Topics covered
Chambers of Xeric Challenge Mode
- (0:00) The Chambers of Xeric Challenge Mode solo world record is 26:38, held by rot salad, per the video description.
- (1:29) Gnomonkey kills the Ice Demon in the Chambers of Xeric Challenge Mode speedrun with an Inquisitor's armour set and a dragon warhammer.
- (12:45) Gnomonkey's pace at the time of reaching floor 3 was 12:40, which he considered not great; he says low twelves are nice and sub twelves are very fast.
- (27:35) Gnomonkey says that without the six zero hits in a row on lances in the middle of Olm and a bit less trolling, the run would likely have been a world record Olm at the very least.
- (28:08) Gnomonkey reviewed the raid backwards after finishing: Olm, Vasa and Guardians were disgusting (very good), Mystics pretty good, Muttadile kind of bad, Vespula, thieving and Tekton average, and Vanguards and Shamans bad.
- (29:15) Gnomonkey's 27:04 run was a new personal best in solo Challenge Mode; he reads out the change as 2751 to 2704.2 and says he is still ranked sixth.
Great Olm
- (22:22) Gnomonkey kept health high and brewed heavily during Olm, saying not to chance anything while he had loads of brew.
- (24:01) Gnomonkey hit six zeros in a row on the lance phase of Olm during this run, which he called possibly one in a hundred thousand odds and the cause of losing four hits of time.
- (25:55) Gnomonkey says he needed to brew every single tick near the end of Olm to survive the final phase.
- (26:27) Gnomonkey calls the final Olm kill free once the damage landed, the freest it has ever been.
