The Unguided Fremennik Trials | Unguided #20

- this one almost broke me...
Welcome back to Unguided, where I'm trying to complete every quest in old school runescape without using a guide, wiki or plugins. I'll only be using my limited knowledge and in-game learnings. Full rules below.
RULES
- No use of OSRS wiki (or any equivalent) for anything - this includes looking up item spawns, quest guides, boss guides, anything
- No use of any other quest helper sites
- No use of quest helper plugin
CAVEATS
- I love OSRS UA-cam, I might inadvertently learn something I don't know by watching my favourite content creators, but I'm not going to stop watching them so that's just a risk I'm willing to take + it's unlikely going to be relevant for me
- I may use some QoL plugins, but only a few. Loot tracker to prove grinds, ground items so I don't miss drops and left click to use bones. Nothing that will give me info I didn't previously have
- I'm going to try and avoid any spoiler comments. If you can, please try not to help me if there's an episode where I'm stuck on something. I appreciate the sentiment but telling me an item spawn or quest step could spoil the fun :)

"I need to distract this guy, butter up the drainpipe should do it"
DUDE the way you solved the swensen puzzle was AWESOME i could feel your excitement
I used the guide and never noticed his name was the solution. I'm ashamed to say my jaw dropped
This was a puzzle I did without guides and it took me much longer. I had all the rooms drawn out and mapped out where each portal went to. Never knew about the name either.
I think old RS quests really relied on the context of new quests/areas, and that that area used to be blocked off by a broken bridge pre-Trials. So the councilman fixed it, and they assumed you'd talk to him.
No way! I genuinely never knew that Relleka was like an expansion area. I noticed the councilman saying they fixed the bridge but thought that was just some lore… didn’t realise there was a time it was actually broken. So interesting, thanks for the comment!
@@AlienFoodage I wish I could link you to the update history for this quest, but it basically says "we fixed the bridge"
@@TheRileyg98 Back in the day update blogs were literally like "Adjusted drop rates, added some new dragons to this location. Oh yeah, and we added Construction as a skill. Have fun"
@@StormKidProductions oh absolutely, but when they described the fremmy quest it actually said "the council workman has fixed the bridge, go have a look"
He literally never walks over the bridge he is like the only guy to west of seers to get there
‘Jesus Christ just neckin’ it straight out of the keg’
Im dying
Gotta remember these old quests were made by delinquent uni graduates in the early 2000s 😂
Cause you are a much better person ?😅
In many cases, not even graduates. Jagex had an Intern Program for a long time in the early 2000's. They'd hire people still in school and would actually let them design quests. Desert Treasure 1 was made by one of these interns whose internship ended in the middle of making the quest, that's why it feels so disjointed and cobbled together - it literally was by an actual Jmod who salvaged what work was done and slapped something together.
@@howardsz1502what? Lol
Not gonna lie, I gave this series a shot a few months back and I wasn't totally sold on it. Since then you've managed to really hone the concept and find the perfect pace for the narration/editing. I loved watching you solve all these bizarre puzzles that I've thought to myself many times "how would anyone figure this out?" Congrats on a great video and I hope you continue to gain traction with your channel!
Appreciate the support brother!
I love seeing all these other "snowflake" account content creators on each other's videos. What a cool community this is.
Swensen: The world will remember my name!
Alien: "Hmm, the Navigator..." 🤔🤔🤔
"I could put something in there to distract him... LIKE A POTATO"
Your patience is admirable and these videos are super addicting. Cant wait for the next one
Glad you’re enjoying, thanks a lot!
I love the fact you include the music in the background. Really completes the OSRS aesthetic for me :)
If you get stuck you really should just take a break in whatever way, personally I get better solutions when I'm not directly working on a problem I have. The subconsciousness is a powerful tool!
100%, whenever I take time away I often come back and view something in a different way. There were quite a few break points in this episode but it’s not too clear when edited together… the swensen maze for example, I slept on that before getting lucky and talking to him again to get through it
It's because your brain is still subconciously working on it. Most notably, it tries to correlate past knowledge with the new knowledge gained. That's why when you're stuck in a rabbit hole, taking a break might get you out because you'll use your common sense again rather than hyperfocusing on some details.
I love that your default assumption when stuck is to create bombs. Amazing series so far!
Except when he needed a bomb, and he made cream and cheese. Hilarious dichotomy after the underground pass video
Something about the way you said "I was making cheese" at the end in an exasperated way has me absolutely dying. Got referred to your series by Josh Isn't, it's great, keep it up.
These videos really put into perspective both how wonderful and how absurd runescape quests are. Love them, keep it up!
the amount of satisfaction and accomplishment i get from watching you actually solving these quests is on par with watching limpwurt's extreme chunk series. I could never have the patience or self control to not look something up, when it's so so easy to just google it once. Also i feel like this is truly The most nostalgic series, having to run around like an idiot because you didn't take a fucking tinderbox with you, or getting stuck on quests and just never completing them. Truly the childhood experience.
Don't know if you'll come back to these comments, but just want to reassure you that i don't think there's anything wrong with asking players in game for advice if you're stuck on a quest as a last resort. In the old pre-wiki, pre-social-media days that's how players would get help if they were stuck, so i think it's still easily within the premise of this account.
Love this series, it's the most i've been invested in an account since Swampletics!
I do find it pretty funny that he says hes clicking on random NPCs and talking to them here and there moving around and thats how they found the Poison Seller but then not talk to the actual NPC they needed to talk to till the very end that they have to pass by every single time going from Camelot to Rellekka.
I know that pain so well from other games.
Your revelation about the navigator truly blew my mind. When I did this quest unguided myself I was only able to figure out that if I ended up in a room with a dark floor, I had probably wandered off-track, so I would restart and brute force my way through until I found a route of all light-floored rooms.
Also loved seeing that your descent into madness regarding the drinking contest and the drainpipe mirrored my own so similarly, right down to the clay logic and the desperation cheese.
Best OSRS series alongside By Release! Found your channel yesterday with the recent short you made and binge watched all your videos from scratch since last night. Subscribed! Looking forward to the future.
Thank you for the kind words!
Fun fact, Askeladden is actually a famous fairy tale character in Norwegian folklore. His name directly translated is Ashlad, as "Aske" is ash in Norwegian, and ladden is an old name for a runt.
Well done on figuring out the Fremennik Trials by yourself, my uncle helped me when I first did it waaay back in the day. I agree that the poison salesman and the council workman are so random, placed far outside the town itself when the rest of the trials are inside (apart from maybe Skulgrimen's).
super glad you didn't seek advise on what to do with the quest, made this very entertaining!
So glad to see another entry on this series! Been waiting since i already watched every single video. Love this series keep up the great work!
Thank you! Means a lot
Its insane how far away some of that shit is, and how just one sentence of knowledge could have saved you hours and hours of work.
Great job man, what you're doing is amazing.
I am LOVING this series. Such a cool perspective of the game, and your pacing, editing etc are all incredible.
I just started a UIM where I can't unlock a chunk until an NPC tells me about something in it (because the concept of normal chunk accounts are way too much playtime for me), and I feel like a tenet of that account that is shared with this one, is literally talk to every NPC you walk by, and fully exhaust all their options. 🤣🤣 Keep up the amazing work man!
Amazing effort. Commend your patience and perseverance. I guess the only saving grace for the explosive and poison is at least Jagex still kept everything needed for the quest somewhat nearby and not way across the map lol
I love the perseverance, your really toughing it out but I definitely think you can ask people locally in game when you get 100% stuck and it will not break the immersion. Definitely my favourite series by far! Can't wait to catch one of your live streams!!! Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you! That means a lot!!
Really enjoy your commentary. Glad to see you growing quickly. GL in the future king!
Your videos are like a addictive substance always itching to watch the next one sometimes watch multiple time haha love your vids!
Haha thank you! Really appreciate the support
Yessss finally another episode honestly these videos are helping me through a tough time right now so thank you so much for the amazing amazing content! Keep it up!
Wow, this really means so much. I’m so glad the videos can bring you some joy at a tough time. I hope you’re doing good man, tough times are always temporary, you got this!
Fallen massive behind on this series but catching up slowly, absolutely love the work keep it up!
Found you through your short about the cherry bomb and just finished watching every episode, awesome series! I can't wait to see more
Thanks man! I appreciate the support
I love this series and the way that you solve these puzzles is great. Every time I see a new video on this channel it makes my whole day. You're a legend dude
Thank you
This is my absolute favorite series on youtube. The charm, and sincerity make it truly one of a kind.
Just caught up to your series, it's great to watch! I always try to solve new quests myself when they come out and it really gets you into the lore. I think older quests are harder to solve unguided, I feel like they put in more hints in the game with newer ones.
Stumped by your channel today, bingewatched the whole series. You've done an amazing job and you've earned yourself a like + a subscribe! Can't wait to see even more 🙌
Loving the series.
I remember doing this quest with a guide and wondering how anyone would figure it out without, turns out with a lot of patience lol.
Great work mate.
You know why the poison salesman find isnt sus? Cause you then proceeded to spend 30 minutes trying to butter up a pipe
This is such a great series. It has inspired me to work on qpc on my ironman without wiki and I am having an absolute blast. Keep up the great work!
Thank you and good luck out there!!
Glad i found this series man, really really enjoying it! Cant wait for the next one!
Oh and as far as getting stuck on stuff goes, maybe allow yourself like 20 seconds of time on the wiki or one question (and their answer) from a stranger in exchange for grinding out 10 levels or something. Still a steep price for something that potentially won't help anyway. Itd be a good way to keep yourself from wanting to resort to the wiki every time your stuck, especially the further you progress. Whatever you decide to do I'm here for it!
I'm binging this series and I think this episode is like the 10th time you've had the idea of blowing things up to cause a distraction.
The red herring being a red herring, was indeed, A RED HERRING!
SnowmenMelt absolute chad asking for ammonites in maxed gear :') Must have recognized the man
"Just necking it straight outta the keg" made me laugh man. I really think this is what makes the serious do damn good - the side comments as you go through the quest (also the editing, when you zoomed in to the missing monkey when you teleported last vid).
i just discoverd your channel, bingewatch timeeeeee. Sick how you figured out Swensen. Never not used guides :p Goodluck
18:18 it's time. It's always time. I don't have to check if I guessed right or try to decipher the first part of the riddle, like 50% of all those riddles ever are answered with "time" (or "day" or some other time-related crap) and crushing mountains and ending civilisations just makes it more obvious.
edit: ok, I watched further, you got it the same way on the second look xD
btw I haven't been commenting yet because the videos are old (maybe on the first episode?), but I've been binging this series, it's awesome and you're awesome.
Also, solving Swensen's riddle at about similar moment as you was satisfying, it was probably much more satisfying for you! I also don't know if I would get it so fast if you didn't focus on him being a navigator. Good stuff, you also got most previous quest puzzles faster than I probably would've, even when you showed all the hints.
Can't wait to see how you figure out more ridiculous quests like this one; I stood up and cheered when you finally talked to the guy by the bridge :D
Here's my non-spoiler things to know list thing i'm doing again
I liked your Stream. Even if we couldn't interact with you, it was still nice live watching you try to complete a quest. Half the reason people are here is because of the struggle. And the live stream is a LIVE event watching you struggle. So keep them going, even if there is no chat to interact with.
As far as I know, the double crate being separate objects to search? not a thing. It's just one searchable object.
A reminder yet again from me and the merchant task! :P
The game really requires you to talk to EVERYONE in the area. I know you said you THOUGHT you talked with the sailor...but yeah, Be systematic about it. It happens alot. Like with the bridge builder!
I REALLY had no idea how you would get the poison salesman and bridge builder. That as far as I know is about the most "out of area" random persons you need to talk to in a quest. The bridge worker references the poison salesman at least...but does the builder even count as in the area? Really? Maybe there are others, but I think he is the most out of the way crucial guy in a quest. The only redeeming thing is at least you need to use the bank a lot and there is only the one in Seers village. so the quest forces you to run past him...but still.
Also. I DID mention the drinking contest was out there. It wasn't straight forward at all.
I did find it amusing that you were thinking aloud how to distract him with the drainpipe and you mentioned explosives so quickly. Amazing how quickly people pick up on the idea of explosions for cheating a drinking game.
Since this is a British game. That's clearly a reference to the classic "joke" of cherry bombs in the waterpipes. And using it to cheat in a drinking contest no less!
So perhaps it would be easier to figure out if you were right proper bri'ish, now. yeah?
In the end though. WELL DONE in getting it done without even needing a small crutch. Ya did it!
Yeah that council worker was super rough. Genuinely a complete fluke after hours of running around… really hoping there’s not too many like that in the future. Appreciate the support as always!
Amazing series I love how you set goals off vibes and nostalgia, been binging the past week and I need to slow down I don’t wanna get caught up😂
I caught all up the the series and have been loving it so far, I'm not sure if I should talk about an area that is right next to the underground pass instance... It's an area that you go to only accessible if you're on a specific slayer task so it was very interesting for me to be right next to the quest area for the underground pass. I haven't done it yet on my main since I don't play it for hours on end. All in all great series and keep it up.
When you mentioned that One Small Favour and the Merchant Trial are similar, I pointed at the screen. It's a trope I'm quite familiar with and pleased you noticed, usually called a Chain of Deals. It mimics a reality of human life (the infamous Silk Road is not generally silk going straight from china to europe, but rather changing hands as a valuable and useful good many times going west). Chains of Deals are always a very strung out hassle as getting to the 'head' of the chain is an uphill climb, but they end on an extremely satisfying collapsing of all the relevant parts in one go when you do finally get that head.
I was not expecting a crossover with kpop on this series. lmfao. Also spat out my drink when you rightclicked and mentioned "LOONAstan"
This series is my crack i cant stop binging.
I thought it was funny how you knew the definition of "red herring" then intentionally ignored the item as a result. That's some great "adult" humour from Jagex that went right over my head as a kid. I had no idea what a red herring was back then, so it was harder to get stuck on something like that.
I've binged most of the series in the last day, and I love it, and I especially love that when you get stuck you just resort to violence "What do I do with this lyre, chuck it at his head?"
Haha I wonder what that says about me 😅 Appreciate the support, glad you’re enjoying!
I was so curious about how you were going to find the bomb. I'm honestly impressed! Persistence seems to be key, but still. No indication that you needed to go to seer's. Good stuff :D
My man will never be broke
lol this comment was meant to be on a mr no sleep video,
gl on the grind
Loving this series, cannot wait for more. We also got the same voice which is cool.
I lost the will to live doing this with quest helper you are a true legend
Wow that was absurd! Some of these quests really just give no hints huh
AYY the return of the unguided king.
Had to tell everyone about you; need more lore bros out there!
Congrats on the 5k subs man!
Thanks for spreading the word! Appreciate it
yes! love this series so much
was terrified for you during the bucket volume bit
"This game just expects me to put cloth in a bottle of wine and make a molotov cocktail" lmao
Im laughing so hard seeing you figuring out which tree it was. This is amazing content, the way osrs was meant to be played!
Awesome series so relaxing to watch
You're an absolute legend. Noticing "Swensen" as the solution leaves me in awe.
really? these quests were made for tweens
easy sub from me, keep it up bro!
I paused watching this series to do Fremmenik Trials myself, and I am now incredibly glad that I talked to the bridge constructor on my way to Rellekka because I was curious to why he was hanging around in the middle of nowhere.
Edit: another note; I can't help but feel like there maybe a pseudo-intended order to doing the tasks as the Merchant one requires you to talk with all of the Council Members (even the ones that don't have tasks) to complete it. The Merchant was the last one I did so it was quite easy for me to figure out who to talk to for the next step.
The puzzles remind me of the puzzle i make for dnd i always seem to make it too complicated. At least my party have me to guide them when they're running into a brick wall
I watched the first stream of this and rather enjoyed it. I agree with feldamar that even without chat, it was still fun to watch the process.
I have been enjoying this series very much. When getting my quest cape, i tried to do some quests without help myself and man, I do not have the patience haha.
I think maybe finding 1 or 2 people who really know the quests who, when you get very desperate, can give a nudge in the right direction. I think that would be amicable for the future, like with the drinking match distraction, a hint could be "Are you sure you talked to everyone?" and that could lead to you talking to the bridge guy. I don't know, just my thoughts on how to keep your sanity and keep the series going in the long run. :)
Thanks for the feedback
Love these
Loving this series
brilliant idea, you're going to be huge
I found the crabs!
Haha
AHH! The puzzle room at 20:43, I remember struggling on that for like 2 hours as a kid and never actually solving it but now that I'm an adult it seems so obvious!
Moral of the story, talk to every NPC that you can
I had the bucket/jug riddle on my previous job interview and I had to resort to going through all possible moves to find the answer. It's easy when you know the answer, but hard when you don't.
edit: hahaha ok that's hilarious that it was a red herring. I love OSRS's quests, they can be annoying but definitely have their comedic moments.
Just started binging this series and I can't imagine what you would've done If you didn't have a raw shark. If only.
Oh good, I was worried you were replacing this video with your streams.
Definitely not! The episodes are the main priority :)
@@AlienFoodage Glad to hear it, I did want to watch but they're so long finding the time is hard.
Yeah totally appreciate that, and it’s a lot of stuff I’d usually speed up which isn’t always the most interesting 😅
Having not playing runescape since eoc was released, this is all ‘new’ to me despite doing the quests back in the day. Crazy how much the brain forgets on things like this.
I’ve never played members rs. Really enjoying the series though. Keep it up
Thank you!
Love how you default to murder and mayhem whenever you're stuck. LOL
I love how fucking baffled you are all the time. Some of these quests are so dumb, I love it.
The Seer's puzzle is just an appetizer for the total headscratcher that is the puzzle in Recruitment Drive. Either way, congrats, Doklah!
..also I had no idea Swensen's name was the solution, I just tried every pattern in existence as a kid lmao
Oo I look forward to that. Haha yeah I was worrying that’s what I’d have to do
"what if I could use the wine trader to make a molotov" XDDDDDD
2 boxes stacked on top of eachother is 1 entity.
Dammn now I know! Ta
I am a programmer in games myself and I think when you right click you would get 2 options even when the objects has the same name. When they are 2 seperate entity's
Stone soup definitely a British dish
i fucking love this series, keep it up!
This was the quest that 14-15 year old me made me start using guides. Definitely don't feel bad about it after this episode
You must have walked past that guy a thousand times XDD
19:52 they're one entity. If they were two you would see two options on the action menu
I had an anyrism from Swensens maze
Doing this quest without a guide would break me lmfao
I think its fine to ask for help or just move on - keep in mind some of these quests were made more than 12 years ago, and aren't necissarily straightforward in ways (the bridge guy for example), when i got the quest cape for the first time, i was frustrated by how you had to 'use' items on npcs rather than just talking to them with the item in your inventory. There are just a shit ton of things within quests and stuff that just throw you off and just spend hours doing nothing and they havent been updated EVER .i guess just preventing yourself from going absolutely bonkers, i think moving on or even just getting a hint could help
LOONAstan? never though i'd see a kpop and runescape crossover
Glad I wasn't the only one that had this exact same thought
0:24 Fighter torso was a bigger hassle to get than fire cape, at least for me. I hate team projects :(
I have a strange relationship with OSRS in general, i strongly dislike questing and multiplayer activities(multiplayer quests are the worst, thankfully there are only a couple of those). But i like grinding for skills, solo bosses and some wildy chicanery every now and then.
I trust your integrity, but damn was it funny how you said you noticed the Poison salesman by randomly clicking around, but completely ignored the workman for all those trips up
Im convinced youre playing dumb to stretch a bit at times but it keeps up the entertainment value so i get it😂
