heavy DPS race and he's technically a boss No Corp beast or abomination? I mean they're easy but still worth mentioning

[@InitYeah]

Ngl, forgot about abomination and corp lol

[@benlunaris]

@@InitYeah It'd probably be interesting to redo this after the beta finishes and then see if the list for magic vs necro would be very different

[@zerolosi]

I really think you view Raksha as being a lot harder than it is. I 100% believe 0% telos is harder than Raksha. I'd also argue that HM Kera should be above HM Arch Glacor due to p4.

[@Batsdezee]

Im strugeling on dpsing seiyru black crystsals now with magic, will try again tomorrow.

[@casper7349]

i think glacor 500% shoud be a lot lower on the list, its just reacting too the same stuff he does in normale mode but with deathcosts. im a nooby pvmer so i might be wrong ofc, but i found it way harder to do nex or rasial then glacor 500%.

[@InitYeah]

Yeee that's the issue with lists like this. It has to be personal experience because everyone finds different bosses easier / more difficult. I doubt we would ever get people to fully agree on all of the placements. I know some people who could do aod with their eyes closed, but can't do raksha for example.

[@Nordkrafts]

Haven't watched your content for a while. You handsome man you. Keep it up - the only thing I would argue is - solak is insane, since it feels more and more like a solo boss nowadays. Especially after the combat changes. edit: few hours later. I have to come back here and argue some more - normal mode kerapac should be at the first spot of hard bracket. It has a couple of requirements - for the ring passive you need a fair few quests alone. And imagine having to dodge the lightnings without decent dps.

[@InitYeah]

True as a solo he is definitely much more difficult :)

[@JakeMartin2014]

Can you do a video on bosses that are easy to kill on moblie. I dont have a pc but play on moblie wondering what bosses are possible to kill on mobile

[@InitYeah]

Sure why not :) will work on it in the next week or 2!

[@ChantyOlc]

everything looks ranked great except i think zuk is easier than rasial personally

[@yt.personal.identification]

Comparing solo Nex but duo KK seemed off. I rate them about equal as a solo. ... and yes, Chaos Ele is a boss - Reaper task

[@InitYeah]

Nex is soloed all the time and is super common. KK isn't really seen as a solo boss I wouldn't think. People can, and do solo KK. But it isn't in really in any way a regular thing. That is why I compared them that way :) But yeah, these are all bosses. ''Not a boss'' was basically saying, there is no effort and no risk in killing it at all. It doesn't feel like a boss.

[@yt.personal.identification]

​@@InitYeahI solo more than anything in groups - so maybe it's a me thing. I just remember going for defenders and variants. They both had a similar learning curve.

[@InitYeah]

@yt.personal.identification yeah you are likely just ahead of the average player in terms of pvm skills :)

[@yt.personal.identification]

​@@InitYeah Oh no, not at all. I wish I was probably terrible at Nex.

[@curthenning6833]

As someone who just did 100 solo ed1 for IFB masuta is way harder than seiryu. He just combo you to death like 3 different ways. Seiryu yea sure you take longer on the kill but just don't stand in the hands and I revo it and still get a 2 cycle.

[@NautilusMusic]

i dont agree for nm zuk. id put him in experienced or low hard. hes super simple. i can beat zuk all day any day but ive never managed an araxxi kill

[@guitargod3545]

no way in hell blackstone is harder than araxi im sorry

[@duncanbilliot8823]

Think only thing id change is croecus to beginner for some exp needed cause 4man is a thing and if you mess up even in pubs and can ruin it for others

[@vincentvandeperre1670]

is this list still correct ? because im a bad pvmer but i find 100% zamorak way easier then most in the hard section other then nex.

[@loyallexi163]

I think its lowkey insane to put nex harder than rax. I'd put Rax next to Vorkath.

[@jeandeasd]

i would put raksha above normal mode zuk and below hard mode zuk, havent been able to beat the purple dinosaur :')

[@seth_mo]

Good to see ambassador got rank up this time , slayer lvl requirement is the ONLY hard part😂🤣

[@nathanjs4207]

Where do the Sanctum of Rebirth bosses rank? Nakatra surely at the top

[@stevenponcho293]

Telos and Rasial are so different! I have some trouble with 0% Telos and I have a lot of trouble with Rasial. I guess I handle mechanics better than dps fights.

[@mitchwilson3525]

what enrage telos tho

[@Kj234rs]

I always love watching tier 🎉

[@zepaduse97]

I feel like Raisal is harder than 500% glacor. Or at least compareable but thats my personal experience

[@Pinozism]

I think you forgot Corp. Beast, where would you rank him?!

[@ghostchapo8246]

Where is vorky

[@InitYeah]

I placed vorkath at about 28:50 ish :)

[@shadow-spawn-s4l]

I'd put croe in beginner. Timing mechs os easy enough to learn and very few abilities needed

[@Daetlus]

It's too bad that the images don't have names on them. Makes it hard for noobs like myself that don't have what they all look like memorized

[@istillhatesheeps4547]

This comment is algorithm food

[@sitdowndusty]

Most of these i agree with but nex with necro gear is stupid easy to solo once you know what the mechanics are. I think it should be experienced

[@ewoly]

I'd move Raksha and Vorkath HM up. Arch Glacor down.

[@MrPowerpen]

Sucks the mats are outdated I would want one with necro on it

[@bosstweed83]

100% zammy is trivial, really up to like 500% is easier than solo solak

[@MoonShroomMan]

normal mode zuk is not more difficult than amby. and taraket is actually a dps punching bag why is he so high? lol

[@damzeni1]

Bro you look like Post Malone cool video all a matter of opinion. Personally, giant mole very hard.

[@VBDundee-uj9nk]

I’d say kalphite king falls under experienced, there’s Voking for the green, making sure your reso doesn’t get sniped by minions or if you devotion making sure your praying melee or switching if not. Ceasing attack on the boss when he heals with the flashing green mechanic. He’s definately above the dag kings. And tanking beastmaster harder than raksha, come on give us a spell have a word 🤣

[@Remain21]

Idk man, Legios in the same tier as Araxxi and Rots just seems wrong.

[@anthonylalonde4045]

Amby is definitely easier than Raksha

[@VideoOfMike]

Been watching you for while, you look much younger than your voice dictates! Not trying to be mean or anything, it was just this was kind of shocking haha.

[@RockBandRS]

This would be an interesting video to do once every few years or so, to see how boss difficulty changes with power creep. Look at something like rots; back when it came out, a team of 4 getting consistent sub 2 minute kills was considered super impressive. Now you can solo and get sub 1 minute kills.

[@00Dusty]

Rasial is semi afk 😂 you only need to have any input in p4

[@sitdowndusty]

I can do every boss before hard.

[@jaydturney271]

Bro i swear you were Post Malone lolol

[@JoFo-cl6ro]

I respectfully disagree with the placement of Zamorak 100+. Zam doesn’t really require good gameplay, just a good game plan. With necro and T-90 gear, you can skip every mech up to 200% enrage and with bis gear you can skip every mech up to 500% if you take your time. P7 can be tricky if you’re trying to use lotd but if you just go with a rod then it’s pretty simple. I’m a mobile-only player so if I can do it, anyone can.

[@theoreomonster3854]

Insane = Lucario

[@scottwilson3458]

6 bosses in and I gotta leave the video how tf you gonna put Astellern the same tier as Rax 😂😂

[@InitYeah]

They all opinions and based on my own experience of course lol. I find that boss easy, and I kill myself at rax 24/7 haha. No one will ever fully agree on these videos, it is interesting to see how people struggle with certain bosses compared to others. Plenty of people farm AOD all day long but can't kill rax / solo nex etc.

[@scottwilson3458]

@@InitYeah yeah imo astellern is not difficult at all, I’d have put it in the “some practice needed” just because you need to know the mechanics

[@MHGFTW]

I think the combat/bossing in RS3 in general isn't very fun. I can list a few of the issues I have with it. Feel free to respond if you think I'm wrong about anything, but it is generally just my oppinion. - The combat feels unresponsive. Everytime I did a boss where the floor becomes lava, like QBD or Helwyr, it took ages for my character to run out of it. I take a bunch of damage while I clicked ages ago. I end up spam clicking because I feel like the click isn't registering. This isn't just during these mechanics, but the game always feels like this. (Yes, I have auto retaliate off.) - Weapon switching. It's just not a fun mechanic. Having to switch to a spear so I can lunge. Having to switch to a shield so I can heal. I just don't find this fun. - The skill system is too complex. I've had my clan help me set up a semi revolution combat bar. A bunch of skills I was told to just never use. Some skills I have to input manually, once I have a certain amount of sould or necrotic stacks. Then there's ults I can use once my adren is full. Not too much, but why does it need to be so complicated. It reminds me a bit of wildrift I played on my phone for a while. There you have 3 skills, and you have to aim them yourself. I prefer that over having a whole bunch of unresponsive skills I have to string into a good DPS rotation. There's stuff I like about the game too, like the perk system, drop system and stat tracking on how often an fast you've beaten bosses so for, and how much of the drop log you have. There's a lot of positive stuff too, but that's a different story...

[@animefan7424]

For unresponsive we’re you using channeled abilities, since you won’t be able to move during them unless you have an item that lets you, you cease it or it finishes, also Helwyr mushrooms force you to walk

[@MHGFTW]

@@animefan7424 Nah, I remember standing in one for like 10 seconds as I was spam clicking on a safe spot. my guy literally just stood there taking damage for 5 seconds, then started to slowly move, still hesitating allong the way. I had to spam eat the whole time, which is also super unresponsive. I have to click a single food item like 10x before it's finally eaten.

[@dcman4902]

Boss I have the hardest time is zuk because it’s a solo boss, most the others I can least get carried to get a kill, but zuk idk I just die all the time, even when I use the safe spot

[@saultraver]

you are fucking HIGH for putting HM glacor on very hard and vorkath below LOL

“I die to x boss all the time” should definitely not be part of the consideration whether its hard

Considering it is a personal ranking, and not me making a list to say everyone must follow this. I think the fact that I die at a boss would reflect if I find it more difficult or not?

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

It is an opinion piece, eh? For someone who farms Zamorak he'll feel easy. I'd say it should be based on the number of phases and the complexity of them. i.e. how much prayer flicking? Running around like mad? DPS check? Instakill risk? Specialized gear? Etc It'll end up being reflected in the DPS hurdle and the learning curve.
