[@JovianCloudfarmer]

good evening to all chest enthusiasts

[@TaylorLawrence-hk1jm]

I’m a ass man

[@mendelson6052]

I’ve been a chest enthusiast for my entire life, and my enthusiasm only grows.

[@TrySomeFentanyl]

I prefer smaller chests, not too small, but not big. I find small chests to not get nerfed as much as time goes on. Plus they are typically more balanced.

[@tylers1128]

Hell yeah

[@joeytje50]

re: 10:00 there is one area I can think of which is single-combat where multiple monsters attack you: Kalrag's lair in the Underground Pass. After killing the giant spider Kalrag, ALL of the surrounding spiders attack you, even though it's in single combat. Also, in Pyramid Plunder you can have multiple mummies stalking you, but since those are spawned by other players, those can't attack you. However, this makes me think perhaps if you have a swarm AND mummy spawned to the same player, in the same room, it might be another situation where this happens.

[@krimin8599]

Barrows as well. If the last brother spawns in the tunnels while opening the doors and you keep spamming the doors, there's a chance another last brother spawns and starts attacking as well. Then you have two last brothers attacking you simultaneously in a single combat area.

[@holdenwoofter5896]

I had this same though, idk if it's actually singles/multi there but that's absolutely the most likely culprit

[@mijkolsmith]

Maybe it has to do with the same problem as the Hemenster chest ID.

[@Skeldoor]

Man I love the janky old mechanics in this game, feels like there’s so much hidden below a surface level play through. The informational style of this video was refreshing and cool

[@Tellacon]

Janky old mechanics good

[@robertsaget6918]

The small amount of runes are holdovers from before runecrafting existed. Runes were hard to come by. This is why the ardougne chests give nature runes as well

[@walto]

the zealots probably use similar jank to nechryael death spawns, which are notoriously silly. fun fact about the death spawns: you can just straight up log out/hop worlds while they're attacking you. i wouldn't be surprised if the same is true for undead zealots.

[@bobbington7]

You can be under attack by a nechryael and a death spawn at the same time in the slayer tower. Cool thing also, is if you are only under attack by a death spawn, it doeant count as combat and you can still log out.

[@joshtaylor9157]

If you double spawn a barrows brother by repeatedly going through a door, and they both spawn in the same room, they can both attack you.

[@Tellacon]

I noticed this on stream the other day after writing that section, one normal npc + brothers can hit you too!

[@triman6734]

I like this video style, it reminds me of the way Josh isn't gaming presents his random Yanille facts in his onechunk series, which i also really enjoy

[@ddman7867]

i think these are called video essays

[@daniellovesosrs]

Theres a chest in the stranglewood mining area thatll teleport you to a small island surounded by lava south east of mount karulm ir whatever its called. The weird thing is when you get teleported and try again itll tell you theres no need to do that again... weird.

[@Tellacon]

Ohhh I actually used this during the quest originally...

[@daniellovesosrs]

@@Tellacon oh i havent done it so I wouldnt know.

[@bolobre4th]

General Graardor does indeed drop ourg bones in Rs3. But to make them unique to him they're called "Ourg Bones (General Graardor)"

[@dooglasii]

To add, it was changed in an April 2009 update from big bones to ourg bones.

[@uimgoogle3033]

In barrows. More then 1 of the barrows brothers can attack you at one time if you somehow spawn them in the same room. This normally happens with the exact same barrows brother being spawned twice.

[@sunname6252]

For Graardor not dropping Ourg bones: My guess is that the ones we loot were prepared in a special way (the colored wrap and such) that his being well... Not, is why they're just plain big bones. Saying that: Having the priests of Jiggig be able to prepare his bones for a roll at the special ogre bones might be a neat thing.

[@kasperpedersen1523]

Totally random instance of multiple monsters being able to attack you in singles: I'm pretty sure that when you kill the giant spider during underground pass the small spiders attack you as if it were multi despite actually being a singles area. Im doing the quest on my gim soon so i can try to recreate it again

[@geraltofnivea1434]

another example of the single target area where multiple NPC's can attack you is the spider lair in the underground pass. When you kill the big spider all the small spiders jump you.

[@Tellacon]

Another one I thought about is Barrows, as the barrows brother and one npc can hit you

[@ImBuanana]

You should totally test if you can be teleported by the teleporting chests when teleblocked

[@neeksthecuz]

Hitting that Sara Brew drop is a high I'll never forget. It got me hooked on Konar slayer, the drop table now isn't even that bad

[@msterli6]

Nechryael spawns function the same way as those Zombies, they can attack you in single combat with the Nech

[@Tellacon]

My brain just disregards these 😂

[@Ryan_Richter]

The undead zealot behavior is very similar to enemies that spawn when you do clue scrolls, to the point that I think they just reuse the same code. Whenever you get a wizard/double agent/etc from a clue step, even if you're in combat and in a singles combat area, the npc will be able to target you. I suspect that if you were able to get multiple of these npcs nearby they would have the same behavior of being able to attack you simultaneously in singles.

[@Zanpaktou36]

Absolutely loved this video. Gimmie all the chest lore!

[@Protopteryx]

Nice video. There are some instances where some NPCs attacking you can PJ and ignore single combat, such as barrows.

[@TOBYSHERIDANWHITEPOWER]

Superb video! Happy to see more of this style or your usual series, both are great!

[@Tellacon]

Thankyou

[@purge2202]

General Graardor is the last living Ourg because the Ourgs in Gu'Tanoth are Undead.

[@ingydegmar2060]

In forgetable tale quest you learn about chaos dwarves working with ogre shamans. Obviously the dwarves didn't wan't to be spotted in Gu'tanoth so they hid in the chest. I bet there's Ogre shamans in keldagrim chests somewhere.

[@Tellacon]

Time to get hunting 👀

[@browncow5210]

I think the spiders in the Underground Pass can pile you in single combat when you kill Kalrag, but it's been awhile.

[@Quiiescent]

Great video!! The editing and narration flow super well :) I think you did a phenomenal job with the new style. Hope this gets some attention and maybe we can see more like it.

[@Tellacon]

Huge compliment thankyou

[@chessdoug]

Maybe the anti blink item will make it so a chest can't teleport you?

[@charlesgoode6058]

Do chest teleports work if you are teleblocked?

[@Protopteryx]

​@@charlesgoode6058 exactly my thoughts! Needs to be tested in a pvp world, bring your most expensive gear! :D

[@kylbarry4466]

I love vids like these same vibe as josh's weird yanille facts.

[@ToVisitOctober]

Brings the chest to light. Jagex dev’s: It’s just a bug.

[@powerclan1910]

the spiders during underground pass i think can all attack you when you kill the mother

[@trippyYoyoXD]

Great video, love the editing and topic, looking forward to future videos.

[@jackers30]

Rs3 general graardor DO drop ourg bones

[@Tellacon]

Oh this is cool

[@mijkolsmith]

Who the fuck at jagex thought "Let's add a drop of saradomin brews to the chest. 2500 sounds about right!"

[@danielquirk9293]

Very interesting video thanks for the content! Looking forward to more to come

[@he_who_nuts]

I freaking love a good chest

[@isaacjacobs1167]

What it you use a ball of wool on a cat and open the chest at the same time, it changed the loot drop on a certain NPC when done

[@Cynical_Failure]

Yo, another video in less than a week! Really like this informational style.

[@Tellacon]

Thought I'd at least try it out

[@RuijsNL]

Killing it with the content lately🔥🔥

[@Tellacon]

You know it 🔥🔥

[@Ziggy_Ziggeh]

Great video loved format and everything,

[@PeevedLatias]

Graardor actually drops Ourg bones on RS3, funnily enough.

[@WanderingPsyduck]

Wonder what happens if you go to a pvp world and get someone to teleblock you. Would the teleporting chests still trigger? Probably less useful on the chests with long cooldowns but could be interesting if it works on the isle of souls chest

[@Agile_Tom]

I learned some fun chest facts today!

[@CobraDar23]

very cool thank you chest locked!!

[@jorilla6857]

I wonder id tele-block would stop the teleport

[@Tellacon]

There is only one way to find out...

[@dillangeiser4820]

The chest with the steel arrow tips can’t be failed when using a hair pin instead of a lock pick from wizard towers quest .

[@Tellacon]

This is hilarious

[@larstiel3099]

what happens if you are teleblocked? Would you get teleported in that case or not?

[@Tellacon]

I believe I tested this back in October but it may be a fake memory... And it still teleports you... But I don't have confirmation in my head, may need to go re-test

[@shmee9999]

I'm not sure this kind of video will be for everyone as it's quite niche but definitely a good supplement to go alongside the main series

[@Tellacon]

I wanted to test it out with something familiar as 1. It helped improve my editing a ton! 2. It was fun, and 3. I like the style of video c: Gotta take some risks and make some tests!

[@TrySomeFentanyl]

Pfft, these kind of videos are the bread and butter. Series interest tends to stall out, but fun information on our childhood games is always interesting.

[@aVeryRealGoose]

First video I've seen from this channel and I thought it was great personally. Gonna go and watch the series now!

[@RyanSunDynasty]

Very interesting and great pacing

[@Slayer_Jesse]

Huh, i remember graador getting changed to drop ourg bones back when i played rs 2. Looked it up on the wiki and sure enough it does. So its in rs 3, but i guess that never got back ported to osrs.

[@tehwobblez1337]

Hell yeah entertainment for dinner tonight!!! 😊

[@shaddowulf]

Should verify barrows chests. I swear I have had rats or skels still hitting me after opening and getting in combat with the brothers

[@wyattsyverson8603]

Thanks beast

[@masterzen107]

Such a neat video!

[@mathewsaunders1157]

What if one was to teleblock self on an alt prior to using the "blood rune chest" or will it still teleport you? Either way a teleblock could work in your favour to loot or escape.

[@Nick10909]

Nechryaels and their spawns can all attack you in a singles area right? So the zealots aren't the only ones.

[@Tellacon]

This is a good one!

[@purge2202]

Its singles-plus (which applies as Singles to mobs) but the Calvarion dogs can both attack you at once.@@Tellacon

[@towelcat]

how about the exam centre chest that changes between three separate ids

[@morallylost3368]

love this series!

[@salt-emoji]

7:04 so.... What if you were teleblocked ? Say you were on a pvp world and had a friend TB/protect? Please test as, i have no friends.

[@Tellacon]

I believe I tested this back in October but it may be a fake memory... And it still teleports you... But I don't have confirmation in my head, may need to go re-test

Been testing this a lot lately, still teleports you

[@TirelessGod]

So in your chest series..... Would you be able to loot those Npc's drops since the Npcs come - from the chest - thus by the transitive property it's legal? 😂😅

[@Tellacon]

Correct... 😂Genuinely correct

[@isaacjacobs1167]

Does the chest teleport you if you're teleblocked?

[@Vaelin69]

tbh not a fan of watching a purely educational video on chest mechanics ill never use. But it is content so i can respect the grind.

[@Tellacon]

This is fair - I feel like a few risks are a great way to see what works, and keeping it within the chest niche hopefully helps the video! I mainly did it to improve my editing skills and storytelling pacing, as well as test the waters with the style of video

[@Vaelin69]

Honestly, im probably the outlier here. It was good information, and well presented. If it performs well and has good engagement then don't let my opinion steer you away from doing it more. Tbh I do love obscure facts about runescape, and I will watch videos like this all the time. I think I just got baited into thinking it was a new episode and it soured the taste when it wasn't.
