ERRATUM: - I said "face your camera west" and then looked east. Either way works but east lets you actually see the HAM. - When displaying pathing tiles for the HAM, I marked an impathable tile.

twitter: @qhp discord: qhpShadow ONLY Abyssal Sire (2024)qhp2023-05-15 | UPDATE 4/30/2025: Sire has been reworked and many of his mechanics that made these optimizations effective have been removed or simplified. This method still works, but could definitely use some tweaks to be brought up to date with his current mechanics. Since I have finished the log, I leave the task of re-optimizing to the rest of the gamers!
I used to hate Sire… now I'm loving every task. Bank the switches, crack open a cold one, and pull up to 40 KPH only using a Shadow.
GEAR UPDATES: - Wear *Magus ring* (instead of Lightbearer). With it, you gain considerable boss DPS and now have a 92% chance of one-downing the vents (up from 89%). - Also bring a *Blood ancient sceptre* for any blood barraging. Keep bringing Eldritch or Accursed for its respective special attack. - *Ancestral robes* are still preferred over Virtus robes. But if you are having survivability issues, use *Virtus robes* instead for their slightly higher crush defence and bigger blood barrages.
Thanks to: - Momo Flip for sharing his Sire method, which was the base for this: youtube.com/watch?v=Ns2QKfYBA5c - Iron Gear discord, especially Opiez, for consultation: discord.gg/irongear - allcaps, Respxcted, Vanskid, and YewEssBee for ideas and testing - 2xr, Kyle’s Toast, bcguppy, Cook, Poenari, and Port Khazard for the sweet dms 😳Easiest Phantom Muspah Step-Back Guideqhp2023-01-30 | Feet: up. Seat: reclined. Brain: off. Yep, it's Muspah time. This is a method to very easily avoid Muspah's melee hits without freezing or using stamina. No counting, off-ticking, nothing weird nor hard. You just need RuneLite and a 5 tick weapon--like a crossbow, Twisted Bow, or Tumeken's Shadow--to do this method.
Huge thanks to Skretzo for Radius Markers, which I have used and abused for so many different applications. You are a legend! Thanks to Sido for his blessing and various advice about Muspah mechanics. A final shoutout to September for the sick content; I had something *actually* cool cooked up for a PvM mechanics video but in the intervening year Jagex has decided to remove the most interesting applications of it from the game... oops.
[Chapters] 0:00 Introduction 0:46 Gear Setup 1:17 Client Setup 1:37 The Core Mechanic 2:13 Simple Tips 3:35 Advanced Tips 4:27 Closing ThoughtsNew Elite Clue Meta: Urium Shade Cremations (2.3 elites/hr)qhp2021-03-12 | Urium Shade Cremations are the best option for mains to get Elite Clues fast. It's super fast, while being profitable, high xp/hr, and easy. You can front-load the hard work to "bank" the clues on your own time, and then stream lightning fast clue content for your viewers or friends.
UPDATES: - Do NOT use Ring of Wealth if you want elites! The drop-rate is not severely nerfed, but it is worse. Use your normal clue ring (probably a Slayer ring), a banking ring, or nothing at all. - Elite rates confirmed and buffed with CAs. - Torva and Ultor mean that a max melee setup with rapier/mace/saeldor is slightly better than DH bombing. Remember to use salve! - Despawn timers increased on keys, no need to collect early when doing even the slowest cremation methods. - Automatically adding material to pyre (by simply left clicking it) was made possible, but is strictly slower. Do not do unless taking it insanely easy. - Check out Callisto masses for a new fast elite clue method! Roughly tied with cremations but significantly more chill if you have a team.
ERRATUM: - Ironman clues/hr are closer to 0.65, not 0.75. Ironman data included in spreadsheet above. - Venenatis (Gear discord inaccuracy) and Solo Lava Dragon (my mistake) rates are better than displayed on graph (still doesn't compete with this). Check spreadsheet above for a new graph and new figures.

Huge thanks to: - bcguppy for cluing me in about this dropping elites, being the driving force in my interest in the method, and helping me push it to the absolute limit. - CookMePlox for being very gracious with his time, knowledge, and drop-rates. Not sure why you gave me the time of day but I am very appreciative for all your help. - Dodokipje for being the first guinea pig for this method and logging many hours at the cremation stations in the name of drop-rate science. Sorry you went drier than I had initially projected for this method :(

I miss this game a lot. There aren't many phr33ky casted Legacy games, and this is one of my favorites, so this video is special to me.
I really miss the game mode, and prefer it to the "current" TR2 setup its got going on. This feels much more action packed and fun, with small engagements everywhere.

The other team was a 6-stack that left after the game was over. I don't know why people run away from good games, and challenges. I can play them all day.
As a rule of thumb, we never use burn cards. Better to practice without them.Demeter: The fastest, but most basic route to B from C spawnqhp2014-03-28 | Important #tips below:
I struggle to call this a "route" because it only involves 1 wall run and then just bunnyhopping, but I think this is the fastest way to getting there from this spawn. It also helps if you aren't blocked by teammates when you're trying to set up your wallrun.
This is more just for people to understand how easy it is to gain superspeeds in this game. 1 walljump, and then decent bunnyhopping is all it takes to be twice as fast as on-foot people going the same way (watch my radar for teammates following me).
To note:
+ The fastest speeds are gained after jumping off of a wall. + Bunnyhopping does not require A/D strafing as it did in other Source Engine games. Just look where you want to go and hold W while jumping, or WASD in the direction you want to go. + This bunnyhopping is far from perfect, but I still maintained basically all of my speed until I had to change direction. + The best way to change direction while bunnyhopping is to either wallrun on a surface parallel to where you want to go, or to redirect yourself with your double jump. + Before mastering bunnyhopping, if you are having issues with jumping consistently, err on the side of jumping too early. If you miss the jump, at least you continue your momentum because of the doublejump mechanic, giving you another chance on the next jump.
I will probably make a whole series of movement videos for this game, as the more complex mechanics aren't exactly well explained, and I feel as if I have a good grasp on what the community collectively knows.LTS is really boringqhp2014-03-28 | But this was fun to do.
The last two rounds were real Chinese Titanfall: hyper-defensive play and both rounds had less than 5 deaths, with outcomes determined by damage and titan count alone, all time-burners. This time, we tried something different.Demeter: Point C fast window entranceqhp2014-03-28 | Wall jump, double jump, crouch jump and continue crouching to pull this off. Very easy, and will get the drop on enemies expecting you to either slowly enter through the window or quickly enter through the doors.
To be used as a transition from basically anywhere else on the map, especially point B. Very easy to hit, and very reminiscent of some CS:S crouch bhop maneuvers (I'm thinking Train and Fire).Titanfall: Being clutch and stuffqhp2014-03-24 | cap flag, snipe man, snipe man, autopistol carrier, return for cap
