It's a shame you couldn't finish your Guthix Balance Potion but I guess grinding silver by hand is a bit difficult. If only you had an industrial grinder.
-Finally figures out how to make swamp paste -Immediately teleport to a spot super close to a store that sells swamp paste. This is why I love this series.
@@petittubefinds6257 nope, he just needs to do shades of mort'ton, which is a quest that came long before most of the myreque stuff, thats his biggest problem honestly, doing quests out of order and thus not having the previous experience of preexisting content puts an even bigger handicap than just not looking up guides I believe.
@petittubefinds6257 I'm talking about when he immediately used the cloak to go to the Monastery. Just south of there in Port Khazard there are two ships that sell it.
Sometimes you do things in this series to try figure out solutions or how to obtain items and they seem more logical than the way you actually do it in game. Other times you try making swamp paste with ogre bellows, this series is a hell of a ride
The explanation for how to make swamp paste is from the Sea Slug quest. You don't think about how convoluted this game is until you watch someone else play it.
Yeah, doing quests in release order is fairly important for unguided play. Quest devs often reference materials and stuff without explanation simply because it's from a prior quest
30:30 The audacity of this man, Drezel specifically asks you not to reveal anything to him and you just shove a book you find right in front of his face haha
Ironically, you can actually give Ivan food to heal himself before the fight, but when you try to give it to him during the fight when he's actually dying he's like "naah don't need your food"
*Spoiler Free* Here is the rest of the transcript that you missed. Gadderanks: They fear some things. Silver dust and garlic to name a couple. Also outlawed are *cough* -ralander and *cough* -ders eggs. The potion which you make with them is also forbidden. Player: Take it easy Gadderanks. Let's see if we can sort you out. Gadderanks: It's too late for me *cough*. Though with what I've told you *cough*, perhaps you can find a way to *cough* bring light to Morytania. Gadderanks passes away. Aurel: Hey there! Gadderanks dropped this warhammer, I guess it belongs to you now! Aurel gives you Gadderanks' Warhammer. (End of dialogue)
Happy New Year mate! 2025 is going to be your year! I have to say, the absolute elation I have when I hear you mention a solve for a puzzle and realise what's supposed to happen is like a drug! Thanks for the absolute bangers last year, and here's to 100k! You'll be there in no time!
Thank you for making the contribution I wish I could be making! Totally agree w you, unguided is going to break into the mainstream of osrs content creators this year, I’m sure. He deserves it. Fresh, original content, and he genuinely seems to enjoy it..well, there’s at least enjoyment at the beginning and end of these ‘obtuse’ quests 😂 cheers mate, and @unguided, thanks for the series.
I tried to do a ftp quest unguided yesterday… 2 hours later i found out i forgot that the cabbage couldnt be from draynor manor! Respect for what you do is an understatement
@ every quest in the game gives you some degree of direction or another but the average person can only keep track of so many things. Point was to do it with out guides to see how hard it would be and it was tough!!
its always funny how you come up with an idea to try something, but another idea comes into your head thats ALWAYS the wrong thing to do and you forget the original idea that would work
It’s funny how Veliaf (at the end) goes directly from “Oh my God I can’t believe you’ve managed to do this!” to “Eh, it ain’t good enough to join my group.”
I can't believe how quick you figured out the Swamp Paste at 6:16. That blew my mind as a 20 year vet. I thought for sure this was going to be a several DAY journey.
It's not the first time either, whenever I think he will get stuck he solves it in minutes by sheer luck. But things that I don't even think about is what really gets him good. It's the power of what would be the most comical.
I originally thought you'd missed the third book because of your full inventory! Digging all around Morytania was funny though, and just showed how desperate you had got. Great episode and hope to see more growth this year!
11/10 content! I’m particularly grateful for how you highlight the quest dialog and lore. This quest line is my favorite and it’s a lot of fun soaking in the details with you
I was waiting for this the whole episode and was really curious how he was ever going to figure it out lol but then the quest ended and i thought "thank god"
I swear, I dunno why he hasn't gone there yet. It would have made some many of his walks so much shorter to travel there I haven't played this game in over a decade... so the fact that I remember more than him is ... surprising
@@DaDragon555 Eh, the quest and area is not really relevant to his goals and interests so far, but if he ever wants Mory legs 3 for the Burgh teleport he'll have to go there. We'll see how long that take though eh
I'm sitting in the hospital waiting for my daughter to be born, watching Alien Food relive my favorite questline. I can't wait to watch your videos with my daughter!
So i just found out about your unguided journey like maybe a week ago and i binge watched every single episode, of course knowing a lot about the game helps a ton, but there has been so many times where you would get stuck on something as trivial as finding garlic, missing a bookcase or not knowing that a particular minigame can reward you with snapdragons, oh boy have i slammed my hands on my desk and took my hands to my head going like "COME ON JUST ****ING DO IT, YOU'RE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE THING" or something along those lines.. i am genuinly amazed what you have accomplished unguided, very very nice series and top quality banter all the way through!
Alien you're honestly helping me through a tough time, don't get me wrong nothing impossible but I'm down and seeing a vid from you pop up in my feed is genuinely a highlight that cheers me up so thank you.
The second he first said "silver dust", I remembered my struggles trying to figure it out lol. That's going to take *hours* to find. It's pretty a obscure process to make ~_~
AFAIK the potion isn't actually used in any of the quests and the use case for it is pretty pointless. So he won't need to crush silver unless he wants to make the potion unless he wants to complete the diary
I had to look it up too. There's no fucking way anyone would guess that especially if they haven't done Ghost Ahoy. Maybe with the quest started you could connect the dots but that's some super obsecure shit
Honestly after looking that up if I was a Jagex mod I would add a hint when you try to crush silver with a mortar and pestle that goes something like "You try to crush the silver bar in your mortar and pestle. It's futile. You'll need to use some kind of machine for crushing things, but where would that be?" This would eliminate most of the wrong solution space without giving the game away.
Surprisingly, this is the SECOND time I've seen someone get stuck on how to bless the staff, and for the exact same reason... not realizing they needed to have a rope and then use the staff on the well.
I predict that some of the hardest quest bosses in the game will be a breeze compared to finding random stuff like swamp paste or snapdragons in this series
You're a champ for not tapping out on some of these more arcane quest steps. If I'd gotten so desperate that I was wandering and digging in random spots I for sure would've asked the community for a hint.
Hmm... I would have thought the French would have pronounced Myreque as "mee-reck". Tbf though , Jagex has weird ideas about how to pronounce stuff, especially if French is thrown into the equation. Take Ardougne for instance: it looks french, and the French would say "Ardoon". But the wiki, and some jmods, say "Ardoyn"", like they're thinking of Dordogne". See, Dordogne doesn't have the "u" like Ardougne", and that would produce an "oo" sound rather than Dordogne's "oy" sound. Conclusion: official RuneScape doesn't know what it's talking about. So for Ardougne" it's better to say "Ardy". As for the Myreque... I follow J1mmy and say "My-Ree-Kee". Cos it's cool.
That's the name of the Bajoran resistance group against the Cardassians in star trek . Pronounced by our favorite Frenchman with an inexplicable British accent as "maah-key' Obviously a reference to the same French resistance groups.
Brother I have to say and will always be on my mind when you thank us for being on the quest helper tier, i only think to say thank you for creating another great video to the series... Really thank you for being such a great content creator you made me truly be edging on my seat for a new episode to come out, you indeed have made something amazing and I'm sure a lot of people love your series, I definitely will be watching every single episode that comes out and of course will thank you for all your amazing work 💪🏽💪🏽 have an awesome new year and many more ahead
Multiple times in this series I've seen you do the rapid right clicks of frustration and *see* the information you need but not absorb the information and it's made me pull my hair out in secondhand frustration for you. Happy 2025, here's to many more videos, looking forward to seeing you hit that 100k.
Oof I can only imagine how frustrating this quest was, so many times watching this I was stuck thinking "HE'S SO CLOSE" only to see how much longer the video was.
Quest difficulty tiers atleast initially was entirely based on the level requirements for the quests. Not how hard they actually were boss fight or puzzle wise.
Was busy with some irl stuff for a while, just did a full on binge-watching session for a few days to catch up on like 20 episodes, still just as amazing 😅 Ps. Love to see the huge growth from the start of the series, I mean obviously this was going to explode 😉 but still amazing to see. Gz!
I had absolutely no idea you can make swamp paste. but I know there was a store very nearby that sells 1000 or so lol edit: you used swamp paste that you bought from that shop for one of the pre requisit quests I think lol
30:42 "There is nothing in the quest log. It just says, 'Perhaps the secret library could give me more information about Morytania,' which I've gotten ~~~Obviously~~~ and read."
This is literally the best series on RUclips. Been watching since the start, cant get enough seeing you battle against yourself lol. Much love, 100k subs right around the corner
This series has been a joy and I have returned to my old RS account as a result. Am playing on the current version of RS, or RS3 as it is called and I am having fun playing quests while this is on in the back ground. having this on is also good while I fish and make plenty of Lobsters to keep myself alive during the combat quests, I just did Nature Spirit not too long ago and I am working through quests in an odd manor, but it has been fun. So thank you Alien Food
Without a doubt my favorite osrs series. Please keep this up. I watch it every day and I get so excited when a new video comes out. You've inspired me to play runescape in a whole new way. Keep it up and much love from the USA
I look forward to the silver dust tier of membership 😂😂. You’ve got this! You can work it out. This series is so much fun and so interesting. Your focus on the lore is very much appreciated. Keep your energy up! It’s a convoluted series of items to source but you’re on your way. I miss the hungry kitten!!
As an american i dont think i should inherently know what a poultice is but traveling is exposure, I think its on the same level of knowledge of knowing flour and water can make glue or a basic dough in the right ratios. European countries tend to use old skills regularly cause its cheap, its like an american grandma knowing how to can foods on a fire stove or do macrame doilies from scratch
It's so funny how I'm sometimes impressed how fast you get something, and sometimes I'm thinking: OMG how can you not see this! Really entertaining and unique channel. Never knew it was even possible to make swamp paste from scratch. Keep it up!
The amount of encouragement that i audibly say to try and give you guidance, is hilarious. i keep on wanting to give you the push in the right direction, Love the series!
these videos do such a great job of keeping me entirely captivated. it continues to blow my mind how pieces of information i've learned from guides are not so easily gained.. so impressive
I cant believe the growth on this channel on a game that's a million years old! I've been here since the first few hundred, and it's just unreal. We hitting 100k baby!
That's actually the trouble with some games nowadays. They're built with a Wiki in hand and not a game tester thinking about things and literally making it so that all the information is given to the player at every step. You can still be thematic and world-build, but convoluted quests like these just can't hardly pass the frustration test sometimes.
I heard him say "cage crawlers" and I yelled YES!!! but I think I actually mistaken the swamp paste he's trying to make with whatever herb u mix swamp tar with lol. I actually had no idea you can mix flour with swamp tar to make swamp paste.... Interesting
I absolutely love this series. But I wish in the intro there was a guy in the background saying "where tf do i get milk", that made me crack up in the early episodes 🤣
*Unhinged asf, love the series mate. Actually makes sense that they fear stat restores since draining your blood would theoretically drain your stats. It’s like getting a juice and some cookies after donating blood haha*
Absolutely loving the series! Cheers mate! Look forward to more episodes 😀 Ps the vampire series is one of my personal favorites in terms of story so I highly suggest continuing it.
Haven't even gotta 10 minutes in but man not all problems can be solved with "Is it burnable" or "Should I kill this" BUT it has worked for you so not much I can say😅😅
Though it would go against being unguided, back in 2004 (amongst other years), jagex had a "I'm stuck on a quest" page. You could ask for 3 hints everyday on your active quests (up to 3 per quest or quest step). The hint would start cryptic and get more precise for the 2nd and 3rd
This account is a very warm welcome after spacebarring my way through all the carefully scripted and thought of dialouges Jagex' has put a lot of time and effort in.
Super rare ad appreciation comment: THANK GOD you picked up a Factor sponsor because I spent a good few hours trying to find an active sponsorship for an order. Was gonna give up on it until I sat down to eat and watched the vid up until the ad. MANY THANKS! :)
I've finished watching the whole playlist, and i feel bit empty, then super excited to see new episode! :D Its like watching tv series till the end and being all depresso. But this is better content ;).
Something about Swamp Paste I learned a few days ago in game A Quest in Witchaven has you make Swamp Paste and it tells you how to make it. Of course I know how to make it from this video, The Quest in Question was released back in 2002 and In Aid of the Myreque was an 06 quest. a 4 year gap and is one of 3 quests that use the item. The Item has more use in a handful of Mini Games.
I dont know what I could give to forget all guides info that I know and dive into like you do. That indeed looks like frustration but in some kind of a fun way
You've thanked us for an incredible 2024 and I'd like to thank you for the same thing. This series has been an extremely comforting, engaging, and enjoyable experience throughout the year and has helped me get by even when it hasn't been so easy. I love the work you do, and continue to wish you every success in both your adventures and channel.
I just have to say. Watching your videos is such a great nostalgia trip for me trying to find out how things work/to make. Reminds me back in the early 2000’s when RUclips wasn’t there for help 🥳
This was genuinely a great watch. Yeah doing those old-school quests back in the day was about as frustrating as you experienced today I legit wish I could sub again
Alien, I know you may feel like you have to complete a whole quest inside of an episode (both for production and spoiler-free purposes), but I do think you could also benefit by putting a quest "down" for a bit when you're stuck, doing a side thing (or a different quest), and letting your subconscious puzzle it together in the background. You may feel dumb in these videos, but I think they've really shown how resourceful and clever you are, so I have no worries that if you paused a quest, you would come back later with a new and helpful idea! (/gen) Thanks for making one of my current favorite series on RUclips!

@@dnlowithstripes Someone should really do a series like that. I’d say they could call it ‘Unguided Release’ but that seems like a double entendre.
Sometimes you do things in this series to try figure out solutions or how to obtain items and they seem more logical than the way you actually do it in game. Other times you try making swamp paste with ogre bellows, this series is a hell of a ride

Why you need to do the quests 'by release' dates!

Happy 2025, here's to many more videos, looking forward to seeing you hit that 100k.
My favorite part of this series is when editing!Alien Food makes snarky comments in the overtitles at playing!Alien Food's expense. :P
Easy 100k subs for ya this year im calling it
Oof I can only imagine how frustrating this quest was, so many times watching this I was stuck thinking "HE'S SO CLOSE" only to see how much longer the video was.
Quest difficulty tiers atleast initially was entirely based on the level requirements for the quests. Not how hard they actually were boss fight or puzzle wise.
Was busy with some irl stuff for a while, just did a full on binge-watching session for a few days to catch up on like 20 episodes, still just as amazing 😅
Ps. Love to see the huge growth from the start of the series, I mean obviously this was going to explode 😉 but still amazing to see. Gz!
I had absolutely no idea you can make swamp paste. but I know there was a store very nearby that sells 1000 or so lol
edit: you used swamp paste that you bought from that shop for one of the pre requisit quests I think lol
30:42 "There is nothing in the quest log. It just says, 'Perhaps the secret library could give me more information about Morytania,' which I've gotten ~~~Obviously~~~ and read."
This is literally the best series on RUclips. Been watching since the start, cant get enough seeing you battle against yourself lol. Much love, 100k subs right around the corner
This series has been a joy and I have returned to my old RS account as a result.
Am playing on the current version of RS, or RS3 as it is called and I am having fun playing quests while this is on in the back ground.
having this on is also good while I fish and make plenty of Lobsters to keep myself alive during the combat quests, I just did Nature Spirit not too long ago and I am working through quests in an odd manor, but it has been fun.
So thank you Alien Food
You know its going to be a banger when it's 2 weeks without an upload and then it's an hour when it drops.
Keep it up lad, you've got this
I recently did this questline for the first time with minimal wiki usage and honestly this went better than expected
Without a doubt my favorite osrs series. Please keep this up. I watch it every day and I get so excited when a new video comes out. You've inspired me to play runescape in a whole new way. Keep it up and much love from the USA
I love that you use the music at 3:36 as a “womp womp” effect
😂
I look forward to the silver dust tier of membership 😂😂. You’ve got this! You can work it out. This series is so much fun and so interesting. Your focus on the lore is very much appreciated. Keep your energy up! It’s a convoluted series of items to source but you’re on your way.
I miss the hungry kitten!!
There's other ways of getting it, but good job figuring out how to actually make the swamp paste.
That flour on swamp tar took me back not gonna lie, I'm still scratching my head on how you figured that out.
if you didn't know that "paste" usually means "flour, plus water, maybe something else too", then you're just shooting in the dark.
As an american i dont think i should inherently know what a poultice is but traveling is exposure, I think its on the same level of knowledge of knowing flour and water can make glue or a basic dough in the right ratios. European countries tend to use old skills regularly cause its cheap, its like an american grandma knowing how to can foods on a fire stove or do macrame doilies from scratch
If you did quest in the order they came out then the "Sea slug" quest comes before this one and explains swamp paste
@@Br0ken_Rob0tswhat are you banging on about 😂 shit Americans say. Thanks for the laugh
@@Saviorborn He's not doing them in order though
It's so funny how I'm sometimes impressed how fast you get something, and sometimes I'm thinking: OMG how can you not see this!
Really entertaining and unique channel. Never knew it was even possible to make swamp paste from scratch. Keep it up!
The amount of encouragement that i audibly say to try and give you guidance, is hilarious. i keep on wanting to give you the push in the right direction, Love the series!
I am absolutely shocked that you figured out how to make swamp paste. I remember this being an issue and had no idea how to get it
15:20 Gadderanks is just like me when im tired and i finally get to my bed 😅
I had no idea you could make swamp paste! Brilliant mate
these videos do such a great job of keeping me entirely captivated. it continues to blow my mind how pieces of information i've learned from guides are not so easily gained.. so impressive
I'm so stoked for the future of this series I've watched every episode to date man I love the raw content keep up the hard work
do i need a rope instead?
me: YES
alien: maybe... but lets not try that.
me: FACEDESKS
I cant believe the growth on this channel on a game that's a million years old! I've been here since the first few hundred, and it's just unreal. We hitting 100k baby!
This must be Mod Ed's favorite series ever.
That's actually the trouble with some games nowadays. They're built with a Wiki in hand and not a game tester thinking about things and literally making it so that all the information is given to the player at every step.
You can still be thematic and world-build, but convoluted quests like these just can't hardly pass the frustration test sometimes.
I didn't remember how to make Swamp Paste either. I only remembered a shop where you can buy it.
I heard him say "cage crawlers" and I yelled YES!!! but I think I actually mistaken the swamp paste he's trying to make with whatever herb u mix swamp tar with lol. I actually had no idea you can mix flour with swamp tar to make swamp paste.... Interesting
This series just keeps getting batter!
I absolutely love this series. But I wish in the intro there was a guy in the background saying "where tf do i get milk", that made me crack up in the early episodes 🤣
*Unhinged asf, love the series mate. Actually makes sense that they fear stat restores since draining your blood would theoretically drain your stats. It’s like getting a juice and some cookies after donating blood haha*
lmao right when u said stat restore potion and closed the window I screamed hahah the poor lad
I've finally caught up on the series but now it's gonna be so long to be able to watch another episode :(
Absolutely loving the series! Cheers mate! Look forward to more episodes 😀
Ps the vampire series is one of my personal favorites in terms of story so I highly suggest continuing it.
Haven't even gotta 10 minutes in but man not all problems can be solved with "Is it burnable" or "Should I kill this" BUT it has worked for you so not much I can say😅😅
Though it would go against being unguided, back in 2004 (amongst other years), jagex had a "I'm stuck on a quest" page. You could ask for 3 hints everyday on your active quests (up to 3 per quest or quest step). The hint would start cryptic and get more precise for the 2nd and 3rd
This account is a very warm welcome after spacebarring my way through all the carefully scripted and thought of dialouges Jagex' has put a lot of time and effort in.
Super rare ad appreciation comment: THANK GOD you picked up a Factor sponsor because I spent a good few hours trying to find an active sponsorship for an order. Was gonna give up on it until I sat down to eat and watched the vid up until the ad. MANY THANKS! :)
I've finished watching the whole playlist, and i feel bit empty, then super excited to see new episode! :D
Its like watching tv series till the end and being all depresso. But this is better content ;).
Peak content to watch while finishing up my Leagues tasks.
I just checked, and start to finish this quest took me 48 minutes, with the wiki, plugin, on my main, so I think you did great!
is there a way to check how long a quest took?
@conradical5941 Nah, I record all my questions tho
I am absolutely certain that I could not even figure out half the quests that you already have all on my own. Keep it up, and good luck!!! ❤
I love how I've space bar'd so many quests to avoid lore and I'm sat here now learning it all watching your videos
Something about Swamp Paste I learned a few days ago in game
A Quest in Witchaven has you make Swamp Paste and it tells you how to make it. Of course I know how to make it from this video,
The Quest in Question was released back in 2002 and In Aid of the Myreque was an 06 quest. a 4 year gap and is one of 3 quests that use the item. The Item has more use in a handful of Mini Games.
I dont know what I could give to forget all guides info that I know and dive into like you do. That indeed looks like frustration but in some kind of a fun way
Happy that you managed to find it out in the end! Great start of the new year, looking forward seeing your unguided adventures in 2025!
You've thanked us for an incredible 2024 and I'd like to thank you for the same thing. This series has been an extremely comforting, engaging, and enjoyable experience throughout the year and has helped me get by even when it hasn't been so easy. I love the work you do, and continue to wish you every success in both your adventures and channel.
In veliafs defence fro not letting you join the myrique, you did get a lot of them killed
I JUST caught up with this series today. What a treat
You're a champ for getting through that!
I just have to say. Watching your videos is such a great nostalgia trip for me trying to find out how things work/to make. Reminds me back in the early 2000’s when RUclips wasn’t there for help 🥳
This was genuinely a great watch. Yeah doing those old-school quests back in the day was about as frustrating as you experienced today I legit wish I could sub again
I can never unsee the Grandmster. First time really commenting, but your videos are some of my favorites of OSRS content, keep it up!
I'm finally caught up in this series. I wish I could still binge watch new episodes. Thank you for keeping this series going!!!
New Year, New Unguided Video
Honestly man. This, swampletics and ByRelease. The olymp of Runescape series. Love your work!
Bro I get so happy when I see a new upload from you. Thank you!
As someone who's played the game for 20 years, I had NO idea you could make swamp paste like that! I've always bought it from shops.
Alien, I know you may feel like you have to complete a whole quest inside of an episode (both for production and spoiler-free purposes), but I do think you could also benefit by putting a quest "down" for a bit when you're stuck, doing a side thing (or a different quest), and letting your subconscious puzzle it together in the background.
You may feel dumb in these videos, but I think they've really shown how resourceful and clever you are, so I have no worries that if you paused a quest, you would come back later with a new and helpful idea! (/gen)
Thanks for making one of my current favorite series on RUclips!
