Topics covered

Tree Gnome Village

  • (0:00) Gnomonkey's goal for the episode is to complete Tree Gnome Village, which gives 11,450 Attack experience and his best-in-slot amulet and also unlocks spirit trees to save time running resources.
  • (0:37) In the quest the general wants six logs for his army and then wants the ballistas fixed; Gnomonkey talks to gnomes to narrow down coordinates and then has to guess where to fire.
  • (1:06) During the part of the quest where the player climbs in to retrieve items, Gnomonkey discovers the player gets stunlocked for five attacks, leaving him on 1 health the first time.
  • (5:02) Gnomonkey finds that grabbing the orb from the chest makes the gnomes no longer stand by him and sets him back, so he just grabs his items and leaves; he returns the king's orb, then has to kill the Khazard Warlord to get the two orbs back.
  • (9:40) Completing the quest brought Gnomonkey right up to level 28 Attack and he receives the gnome amulet.
  • (9:40) The gnome amulet is Gnomonkey's best-in-slot amulet on the account and has decent defence bonuses.

Khazard Warlord

  • (5:58) Gnomonkey notes the Khazard Warlord is very high-leveled and that normally one would use magic, but he has little access to runes on this account so he uses Ranged with bronze arrows.
  • (7:22) Gnomonkey's first attempt with about level 8 Ranged took about 45 minutes to get the Warlord to half health before he gave up; the Warlord does not despawn so he can keep shooting for a long time.
  • (8:22) After a point the Warlord retreats when attacked, but he retreats to a corner where he is stuck, so Gnomonkey can keep shooting him from range.
  • (8:52) On the final attempt at level 22 Ranged with 467 bronze arrows and flicking Sharp Eye, Gnomonkey killed the Khazard Warlord in about 25 minutes.

Gnome and Monkey locked Ironman

  • (0:00) Episode 2 of the gnome and monkey only Ironman series covers the Tree Gnome Village quest and the Khazard Warlord.
  • (2:05) After dying to the quest part, the minigame teleport to Castle Wars needs 20 minutes to recharge, so Gnomonkey must run back by foot to the Gnome Stronghold for food; he notes he forgot he has to walk past White Wolf Mountain.
  • (4:00) With no food in the bank, Gnomonkey picks up swamp toads for food and has about 43 minutes left on his grave timer when retrying.
  • (5:02) Gnomonkey eats the kebab before the part where he is hit very low and uses Thick Skin, which lets him retrieve his items on the retry.
  • (7:00) About seven hours of footage in the episode were corrupted, so Gnomonkey summarises that he killed hill giants and hobgoblins and obtained an iron kite shield, a steel longsword, an iron full helm and some runes.
  • (10:19) Gnomonkey notes he still needs the Grand Tree quest to use the other spirit trees, but expects it to be a while because the black demon will be hard.

Ranged

  • (6:26) Gnomonkey finds a wizard hat from goblins that is a straight upgrade for his head slot.
  • (6:54) Gnomonkey buys a bow from his weapons dealer Gullock and has 140 bronze arrows for Ranged training, finding a safe spot where he can shoot through a small section of gate.
  • (7:55) A merchant in the Tree Gnome Village sells 30 bronze arrows at a time, so Gnomonkey hops worlds and buys all 30 repeatedly, reaching 467 arrows.
  • (8:52) Gnomonkey reaches level 22 Ranged before the final Warlord kill.

Spirit tree

  • (9:40) Gnomonkey uses the spirit tree for the first time after the quest, and says it saves about a two and a half minute walk each way.
