Vardorvis | Quick Guide | Axe Skip

[@polishhockeyfan]

Respect to a guy who puts his money where his mouth is and shows it's doable with budget gear if you focus and learn.

[@JakeewM]

I’ve been looking for a guide like this, finished the video feeling like I truly understand the boss now. I had watched 4/5 different guides prior to this one too. Easily the best vardorvis guide out there. Thanks man

[@felixboons]

This is the best video to explain the mechanics imo. The animations were very nice.

[@runewraith]

Glad you enjoyed it and GL at Vard!

[@felixboons]

​@@runewraith Hehe thanks. I did my first 50 kills y'day after watching your video. It worked out well :]. Quite enjoyable too.

[@HullzOSRS]

Just wanted to say thank you so much. I was following slayer's guide and it didn't prepare me for this. After watching your video, got it straight away. Thanks!

[@runopologist]

Great guide. I was failing miserably with this boss but this guide made axe skipping finally click for me and now I’m getting consistent kills. Still got a lot to improve on but feeling a lot more confident now!

[@Restrictive_nat]

Great guide. I would recommend staying in prayer book as much as possible and switch only to eat. Good for catching the range attack!

[@blacknyellow962]

Great video! 9:02 Just goes to show you just how much more valuable stats are than gear.

[@yellowredblue]

Dude!!! Your guide helped me get it for the quest on about attempt 4. Had to learn the axe dodge, recognize the range attacker, bring extra super restores, and watch the prayer. Exciting fight. Hope to finish DT2 today!!! God bless and much love :D

[@tyleralbrycht2287]

Solid video and great guide. I like that your proving that this is possible at lower levels with the d long kill. Top tier content and animations. Killing it man

[@S197_Ninja_GT]

So glad I just found your channel, I've been stuck on the quest version for like 3 months now and I cant get it. So i went from 97 to 106 CB and am going to re try again, thank you so much for your clear, concise, beautiful guide!

[@hollindale06]

Absolutely brilliant guide I’ve got around 100kc just wanted to see the axe skip from the opposite side and you explained it amazing, thanks!

[@runewraith]

Glad it helped!

[@OSRSKyill]

Actually W video, I like how you even had 'error' times to show what happens if it's bad, after showing all the mechanics to truely learn.

[@granddadjad2892]

4:27 play that at 0.25x speed to see exactly when to click for the axe skip. Really helpful video, thanks!

[@Abir756]

This is truly an S-Tier video. Extremely detailed and custom presentation. Just wish you would describe what actually happens in his enraged phase.

[@thanshaw1994]

There isn't anything new in his last phase, he just does all of his attacks quicker and hits harder due to his higher strength level at that point

[@osrspetersburgst2216]

BRO what a great guide! over all very good. editing is crazyyy dude. everything very very smoooooth! you got my sub

[@runewraith]

Much appreciated!

[@ahmedallam4662]

dude it's my first time to watch a guide of yours but it was very very good and it will not be the last .. gj

[@123reza1]

Don't let the views fool you. This is the best guide out of all them on KZbin.

[@HempDragon]

Your edits are remarkable and your guides are amazing, keep up the good work and the likes and subs will follow!

[@MewTubeNuzlockes]

watched a few guides. no luck. watched this, beat it first try. Thanks!

[@potentiostat]

Seriously. I watch another video and tried about 20 times. No luck. I watched this video and killed Vardorvis on the FIRST TRY!! You are amazing man. Great content. The ground items and tagging was next level. Thanks for that too. I was wondering how I was going to add all those tags in battle. You make this boss easy.

[@Nvrbeenspoon]

ive been halfway using the axe skip for 300kc, ty for the guide!

[@Joyfultrain]

Best Vardorvis guide I’ve seen.

[@joshofosho3]

Legit the best guide out there, only thing I would say is adding in the unique special attack sound effects would have been nice

[@runewraith]

That would be a nice touch for future videos thanks!

[@xocryy]

Great guide with great editing, left a like and subbed man ty :))

[@metalmanmatt]

amazing vid as always bud, finally got orund to finishing off the whisperer for my final boss and finish the quest, back to quest cape haha.

[@AlexSchwartzATV]

I dont even understand how the editing is that good. Nice vid

[@lemuellugo8775]

Impressive quality! You earned a subscriber!

[@LooseGod]

Great guide! thank you. It may be worth noting that with the fang nerf, the tent whip is better than the fang.

[@runewraith]

Good point!

[@Chrischerryholme]

Shit, I rarely ever comment on videos but I have to give you props man. Very nice editing and production.

[@Arch2Q89]

Good stuff I'm new to all stuff well explained and thanks for tile markers

[@Mo-mw4zg]

top tier effort put into this, instant sub.

[@runewraith]

Much appreciated!

Holy hell what a guide. You deserve a million subs.

how do you highlight the axe spawns

[@huffypuff0]

Thank you so much, great video

[@fredgatz3257]

awesome guide deserves alot more likes. thank you!

[@Dabs_4_Dayz]

this the one good guide my dude

[@joshuaguevarra]

Bro said quick guide and made a 2 min montage to start the vid off 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SailingNose]

Fantastic and very helpful editing.

[@WildfangAZ]

One tip for people learning the boss. Don't take in crazy expensive gear for the first few kills. You will die a few times leading to a significant gp loss. Budget gear for learning means you will take less of a hit in the bank. Bring out the big guns when you got down the mechanics!

[@SDSMint]

Amazing Guide!

[@embb97]

Wow the thumbnail really spoke to me

[@Kraylor]

this video earned you another sub man

[@rollandcelery3273]

awesome guide tyvm

[@PaladinfffLeeroy]

I love the graphics shown in the video! Did you use a model importer?

[@runewraith]

I used a model exporter plugin from Runelite, the environment exporter software, and blender to do the animations!

[@sjusss5074]

Amazing guide. Could u explain which plugins u are using with the axe highlights with the different colors?

[@runewraith]

I just added it to the vid description but in short: To mark the axes and highlight them enable the "Better NPC Highlight" plugin from the plugin hub. To highlight the axe hulls and vardorvis head add the following ID's to "Hull" in the Better NPC highlight plugin: "12226,12225". To highlight the thrown axes themselves add "12225, 12227" to the "True Tile ID" section of better npc highlight.

[@corsaa_]

good video good explanation

[@runewraith]

Thank you!

[@fissionphoenix4995]

Sometimes it seems to me like max stats is what makes the game easy as people go in with "budget" gear setups but also max att/str/def/range/hp whatever. When I go in with decent mid-high gear, a setup considered maybe just below max and get totally wrecked I often feel like it's not being maxed out that keeps me from the relatively easy success. This is a boss where it's clearly a case of getting the skills moreso than either stats or gear.

[@fissionphoenix4995]

I guess what I feel like I need is a more "survivable" setup that allows me to maximize survivability at a boss rather than dps against them so that I can get more time learning the mechanics and less time running back from a death or tp out with no kill.

[@bigjuicychicken535]

Yh too many people focus on gear when stats is the easiest and cheapest way to improve your hits

[@runewraith]

Big juicy chicken is right! You won’t believe how big of a difference stats make in a fight like this (more so than gear). I shot this vid before the fang nerf as well with maxed combat. Idk if I would have beat vard in rune armor without max combat tbh.

[@dekojohns]

great vid!

[@taylorknight8375]

Max stats and I can't even wrap my head around all these mechanics happening. Once that 3rd axe spawns, it's game over for me and I die. I can't even time the range protect.

[@FlexiiKO]

We need a colo guide please

[@treymorley5941]

Hey bro, Fire guide as always! Also what is the name of the track in the intro and outro?

[@runewraith]

Good question: I don’t remember off the top of my head but all the music is from Epidemic sound. I actually just picked some music from their “intros and outros playlist”

[@Sqrwl_STi]

Thanks!

[@death_row8198]

Whats the id for the purple highlighted axe part? I have the axe but it doesnt appear until after its thrown so my reaction time when im standing on the wall side is slow

[@Wattson314]

I can easily kill vardoivis but i just love the editing! keep up the great work!

[@fuhkbiden]

What numbers highlight the head and also what numbers highlight the axes?

[@runewraith]

To mark the axes and highlight them enable the "Better NPC Highlight" plugin from the plugin hub. To highlight the axe hulls and vardorvis head add the following ID's to "Hull" in the Better NPC highlight plugin: "12226,12225".

what plug in do you use to highlight axes?

[@Joyfultrain]

How do you know when his heads going to spawn?

[@runewraith]

Great question! I don’t think there is a specific attack that it occurs on but it’s likely to occur after his 5-6th auto attack. Usually you will get a feel for when the head spawns similar to when Kephri does the dung attack!

[@YouTube-Administrator-Marc]

Please help, im getting hit when the axes spawn at the same time as the head, what do I have to do to skip the axes and pray against the head if they all spawn at the same time? I feel like there is nothing I can do.

[@runewraith]

This is the hardest part about Vardorvis. You’ve gotta be fast when that happens. You get hit by the head on the third tick after it spawns so make sure your using F-Keys for prayer. You can pray range as soon as you hear the head. Likely you will have to do an axe skip on the same tick. It’s not easy, you gotta be quick but it is possible. I’m not sure that I show this exact example in my guide though.

[@YouTube-Administrator-Marc]

@@runewraith Thanks!

[@arturchrz]

is the fang still good after nerf or go with whip?

[@runewraith]

Go with whip fang isn’t worth it after the nerf.

[@Nadsage]

How are the hp bars displaying like that?

[@runewraith]

For the enemies? or me? There is an HP bar plugin on RuneLite not sure the exact one. I would search for "Enemy Hp"

[@granddadjad2892]

what do you do if all three axes spawn on your side?

[@runewraith]

You have to do the axe skip where you move in front of a pillar then move back on the next tick. No other option unfortunately.

[@osrspetersburgst2216]

hey how do i highlight the axes and the pop up guy who throws the laser at you?

[@runewraith]

It’s with the plugin “better NPC highlight” from the plugin hub. I definitely should have added this to the video ugh! Under “hull” and “hull names” write “Vardorvis Head” and under “hull ids” do “12226,11783,122225”

[@erwin4020]

@@runewraith and the one for the spawn that shoots the missile?

[@MrNursex]

thank you was! the guide was awesome.@@runewraith

[@poolofstuff]

im getting so tilted trying to figure this boss out. i have 12 kills and im still struggling to even push 30%. i have maybe 25 attempts so far. i just dont understand how youre supposed to deal with triple axe tick perfect dodging while managing prayer flick and also making sure youre getting your specs out. This is making me feel disabled. Pretty much the only kills ive managed to get were due to good rng with axe spawns in the later phase.

[@MegaChickenfish]

10:05 - 10:07 What I'm trying to figure out is how you're cheating here. I know what a true tile is and all, but you literally run into the center tile of an axe and take no damage. Why not?! edit: and 10:26 right there you cheat again. You move your true tile into the center of an axe's true tile and don't take damage. I am counting every tick of this video and I have to be missing something for this strat to be possible. Did eventually win thanks to this guide though, even if I got hit several times. I found it surprisingly helpful to practice by just coming in and beating him with my dramen staff to practice the earlier phases before things all go to hell in that last 230 hp. _Got a kill after about 4 hours!_

[@for0the0imperium]

[@yasseru92]

Scyth still BIS?

[@MaxCCNP]

Is Thrall mandatory_

[@runewraith]

Nope you can do full kills without a thrall but it’s just lost DPS without thrall so kills will take a bit longer.

Fang even worth it now thats its nerfed????????

[@runewraith]

Not for this boss but fang is still great at a lot of other content. Better to go with a slash weapon like tent whip, blade of saeldor, or scythe if you’ve got the cash.

i can raid mythic wow, but cant kill this lmao idk why my brain cant understand how move mouse to click and not just press keybind
