How I Completed an Expert Mode Raid on a Desert-Locked UIM...

L sponsor, you should do better

[@ricokramer7716]

i only got one word for this video. RESPECT..!!!!

[@RobKni76]

Nothing personal, man, but I'd make this sponsorship a 1 time thing. I know every company sucks on some level, but sharing mental health info with advertisers is a special type of shitty

[@TeamDreamhunter]

Yeah, BH is a pile of BS. Lots of shady practices including not vetting their therapists properly and constantly forcing religious therapists on customers who specifically ask for non-religious ones. I get that money is money, but I think you can do a lot better.

[@oisterjosh]

Really appreciated you showing yourself getting spanked and getting frustrated, sometimes it feels like I am way worse at learning content than people I watch because they cut out all those parts and just show the epic plays. Seeing a more realistic version was kind of cathartic, so thank you.

[@OooEeOooAhAh]

Actually a crazy guide, i know how to RedX but honestly this explanation is so good

[@markcrosby1939]

Finally!! Here we go on a guaranteed banger.

[@roberson644]

Lol I like how we're all overconfident in expert mode for the first times. Then we proceed to die like 5x in a row and smash our keyboard.

[@Rubbly]

37:38 "Expect another video sooner rather than later" sounds like that got derailed 😂😅

[@UIM_Loki]

BRO THE JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN I'M SO EXCITED

[@LunarForte]

Babe, wake up. Our favorite OSRS official channel featured sexy desert man just posted a new vid!

[@LunarForte]

Every like gives Rakine another floating turd

[@gluehuffer6955]

Finally caught up! Great series.

[@OooEeOooAhAh]

The black-screen and subtle hint was gold

[@DrJiozu]

Finally Deserted! 🎉🎉

[@jacobp6571]

I'm not built different enough to do experts with you, but hope to see some quality contents from them!

[@thespicyjim8954]

Well damn, I just inhaled the entire series. Excellently done, wildly entertaining. Thanks for the content ♥

[@MPD90]

Great to see desert man back. Have you thought about allowing exceptions to the desert lock directly linked to uniques obtained from ToA? Could be a great 2nd life to the account. For example; i. Full masori could unlock armadyl (fortified masori), ii. 4 light bearer drops could unlock DT2 bosses (4 bosses / ring upgrades), iii. Fang + cursed phalanx together could unlock ToB/warriors guild (avernic), iv. Eledinis + menaphite ornament kit could unlock corp (spectral), v. Thread of eledinis could unlock last man standing (rune pouch), vi. Masori crafting kit could unlock Vorkath (assembler), vii. Shadow could unlock CoX (ancestral), viii. Tumeken's guardian + all 4 remnants could be a wild card unlock of one piece of PvM content of your choice, ix. Green log (with or without capes?) could unlock a quality of life upgrade of your choice (e.g. a resource outside the desert like a location for resupplies or a skill), In my mind I'd imagine that an unlocked boss via above list would be fair game for all unique drops from that content, but non-unique drops would not be allowed (so supplies etc are still being sourced in the desert). Practicalities of that would need thinking through I'm sure. Just a suggestion to keep the party going 👍

[@raijinoflimgrave8708]

Dumb comment u really think he's gonna spend thousands of hours locked to the desert then totally give that up and do DRAGON SLAYER 2?? Which one of the requirements for it is 200qp. That totally defeats the purpose of this account. Also, what's he gonna do with a spectral sigil lol.

[@MPD90]

@@raijinoflimgrave8708 Oh shut up, people like you are so filled with negativity you can't see beyond the end of your own nose. It could breath fresh life into an otherwise dead account, with clear restrictions all ultimately linked to the desert. And you know bloody well I meant arcane, stop being a damn imbecile...

[@sav3498]

so for baba you never need to move one tile up when the boulder is falling from the ceiling what you do is literally wait for impact of that boulder on the floor and as soon as that happens you click the crystal and you are still in rhythm for me its just nicer cause i dont do anything minus wait a little longer. hope that helps in the future for you.

[@Muhh_Dude]

Alittle tips I know of, when red Xing baba if you stand on the very top when he phases boulders you can never be thrown in the pit. And melee trap kephri. Or even range trap. Other then that man good vid!

[@abee127]

He deliberately doesn't melee trap because he has nothing to damage the meleer besides fang

[@DrxFluffeeee]

New Dune Lord 6 minutes ago? It's a good Sunday ❤

[@christophermuise9871]

"40m will be a ton of shadow charges" oh you poor sweet summer child...

[@xRakine]

🥲

[@Kamikaze_4]

I love this series. I'm glad that you're doing group raids now. Keep up the good work!

[@jackspadessenpai1883]

hyell yeah brother, sick skit and song as well, much love to the beloved bard

[@ennohooijmans3651]

Been waiting for this, you don't know how much!❤

[@TheKingQazbatt]

yay another dune lord episode

[@MrFrogRS]

The desert legend himself. Amazing accomplishment! It's a real shame you had to resort to Red-x imo, but I really respect the grind. Good stuff my guy!

[@grapes8209]

new drinking game. every time you see a "???" while he is at akkha, take a drink.

[@JohnyOSRS]

gratz for the shadow!!! deserved!

[@gamerdood3]

Badass! Dune Lord is my motivation to get ready for ToA.

[@igenator]

Idk why I just lit up like a fat kid in a candy store seeing a new deserted video

[@Wizxrdry]

The row at the very top of the hill in baba room is safe from the gap. So just make sure you stay against the wall f youre in the middle

[@kylbarry4466]

Bro expert solo on the dune lord is epic what a journey, I agree wrap up the series doing team toa!

[@marisasob]

"sooner rather than later" - where is our dune spoon? 😂

[@masonspringer8715]

Just so you know, the silk dressing is taking the place of your second ambrosia

[@WhiskeyRiver778]

Huge! been waiting for this one!

[@modjoe4107]

Better help is a scam, its been ousted many many times, why anyone would still take money from them is beyond me

[@leviroch]

Free money lol. Plus the irony of a scam sponsoring RuneScape of all things is hilarious to me :D

[@animeentranced1130]

I wouldn't call it a scam, but it's not a great service if you actually need therapy. It's closer to walk in counseling with gig economy therapists.

[@austinanderson774]

Gz man, what a journey

[@Greeey]

Why not use overly draining, I can’t imagine fang specs helping that much. Also lively larva at a 305 would be much better than dealing with more overlords

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

35:46 There's a 0.01% chance that the chest will take one of your pets away.

[@MaconHero07]

Are you willing to do a ToA run with a desert locked team (like Settled did with Swampletics)? For scientific purposes only

[@solthas]

max invocation with other desert-locked UIMs since there's so many of them

[@Skylased]

I never comment but I love these video brother ! Keep up the good work!!

[@iaih]

BANGER as always

[@georgefisher7808]

Best series ever ….

[@fddlhv]

It took so long for him to do an expert run, now he is just going to be carried. Feels kind of cheap TBH

[@DiGiFiShRaGeMoNsTaR]

honestly more helpful than any of the TL4 guides so far XDDD

[@lofidante1778]

i hope that the finial task after getting all purples is to complete a maxxed out raid with a team of equipment restricted accounts.

[@ferrariramsgobrrr]

Hey Rakine, Long-time fan of you and your content, and I know that KZbinrs often take sponsorships with... less than wholesome products (e.g. mobile games that push Mtx). I imagine that most people ignore sponsorships on videos most of the time. And I would guess that content creators like you would assume that most of your audience is just ignoring the sponsorships most of the time, which might help you justify the idea of taking the sponsorship, even if the company is a little shady. However, this time I think it's crossed a line. The kind of person who might be tempted by this video's sponsor is likely to be vulnerable, and not in a good place. They might be desperate, and looking for help anywhere. It's important that those people are not subjected to advertising that pushes them to use a service that may actively harm them. I hope this was an oversight on your part, and that you'll do some research and see why BetterHelp is a bad entity to associate with. (One link below, but do a quick Google for more) I usually just ignore the shady sponsorship partners because it's usually not quite so impactful, and it's more just an annoyance. But this is different because of the demographic it's targeting. I really hope that you retract your sponsorship and issue a statement to your community; I'll be waiting to see how you respond before I press the button on unsubbing, leaving the clan etc, because I do think you're fundamentally a decent person, and I think it's only fair to give you the chance to show that. Hoping to hear back soon. www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2023/03/ftc-says-online-counseling-service-betterhelp-pushed-people-handing-over-health-information-broke

[@connorowen272]

Do a zeah locked account with the upcoming changes! Love the content

[@chin8062]

Are you sure you should use 5tick fang on the core instead of using a 4tick keris?

[@xRakine]

We’ve run the numbers, and it doesn’t save a core phase at the raid level i do so it’s not worth to switch. Im sure theres a threshold where it does matter but i’m not there yet

[@jblover_3014]

Exactly 20 secs in, im gonna put my money on a tumekens shadow here

[@Mason-lr5dz]

I'll take that action

[@birdy_coolbeans]

dune man raid !!!

[@vincentbroeders4992]

did you know you can refill the pots you get in toa straight from the supplies by right clicking? or shift click if you configure it like that.

[@carlosuribe5624]

I’d love to give you a few pointers to make your life easier on toa, i’ll jump into the discord later

[@hhhhhhhhhhb]

if i died in an hour long toa i think id die irl

[@cass8163]

Soloing an expert mode is absolutely a fair way to unlock group raids. Great choice for the health of the series.

[@noahslinker8185]

Lisan Al-Gaib!

[@dnbd_3026]

U can also just keep ranging baba without breaking the boulder phase

[@evangriffin4965]

It’s been a month give us another episode 😊

[@iKristya]

Have you thought about leaving the desert for the ocean?

[@xRakine]

If i can train sailing in the desert, and theres new islands in the desert region, then yeah i dont see why not!

[@ferrariramsgobrrr]

I wrote you but you still ain't callin' @@xRakine

[@Armadyl-9]

FINALLY

[@Spoteddy]

I swear I watched his last episode... and he only got the ring from purple chest, how does he have a fang now? Edit: Ahhh it was the compilation that I watched :D

[@PolarityAttraction]

Finally!!!!

[@Herbilizard]

Can’t believe the betterhelp sponsorship killed the series. F

[@vondrz1391]

Ironmen stand alone

[@keys5376]

[@chelseagrinisgod]

finallyyyy

[@brobrochannel2387]

LFG

[@mory7734]

algorithm boost comment

[@zeraora2607]

I'm unsubbing because of your 'betterhelp' plug. I'm not kidding. It's a scam from the get go and the fact that you take them as a sponsor means you don't do background checks.

[@j0nny93rs]

What’s the scam about it? My partner uses it and I’m genuinely intrigued. I’m now a concerned boyfriend. She doesn’t watch KZbin just found it online.

[@HudsonNosduh]

My brother uses it and it seems pretty decent

[@stvennelson7792]

Please what is the scam with better help this is concerning

[@zeraora2607]

There are currently 3 class action lawsuits against them and they are known to hire unlicensed therapists. Just type in: why is betterhelp bad and you'll get video upon video explaining it.

[@apexbaines9014]

I think they are mixed up with FTX too… crazy really
