[@nathanielmathews2617]

Runescape lore is amazing, knowing the lore, I really appreciate the quests now. By far the best story in any game in my opinion.

[@11mikecasey]

yes it is! 8 years later

[@Voltage256]

Far from the best story of games imo, but it is a really good one

[@nathanielmathews2617]

@@Voltage256 I was cringier 9 years ago. I will say that for mmorpgs it has one of the best worlds, it doesn't feel like highly contrived slop unlike every other mmorpg in existence. It isnt as good in rs3 these days, but it isn't bad. There are still parts that pull me in even for newer content. New big bad is a psycho mommy, how can I hate? Appreciate the reply on my old comment lol

[@xxxxxxg5302]

Ive been playing on and off since 2004 and i am just now getting to the lore…

[@FarStrider8]

Thank you for making this series of videos. Very nice to listen to whilst training in RS. Plus as a big lore fan, it helps refreshing my memory. Keep them coming!

[@rammerlammer]

the frostenhorn only appears to have power over ice, do keep in mind that is not the case as it magnifyes whatever power is around it, it simply froze the terrain around to further length than what it allredy was, and did any fremenik ever come into contact with it?

[@thecompleters302]

haha, funnily enough i was thinking exactly same thing XD the only other possibility i could think of is guthixs powers seeping out. I like the elder god version more though

[@thecompleters302]

google as always is the gateway to knowledge~

[@natemitchell7812]

Zaros and Seren are both extremely old compared to other gods and have always been divine beings they were created directly from the power of the elder god Mah from the last bit of her dying power this was literally why Zaros fought the godwars he believed it was his right to rule because he was a true god

[@magozebi4588]

wrong info about zaros being a young god, he was created by mah so also 'born' as a god. unlike other gods like guthix and saradomin etc

[@SealDude]

That is Guthix power.

[@viirzars8434]

Sort of wrong. There is a higher tier of God. The Creator God, the supreme one. He was the one who created all of the Elder Gods. This was mentioned by Zaros or in other lore stuff.

[@runescapedud3]

nice

[@TheMachinimaBrothers]

13:52 that's an armadyl battlestaff, not the staff of armadyl

[@pimentejm]

so where are the elder gods now

[@pvmsasuke1700]

After you do Fate of the Gods, you're given one of the Elder items called the measure, you have to go use it at locations which are actually the locations of the Elder Gods, for example, Ice Mountain is one of them, the one on the right at 1:00. Another one either is or is under the Karamja/TzHaar volcano, probably the one in the center in that same picture. I don't remember the locations of the others because I don't play RS3 anymore but those are two I remember.

[@Sad-Lesbian]

They were asleep under Gielinor, with the exception of Mah. Jas slept under the kharidian desert, Ful under Karamja, Bik under Entrana and Wen under the Ice Mountain. Mah, the fifth of the elder gods, was believed to be stillborn and was left on Freneskae. As time goes on she creates Zaros, Seren and even the Mahjarrat. She is eventually put out of her misery during Children of Mah, by Seren. During Heart of Stone, we discover that the elder gods are beginning to wake up as they speak to us through their mouthpieces on the surface. At the end of Sliske's Endgame, Jas herself speaks directly to the player as well. Because she teleports us to and away from her, we can't know if she has truly woken up, but she does threaten to destroy all mortal life. Tldr, elder gods are below the world of Runescape, except Mah, she never was, and is now dead. They are currently starting to wake up.

[@tbssen36]

So what you're telling me is... Runescape God's Exposed isn't Cannon?

[@lordshaodeus1021]

Never knew this game had so much lore, guess all the lore is everything I used to skip when I was playing this when I was nine

[@akumakuable]

is this video out of date or didn't you just noticed? Well anyway I will correct you. Zaros and Seren were created by youngest elder god (can't remember the name) so they didn't gain godhood.

[@akumakuable]

But don't get me wrong, these lore videos are amazing.

[@thecompleters302]

Arska Karkki take it you missed the upload date of 2 years ago huh lol of course its out of date atm (may get around to remaking them though)

[@YoImMuzzy]

Arska Karkki mah

[@hadiabou-ghaida69]

Arska Karkki lol how tf are u supposed to know?do u study the storyline and the history of runescape and "gielinor" play the game and shut the fk up

[@tylercarpenter1045]

+hadi abou-ghaida why do you care so much

[@daddyleon]

Ah.. his murderous face :P anyway.. I can't find anyone that prefers this new look. I can only find some people that don't have a strong preference :P

[@the_dad_st7142]

Totally suscribed, listening to this while playing rs makes it so much more fun

[@thecompleters302]

i'm glad you like these :D Welcome to the channel mate (^_^)_b

[@purplexninjamom]

You did a good job with this. It still holds up after 5 years. I wish you would continue to make these videos though.

[@chivebutter8794]

Still holds up 9 years later. Hope you see this reply lol

[@noahargo9990]

still holds up 10 years later.

[@ukatofox]

And it holds up another 5 years later

[@Roachehh]

Dude thanks a lot for this, i've always been interested in runescape lore and this really brought it to life.

[@FairyRat]

Hey I'm watching this series in 2021 after finally discovering Runescape for myself. I must say I'm already in love with both games (OSRS and RS3) and looks like there is some really interesting lore behind it all. Thank you so much for making it so easy and entertaining to comprehend.

[@ПётрПавловский-щ1х]

OSRS IS BAD.

[@sz_oszkas6733]

@@ПётрПавловский-щ1х rs3 is bad

[@oBlackIceo]

Both games are bad 🤣 osrs is less bad tho

[@Jaina_Freaky]

Watching this while training divination during the Runescape 3 Fort Forinthy Double XP weekend. Thanks for the content!

[@bigbangattack97]

Zaros and Seren are definitely real gods. They were born as Gods created by Mah. Saradomin, Tuska, Zammy, Arma, Bandos, Guthix and the like were mortals that turned into Gods.

[@ThaTiXXid]

I have exam week right now and I find this much more interesting than history itself.

[@maikilreategui1271]

After 14 years I never even realized this game had a lore 🤣🤣

[@Ben1220]

hey, this is a little out of date no? the creator elder god is Mah right? And she's not evil she was just thought to be stillborn and is like a child

[@thecompleters302]

well i made nearly 2 years ago so ya lol, the 1.1 is a bit more up to date. But with all the new quests that have come out since i'm sure theres more i could add

[@thecompleters302]

(^_^)_b

[@thomasnesmith5426]

11 years later this was recommended to me.

[@thecodeson99]

Is this the horn sliske got at the end of dt2 then?

[@thecompleters302]

do you mean have i told them about it? Well i've tried to get in contact, but i've had no response from them so i assume it fell on deaf ears lol

[@madisons2117]

this is just a wild thought, but, are the gods the game devs?

[@madisons2117]

theres no real evidence or anything like that. but it just feels like it could be the rs teams own little illiad and I am all for that.

[@ludi_64]

oh man! I just had an urge to see if anyone had made some videos on RS lore, and this was the top video in my search. The opening "hows it goin people, salmon slapper yere" took me back! I forgot about your channel, I used to watch your hardcore iron fish videos years and years ago!

[@thecompleters302]

Honestly i'm unsure, i don't think he is though. However, Sliske is one of the more powerful of the mahjarrat though, so perhaps he may be close to godhood?

[@thecompleters302]

same i prefer the 'human' look. I assume the look he has in the battle of lumby is his outfit while in 'blue giant' form, the same one he used to use during naragi god wars and before that.

[@thecompleters302]

the way the crown works is a little intrecate. It allows the wearer to know the location of artefacts. But simultainiously it also shows other artefact owners the crowns location. However, it only shows the users on both ends the plane that it/they are located on. For example say Saradomin was wandering the Naragi or Icyene Planes, he would know that artefacts (like the SoJ) is located in the gielinorian plane. It does not however show the precise/exact location of the artefacts. Just the plane

[@thecompleters302]

i'm good, but i'm not that good lol no, this was all information i found around the net and compiled it into a 'story' of sorts. Hopefully it all made sense and came out nicely =D

[@elytianbass]

You should reference this in an ironman vid! Had no clue you did these vids but I'm about to go on a marathon. I feel as though a lot of the newer-rs-watching-on-yt-people would appreciate these!

[@natashasilicamia9679]

I'm guessing u quit playing rs now eh that sucks your guides and vids were amazing

[@thecompleters302]

in all likelyhood, but i'll cover them one by one i'd have thought since theres simply loads of lore

[@11mikecasey]

new content asap!!!

[@thecompleters302]

i've cut down alot so i guess it's going pretty well =D thanks for asking!

[@ilyrana]

seren and zaros where born with their current powers tho. not obtained via artifacts or killing

[@raihanurrahman503]

Who else is watching this after the release of the new Archeology skill?

[@remmsten123]

so this also means if they all die because that where the story leads to the universe will die ?

[@thecompleters302]

np ^^ don't worry there's plenty more to come

[@beastlike1115]

i forgot i was on youtube listening to this while playing runescape

[@WilliamBurgess-kp2dp]

But what about the Crystal and the four warriors of light? lol

[@LouiesLog]

I feel a little bad for killing tzhar for obby mauls now

[@thecompleters302]

Thanks very much :D I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@thecompleters302]

=D you're welcome i'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@chivebutter8794]

Anyone know what Salmonslapper is doing now?

[@DanceUnderInfluence]

I was looking for some RuneScape video's that was not a f*cking 'guide' and came across your playlist. This video is great and you uploaded this 10 years ago, but I just want to say thank you for the effort. I will watch every single video on the lore

[@thecompleters302]

i'm from wales

[@nox_chan]

What if we're just someone's runescape account

[@thecompleters302]

very true, good spotting

[@shaunsmith4747]

I'm confused a bit as to whether Gilenor is a planet or a galaxy or is just the name for both?

[@ImpelDragon]

Planet.

[@Eg1s]

You should update this :P

[@I_Am_Bowi]

says staff of armadyl show armadyl battlestaff they are not the same bud

[@thecompleters302]

*bows* you're most welcome

[@lolmaker777]

bit outdated but still good ; )

[@gisforgeezus7408]

Im definitely about to grind out a 99 to this

[@EpiicFaiilBiitch]

at the end... not true we learn now that zaros was created by an elder god. which makes him a god from birth just not as powerful as them.... yet.... as well as Seren. they never gain godhood by gaining more power. they were created with it. yes as time went by they became more powerful they still were gods from creation.

[@uhlan30]

What’s the music playing throughout the video? I don’t play RS3 so I’m not familiar with the soundtrack.

[@thalescarryonn]

is it me or 11+ minute is with strange sound?

[@Duriel123]

Thankyou for all these amazing video's! I'm an osrs player. But I have played years before eoc was released. Although I don't agree with the gameplay of rs. I am a huge fan of the storylines within geilinor. Thankyou for these amazing videos!

[@thecompleters302]

^^ thank you

[@nateroof]

Great video! Explains alot of the orgins. But may I suggest turning down the back ground music so I can heard your voice more clear

[@kingzork1290]

sounds like Warhammer Call of Cthulu(Along with alot of other books by H.P Lovecraft)and

[@AlejandroGonzalez-wo5fk]

Good video but the music is to loud sometimes

[@Me_Sean]

13:36 i think it was referred to by Zaros as the siphon. But that happened a couple years after this vid came out. so oh well.

[@codyschurz1520]

The horn is in Barb Assault.

[@demonofyou4]

This should be a movie

[@fijician6307]

Love these videos thank you

[@jadehogge4226]

Yea seriously enjoying this content especially when I'm just grinding out my work day. Thanks for the narration.

[@DanielLee-sy6eg]

Elder God Wars Dungeon!

[@arklyre9754]

They have added a cosmetic item called Jas Hands, and they're pulsing Jas Stones.

[@admiralsnackbar1528]

Nice lore video, very interesting=)

[@Dakingnome]

Lol nice xd, how is quiting smoking going?

[@moosemcgroose7261]

Amazing bro, genuinely surprisingly in depth Xxx

[@snowboundcody9293]

The subtitles of this video are hilarious

[@MrImmanuel]

do you do all this out of your head??

[@SealDude]

Personally I am dissapointed in the look Zamorak has. We have seen statues of him that looks human. And then we learn that he was a mahjaraat . Ok cool. Lucien looks pretty cool now and so does many other of them. But then huge dissapointment. I mean...He looks like Heath Ledgers joker....

[@TheCrazy2rk]

sorry i ruined you're 69 likes :(

[@pikalink5676]

wouldn't it be a cool expansion to see the elder gods come back to maybe wipe out or recreate via destruction the world and we the hero's need to team up and defend our world (their creation) from their destructive plans??? New raid oportunity!!!!

[@Sad-Lesbian]

Jas has already told us that if we cannot prove that mortal life is worthy to exist, she will destroy all mortal life at the end of Sliske's Endgame

[@daddyleon]

Hahaha yeah. I would also have preferred a bit more buffed Mahjarrat version... but this is certainly not what I had envisaged... especially the wings (how is that even an extrapolation of how Mahjarrat look???) I;m just hoping they take the widespread criticism to heart and next times (or maybe after Death of Chivalry) they will look awesome again.

[@rammerlammer]

the elder horn...doesn't it souns poosible that it may be the frostenhorn from, The temple at seentisten quest? also it has also been confirmed that there is one more elder artifact present on gielinor, and it is located somewhere in the Kharidian desert

[@SirTooSexy]

I subbed, this is awesome!

[@DeclanBurger]

This is awesome man , love to know and learn about the lore behind this game, thanks for such a great upload

[@muscadineman45pritchett82]

how much of this video count as osrs lore also?

[@wrytte]

Not a lot. Rs3 is in the 6th age while osrs is still in the 5th age. Both take different paths in their stories, minus priff I guess.

[@IrynStyl]

I'm unsure if this info was available when this video came out, but Zaros is a legitimate god, he was born that way. He was directly created by the elder gods, so while not on the same level as them he is still a genuine god.

[@Pikawarps]

when this video came out jagex had just started developing the lore of elder gods :)

[@bloodylilboy12]

when you said sleeping within, talking about the elder gods staying on/in rs, the first thing i thought of was the "power" zammy/sara were trying to gain control over in the cutscene when you first login to rs3 :O!

[@NeCrewn]

Clicks to enjoy a cozy OSRS lore commentary. Gets blasted by techno intro at 1000% vol.

[@ПётрПавловский-щ1х]

what are you talking about?

[@TrickshotHeadshot]

This made me sub ;-)

[@Iceaberg17]

Zaros

[@Iceaberg17]

Zaros

[@SealDude]

Well the Jagex wrote the history. TheCompleteRS is summarizing it to those who are interested in it :P

[@daddyleon]

What do you think of Saradomin's look during the Battle of Lumbridge? - I much prefer the old look (16:40)..

[@Randomvideos3200]

Guthix used the Elder Sword to cut open portals? I coulda sworn that the sword shattered after stabbing Skarkaroth.

[@alexisbradley-banks3350]

Where did you get all this information?

[@cordestian9296]

I thought Jas was a man... Could have sworn Seren called Jas "brother" o.o

[@Sad-Lesbian]

Nope. She calls Zaros brother. She never talked about Jas.
