Before this I've only ever beat obor once on my main, it was a sloppy panicked venture. With this video I confidently strode in with my hcim, got 20kc, 400k gp, and a rune kite. These guides have been instrumental in starting my hcim journey and I will always be thankful! 🙏
That’s sick bro 👌 Congratulations! Getting the kite after 20kc is good going 👍 Glad your HCIM survived too! Thanks for the feedback and the comments man it makes a huge difference 😁 BTW Did you get a hill giant club?
Yo Miguel! Double congratulations! 🎉 Unless you really wanted a Rune kite in which case keep going 👍 thanks for the comment brother and congrats again for the win 👍👍👍
I've always been f2p. Something special about becoming a high level without the member advantage makes me wanna succeed there. I really would like to be able to get the essence drop from the moss giant someday to sell for millions so I can get a bond.
To be honest I’m pretty much the same 😅 I’ve got into members but it’s so big I struggle to get to grips with all the things to do and methods to skill. I’m whey more comfortable in F2P 😁 I’d be tempted to keep the drop 😂 and just get her staff 😅😅 Anyway good luck man! I hope it drops for you! Thanks for the comment 😁👍
As a veteran of the game myself starting a free alt account, I was curious about free to play guides, who knows maybe I learn something. I love the style of video. Seems very relaxed and super mindful of newer players that will likely stumble into this video. Really great stuff. Keep it up!
Thank you Free.Spirit1! 😀😀😀Yeah F2P is definitely my happy place 😅 I'm intimidated by the scale and scope of P2P, but I'm planning on getting into it this year! Thanks again for the awesome comment!
Thank you bro I’ve been playing RuneScape on and off for the last 3 years sounds like a lot but only 7 days total play time, obor has always scared me I’ve fought him before but always felt like a mess but this really helped
Glad I could help man! 😁😁😁 Honestly I think this is definitely a game that very few ppl if any, get right first time around. Every time I fight a boss I’m on panic stations 😂😂😂 Takes at least my first 3 successful kills to calm down and concentrate 😅 So I definitely know what you mean! Don’t let it put you off and always play at your own pace and style 👌 Thanks for your feedback and comment 👍👍👍
Awesome, thank you stannisotk! I do the same fighting any boss with my HCIM lol it never gets easier 😂😂😂 Glad the guide helped you man! And thanks again for the sub and your comment! 👍
Hello Quills! Thanks for the comment 👍 glad you got sorted! Yeah it’s weird how much better protect from missiles work against him. I had the same thing ran it with both and the only time I bailed from him was using protect the melee.
Nice man I hope you get lucky and score a Rune Kite shield 🛡️ 🤞 I got one on my 25th attempt. Just make sure you don’t risk your HCIM take tele runes and if in doubt bail out! Gd luck man hope my guide gets you through 👍
That's awesome codybgaming1414! Glad my guides are helping! And also glad they have helped get you back into OSRS! 😎👍 Thanks for your comments and your feedback! 😃
By using your guide I have fought obor around 5 times and killed him 3 times which is pretty good if you think I didn't bring swordfish those two times (I have cooked just so many pizzas to level up my cooking) the only unfortunate was the one of the other 2 times we both had 1 hp without any food and i did a hit killed him and simultaneously he also managed to hit me too. So, I got a glimpse of his loot and I respawned in lumbridge. At least it wasn't his club in the loot
Ahh yeah pizzas are a good option man I’m just too lazy to cook them 😅 Easy to just go almost AFK catching swordfish. Aww man that would have sucked if you died and got the hill giant club 🥺 I always take tele runes and run if I run out of prayer or food, can’t risk my HCIM status on Obor! He is a tough fight at first if you’re around base 50… hits like a tank! I think at base 60 he’s a lot easier and the magic method works quite well as long as your prayer lasts… It’s a dark art prayer flicking I’m not the best at it 😂 Glad you managed to get some kills on him! I assume you aren’t playing as a HCIM which is why you didn’t mind going all the way to 1hp? Thank you for the comment man! 👍👍👍
Yo Y3WUN! Glad you liked the video! Yeah OSRS Wiki has already calculated the average kill value at 21,907 coins... 😅 It would have been so easy to put that in and/or work out a per hour gain... Great idea for the future though in terms of a money making video, definitely something i need to come back to! Cheers man, thanks for the comment and the feedback! 😎👍👍
As a F2P hcim, I am absolutely terrified of this fight. Gonna do 75 melees, Str Pot and anchovy/pizza swordfish combo. Gonna do it with my rune scim and rune sqr shield.
Haha! I don't blame you! I did it at melee base 60 and 40 Prayer, with an emergency teleport lined up ready to pop the second I ran out of food 😅 Don't take any chances with the HCIM! 👍
Thanks Pazuzu! Bryophyta guide is cooking in the renderer as i type this so that will be dropping next Thursday too! 👌 Thanks again for the comment! 👍👍👍
Extra tip for non-ironmen either on mobile or otherwise less confident in Prayer Flicking. If you're worried about prayer points becoming an issue, you can upgrade your rune armor to God armor versions. These are obviously GE only on F2P. If you don't care about aesthetics Armadyl equipment seems to be the most cost-effective. If you *do* care about aesthetics well... here's hoping you aren't an edgelord/don't like red. No god-blessed chainmail unfortunately, but you can try head and leg first and see how it goes.
Ahh yeah that's a fair point! I have only avoided these items due to their cost 😅 and not really being an option for ironmen. Maybe I should do a Best in Slot video 🤔🤔🤔
F2p also has the giant's plateau hillie spawn. Same drop rates aside from the steel sword is replaced with a steel scimitar. Almost nobody knows about it. Also the scimitars sell for more than the swords, no need for the brass key and virtually zero competition since almost nobody knows that f2p players have access to that area.
Ahh great shout 😅 I completely forgot that was there 😂😂😂 it’s a good spot too as 8 of them spawn 👍 Do you recon it’s the same difference or slightly faster to get to the bank from there, versus the Edgeville dungeon?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight fully kitted you're gonna burn up most of your run either way on f2p. The dungeon is a shorter run with a brass key going to GE. But you walk right past Zeke and you can sell your scims to him for HA value each run which is a plus for irons. Once you get into the mid 50s for defense, you don't really have to bring much food so you can just farm kills for hours til you fill up on runes and limps. I leave nothing behind except iron items.
Thats a great shout with Zeke and the scimmys. 👌 Like you, i try to never waste anything, especially on my HCIM. 👍 'An envoy uses what is given' as a now dead, once good Netflix sci-fi show once said... 😅
This is where I found my first Giant key. Thinking I better hold onto it and skill up before attempting Obor -- only 32 prayer so far. Thanks for the video.
If you have it, I would think that protect from melee would be the better prayer. The max hit from Obor on melee is only 22 compared to a max hit of 28 ranged attack (according to the wiki), but Obor appears to attack with melee twice as often as range.
Ahh sooo you would be right! And I thought this myself! However, he adjusts his attacks based on the prayer you use. So when you use melee he will attack with ranged more, so because he has a higher ranged max hit it’s usually better to pray ranged. You can definitely do both and both will work, but in my experience I kill him easier when praying ranged 😁👍
No problem EM! I said exactly the same as you and it took me a while to figure out why i wasn’t as successful when using protect from melee 😅 great minds think alike 😁👍 Thanks for the comment 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I wonder what happens if you alternate prayers after each attack? Hardly needed, but with only two f2p bosses I might try it out some time and see
Yeah only another 100 million plus bones needed for 99 prayer 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ RNG can be cruel man… I’d given up on the kite shield 🛡️ that was honestly pure luck 🍀 that I went back and did a few more runs… Hope the game gods smile on you man 🤞
Oi oi! Hello MusicMichaelangelo! In this case it only really depends on if fighting aggressively with lunge (which adds an invisible +3 strength levels), will increase your maximum hit. So I’d calculate your max hit using: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Maximum_melee_hit. It looks complicated but for F2P it’s not too bad, I also did a video on melee combat mechanics which goes over it too. If it won’t increase your max hit then use stab. Also if in doubt using Stab will increase your accuracy so can just use that 🤷🏻♂️ Hopefully that will help you decide 👍 Cheers for the comment brother! Stay Safe! 👍
Use what you are training atm, but especially at lower levels use accurate mode to hit it better, 1 lower max hit is better than not hitting these higher def bosses. For normal training it's different, then more strength is needed. That's why Power Amulet is also recommended instead of Strength against these bosses.
Yeah definitely agreed! I personally always prefer accuracy and all round stats versus maxing out in just a single area. 👍 Like you say training at low levels against foes with low defense you can prioritise strength but for boss etc accuracy is generally the better/easier path! 👍👍
Wow! Congratulations! Though I'm probably never going to use it i still want it for my collection log/bank horde! 😅 Just need that Rune Kite and you're golden! Good luck and Happy Holidays! 👍👍😎😎
Wouldn't it be better for the melee method to wear a rune chainbody instead of a rune platebody since it gives more def bonus to crush (obor's attack style) and also since you're praying protect from range ?
Yo Ninja_Nate! Hope you are well man! Yes definitely rune chain body is the best armour to wear against Obor! 👍 😅 Not sure If I mentioned it in the video but I meant to 🤔 the reason I don’t have it in the video is because I recorded it with my HCIM and I didn’t want to spend the money buying rune chain 😅 I’ll add it to the updates list for sure though 😁
If you are using protect from ranged (as I'd advise), The chain might be slightly better as you will mainly get melee attacks, (he changes attack based on the prayer used). However we are talking about 6 points difference in crush defence, Plate is better versus all the other damage types, so plate is probably the best bet all round imo.
I followed most of this guide except the food that I used was salmon and I used rune sword because of the stab attack even though I'm not an ironman . I barely beat obor with 5 salmon and 1 dose of strength potion left. Kinda wished that obor drops rune armor and weapons so I can sell them but I got 60 cosmic runes.
Yeah Salmon isn’t the best food for bossing… pizza or swordfish are my recommendations! 5 to spare though 👌 sounds like a good win to me! Shame you didn’t get a better drop though! 60 cosmics is a downer… 😅 thanks for the comment Ikram! Hope you get better luck next time you beat him! 👍👍👍
The rune sword is just faster so you will hit more often so you will get a higher dps out of it. You can use a long though if you want and technically you will have a higher max hit. But because it’s slower you will still have a lower average dps. Still usable though! Hope that helped! 👍😅
I have been wondering about the interrupt on Obor's attacks and whether the Rune battleaxe I got (as a drop from Obor) would do more damage faster than the rune sword. What do you think?
Hello Kiwinumber7! Cheers for your comment that is a really interesting question 🤔 On comparison of the raw stats the battleaxe on a slashing style would definitely deal more damage per hit, but the rune sword would still be faster, so would probably still deal more DPS overall, as your looking at 25 attacks per minute with the sword versus 16 with the battleaxe. 🤷🏻♂️ You can definitely use it, when I first started killing him I was using the rune long or the b’nite mace! If you give it a go let me know how you get on 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I guess the question was more about whether the interrupt matters for resetting attack speed ticks. The dps on the rune sword is no good if it is constantly interrupted/reset. But it could go both ways. I have no idea how attack ticks are reset on his stun thingy.
Yeah, I get what you mean. 🤔Looking online there's not much data on this. I think you may only lose out if the attack hits you and pushes you back. So if you are pinned you will still get to attack him every 4 ticks (you might have to keep clicking on him to hit this rate consecutively/successfully, so like every time you fall down lick on him again). I kind of feel like this is how it works, if so then sword would still be better.
I just hit 40 prayer today, and have been training ranged. Just a few more levels so can equip the dragonhide vambraces. I'm glad to know that my other stats should be good for taking on obor. I'm curious though, assuming a rune scimi, strength of 54 before the potion, amulet of power, and the extra two points of prayer from edge monastery, do you think I'll have enough prayer to keep prot missiles on the whole fight without flicking?
Yo dethkruzer! Sorry for the delay man! Been a busy few weeks trying to get ahead of the curve on the content front. 40 prayer with the amulet and the extra from the monastery might be close. But with 54 strength it’s definitely doable. How did you get on did you have to flick in the end or did you manage to tank it?
Dslayer I and both f2p bosses are my last two late game f2p things to do. Today got Obor key on my 7th giant so hopefully my luck transfers over to my bryophyta attempt lol
Yo Peanut Wars! Unfortunately that happens sometimes the RNG gods are cruel mistresses when they want to be 😅😬 hopefully you’ll get a few in a row to compensate for it! 🤞🤞🤞
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Oh I will my friend! Can’t state how much me and my friend love your content man from your soothing voice to the green colors you choose and everything !
They are members only though right? God I’m absolutely terrified of DS2 with my HCIM… it was a tough battle on league’s with all the boosts and god armour really worried I won’t have a chance as a regular HCIM…
They have the same defensive stats so, defensively there's no difference, but you do get an extra prayer bonus of +1 from the god armour. So if you can afford it the god armour has a slight prayer advantage! 👌👍
Yo jordanweaver1737! Thanks for the comment man! 🤔 erm yeah I think you can just go back up there pit wall and leave through the way you came in 😅 I’m just mega lazy and always tele out 😂👍
Yo mickael! It’s not that you can’t use ranged in F2P it’s just that Obor uses a mix of both ranged and melee to attack. So melee armour offers better defence and boosts melee attack. So you will be harder to hit, probably do more damage and you can just tank it and eat. So it’s easier to do it. If I was going to use ranged, I’d move from side to side rather than tanking him and maybe even use snare. Definitely doable but more complicated than just standing and fighting 🤷🏻♂️ What’s your exact ranged set up and technique?
@The Lumbridge Knight Hey! This was my setup using ranged on Obor: rune full helm, rune chainbody, amulet of accuracy (if you have amulet of power, that's even better), cape, green dhide chaps and vambraces, maple shortbow and adamant arrows. The food I used was lobster. My technique was the same as the one for melee: stand back against the wall and take the hits while praying protect from missile. I've found that ranged provided a much higher dps than the melee alternative (with 50 atk/str/def) which saved me from using more food. I was able to do 2 Obors in one trip at times using this technique. To me, ranged was even better than melee!
Definitely slash bro! Obor has +5 more slash def, but the scimmy is +45 slash and only +7 stab. So you will definitely be better off slashing. If you want to use stab (for ironmen) switch out for a rune sword 👍 good luck killing him 🤞 hope you get some good drops 🍀
Erm Obor has 10 more crush defence than Stab, the mace has 1 point extra Str bonus, so I think the Rune Sword is still better overall. Though its not a huge difference, so you certainly can fight him with the Mace if you want to. 👍
Nice one man! I think Obor only has one really annoying achievement (Squashing the giant), its the kill him without taking any prayer damage. Best method or rather the only practical F2P method really is to kill him using the magic method and make sure to avoid any melee hits (which is quite difficult)... Congrats though! 😎👍
Hello sikzhades2750! Just double checked and vams are fine bud, no magic penalty, but better def stats! Just for leather though, green d’hide definitely does lower magic attack.
Yo immortalxRob, it’s a plug in on the RuneLite client. Status bars I think it’s called. So once you’ve downloaded RuneLite you can use all of their plug-ins and tools really great client 👌 think the site is just RuneLite.com
Aww sorry to hear that BigGangstaBoi. Obor is still a level 106 and can hit hard, the guide will maximise your chances, but it wont guarantee beating him. I always advise taking an emergency teleport to get out if things go bad! Good luck coming back to Obor in the future!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight yeah, i fought him two times back to back. The first he hit hard and it was laggy so he got me. The second time i killed him just in time. I love your guides though and love what you’re contributing to the community keep it up!
Oh man 1 def against obor is dangerous! If you can keep out of his way and just grind him down with arrows you might be able to kill him. You definitely need to be using addy or rune arrows… 😬 let me know how you get on…
Yo John no worries at all man, always worth asking if you aren’t sure! 👍 The best answer I can give you is it depends 😂 if you aren’t a HCIM/UIM (so you can enter the Wildy and don’t mind dying), there’s a 1/64 drop chance when killing hill giants in the wilderness (the 4 in the lava maze will be the most popular). This drop rates probably not too bad to farm keys, though you are in the wildy so you could get attacked. Outside of this the drop rates 1/128, which is pretty high to regularly farm them. You can certainly stack as many up at you want, but your fate is in the hands of the random number gods. You could get 5 in an hour or equally you could get none 🤷🏻♂️ I personally usually just farm the ones in the Edgeville dungeon with my HCIM till I get about 5, usually takes about 2-3 hours 🤔 Hopefully that answers you question 👍
He's worth it if you are an Ironman and want a Rune Kite, or if you want the best Crush weapon in F2P. Outside of that members will kill him for the achievement diary tasks, but 20k average drop value isn't great I agree. 😅😅😅
I go by many names. We are legion… I have about 6 accounts these days plus a few others… if you look closely at some of my videos I don’t think the in game name is actually hidden 🤷🏻♂️
I really don’t know but I always forget they are there 😂 I think it’s because when you look at the map it kinda looks like it’s off in member… That or Jagex built a perception filter to block long term memory 🤔🤔🤔
Before this I've only ever beat obor once on my main, it was a sloppy panicked venture. With this video I confidently strode in with my hcim, got 20kc, 400k gp, and a rune kite. These guides have been instrumental in starting my hcim journey and I will always be thankful! 🙏

Cheers Ethan!
This is a Obor Guide. :)
Indeed it is! I see by your name you are a fan of the main man! 😂👍 Thanks for the comment 😁👍
First time going for a key, first kill, got the Hill Giant Club in F2P. Lucky me, haha
Haha congrats 🎉 I still need to get that drop… I don’t tend to be overly lucky 🍀 on most of my boss battles… 😅 what’s next? Bryophyta?
good video thanks. nice editing btw
Appreciate it Dankrupt! And thank you for the comment sir!! 👍👍👍
great guide, tysm mate 👌
Glad it helped DJRehab 👍👍👍 Thanks for the comment man!
Great guide for f2p!
Thanks Craigasaurus Wrecks. Love the name bro 👌, glad you liked the guide! 👍👍👍
Hey brother. Great video! For the Rune Sword, is it better to use "stab" or "lunge"? Or does it not matter?
Oi oi! Hello MusicMichaelangelo! In this case it only really depends on if fighting aggressively with lunge (which adds an invisible +3 strength levels), will increase your maximum hit. So I’d calculate your max hit using: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Maximum_melee_hit. It looks complicated but for F2P it’s not too bad, I also did a video on melee combat mechanics which goes over it too. If it won’t increase your max hit then use stab. Also if in doubt using Stab will increase your accuracy so can just use that 🤷🏻♂️ Hopefully that will help you decide 👍 Cheers for the comment brother! Stay Safe! 👍
Use what you are training atm, but especially at lower levels use accurate mode to hit it better, 1 lower max hit is better than not hitting these higher def bosses. For normal training it's different, then more strength is needed. That's why Power Amulet is also recommended instead of Strength against these bosses.
Yeah definitely agreed! I personally always prefer accuracy and all round stats versus maxing out in just a single area. 👍 Like you say training at low levels against foes with low defense you can prioritise strength but for boss etc accuracy is generally the better/easier path! 👍👍
Got the hill giant club first kill on my hcim lesgoo
Wow! Congratulations! Though I'm probably never going to use it i still want it for my collection log/bank horde! 😅 Just need that Rune Kite and you're golden! Good luck and Happy Holidays! 👍👍😎😎
Wouldn't it be better for the melee method to wear a rune chainbody instead of a rune platebody since it gives more def bonus to crush (obor's attack style) and also since you're praying protect from range ?
Yo Ninja_Nate! Hope you are well man! Yes definitely rune chain body is the best armour to wear against Obor! 👍
😅 Not sure If I mentioned it in the video but I meant to 🤔 the reason I don’t have it in the video is because I recorded it with my HCIM and I didn’t want to spend the money buying rune chain 😅 I’ll add it to the updates list for sure though 😁
@@TheLumbridgeKnight you did say it in the video this dude just didnt listen or something
best guides 👍
Cheers Z! Glad you like them!
Hey, would a tele item like Chronicle be better instead of 3 runes to cast teleport? Save inv space for more food.
Yeah you can defiantly do that! Save 2 slots for extra food! Great point! I'll add it to my updates list! Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
Do you recommend rune plate or chain body against obor
If you are using protect from ranged (as I'd advise), The chain might be slightly better as you will mainly get melee attacks, (he changes attack based on the prayer used). However we are talking about 6 points difference in crush defence, Plate is better versus all the other damage types, so plate is probably the best bet all round imo.
I followed most of this guide except the food that I used was salmon and I used rune sword because of the stab attack even though I'm not an ironman . I barely beat obor with 5 salmon and 1 dose of strength potion left. Kinda wished that obor drops rune armor and weapons so I can sell them but I got 60 cosmic runes.
Yeah Salmon isn’t the best food for bossing… pizza or swordfish are my recommendations! 5 to spare though 👌 sounds like a good win to me! Shame you didn’t get a better drop though! 60 cosmics is a downer… 😅 thanks for the comment Ikram! Hope you get better luck next time you beat him! 👍👍👍
nice vid tyvm
Thank you for the support sir! 😁👍
Pulled the club on my first kill
Haha! Very lucky! Well done! 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Can I just use stab with a rune long sword or is it still significantly better to use the rune sword?
The rune sword is just faster so you will hit more often so you will get a higher dps out of it. You can use a long though if you want and technically you will have a higher max hit. But because it’s slower you will still have a lower average dps. Still usable though! Hope that helped! 👍😅
I have been wondering about the interrupt on Obor's attacks and whether the Rune battleaxe I got (as a drop from Obor) would do more damage faster than the rune sword. What do you think?
Hello Kiwinumber7! Cheers for your comment that is a really interesting question 🤔 On comparison of the raw stats the battleaxe on a slashing style would definitely deal more damage per hit, but the rune sword would still be faster, so would probably still deal more DPS overall, as your looking at 25 attacks per minute with the sword versus 16 with the battleaxe. 🤷🏻♂️ You can definitely use it, when I first started killing him I was using the rune long or the b’nite mace! If you give it a go let me know how you get on 👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I guess the question was more about whether the interrupt matters for resetting attack speed ticks. The dps on the rune sword is no good if it is constantly interrupted/reset. But it could go both ways. I have no idea how attack ticks are reset on his stun thingy.
Yeah, I get what you mean. 🤔Looking online there's not much data on this. I think you may only lose out if the attack hits you and pushes you back. So if you are pinned you will still get to attack him every 4 ticks (you might have to keep clicking on him to hit this rate consecutively/successfully, so like every time you fall down lick on him again). I kind of feel like this is how it works, if so then sword would still be better.
I just hit 40 prayer today, and have been training ranged. Just a few more levels so can equip the dragonhide vambraces. I'm glad to know that my other stats should be good for taking on obor. I'm curious though, assuming a rune scimi, strength of 54 before the potion, amulet of power, and the extra two points of prayer from edge monastery, do you think I'll have enough prayer to keep prot missiles on the whole fight without flicking?
Just wanted to update on this. I did in fact, manage to beat Obor.
Yo dethkruzer! Sorry for the delay man! Been a busy few weeks trying to get ahead of the curve on the content front. 40 prayer with the amulet and the extra from the monastery might be close. But with 54 strength it’s definitely doable. How did you get on did you have to flick in the end or did you manage to tank it?
My combat is att: 60, def: 60. str: 51 and prayer: 48
Yo David, nice one did you beat him?
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Not Yet i've been studying for my CDL test!
I finally beat him, and he not as hard i was expecting!
Dslayer I and both f2p bosses are my last two late game f2p things to do. Today got Obor key on my 7th giant so hopefully my luck transfers over to my bryophyta attempt lol
I’m sure it will ShortCutZz! If you can handle one giant you can handle them both! Good luck! 🍀🤞 I hope you get some decent drops and plenty of keys 👍
literally fought these guys for 3 hours with no key drop 😢 got so unlucky lol 😂
Yo Peanut Wars! Unfortunately that happens sometimes the RNG gods are cruel mistresses when they want to be 😅😬 hopefully you’ll get a few in a row to compensate for it! 🤞🤞🤞
@@TheLumbridgeKnight Oh I will my friend! Can’t state how much me and my friend love your content man from your soothing voice to the green colors you choose and everything !
great guide. Killed him easily with 60 magic and 50 defence
Ahh that’s awesome man! 😁 Get any good drops? 🤞🤞🤞
@@TheLumbridgeKnight No but it was great practice for my low level Iron. Thanks again!
More than welcome 👍 Appreciate the comments 😁👍
TLK pronounces Obor differently than me. I don't say "Or-Bah" I say "Oh-Boar'
I thought I say Oh-boar... 😅😅😅
Vorkath drops a fuckton of rune kiteshields
They are members only though right? God I’m absolutely terrified of DS2 with my HCIM… it was a tough battle on league’s with all the boosts and god armour really worried I won’t have a chance as a regular HCIM…
bro I just picked up a giant key as the video ended :D
Nice man! Get a few more so you can give Obor a few goes in a row 👌👌👌 Hope you get some good drops! 👍👍👍
Would rune plate be better if it was one of the gods version?
They have the same defensive stats so, defensively there's no difference, but you do get an extra prayer bonus of +1 from the god armour. So if you can afford it the god armour has a slight prayer advantage! 👌👍
Is there a way out after you beat him other than teleporting? I am lvl 1 magic so I had to use my lvl 1 home lumbridge thing to get out.
Yo jordanweaver1737! Thanks for the comment man! 🤔 erm yeah I think you can just go back up there pit wall and leave through the way you came in 😅 I’m just mega lazy and always tele out 😂👍
Ranged is good against obor provided u have at least 60 ranged and 50 defense and wear a rune chain body. I don't understand who claims it's not good.
Yo mickael! It’s not that you can’t use ranged in F2P it’s just that Obor uses a mix of both ranged and melee to attack. So melee armour offers better defence and boosts melee attack. So you will be harder to hit, probably do more damage and you can just tank it and eat. So it’s easier to do it. If I was going to use ranged, I’d move from side to side rather than tanking him and maybe even use snare. Definitely doable but more complicated than just standing and fighting 🤷🏻♂️ What’s your exact ranged set up and technique?
@The Lumbridge Knight Hey! This was my setup using ranged on Obor: rune full helm, rune chainbody, amulet of accuracy (if you have amulet of power, that's even better), cape, green dhide chaps and vambraces, maple shortbow and adamant arrows. The food I used was lobster.
My technique was the same as the one for melee: stand back against the wall and take the hits while praying protect from missile.
I've found that ranged provided a much higher dps than the melee alternative (with 50 atk/str/def) which saved me from using more food. I was able to do 2 Obors in one trip at times using this technique. To me, ranged was even better than melee!
Can free to play not able to use the rusty key and use the ladder south west of GE?
Members only I’m afraid bro 😢
With the scimmy should you stab or slash?
Definitely slash bro! Obor has +5 more slash def, but the scimmy is +45 slash and only +7 stab. So you will definitely be better off slashing. If you want to use stab (for ironmen) switch out for a rune sword 👍 good luck killing him 🤞 hope you get some good drops 🍀
Who thinks Barronite mace is good here? Better or same as rune sword?
Erm Obor has 10 more crush defence than Stab, the mace has 1 point extra Str bonus, so I think the Rune Sword is still better overall. Though its not a huge difference, so you certainly can fight him with the Mace if you want to. 👍
I'm not a f2p but I am an Ironman and I want his law runes
Yo JollyGrapefruit! Thanks for the comment 👍 good luck getting the laws you need buddy! 🍀👍
i think they updated it, he no longer attacks every 6th tick
Erm the wiki still says 6 ticks, remember a tick is 0.6s (ish) so he should attack every 3.6s? 😅
Woot 1kc [1st attempt] and 2 novice achievements
Nice one man! I think Obor only has one really annoying achievement (Squashing the giant), its the kill him without taking any prayer damage. Best method or rather the only practical F2P method really is to kill him using the magic method and make sure to avoid any melee hits (which is quite difficult)... Congrats though! 😎👍
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks I'll cross off the other f2p boss achievements l8er want to go skilling again 😅
everything is legit...except the vambs while maging... wear leather gloves. vambs lower you magic att
Hello sikzhades2750! Just double checked and vams are fine bud, no magic penalty, but better def stats! Just for leather though, green d’hide definitely does lower magic attack.
Dude got the rune kite! F2p Im's hate you. xDD
Haha congratulations kewack9294! 🎉🎉 You going to go back for a giant club? 😅
I just did my first ever kill thanks to the help of your vid!! (I'm a f2p Im account. Haha)
That’s awesome 😁👍 maybe try Bryophyta next! You might get lucky and get her essence! 🤞
How you get your hp to show on the ui like that?
Yo immortalxRob, it’s a plug in on the RuneLite client. Status bars I think it’s called. So once you’ve downloaded RuneLite you can use all of their plug-ins and tools really great client 👌 think the site is just RuneLite.com
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks like your videos, made my first mil today lol
Congratulations man 🎉 it’s a big milestone once you get some money coming in!
Thank you for your comments and support brother! 👍👍👍
I died to Obor while using this guide..
Aww sorry to hear that BigGangstaBoi. Obor is still a level 106 and can hit hard, the guide will maximise your chances, but it wont guarantee beating him. I always advise taking an emergency teleport to get out if things go bad! Good luck coming back to Obor in the future!
@@TheLumbridgeKnight yeah, i fought him two times back to back. The first he hit hard and it was laggy so he got me. The second time i killed him just in time. I love your guides though and love what you’re contributing to the community keep it up!
Cheers BigGangstaBoi! 👍😁 Glad to hear you managed to get him in the end! I hope that death wasn’t on a hardcore ironman account! 😬😬😬
Is fire blast any better than water blast?
unless the mob has a weakness to an element then no,he uses water blast since snare and water blast uses water runes
Hello, olbor will be killed by two players or just one?
Yo Victor it’s a solo instance brother got to do it on your own. It would be cool if you could invite a friend though…
@@TheLumbridgeKnight
Oh perfect, thanks for answer me
would 70 range be enough?
Yo Jack Garcia, I recon you might be alright at that level, give it a go, but take tele runes incase you need to bail out 🤔
@@TheLumbridgeKnight thanks for the reply, I also maybe should have added I’m on a 1 def pure. I got 43 prayer too though
Oh man 1 def against obor is dangerous! If you can keep out of his way and just grind him down with arrows you might be able to kill him. You definitely need to be using addy or rune arrows… 😬 let me know how you get on…
Gj
Cheers 😁👍
I’m level 110
and I died to this boss..
😬 aww damn sorry to hear that! Obor can hit pretty high… you weren’t playing hardcore where you? 😢
Naw naw thank lord for that, hahaha
May be an obvious question but can you farm keys?
Yo John no worries at all man, always worth asking if you aren’t sure! 👍 The best answer I can give you is it depends 😂 if you aren’t a HCIM/UIM (so you can enter the Wildy and don’t mind dying), there’s a 1/64 drop chance when killing hill giants in the wilderness (the 4 in the lava maze will be the most popular). This drop rates probably not too bad to farm keys, though you are in the wildy so you could get attacked. Outside of this the drop rates 1/128, which is pretty high to regularly farm them. You can certainly stack as many up at you want, but your fate is in the hands of the random number gods. You could get 5 in an hour or equally you could get none 🤷🏻♂️ I personally usually just farm the ones in the Edgeville dungeon with my HCIM till I get about 5, usually takes about 2-3 hours 🤔 Hopefully that answers you question 👍
Are you.. Jonny Law?
Yo Gerjan91, I know a guy with a name similar to that, but that is not me I’m afraid 😅
I thought maybe you had a second RUclips channel called Jonny Law because your voice and joke delivery are so similar. Anyway, love your content!
Thanks for the feedback man 👍 Funny that I have a friend irl with almost the same name like 😂😂😂 Thanks again for your comment!
Feels like fighting this guy isn't even worth it
He's worth it if you are an Ironman and want a Rune Kite, or if you want the best Crush weapon in F2P. Outside of that members will kill him for the achievement diary tasks, but 20k average drop value isn't great I agree. 😅😅😅
Whats ur name ingame?
I go by many names. We are legion… I have about 6 accounts these days plus a few others… if you look closely at some of my videos I don’t think the in game name is actually hidden 🤷🏻♂️
How is it that NO ONE knows about the hill giants at Giants Plateau in f2p? Huge oversight
I really don’t know but I always forget they are there 😂 I think it’s because when you look at the map it kinda looks like it’s off in member… That or Jagex built a perception filter to block long term memory 🤔🤔🤔
@@TheLumbridgeKnight I appreciate you man all your videos are pure gold. Keep it up
