@@VideoGameBot Hey so I've been doing solo cox for the last 4 hours and once I figure out what tick to attack on I can get into the cycle quite easily, especially with the 1:0 melee thats super easy once I know to attack on say the 1st tick to get into cycle. But rn I'm struggling heavy figuring out what tick I need to be attacking on. Can you help me? What do I do

excellent guide, coming from someone who's never done COX before I'm very excited to jump in and it will probably be a solo for my first attempt. This really helped for the hardest part of the raid. Thank you!
be prepared to die a lot, it def takes practice to get it down, but its worth all the planks to get the practice in so you can start getting good kills
Dude..... your guides, i've done perfect solo olm now..... gotten ancestral bottom, and yesterday fakin tbow! all dis on my ironman : ) thx dude for tbow : )
Videogamebot, thank you for these videos. These tutorials are hands down the best guides I’ve seen about solo chambers. I tried watching all the other popular guides and there’s just too much. I just got the perfect olm solo achievement after a week of doing a raid or two per day using this method. I never thought I’d be able to do solo olm deathless. I’m gonna start working in 4:1 melee hand and 4:1 head, which I never thought I’d be able to do. You rock!
@@1tubax Entry mode ToB doesn't require much at all. There's a nice video guide for that, the ''it doesn't matter'' video, best guide I've seen honestly. :D Entry mode ToB of course doesn't give you gear upgrades but at least you're learning the mechanics of ToB from that.
This was a fantastic guide, just sent my first no-death olm with 3:0 mage, 1:0 melee, 1:0 range setup. BGS works well as your primary melee weapon for 1:0 melee. I appreciate it sir
@@dimitrishaw2099 in my experience whatever weapon has the highest strength bonus, so elder maul is best but any godsword is close behind. A Crystal Halberd, Barrelchest Anchor, or Dharok's Greataxe without set bonus even would be higher DPS than a tent whip
This was honestly incredibly cool to see and listen to you explain everything! I wasn't even planning on actually trying to solo it yet but this popped up in my recommendations and it looks like something I could eventually learn to do, so I might start learning it this week
I feel like a can do this on my Iron now! Best guide ever! Going to watch all your content when i get a chance. The exact kind of content i was looking for.
there is just something about the way you explain and commentate that makes it easy to digest the information and have me hooked on what you are saying the whole time. you are underrated. would love for you to make a guide on how to do the whole raid and maybe theatre of blood and tomb. subscribed and really enjoy ur vid
Man your cox guides have been so ridiculously helpful. I just got my first deathless raid today as well as achieving not so special lizard( I’ll admit with some luck as I just barely fucked up perfect olm. Still WE. FUCKIN. GAMING. Thank you so much bro!
Saw this video a few days ago, and watched the other videos in the playlist. Now 12 completions later I have my first deathless kc. Thank you so much! Tried other guides in the past but always got stacked out by Olm and gave up after a few attempts. But your tips and tricks on getting into cycle are so good and easy. Can't wait keep on learning, first I want to improve on is the headphase cuz that sucker is long 🥲 Thanks for the guides man 💪
Hey VideoGameBot, just now starting to learn CoX! I'm going in a really weird order for what content I learn, but another amazing guide as usual! I watched your 4:1 guide too, but realized that all of the underlying concepts are here in this video and I should try out the 1:0 method before moving on to anything too complicated and came back to this vid. Only 2 kc, but I learned so so much just coming back to rewatch sections of this video every time I died over the course of a few hours. Massive thank you for all of the knowledge you share with your viewers
@@FukoHasStarfish so happy to hear you're jumping into new content and taking the time to learn it!! I know you will find success. I highly recommend learning 1:0 until you feel comfortable and want to take an extra step and upgrade to 3:1 or 4:1. It's a big step, but I know you can do it! Good luck
this was very helpful for me. been learning to solo started 2 days ago, the "if splash then you have to run left for for head to turn" is so simple to see in this vid, and seeing the 0:1 melee was nice though i'd like to 3-0 i can fall back on 0:1 and seeing the head phase is good, I was trying to attack 3 times per run, but it seems you can only attack twice, or at least twice is simple
Insanely helpful! Thanks for doing this! I'd love a video guide specifically on head phase. This head phase looked super smooth, but when I try 1:0 I feel like I'm mindlessly chugging brews from all the crystals falling on me haha.
Head phase can be really unlucky with crystals. Sometimes it just sucks. What's nice about head phase (especially when doing 1:0 head) is that you dont have to be tick perfect. as long as youre past-center you can attack at any time. You can even attack from the far ends. You get like 3 full ticks of opportunity where you can attack. That means if a crystal is falling near the tile you want to attack on, just wait a tick or 2, and attack later. All that said; I will probably be making a head guide soon :)
Could you make a 4:1 olm video, i have tried to watch a few of them but i feel like they explain it weird and you have a very good way of explaining things.
Just watched this and got my first 3 solos done. I died at olm head phase but that was due to not correcting fast enough. Thank you for the easy explanation :))
You mentioned 3:1 being a scythe or 5t specific strat and there might be a 3:1 scythe method but I think 3:1 usually refers to a simpler version of 4:1 where you still prevent Olm from using special attacks by turning his head like in 4:1, but you don't have to find the specific part of his attack cycle where he does a basic attack into an empty attack event, in 3:1 he just simply will only ever do a basic attack. This is a great guide and I'm sure it'll help a lot of people get into cox solos, I just wanted to say 3:1 melee hand is actually a great jumping off point once people get comfortable with the movement and head turn rhythm of 1:0! The biggest caveat to 3:1 over 4:1 is it uses a lot more run energy, but anyone who's been doing 1:0 won't be a stranger to that. Nice video man keep it up! Definitely the humblest zuk helm I've seen on youtube yet
I think it's unrealistic to expect most first-time coxers to have such high-end gear. I figured most players have better gear than what I used, so hopefully with a little hard work and practice people can start learning to solo cox regardless of their budget :)
With your guide I did Vasa as one of my first bosses and it was super easy and fun. Deathless completely till I reached Olm.. After that, I planked, and just logged. I went nuts.
Olm is so much harder than the rest of the raid, completely normal bro. Bring less switches, make the max prep you can, always safe to 110 and focus on getting the run down over dealing damage. Olm was never meant to be a solo boss so you have to prioritize learning the movement above anything else.
This is such a blessing. I always wanted to get into COX but never found a good video on OLM. Any chance you'd make a similar sorta video for the rooms?
The rooms for me as well. Really been wanting to get into raiding but I don’t have any friends that play also I don’t know if anyone would want to raid with a noob like me. Thanks for this video
@@VideoGameBot thanks I ran across those right after I posted the comment. Thank you so much. You really simplify the raid, I’m going to try later today. I appreciate the vids a lot.
Hello just wanted to comeback and comment how I got a solo cox deathless a while ago thanks to you and now yesterday I even did a solo cm. You are the best!
Since in melee you are attacking every 8 ticks, you have some other weird options that I believe are more DPS than whip/defender. For example, any godsword (plus you get awesome pray bonus so use piety for sure). I even think the colossal blade (thing from giant foundry) due to bonus from size of npc (the hand). I use just a bgs. It's chill and fast if you land good specs. Also during mage phase, use thralls. If you splash, the thralls usually make head turn also.
Bro i totally shoulda used the colossal blade! That woulda been awesome :o That said, I was trying to use a budget setup that i figured at least 90% of players would be able to use. That's why i used whip/rune defender/glory/etc.
Mistakes happen! My intention was to show how to correct yourself if you make a mistake. So many guides show how to beat the boss "correctly" or "perfectly" but don't often take the time to show how to fix your mistakes if/when they happen. They call me GameBot, but we are all human :)
Literally started my first ever CoX last week and legitimately wanted to quit the game because of Olm after a few runs. Haven't tried it yet but this seems so much simpler than what Woox and Synq described and looking forward to trying it soon.
That was a really great guide man, thank you for this information. The full kill with commentary was very helpful for a good thorough understanding of how the mechanics work.
Great method I’ve done over 100cms this way while watching Netflix and sipping on my morning coffee. Not “efficient” but super chill and way easier than 4:1
so crazy that you try to justify doing this. you could have done 200 cms in that time if you just learned the proper way and didnt use this training wheels method
@@myosotis07 you can also tic manipulate skilling but tons of people choose the more relaxed option because it’s more efficient to do something slower than not at all
@@masonanderson6504 youre still trying to justify not learning the correct way to do something. there is no saving you. you will always be content with being bad havebfun with your 1 hour solo cms
@@myosotis07 Correct way doesn't equal as optimal way, it's subjective to the person who plays the game. It's crazy that you are gaslighting people playing the game as how they want to play it and enjoy it.
Amazing guide! Been trying to learn solo olm guide and the melee hand has been a nightmare but this guide has helped so much, thank you! Hopefully I don't have to suicide for supplies soon
Fantastic guide! Your explanation is incredible and really makes me feel like I can try it, after struggling with most high level PvM content outside of Vorkath lol. Two questions: 1. Do you think Elite Void would be worthwhile here? 2. Do the points you earn change what your rewards can be? Like is there a threshold you need to stay above to qualify for a Tbow?
Thank you for this! I'm planning to learn CoX solo on my main this weekend or next in preparation to do it solo on my GIM because my group partner won't go with me but I still want access to CoX drops on my iron and have nobody else to go with. This should solve that problem!
This is actually amazing, you're instantly likeable too. The only thing I am a bit unsure about, but I suppose I will learn over time, is when you splash on the mage hand, you don't seemingly walk back to the same tile each time, and I am not sure why. On another topic completely, what was your character weight during this video? As an UIM it may be harder for us to get down to a similar weight, thus requiring more stamina pots. Thanks again, much love!
So I didn't go fully into depth about why I sometimes run left, and sometimes change directions. That would be for a slightly more in-depth 3:0 guide. You can look up other 3:0 guides and they better explain what I did and why, or you can wait a bit because I plan to make more to help with olm. Thank u very much for the complement :) Much appreciated. My weight was roughly 34kg. I dont have the exact weight, but I tried to recreate the set for you.
Something I learned watching this was that Olm's "attack tick" on a 4-tick pattern went from 1 to 3 to 1 again, so I am guessing once you start the fight you will know exactly when his attack tick will be on every phase. If it starts at 1, it will be 1-3-1-1; 2 will be 2-4-2-2; etc, for each phase, respectively. Didn't wanna count the ticks in between phases but it's probably divisible by 6 and on a static timer. P.S. Thanks for the video, this is a great place to get a lot of CA points early on for any new(ish) account!
Not necessarily. I have also noticed that this happens often, so what you say could be reasonably true in most cases. But the REAL deciding factor, as far as I am aware, is what tick you actually kill the phase on. I have never dived deeper into this sort of theory, but depending on what tick you kill olm on will dictate his "attack tick" for the next phase. But, you are close. The pattern you mentioned does happen quite often.
@@VideoGameBot Interesting, that makes sense that it would relate to when you end the phase - but that should be at the same point in the cycle consistently, too, I think? I'll be heading there soon and trying to figure it out lol
@@wandernaut Well we can get a little technical here, if you want? Let's say you are doing 1:0, and olms head moves on tick 1. You run on 1, you hit the hand on 3, the hand dies on 3, and the transition phase begins. You were 2 ticks off of when his head turned, therefore it might make sense that the next phase is off by 2 ticks. Phase 2, he turns on tick 3. You are still doing 1:0. Now you run on 3, 2 ticks later you hit olm. He dies on Tick 1. Another 2 tick offset. Phase 3 begins, 2 tick offset occurs, back to tick 1. So if you are doing your 1:0 correctly, it makes sense that there is a 2 tick offset between phases. If you attack a little early, or a little late, this may not be the case. I am not 100% sure about this. Just kinda theory crafting here. But I like theory crafting :3 Let me know what you find out!
I wanna do so many CoX but sometimes the first of the CoX is really intimidating. Thank you for the guide this should loosen me up a bit and make the first of many CoX a little bit easier.
My total experience with CoX so far is the 1 KC for diary that I brute forced after a 90 minute solo raid. Was curious about something. Given the buff to salamanders with Varlamore, is it possible to do the 1:0 melee method on the mage hand with salamander set to magic? Personally find the 1:0 methods a lot more consistent to 'afk' compared to having to pay attention for a splash. Assuming it works, it would allow doing the whole fight with 1:0s. Assume it would as it is the only melee length magic weapon in the game, but haven't had the chance to try it yet as still need to get the new salamander as a drop.
Nice video! I will test it out, very new to learning ticks and stuff (currently doing some mechanic withouth awareness of ticks, but using em unconsciously). Does this tick parttern for range phase (1:0 or 1:head if I recall correctly) works with bowfa?. Also, the melee 1:0 method works with any spec weapon? dwh/bgs hopefully?
Yes and yes! melee 1:0 and range 1:0 will work with literally any weapon :) Good luck learning! 3:0 might pose a bit of a challenge, but I am confident you can do it!
Thanks! Maybe its time to give it another try :)? If you are interested in 4:1, I made a guide on it that I think shows a simpler method than most 4:1 guides out there. (I like using easy methods, when possible) Regardless, best of luck!
@IanTtierney so just FYI I don't use 3:1 or 4:1 in this video, but I have some links in the description if you ever feel like learning those methods. 3:1 means that you hit olm 3 times, and he hits you once. In this video I use 1:0. That means we hit olm 1 time, and he hits us zero times
@IanTtierney to reiterate: in this video I used 3:0 mage method, 1:0 melee method, and 1:0 range head method. This is the slowest way to kill olm, but if done correctly, he will never hit you even a single time!! That's why it's such a great beginners strategy
This got recommended to me, glad to see a great guide get seen by the algorithm. I play rs3 now but this was easily understandable and easily absorbed. Great work.
Not sure if you'll see this but does using thralls affect olms head turning? Ive tried to look it up but have seen conflicting opinions. Thank you for a fantastic learners guide.
Sadly I dont have an answer for that either XD I've heard it has an effect with regards to whether or not you splash the mage hand. I can't confirm. Sorry 😢
I like to click the melee hand to drag from the mage side after splashing. Sometimes you'll deal damage and only have to run to the melee side of middle.
Wow this is amazing, never heard of this method before. Question tho. Is it possible to do solo scaled raids? And up to how much scaling would be possible alone? Also for like the rooms in general
So good video ! I struggle more with getting in rhythm with the mage but on 4th kill I had 2 deaths when I went into the last head phase , died couple times there cuz I forgot to use stamina and lost rhythm, but thanks
Thank you very much for this guide. Today I sent my first solo cox because of this video. First I went to practice the methods and get to understand how the head works. I play from Brazil so my best ping is 145, I don't know if its because of this, but I feel its easier for me to click 1tick early. If I see Olm turning his head at 2, I click at 1 and it works very well. I got the melee 1:0 very fast, and I feel I can set up at any time, but I still struggle with the 3:0 mage. When I mess up I can only set the cycle again if start all the way from the left of the room, in the last tile of the mage hand. When I try to setup from the middle, I mess up. Any way, I died twice. In the second fase and in the head fase, because I was nervous, I made a lot of mistakes and had to set the cycle a lot of times. But it was very rewarding at the end. I feel that I loose a lot of supplies in the rooms. Do you plan of doing a guide for the most common rooms? I wish more people could teach like you. I'm avoiding Vespula and Vanguards.
So happy you got a chance to try it! Keep practicing, it gets easier :) I plan to make a video for all of the cox rooms!! Keep your eye out for it, its coming soon!

I’m gonna start working in 4:1 melee hand and 4:1 head, which I never thought I’d be able to do. You rock!
@benhorne452 youre freaking gaming dude!! Nice job!
Paying attention to which tick Olm turns his head was an absolute game changer for me. Fantastic guide!
me too and first solo guide what really help me :D thx man
Great guide! Nice to see someone do Olm in bare minimum gear, shows it can be done by anyone.
This was a great guide. It gives me confidence to try. I just need the tile markers
I got the tiles in the description :)
@@VideoGameBot sweet! Thanks 🙏
the ToB quest took me so many tries with youtube guides. this makes me want to give raiding another try lol
Start with toa or cox. Much more beginner friendly than tob. Most tobbers will really require you to have maxed stats and good gear to take you.
@@1tubax Entry mode ToB doesn't require much at all. There's a nice video guide for that, the ''it doesn't matter'' video, best guide I've seen honestly. :D Entry mode ToB of course doesn't give you gear upgrades but at least you're learning the mechanics of ToB from that.
6k subs is absurd considering how valuable this video is too thousands of people. Subbed buddy 👍
@scottsanders2851 thanks king :) we r on the way to 10k ^.^
This was a fantastic guide, just sent my first no-death olm with 3:0 mage, 1:0 melee, 1:0 range setup. BGS works well as your primary melee weapon for 1:0 melee. I appreciate it sir
What is the best weapon to use given attacking on an 8t cycle?
@@dimitrishaw2099 in my experience whatever weapon has the highest strength bonus, so elder maul is best but any godsword is close behind.
A Crystal Halberd, Barrelchest Anchor, or Dharok's Greataxe without set bonus even would be higher DPS than a tent whip
This was honestly incredibly cool to see and listen to you explain everything! I wasn't even planning on actually trying to solo it yet but this popped up in my recommendations and it looks like something I could eventually learn to do, so I might start learning it this week
I feel like a can do this on my Iron now! Best guide ever! Going to watch all your content when i get a chance. The exact kind of content i was looking for.
there is just something about the way you explain and commentate that makes it easy to digest the information and have me hooked on what you are saying the whole time. you are underrated. would love for you to make a guide on how to do the whole raid and maybe theatre of blood and tomb. subscribed and really enjoy ur vid
Thank you so much! I plan to finish this cox series, and then I want to move on to either Inferno, or ToB :)
Really appreciate the compliment
@@VideoGameBot ToB would be great!
Man your cox guides have been so ridiculously helpful. I just got my first deathless raid today as well as achieving not so special lizard( I’ll admit with some luck as I just barely fucked up perfect olm. Still WE. FUCKIN. GAMING. Thank you so much bro!
Saw this video a few days ago, and watched the other videos in the playlist. Now 12 completions later I have my first deathless kc. Thank you so much! Tried other guides in the past but always got stacked out by Olm and gave up after a few attempts. But your tips and tricks on getting into cycle are so good and easy. Can't wait keep on learning, first I want to improve on is the headphase cuz that sucker is long 🥲 Thanks for the guides man 💪
Hey VideoGameBot, just now starting to learn CoX! I'm going in a really weird order for what content I learn, but another amazing guide as usual! I watched your 4:1 guide too, but realized that all of the underlying concepts are here in this video and I should try out the 1:0 method before moving on to anything too complicated and came back to this vid. Only 2 kc, but I learned so so much just coming back to rewatch sections of this video every time I died over the course of a few hours. Massive thank you for all of the knowledge you share with your viewers
@@FukoHasStarfish so happy to hear you're jumping into new content and taking the time to learn it!! I know you will find success.
I highly recommend learning 1:0 until you feel comfortable and want to take an extra step and upgrade to 3:1 or 4:1. It's a big step, but I know you can do it! Good luck
this was very helpful for me. been learning to solo started 2 days ago, the "if splash then you have to run left for for head to turn" is so simple to see in this vid, and seeing the 0:1 melee was nice though i'd like to 3-0 i can fall back on 0:1
and seeing the head phase is good, I was trying to attack 3 times per run, but it seems you can only attack twice, or at least twice is simple
This guy slaps, i've known gamebot for a while now and he's a great dude.
Thanks, King!
Insanely helpful! Thanks for doing this! I'd love a video guide specifically on head phase. This head phase looked super smooth, but when I try 1:0 I feel like I'm mindlessly chugging brews from all the crystals falling on me haha.
Head phase can be really unlucky with crystals. Sometimes it just sucks. What's nice about head phase (especially when doing 1:0 head) is that you dont have to be tick perfect. as long as youre past-center you can attack at any time. You can even attack from the far ends. You get like 3 full ticks of opportunity where you can attack.
That means if a crystal is falling near the tile you want to attack on, just wait a tick or 2, and attack later.
All that said; I will probably be making a head guide soon :)
KairosGaming osrs when?
Omg I used to watch you 5 years ago in the peak times of brawl. Happy to see you also dabble in RuneScape haha
Absolute legend, best guide out there for beginners. Liked and subbed. Thanks so much!
I am more than happy to help ^.^
Could you make a 4:1 olm video, i have tried to watch a few of them but i feel like they explain it weird and you have a very good way of explaining things.
Let me see what I can do. Thanks for the compliment :)
i watched combined 5 hours of guides and was fubling until this. this is amazing!
Very chilled guide, understandable, and smooth commentary. Gotta saving this to personal osrs playlist.
Thanks so much for the video, it helped me out immensely. After literally 2 raids, I am now soloing COX deathlessly. Thanks a ton! Definite sub
So happy to see comments like this. No problem :)
Just watched this and got my first 3 solos done. I died at olm head phase but that was due to not correcting fast enough. Thank you for the easy explanation :))
You mentioned 3:1 being a scythe or 5t specific strat and there might be a 3:1 scythe method but I think 3:1 usually refers to a simpler version of 4:1 where you still prevent Olm from using special attacks by turning his head like in 4:1, but you don't have to find the specific part of his attack cycle where he does a basic attack into an empty attack event, in 3:1 he just simply will only ever do a basic attack.
This is a great guide and I'm sure it'll help a lot of people get into cox solos, I just wanted to say 3:1 melee hand is actually a great jumping off point once people get comfortable with the movement and head turn rhythm of 1:0! The biggest caveat to 3:1 over 4:1 is it uses a lot more run energy, but anyone who's been doing 1:0 won't be a stranger to that.
Nice video man keep it up! Definitely the humblest zuk helm I've seen on youtube yet
I just finished making an in-depth 3:0 guide, and the 3:1/4:1 guide is coming next :D! I'd like to slowly work our way up with baby steps :)
Hands down the best olm guide for noob like me. High sub count guides are just for high tier gear.
I think it's unrealistic to expect most first-time coxers to have such high-end gear. I figured most players have better gear than what I used, so hopefully with a little hard work and practice people can start learning to solo cox regardless of their budget :)
With your guide I did Vasa as one of my first bosses and it was super easy and fun. Deathless completely till I reached Olm.. After that, I planked, and just logged. I went nuts.
Olm is so much harder than the rest of the raid, completely normal bro. Bring less switches, make the max prep you can, always safe to 110 and focus on getting the run down over dealing damage. Olm was never meant to be a solo boss so you have to prioritize learning the movement above anything else.
This is such a blessing. I always wanted to get into COX but never found a good video on OLM. Any chance you'd make a similar sorta video for the rooms?
This sounds like a good idea
i would also love a video for the rooms. or if you can reccomend one
The rooms for me as well. Really been wanting to get into raiding but I don’t have any friends that play also I don’t know if anyone would want to raid with a noob like me. Thanks for this video
@@chexa8702 I have a guide up with every room (challenge mode) and easy rooms (budget gear, same setup as this video) Check them out :)
@@VideoGameBot thanks I ran across those right after I posted the comment. Thank you so much. You really simplify the raid, I’m going to try later today. I appreciate the vids a lot.
Hello just wanted to comeback and comment how I got a solo cox deathless a while ago thanks to you and now yesterday I even did a solo cm. You are the best!
So epic dude!! Thanks for telling me about your success! Thats awesome
got this in my recommended, could never get 4:1 down, but this guide seems to very clear, gonna attempt 1:0 with this later today and see how it goes
Since in melee you are attacking every 8 ticks, you have some other weird options that I believe are more DPS than whip/defender. For example, any godsword (plus you get awesome pray bonus so use piety for sure). I even think the colossal blade (thing from giant foundry) due to bonus from size of npc (the hand). I use just a bgs. It's chill and fast if you land good specs. Also during mage phase, use thralls. If you splash, the thralls usually make head turn also.
Bro i totally shoulda used the colossal blade! That woulda been awesome :o
That said, I was trying to use a budget setup that i figured at least 90% of players would be able to use. That's why i used whip/rune defender/glory/etc.
Great guide. Showing a few mistakes really makes all the difference.
Mistakes happen! My intention was to show how to correct yourself if you make a mistake. So many guides show how to beat the boss "correctly" or "perfectly" but don't often take the time to show how to fix your mistakes if/when they happen.
They call me GameBot, but we are all human :)
Literally started my first ever CoX last week and legitimately wanted to quit the game because of Olm after a few runs. Haven't tried it yet but this seems so much simpler than what Woox and Synq described and looking forward to trying it soon.
Love to hear it! GL, adventurer
This is what we were waiting for!! I instantly subscribed!
Learned this exact method and that's why I've got rigour. Thank you for making a true beginner guide.
That was a really great guide man, thank you for this information. The full kill with commentary was very helpful for a good thorough understanding of how the mechanics work.
This is a really really good intro to more complicated movement\ticks Really well done dude
Fantastic demonstration. Like the music too - what tune is that? EDIT: Nevermind....that is the actual music for the fight :D :D
Thank you for this, love your videos. Got my first 0 deaths by watching this. You are the man!
More than happy to help! Youre gaming!
This guide is outstanding. Thank you so much sir. It has made raiding so accessible to me!
The visual metronome is game changing and it's awesome to 'study it' to see how the mechanics work :)
Great method I’ve done over 100cms this way while watching Netflix and sipping on my morning coffee. Not “efficient” but super chill and way easier than 4:1
so crazy that you try to justify doing this. you could have done 200 cms in that time if you just learned the proper way and didnt use this training wheels method
@@myosotis07 you can also tic manipulate skilling but tons of people choose the more relaxed option because it’s more efficient to do something slower than not at all
@@masonanderson6504 youre still trying to justify not learning the correct way to do something. there is no saving you. you will always be content with being bad havebfun with your 1 hour solo cms
@@myosotis07 QUIT PLAYING THE GAME HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY IT >:(
@@myosotis07 Correct way doesn't equal as optimal way, it's subjective to the person who plays the game. It's crazy that you are gaslighting people playing the game as how they want to play it and enjoy it.
Amazing guide! Been trying to learn solo olm guide and the melee hand has been a nightmare but this guide has helped so much, thank you! Hopefully I don't have to suicide for supplies soon
Best solo Olm guide I’ve seen out there! Absolute beast ❤️
Loved this. The gear was somehow the most insanely flexin budget intro setup to ever grace this game 😂
Who would have thought a 5mil olm setup would be so loved :P
this makes me feel like i can try cox and spoon a tbow, thanks!
This is awesome! The overhead tick counter seems really helpful
Mate, you just earned a new subscriber. This is a insanely well put together guide. Cant thank you enough for this!
Fantastic guide! Your explanation is incredible and really makes me feel like I can try it, after struggling with most high level PvM content outside of Vorkath lol.
Two questions:
1. Do you think Elite Void would be worthwhile here?
2. Do the points you earn change what your rewards can be? Like is there a threshold you need to stay above to qualify for a Tbow?
Thank you for this! I'm planning to learn CoX solo on my main this weekend or next in preparation to do it solo on my GIM because my group partner won't go with me but I still want access to CoX drops on my iron and have nobody else to go with. This should solve that problem!
This is THE best guide for beginners! thank you!
That was the goal! This is not a guide for experienced soloers or speedrunners. I want to help new people get into endgame content.
You are such a beast. I needed something like this
This is actually amazing, you're instantly likeable too.
The only thing I am a bit unsure about, but I suppose I will learn over time, is when you splash on the mage hand, you don't seemingly walk back to the same tile each time, and I am not sure why.
On another topic completely, what was your character weight during this video? As an UIM it may be harder for us to get down to a similar weight, thus requiring more stamina pots.
Thanks again, much love!
So I didn't go fully into depth about why I sometimes run left, and sometimes change directions. That would be for a slightly more in-depth 3:0 guide. You can look up other 3:0 guides and they better explain what I did and why, or you can wait a bit because I plan to make more to help with olm.
Thank u very much for the complement :) Much appreciated.
My weight was roughly 34kg. I dont have the exact weight, but I tried to recreate the set for you.
You made this so trivial. I’m so stoked and ready to jump into this tomorrow!! Thank you.
Something I learned watching this was that Olm's "attack tick" on a 4-tick pattern went from 1 to 3 to 1 again, so I am guessing once you start the fight you will know exactly when his attack tick will be on every phase. If it starts at 1, it will be 1-3-1-1; 2 will be 2-4-2-2; etc, for each phase, respectively. Didn't wanna count the ticks in between phases but it's probably divisible by 6 and on a static timer.
P.S. Thanks for the video, this is a great place to get a lot of CA points early on for any new(ish) account!
Not necessarily.
I have also noticed that this happens often, so what you say could be reasonably true in most cases. But the REAL deciding factor, as far as I am aware, is what tick you actually kill the phase on. I have never dived deeper into this sort of theory, but depending on what tick you kill olm on will dictate his "attack tick" for the next phase.
But, you are close. The pattern you mentioned does happen quite often.
@@VideoGameBot Interesting, that makes sense that it would relate to when you end the phase - but that should be at the same point in the cycle consistently, too, I think? I'll be heading there soon and trying to figure it out lol
@@wandernaut Well we can get a little technical here, if you want?
Let's say you are doing 1:0, and olms head moves on tick 1.
You run on 1, you hit the hand on 3, the hand dies on 3, and the transition phase begins. You were 2 ticks off of when his head turned, therefore it might make sense that the next phase is off by 2 ticks.
Phase 2, he turns on tick 3. You are still doing 1:0. Now you run on 3, 2 ticks later you hit olm. He dies on Tick 1. Another 2 tick offset.
Phase 3 begins, 2 tick offset occurs, back to tick 1.
So if you are doing your 1:0 correctly, it makes sense that there is a 2 tick offset between phases. If you attack a little early, or a little late, this may not be the case.
I am not 100% sure about this. Just kinda theory crafting here. But I like theory crafting :3
Let me know what you find out!
I wanna do so many CoX but sometimes the first of the CoX is really intimidating. Thank you for the guide this should loosen me up a bit and make the first of many CoX a little bit easier.
dude my biggest struggle with olm is timing the head turns. thank you so much, this made it way more simple
edit: also +1 for chinchilla
Understanding how the head turns is a game changer! I hope this helps :)
Chinchilla (Naruto) appreciates that :3
My total experience with CoX so far is the 1 KC for diary that I brute forced after a 90 minute solo raid.
Was curious about something. Given the buff to salamanders with Varlamore, is it possible to do the 1:0 melee method on the mage hand with salamander set to magic? Personally find the 1:0 methods a lot more consistent to 'afk' compared to having to pay attention for a splash. Assuming it works, it would allow doing the whole fight with 1:0s. Assume it would as it is the only melee length magic weapon in the game, but haven't had the chance to try it yet as still need to get the new salamander as a drop.
This is exactly what i was looking for. thanks bro
Hope it helps, dude!
can’t wait to try this! looking to solo on stream after getting recent reqs on main, insanely helpful and informative! 😁
Good luck, dude!!! Throw me a shoutout if the guide helps you get your first solo kc :3
GL tbow !
@@VideoGameBot thank you man definitely will! ❤️
after watching. must subscribe. first time thats happened. GREAT JOB
Nice video! I will test it out, very new to learning ticks and stuff (currently doing some mechanic withouth awareness of ticks, but using em unconsciously).
Does this tick parttern for range phase (1:0 or 1:head if I recall correctly) works with bowfa?.
Also, the melee 1:0 method works with any spec weapon? dwh/bgs hopefully?
Yes and yes! melee 1:0 and range 1:0 will work with literally any weapon :)
Good luck learning! 3:0 might pose a bit of a challenge, but I am confident you can do it!
Loved the video. Would definitely watch more of your guides!
This is incredible. Im around 650 chambers kc and have never done a no death solo olm. Never put the time in really to figure out the 4:1
Thanks! Maybe its time to give it another try :)?
If you are interested in 4:1, I made a guide on it that I think shows a simpler method than most 4:1 guides out there. (I like using easy methods, when possible)
Regardless, best of luck!
great guide dude thanks for these. cant wait to try next time i’m on
You'll have to let me know how it goes!! If you struggle with the methods, I have more guides that can help :)
Great video, very accessible and well-narrated. Thank you!
awesome guide! loved the commentary, although i still don't really understand the concept of 3:1, 4:1, etc. what do those numbers mean? i'm a noob btw
@IanTtierney so just FYI I don't use 3:1 or 4:1 in this video, but I have some links in the description if you ever feel like learning those methods.
3:1 means that you hit olm 3 times, and he hits you once.
In this video I use 1:0. That means we hit olm 1 time, and he hits us zero times
@IanTtierney to reiterate: in this video I used 3:0 mage method, 1:0 melee method, and 1:0 range head method. This is the slowest way to kill olm, but if done correctly, he will never hit you even a single time!! That's why it's such a great beginners strategy
Great guide. Learnt so much about the underlying mechanics of olm timings. Thank you!
This video motivated me, you are a beast! New sub btw.
I hope it helps!! It might take a bit of practice to get the timing down, but once it clicks, you'll unlock a whole new world of fun :)
Awesome video!!! I am struggling hard with cox so I'll give this a go! Thank you!
This got recommended to me, glad to see a great guide get seen by the algorithm. I play rs3 now but this was easily understandable and easily absorbed. Great work.
Very nice guide, super helpful and easy to follow along!
literally the best guide ever!
I just got my first solo kill and it’s entirely because of this video.
Thats sick man! GL on the fatty purps
Not sure if you'll see this but does using thralls affect olms head turning? Ive tried to look it up but have seen conflicting opinions. Thank you for a fantastic learners guide.
Sadly I dont have an answer for that either XD I've heard it has an effect with regards to whether or not you splash the mage hand. I can't confirm. Sorry 😢
i'm nowhere close to doing cox (base 50s), but this sure is making me look forward to trying it in the future!
Thank you so much for this guide. I finally managed to get a deathless run!
I like to click the melee hand to drag from the mage side after splashing. Sometimes you'll deal damage and only have to run to the melee side of middle.
Wow this is amazing, never heard of this method before. Question tho. Is it possible to do solo scaled raids? And up to how much scaling would be possible alone? Also for like the rooms in general
So good video ! I struggle more with getting in rhythm with the mage but on 4th kill I had 2 deaths when I went into the last head phase , died couple times there cuz I forgot to use stamina and lost rhythm, but thanks
First you got me my quiver, now you're getting me a tbow. Ty
It's all you man! Gl and early gz
Thank you very much for this guide. Today I sent my first solo cox because of this video. First I went to practice the methods and get to understand how the head works. I play from Brazil so my best ping is 145, I don't know if its because of this, but I feel its easier for me to click 1tick early. If I see Olm turning his head at 2, I click at 1 and it works very well.
I got the melee 1:0 very fast, and I feel I can set up at any time, but I still struggle with the 3:0 mage. When I mess up I can only set the cycle again if start all the way from the left of the room, in the last tile of the mage hand. When I try to setup from the middle, I mess up.
Any way, I died twice. In the second fase and in the head fase, because I was nervous, I made a lot of mistakes and had to set the cycle a lot of times. But it was very rewarding at the end.
I feel that I loose a lot of supplies in the rooms. Do you plan of doing a guide for the most common rooms? I wish more people could teach like you. I'm avoiding Vespula and Vanguards.
So happy you got a chance to try it! Keep practicing, it gets easier :)
I plan to make a video for all of the cox rooms!! Keep your eye out for it, its coming soon!
Very nice guide! Looking to start soloing soon
Even did olm head with occult what a boss thanks for showing us this
