You weren't wrong. It was a giant bag of 500, 1 and 10.

[@SikovitRS]

Appreciate the super thanks and for catching the joke haha thank you!

[@xBaristaPaul]

to get to the Needle, you can use Teleport option on your memory strands in your currency pouch if you have them.

[@SikovitRS]

Good tip

[@vavatar9325]

if you're struggling on Sliske's Labyrinth, go to the top and switch one of those. He does not show this in the video.

[@SikovitRS]

31:37 I used the temporal rift to go to a higher floor. I am not sure if this is what you are referring to but I did mention that the animas were on different floors and I wasn’t sure if it’s setup differently for each player. I didn’t show it much beyond that because all the other ones were already in the correct position apparently and I was automatically sent to the next part of the quest.

[@vavatar9325]

@@SikovitRS I had the same set-up as you except I had to go to the very top floor and change the direction of one crystal. I did notice you said set-ups could be different. (Great guide btw, i appreciate your vids)

[@andrewc2876]

So glad you're back! Your guides are the best an most efficient. You can tell you put a lot of research into them. I was forced to watch protoxx while you were away that guy drinks way too much tea.

Hey man, so nice to see you are back Also thanks for the guide, made my day to see that you are back on a new channel and making new guides

[@SikovitRS]

Thank you I appreciate that!

[@welshlad815]

Your quests guide’s are spot on. Got a little confused with the puzzles. Took me about 5mins to click 😂. Great work

[@SikovitRS]

Thank you! Glad it helped

[@aiarochp]

For "OLD RECIPE" room, click on the recipe to read it, the answer to the lock will be the first letter of each of the ingredients. It took me a minute...

[@elderkirkus]

I've ran all over the place taking so many random directions/routes and the 5th sliske is still not spawning, any ideas? Been stuck on 4/5 for half an hour

[@dha12oks]

Regarding the portal for the puzzles to unlock the doors, I found it much easier to just stand on the same spot if the portal was persistent to that spot to unlock the door I wanted, if this helps. Also, at the end where you tune all those green snot things, you can just click on the floor to skip the whole dialogue and the scenes too.

[@Cheyloveesbunny1993]

Okay did the black knight fortress area and whatnot and I travel to Varrock to the library and I don’t see Charos anywhere and I even tried talking to Reldo or whatever but it doesn’t give me anything I need to continue … wtf???

you're literally the quest goat bro 🥴😈

Thanks!

[@SikovitRS]

You’re welcome! Glad it helped

[@DSKMETAL]

SPOILER WARNING FOR MY BELOW COMMENT - DONT READ UNLESS YOU'VE FINSHED THE QUEST OR DONT MIND "by the way, reldo turning out to be Charos" really spoiled the hell out of that for me. I've played this game for 20 years and hearing you say that before it actually happened in the video really ticked me off because I was doing the quest along with you and would have liked to savor the moment of realization - "No freaking way!? All these years and the librarian was Charos the whole time?!". you did not need to say that before the actual reveal in the quest. damn man

[@squidsink2798]

Great too see your back!

[@SikovitRS]

Thank you! Glad to be back

[@LORNIE420]

I'm kinda stuck on the part of the quest where Charos requires the 4 items, right now it only highlights *gleaming energy* despite me having all required items in my inventory. And he wants me to get the dominarian device from Everlight Digsite. What do I do?

[@SikovitRS]

I am not sure what you mean by highlights gleaming energy? Maybe double check the chat options you are selecting - as in actually read the text because that part about the everlight dig site sounds like you are trying to talk to him about something else. You should also check your quest log, it usually gives you some kind of idea as to what you are supposed to do next, basically indicating what step you might have missed.

[@LORNIE420]

@@SikovitRS Thanks for the reply. On my quest log it shows that I have gleaming energy, despite having all items in the inventory. P.S. I don't know what I'm missing out on. I wish I could send you screenshots of it but nonetheless appreciate all the quest guides you're putting out. Mad respect.

[@SikovitRS]

@@LORNIE420 so it lists all the required items but only the gleaming energy is marked off even though you have everything? That sounds like a glitch. Log out and log back in? Idk I can’t do anything about glitches

[@LORNIE420]

@@SikovitRS Yes that's correct. Haha it's all good sur, I think this is a permanent glitch for me. Cause I've tried logging out and in. Nonetheless I still appreciate all the quest guides you have provided all of us!!!

[@SikovitRS]

@@LORNIE420 thanks man! Hopefully it gets fixed soon

[@KingVano]

HE'S BACK :D:D:D:D the questguides have always been topnotch detailed but this guys voice is dope i wanna see more content like skilling or bossing tbh :D

[@SikovitRS]

Thank you! Yeah I have been doing skilling content but they are just far and few in between because I try to hit big goals in those videos. I haven’t done much bossing recently but I will probably get into it eventually.

[@Eagle_Junior]

Patrick, I have a confession to make. I watched someone elses guide on River Of Blood.. I'm sorry man, I couldnt contain myself, I'm to hyped for my cape! I would like to invite you to be the only person to my Quest Cape "party" Lol. I'm a bum, that's why LOL

[@SikovitRS]

LOOL damn..I mean I am going to upload it anyways but I was actually almost done with it. Depends when the party is.

[@Eagle_Junior]

@@SikovitRS Sorry man! I was too excited. But it wouldn’t be an actual party since all my friends on RuneScape quit years ago. You’d be the only one 💀 I figured you’d wanna see the fruits of your labor at Draynor Village when I get that cape haha.

HESBACKK!!

[@SikovitRS]

Yessir

[@InvalidFeeds]

Not sure if this helpful or it might bite me later in the guide. As I was doing the first puzzle with the doors and the slider I did not do all of the previous steps that were in the guide. I went to the "empty chest" room first, did my 4 letters and received 3 tiles of information for the slider puzzle. I proceeded to go through the next portal, and the first room I selected was another "empty chest room" so I did it. Upon finishing it revealed all of the slider locations. Again maybe I skipped something or perhaps I didn't see it through and I will have to come back. Food for thought.

[@MeanWhitePeen]

dude. im drunk.... explain it a little more slowly! lmao jk ill rewatch the vid, sorry i love you and ive been watching your vids for years to help me on my quests. so no offense. ill figure it out. and when i figure it all out, ill be eternally in your debt, just like alllllllll the other quests you've helped me with over the years. KEEP DOIN YOUR THING @sikovit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SikovitRS]

To be fair I never thought about making my guides for someone who was drunk 😂 worst case, you know you can slow down the speed of KZbin videos by clicking settings (the cog wheel) in the bottom right of the video player. Appreciate that a lot!

[@MeanWhitePeen]

​@@SikovitRS lmao hey bro i finally finished when i was sober 😂 made a lot of sense that way. Thank you so mich for all your guides, never change!

[@Losing_my_grip]

I cant seen to get into the black knights fortress after completing the slider puzzle. I put on the bronze full helm and iron chainbody but they won't let me in still.

[@SikovitRS]

What happens when you try to go in? Does it say anything in your chatbox or does an NPC say anything?

[@Losing_my_grip]

@@SikovitRS Thank you for replying so quickly. It says Hey! You can't come in here! This is a high security military installation.

[@Losing_my_grip]

@sikovit Edit: I read on the wiki it said to grab a set of the elite black knight armor from the edgeville monastery so i put that on and it let me walk in.

[@Barliors]

Might do text overlay at 24:30 for the dummies like me who don't hear "and pick those up", if you don't pick up those mask pieces quickly they despawn rather fast and you have to reset that part of the quest. No complaint from me, just trying to help the next dummy along the way.

well done you are the best ... keep going 😍😍😍

[@ShinobiVIPER]

This guide really helped, will be back for the next quest I struggle with. What happened to the Imsikovit channel?

[@SikovitRS]

Glad it helped! The answer to that question was explained in the last video on that channel :)

[@Darkhalo314]

PRO TIP: If you are having trouble with the sliding puzzles: Look up on Google "Sliding Puzzle 3x3 solver" and you can use that to help you quickly and easily solve these puzzles. Not even a challenge anymore. Hope this helps.

[@SikovitRS]

Thanks for the tip!

[@yorothosyorothos6961]

Why you skip it from 31;15..

[@SikovitRS]

I didn't skip anything. I mentioned in the video that the setup for that part may be different for each player. Personally all I had to do was adjust 1 anima, go through a temporal rift to get to a higher floor then adjust another anima. That's it..3 steps which were all shown in the video. Once everything is correct, you are automatically sent to the next part of the quest. I couldn't really do anything about that but if you have something different, the video wouldn't be of any help for that part regardless. You just have to locate the animas and adjust them, there's only 4 in total I believe.

[@velozoo1625]

thanks for that guide man

You need more then a bronze med helm and iron chain to get in

[@SikovitRS]

Not true..I tested this prior to putting that in the video and just did it again. I did mention in the video that there were other options, that’s just the easiest one to get. Are you just assuming it won’t work because you used something else? The bronze med helm and iron chainbody is what the guards wear, essentially you are disguised as a guard.

[@alexlist2032]

@@SikovitRS not sure if it was from a quest or if you’re missing an item other then med helm and iron chain but I literally took off my hsr and khops because I thought that interfered with it to fully taking off all cosmetic overrides, to say the least I ended up up going to the bank for the armour you used in the video

[@SikovitRS]

@@alexlist2032 definitely not missing an item, I banked everything else when I went to test it again just now and I even checked the wiki. That’s so weird though..that outfit has always worked in literally the 15+ years I have been playing this game lol
