"Azzanadra does 9001 damage to Lucien which is reference to the internet meme "Over 9000". This internet meme is from the television show Dragon Ball Z."
I finished this quest about a day before EoC, and man, it was so sick. I loved that boss fight because it was truly difficult and epic. It felt so amazing when I finally managed to defeat it. Something tells me it would be an absolute cakewalk now .-.
kkilot 本 i heard 138 before eoc had trouble fighting those monsters before eoc now in eoc i see 155 (about combat level 110) it whas so easyy dammit jagex ;C
rachel ramires As a 138 pre-eoc that has done this quest and then did it again on my pure, I can tell you it's pretty much easy in both pre-eoc and eoc.
Eoc is enjoyable, but they REALLY need to buff quest bosses. I mean it seems like they gave everything next to no lifepoints and no real damage output. Just look at the balance elemental......used to be a difficult fight for lower levels, but now it has less hp than a jungle spider.....I just dont understand the balance or reasoning behind that.
Even now, two years later, this remains true. Pest queen used to be one of the longest quest bosses, took forever to take her down, and it was *supposed* to feel like that. She's a monstrosity after all. And now we get mortal enemies teaming up to defeat something that can be killed in under a minute. Really sad.
Yes, Lucien the sneaky bastard and at that point in time, the mightiest Mahjarrat having the stone of jas and armadyl staff in his possession. Sliske wouldn't dare challenge that Lucien.
Depends on where you entered the ritual site from, if north entrance than its the place close of below the fortress, if you enter up the rope near the cave from tale of muspah then its right in front of the rope
@xlazmlx Yes for both. If you die in the middle of any of the fights, your gravestone is at the entrance to the ritual site, where you attached the rope. Also, you have to fight that one fight from the start. But your progress is saved after every fight.
And what, pray tell, makes EoC so bad? The fact that it made combat not dull? The fact that it makes you actually take a semi-active role in combat? Is that really so terrible?
dragoniguana Well, first of all we all have our own opinions and tastes, just like me and you, I don't really like EOC, maybe you do, and I'm not judging the fact that anyone like EOC or not, secondly , I just don't like EoC ( not because of the things you said ), it's not the same anymore, I prefered Rs before, it was more original, that's it. I don't qualify Eoc as terrible, not hating it either..
dragoniguana Lets see, action bars, where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, so runescape basically turned there game into a carbon copy of every other MMO except with shittier graphics. Old rs combat may have been dull. but it was runescape. Now it's just WoWscape. That, and no-one plays minigames anymore. Now you have to join a specific FC, unlike in the past, when you could walk to clanwars and there are like 6-8 "clans" warring each other. Or Soulwars, it used to be packed too. Barbarian Assault is dead. Pest Control is dead Even castle wars is mostly dead. I bought a bond with the gp I had on my old account just to play CW and only managed to find ONE game in an entire 2 week membership. This game used to be fun, even though training is grinding. Now the only thing to do IS grind. No more fun times.
BattleDonkey Runescape is FAR from that pathetic unoriginal game you call "WoW", no matter how much it starts functioning like it. And Runescape isn't dead, there are still people playing it, including me. I'm TIRED of having people whine and complain like the ungrateful losers they are. Just accept the game for what it is. Runescape will always be Runescape
@RDino9 "Sliske" is a mahjarrat, sliske is also the traveler from the barrows story that gave them their powers and effectively made them his slaves basically.
@sosolid2kk Just something you might want to let viewers know, is that you can actually draw the ice demons away from lucien if they get trapped there like that by just running to the south east or south west corners of the fight area, it will give people a little more space to see the lucien missile coming.
Not only EoC, but all the dumb updates since they allowed gambling and didn't take enough action towards goldfarmers :( I quit in end of 2011 by the way
Yea, but the damage has basically been done already. I do play oldschool, but I miss the 2009-2010 version the most. The only people who still played in 2011 were the "hardcore" pkers and the "noxpwaste" people. Even on oldschool, it's horribly rare to meet a cool person who doesn't flame you for your methods.
@Lucifer8881 Not sure, he'll either 1 hit you or just own you I'd assume. I did attack him at 5:11, but was lucky the fight was over lol. He did say "You dare attack a god?" though. :o
i have to agree, this quest was amazing! the cutscenes were well-animated. lots of detail to the storyline, the buildup to the quest was a very fun ride! in my personal opinion this very quest was wy they created runescape! IT'S THE BEST!
I wish they would make 2011 version of Runescape playable too... Would be fun, as this is the time when I joined the game and I have always felt like it was the most fun at this point. Completing Rotm after eoc was a breeze, it didn't feel as epic as it did during the release year.
If you didnt read it properly who was on there side on attacking lucien and im pretty sure the white knights and zaros was attacking lucien which makes them on a team until they finished what has to be done dontcha know?
so lets see, will I be ok with rocktails? if I die where will my gravestone come? And if I die/ leave will it continue where I left? sure these are idiotic questions but I'd like to know if its possible.
uhhh, by the looks of the final battle you'll probably have to have 96 summon 99 def and 90+ combat stats to stay there all that time. Do you know if you tele out to restock it resets the progress?
@Lucifer8881 When you click to attack Lucien, he yells "You dare attack a god?", then he sends one of those skull bolts at you, hitting you for 400 damage. Attacked him 3 times, exactly 400 damage at each.
if you had 76 atk 74 str and 99 mage, range, 80 def, 92 summon, would it be easier to use fire surge with full virtus/chaotic? or arma storm with full virtus /chaotic
@Conkerdeath Because the Mahjarrat have to sacrifise one of their own to regain their strength. Sliske, who is a Mahjarrat, controls the barrows brothers and is helping you beat Lucien.
the quest was hard but the boss fights was super easy with drygore weapons. and there is also a pattern to lucien's skull attack so it was easy to avoid.
Can someone help me? I got to the ice demons part, beat them, and the next part didn't start. I've tried 3 times so far and pretty much what happens is Tiffy and Idrea are still fighting their titan and it's on really low hp, and Wahisietal and Lucein keep fighting but the next cutscene doesn't happen.
woooow! The best video i ever saw on whole youtube! Anyway this is my favourite quest i soooooooooooo want to do it but my skills never get high enough :(
@Rephiz WGS has harder puzzles, is longer but the final fight is easy because of the constant stat boost by the stone of Jas. This one is short with a few puzzles but the fight is hard without a guide or knowledge of what to do.
wow i just did this quest with 12 sharks range void with ruby bolts and a fire titan, (same inv from start to finish), i accidentally started the last fight or i wouldav geared but i did it anyway xD

It's a tradition to come back to this video once a year, what an amazing era that was...
Runescape in 2011 was the best imo
+Taylor McKevitt Yeah, except for the fact that it was polluted by bots, rwt and dicing. Those 3 things severely fucked up an otherwise great era.
+RSmatthewdj9 but now it's filled with jagex-supported RWT and its lost all originality that it had in previous versions

Vinny0942 Yep
***** not even close
wow....i miss 2011 runescape.
I miss this Runescape...

After eoc made this and nomads a joke sadly
2018 still here, best video by far and music was amazing
Soooo good memories, this is why I play Runescape!

As a 138 pre-eoc that has done this quest and then did it again on my pure, I can tell you it's pretty much easy in both pre-eoc and eoc.
i love how your pac yak just chills there during this epic fight lmao.
praise the Zarosian mahjarrat for defeating lucien
I always come back to this video to relive the hype
Coming back to this video in 2020 makes me Rs2 much more. Rs3 is fun for pvm, but we won't ever get this feeling again.
Come to World 115 and play like it's 2011
The game peaked in 2011 I miss it so bad :(
Join me on World 115 and play like it's still 2011

Arrav part always gets me. Old zombified defender of Varrock holding off the main character and the barrows brothers all at once.
probably the greatest quest ever! and still number 1 in my books
@J4mbroz You can actually click to tele out of the zone during the text, but you would have to tele back and forth to bank.
I love this video for that exta reason it shows how awesome the old void was
I love how all the barrows brothers are on your side! that's so badass!
@mrsilvid That old man walking around digging at barrows is the mahjarrat who controls the barrow brothers and summons them to his aid in battle.
@MasterCommentator I didn't but friends did xD Lets just say they ended up with a gravestone at Ghorrock.
@iLomideRS he isnt attacking you, that shadow spell is just randomly firing at you between fighting others
i have to agree, this quest was amazing! the cutscenes were well-animated. lots of detail to the storyline, the buildup to the quest was a very fun ride!
in my personal opinion this very quest was wy they created runescape!
IT'S THE BEST!
@Xzerkoidx yes, but a firecape/soul wars cape offers even better mage defence with some additional pray/strength?
@KSscape 110k agility exp, three 80k lamps ability to use new barrows equipment and the rest im not sure.
@sosolid2kk Seirously what does happen?
Does he say "You dare attack a god?!" then one hit you, or something else?
I wish they would make 2011 version of Runescape playable too... Would be fun, as this is the time when I joined the game and I have always felt like it was the most fun at this point. Completing Rotm after eoc was a breeze, it didn't feel as epic as it did during the release year.

Come to World 115 and play like it's 2011
On the luring Arrav part, make sure to dismiss your familiar because he might follow you then he'll stop and get back to fighting the barrows bros.
@TreeBearProductions Based on how much the barrows brothers are in this video, why did you pick that exact moment?
Nice vid man, loving the music in the vid O_O
@MeowImHh hmm if i remember it right, it was 255 in While Guthix Sleeps but its lower that 200 in this quest :S. Around 150?
@MeAndMyKittens no if you need to bank you can tele and it starts at the cutscene you left off :)
this quest taken like 8hrs so far lmfao...just now on armoured zombies...thanks sosolid
If you didnt read it properly who was on there side on attacking lucien and im pretty sure the white knights and zaros was attacking lucien which makes them on a team until they finished what has to be done dontcha know?

Cant wait to do this quest, I got 3 left till quest cape and I might save this for last, seems the coolest and best way to end it
@RsAnika He doesn't use any of that. your stats are boosted for the battle.

When you click to attack Lucien, he yells "You dare attack a god?", then he sends one of those skull bolts at you, hitting you for 400 damage. Attacked him 3 times, exactly 400 damage at each.
Awesome music! Pathfinder is great :D Epic as hell!
Yeah, I did the same. This quest is definitely an epic way to get the cape.
if you had 76 atk 74 str and 99 mage, range, 80 def, 92 summon, would it be easier to use fire surge with full virtus/chaotic? or arma storm with full virtus /chaotic
music really fits it! good job on music bro!
Watched this many times great music and epic boss fight
Could you tell us what food you used? I was thinking of rocktails and super restores (for prayer) Coz as you know sarabrews lower ur stats.
@MasterCommentator
If you tired to attack him then you were told that you weren't able to as someone else was holding him off.
I stopped playing runescape a long time ago however, I still watch your video because good editing skills will even make such a boring game exciting!
This was the most epic fight I have witnessed.
@Conkerdeath Because the Mahjarrat have to sacrifise one of their own to regain their strength. Sliske, who is a Mahjarrat, controls the barrows brothers and is helping you beat Lucien.
@MrMrHeX i dont think its the nomad just a re-used sprite :P then again i havent done the quest so i could be wrong
the quest was hard but the boss fights was super easy with drygore weapons. and there is also a pattern to lucien's skull attack so it was easy to avoid.
My favorite video of all time.
Seeing the Barrows brother fighting Arrav was just cool
@shadow8167 he touched the stone it gives you a boost in while guthix sleeps it gives u a str att and def of 255
Best quest ever! Nothing beats this!

Love the whole runescape story lines some funny, some got tones of fights, some give great rewards
i loved this boss fight, wish i could go through it again
@Conkerdeath One of the good Zaro's followers casted a spell on the brothers, turning them into the ghosts they are. He summoned them to help.
Thanks for the awesome vid :D
