F keya and the inventpry tags are huge things to help a noob get only slightly better. I've only just started TOA and I have definitely gotten a little bit better through using both the keys and the colours for quick Gear switches. Though, I think one of the best things you said is to die a lot so you can learn(and not applicable to smelly, sweaty hcim). RSN Spam_433

I think the most important (or one of the most important) tips is to not be afraid of failure. Or at the very least, not being afraid to at least attempt an encounter because of how complicated some guides make it seem.

Corrupted Gauntlet was my first boss, would suggest most people trying to get into pvm more dangerous bosses to try CG out to get better. forces you to switch attack styles, move around and switch prayers. Plus you don't lose items if you fail, just time.

My tip: Moons of Peril are a great way to learn movement (and get a feel for tick cycles) without needing to worry about prayer swaps. Demonic Gorillas are a great way to learn about prayer and 2-3 item switches. These are also great for players new to PvM because the one-shot threat is relatively low. Once those 2 aspects become easy, move onto Sarachnis. Afterwards, it is all about watching 1-2 guides on YouTube, getting the gear and trying all the other PvM content.

I've been slowly getting into bossing, trying new things, testing how far I can get in an encounter, learning different mechanics and such, so one of the things I found most important is your awareness, cause mechanics as an individual, are fairly easy, the challenge is putting everything together while you are moving or "predicting" next swap or in Zulrah for example, as someone that hasnt got her first kc, being constantly aware of the plug in and the boss at the same time while doing swaps, has been the most dificult part for me but definitely something fun to learn.

So in conclusion, I think awarness is one of the most important skills you can get for OSRS and could be one of the things that hold most ppl back c:

7:50 It's worth noting that most enemies like that have *sound effects* for when their attack registers. For example Leviathan you'll hear either the sound of it hitting you or the "tink" sound of the protection prayer negating it, as the indication that the attack has now registered. It's been really helpful on those bosses to turn sound up and music down. Scurrius is obviously the easiest practice for this.

"Extremely difficult challenges such as Kraken" 😂 Kraken had me so shook I forgot to pray

Pretty certain that tick eating works the same as the prior explained range projectiles, where it is rolling a number when it attacks and you have the projectile time to eat and it will still only hit whatever number it was originally rolling.

The biggest hurdle I faced when I was first starting out at PVM was managing my nerves. Once you learn not to panic, everything becomes a hell of a lot easier. Another one is to avoid unnecessary clicking e.g. don't spam click an enemy you're already attacking (I still do this and die to it a lot 😅). RSN Looweegee

Prayer switches are probably one of the best first things to learn to do for pvm to improve. Doing a boss that forces you to do this will give you practice. Rsn: ExtraMild

Playing an iron a majority of my time coming back forced me to learn bosses in budget setups so it built patience and self forgiveness. Trying out bosses in sketch gear but doing better than you thought gives you huge motivation to grab those mid-late upgrades n see the time drop.

It’s also not as penalizing dying in cheap gear. You expected to and it’s cheap to get and re-run it.

Can’t wait for you to hit 100k Kaoz. It’s well deserved - your content is amazing and it’s always a must watch for me when I see a new upload from you!

Does anyone know what song starts at 4:26 in the video? I've listened to the Runescape orchestral album many times and it doesn't seem to be on there unless I'm missing something!! I love it when it pops up in every Kaoz video.

[MerryMichaelmas]

It's nice to have clanmates or in-game friends to help you with specific questions you may have! Thank you for the video. RSN Junoruno

10:05 I had heard the southwest tile mattered for so long and that you safespot on certain sides for some reason but this is the first time in 20 years anyone has explained *why.* Maybe I can finally remember it and get another wave in the colosseum now (I think my record is wave 7 or so? beating the one with the 3 attack styles)

You can always remap the f keys to letters with plugins, for the moba players out there

Corrupted Gauntlet made me a better player. Genuinely never thought I'd be able to beat it, now I have a 90% success rate

[DarkMemer]

wow, perfect timing, I just became a member for the first time 2 days ago :D

[MacDaniboi]

Prayer flicking is basically like having hacks, but movement is the 2nd most important skill, knowing where mobs will get stuck or not and (which isn't mentioned in this video) when/if you will get dragged towards a mob.

going through the combat achievements helps you learn because it gives you harder and harder bosses to try and give rewards for doing it
