Esker

Welcome! Hope to see you around

Welcome to Velheim!

Honestly a lot of the questions I see asked in FC are ones that are easily answered by wiki. Separating chats would be fine but a lot of people enjoy the banter, though at times it could be toned down

OUTDATED I'll update this one day Foreword Hey guys, Esker here. With the recent release of Nex: Angel of Death on Velheim, I wanted to write this guide in order to break down various mechanics of this boss. This boss is notorious for being difficult with a lot of intricacies. AoD is considered to be an end-game boss, but with the correct knowledge of mechanics, a well prepared team can easily do this boss in minutes. This is one of my favorite bosses, I have over 8,000 kills and close to 1,000 hours dedicated to the boss on RS3, and I hope to increase those numbers by killing this boss even more on Velheim. My intent for this guide is to impart the knowledge and experience that I have to the other members of this community, so that they can also share the joy of grinding this boss. I'm not a fancy person, so this guide will mostly consist of just text, images and some videos; no fancy headers or graphics, I'm not creative enough for that. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me in-game, or on Discord, and I will be more than happy to answer your questions about this boss. What is AoD? Nex: Angel of Death, or more commonly known as, AoD, is essentialy hard mode Nex. Various mechanics from the original boss have been abstracted and will occur in this fight. If you are familiar with mechanics from the original boss, you will also see them occur during this boss. She is a difficult boss with a very large health pool, but with the correct setup and team, she becomes extremely easy to take down. Those who defeat her gain a chance at obtaining various coveted rewards. Praesul codices, which unlock T99 prayers, T92 Mage Dual Wield, and cosmetic chests are potential loot that you can obtain for taking down this boss. Kills last roughly 3 minutes. Mechanics Recommended Setup Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I do AoD with you? A: Of course! Well, that actually depends. The bare minimum requirements are listed above. People are generally willing to teach the boss, even in learner/10 man teams, but you have to have the minimum gear requirements. Kills get increasingly frustrating when gear requirements are not met, so there is a standard that has to be kept. It is fine if you can only show up with chaotics and Morrigan's gear. Showing up with extremely low level gear, no overloads, low summoning is not fine. Q: I meet these requirements and am willing to learn. How do I get into a kill? A: Teams are generally formed at random times of the day. If you see that a team is going and you meet the requirements, feel free to ask to join, and generally you will be able to come if the team isn't already massive(10+ people) Q: What is entangle? What is a base tank? A: Entangle is what we colloquially refer to people who are designated to entangle the reavers(self-explanatory) during the boss fight. The entangle role is also synonymous to the term "Minion Tank", as they will also pull the aggro of the minions during the kill. The base tank is the person who provokes Nex at the start of the fight, and holds her aggro for the entire kill. The base tank is responsible for properly luring Nex during the final phase. Q: Why can't I re-enter the fight after I die/exit the arena? A: If you leave the arena after the kill has been started, either via death or TPing out, you will not be able to re-enter the arena and you will forfeit loot for that kill. You may re-enter the arena and watch from above, but you cannot participate after leaving. Q: A minion is attacking my base tank. How do I aggro it away? A: Target the minion, equip a Rots shield, go to your armor tab, right click the shield and click provoke. Minions can stun and combo the base tank to death if left alone. If you are a designated minion tank, or even just a dps, please be sure to take aggro off the base tank ASAP. Basing already hurts, we don't need more stuff hitting us. Q: What happens if I bomb mid? A: Bombs during the final phase will persist through death. If you happen to accidentally bomb mid one or twice while learning the mechanic, that is fine. Just be more aware in the future of your location when placing the bombs. Repeatedly bombing mid with the intent to grief is the fastest way to get kicked from a team.

The ones I've enjoyed the most and am fond of are the Tales/Trails series. The Trails of Cold Steel tetralogy is hands down my favorite series though.

Hey there, it's a pleasure to meet you all. I've been around for a couple of weeks, but wanted to be more active in the community so I figured I'd introduce myself to start off. My name is Vincent, but I go by Esker most of the time. I'm from Illinois, but I'm living in Colorado for my studies as a medical student. Real life aside, I'm an avid fan of RPGs, though RS will always hold a special place in my heart. I love PvMing and going for collection logs. And I'm always aiming to improve myself. It's nice to meet you all!
