[@kgaster25]

Several times placing The Measure wouldn't trigger chat from Charos, especially in the last location. Even when placing it on the same exact tile as in the video. logging out and back in made it work immediately though!! Thanks for the new vids Sik, we love you

[@SikovitRS]

Glad that worked out and you’re welcome!

i just wanted to say im so glad the best runescape quest guider is doing videos again :) i watched your guides for years

[@SikovitRS]

Appreciate you for still watching :)

[@Rj_D956]

bro i love your guides so much, literally like 80% of my quest points i owe to you

[@SirRamster59]

Great guide! Tip for everyone before starting, bring your best mattock.

[@SikovitRS]

Thank you!

[@obclutch2747]

my dumbass brought a bronze one

[@mitchellcullinan5696]

you just saved my bacon man. I was starting to lose it because I thought the quest was broken. The guide I had been using didn't say that I had to change all THREE numbers just to change is until I got the "I think that's right" message. I sent 1.5 hours running back and forth trying to figure out why I couldn't progress. Thanks for the guide man you got my follow for sure!

[@SikovitRS]

Glad it helped! But yeah it’s a bit confusing the way they did it, I didn’t even realize it was 3 numbers at first and that you could change them individually lol

[@Ethan-dm2of]

Bro you posted this right as I went to start the quest! God Bless, and happy Easter!

[@SikovitRS]

Haha nice! Happy Easter!

You are the MAN! Best guides ever. For years! Keep them coming!

So glad I maxed b4 I started questing, just hit my 16th 120 today, also glad I have all anachronia portals unlocked, 200m arch was so worth it

hey man! good to see you back! I recently came back to the game from a decade break and I have been using your videos for quests whenever possible. So glad to have to back to making these videos!

[@SikovitRS]

Glad to be back! And welcome back to you as well

[@TrashDawgs]

Thanks for all your guides. You make by far the best quest guides for rs3. Super happy to see your making content again!

[@nathanhurst3192]

Can confirm the teleport north on anachronia is faster. I played us walking side by side (no surge). Ended up messing up and going south first, backtracked, and still beat you by a lil bit.

[@SikovitRS]

Nice! I wanted to go that way but I had to take the path I did in the video because it’s accessible to more people and it’s harder to navigate lol

[@GuldPoseidon]

Another great guide. Thank you, man!

[@SikovitRS]

No problem man! Thanks for watching

[@Farebury88]

thanks homie always the sickest guides

[@SikovitRS]

No problem! Thanks for watching

[@moravec94]

Also right after you escape the lab if you talk to charos right outiside the door you will go through dialogue and he will hand you a cosmic focus.

[@SikovitRS]

I think you get this at the end of the quest regardless, I got mine without doing this.

[@shynineteen1525]

19:35i did everything you told me to step by step. my quest tab says I should talk to hannibus in the lower area but when I go in he's not there, I went back to other room talk to hannibus he just keeps telling me to do the pylon thing over and over again, I relogged, teleported out of ana and came back and nothing.. if Jagex gonna have a 5 hour quest they should atleast try and fix the game lmao 🤣

[@moravec94]

if you use an augmented mattock typically in hand then you'll want to grab tht from the bank when at the dragonkin remains and orthen rubble. otherwise, youll be there for a while.

[@SikovitRS]

Ahh yes..I had assumed everyone just had their best mattock in their tool belt. Genuine question though, why don’t you?

Awesome vid bro! I always use you for my quests. Just a heads up, the laboratory section at the end with the pylons was different for me. Idk if it’s different for everyone or not?

[@SikovitRS]

Thanks man! And that's odd..any chance you mixed the pylons up? This is the first comment I have gotten about this.

[@Fl4ngerr]

Does anyone know, if you don't finish the boss fight, and end up going back there in the future, what item(s) do you need to enter the cave?

[@SikovitRS]

I think the eye of jas and maybe the measure.

[@Fl4ngerr]

[@pwner332]

when I talked to hannibus after observing the dream he doesnt move locations.... why?

[@SikovitRS]

Whenever you get stuck on a quest, I would recommend opening the quest up from your quest log and read the last bit of it. It should give you a hint or tell you what you are supposed to do next - should be the step that you missed if any.

[@Danlivions]

I got all the requirements but when i try to speak to seren to start the quest, azzanadra keeps making me talk to him to start azzanadras quest, but i dont have the fucking quest requirement which is the desperate measures... hehehe what should I do?

[@Danlivions]

had to bring ring of charos ;0

[@Ovadia381]

Thank you for making this guide! That dinosaur invasion segment is just purely bad design. Like you have this segment where you could tactfully change your character and others to handle certain dinosaurs better only for the solution is to simply not play the fucking game but instead stand still and do nothing. they could've at least made it so we could use regular combat, that would've at least been fun! Literally everything else about the quest was awesome though.

[@SikovitRS]

You’re welcome! Lmao in a way I kind of agree with you about the dinosaur segment. I cut this out of the video but I actually had to restart it several times because I thought it was way more complicated than it actually was so I thought I either wasn’t getting it or couldn’t believe it was as simple as it actually was. On the other hand, I am not sure most players would actually like it to be complicated.

[@TheBeastDesaever]

Can someone confirm you need anti fire potion for it ? i cant find it on Wiki but someone on discord told me you dont need it for this dragon.

[@SikovitRS]

There’s a comment on this video from 9 days ago where he said he forgot it and still got through the fight. Although if you are concerned, why wouldn’t you just bring one anyways?

[@TheBeastDesaever]

@@SikovitRS I dont have one! Only place to take one is at Ed2 dung. Not a safe place to go without anti fire haha

[@snozjam2289]

@@SikovitRS charos, right before going into kerapacs the measurer made him disappear and haven't been able to get him back still.... ugh

[@SikovitRS]

@@snozjam2289 you know the part where you have to go find him in the 4 locations with the measure, if you finished that part, he’s supposed to disappear from those 4 locations then you should be able to find him right outside the door to kerapac’s lab. So assuming this isn’t a glitch, what I am thinking you either didn’t finish what you needed to do in one of those 4 locations and he still might be there (I would suggest double checking all 4 locations) or you are looking for him in one of the spots he’s supposed to disappear from which is the wrong spot, you need to go outside kerapac’s door.

@@SikovitRS thing is, i did all locations, just before he's in front of kerapacs door he is in the room next to it to the north, I used the measure and now he's gone and not even in front of kerapacs door or anything... not sure what I can do, I reported it as a bug
