The Accidental God [OSRS Perspective]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- Guthix is a name known by every RuneScaper, but how many of us know of his tragic beginnings? In this video I explore the tale of the God of Balance - the Accidental God - from his early days in the distant realm of Naragun to his alleged current whereabouts...and considering that this video took me, like, 40 hours, I REALLY hope you enjoy it!
Update 2-19-24: This video is randomly popping off over a year later, probably because While Guthix Sleeps is on the way! For those asking, I LOVE what Mod Ed has done with the lore and the direction he's taken with the stories, he's phenomenal. Trust him! The story is in good hands! He's woven together storylines from loose ends to give a different take that is nothing short of masterful, and when I get to SOTE and DS2 and the Dragonkin, you'll see what I mean!

Wait…. So THIS is what I have been holding space bar through???

Yes.
Only if you've been playing RS3 for years.
@@barfyman-wn3id From 7:00 onward is absolutely guaranteed OSRS lore, and the parts before that are consistent with what Mod Ed has maintained throughout the series. I have no clue what's up with everybody screaming this is RS3 and being crybabies about this. Look at the outro screen if it bothers you that badly.
In RS3, it's revealed that after he established the Edicts, Guthix didn't just go to sleep, but began meditating to carefully maintain the balance of the energies required to keep the barriers intact. That's why when he was killed, the barriers fell and the gods were free to return.
I like that part of the mythology because it adds to his whole "god of balance" thing, as he spent two eras in a meditative state, actively maintaining a balance on a cosmic scale.
That’s sick! Thanks for sharing!
This lore makes me even more excited for the OSRS version of While Guthix Sleeps quest expected to be released as the last update of Summer 2024 on the Winter Summit roadmap
Me too! I may have to make an update!
;( osrs got more of a road map than rs3
@@wiseoldowl1628 Yeah, only stuff they "announced" were their combat beta progress and they gave us a short quest to unlock some jewelry only slightly useful for Necromancy. I'm disappointed at the RS3 team, especially with all the money they're raking in with all their key promos and MTX they have compared to OSRS which doesn't have any and has a proper full 6-month roadmap.
I'm hoping things change drastically once the 4th buyout in a decade happens and CVC finalizes the deal and they're not just after squeezing us dry while not prioritizing good content
As an rs3 player, osrs is in for a treat if they are getting while guthix sleeps. It's a challenging and iconic quest that's killed many a HCIM over here. I'll be curious to see if the lore differs.
Guthix is the absolute best god in OSRS, can't wait for more about it.
I'm really excited to see the direction the OSRS guys go with the major storylines, and sincerely hope Guthix lives this time around. As fun as the return of the gods and Sliske's wild ride was, it also came with its share of mistakes and letdowns. It is better, in my opinion, that these divine powers stay as legendary figures of the distant past, and we keep our mortal player's focus on the Mahjarrat, Vampyres, pests, trolls, kalphites, whatever the heck the white/temple knights did with their king, what's going on in the desert... There's really no end to cool things to focus on.
Fun fact the leader of the temple knights is a Cithothian demon loyal to zaros playing undercover and as a leader of a coup of half the white/temple knights that are loyal to Zaros and not Saradomin, i believe he is similar to Duke Succulas
please be the osrs lore channel we need
worth mentioning almost none of this is in osrs, but in rs3. Still, most of the events should line up.
The new Zamorak video is out!
@@TheRSFelon watched, liked and commented. Another amazing video
Hail Guthix…
hey, fantastic video! you gave a disclaimer at the end stating this video is mostly speculative, but in rs3 almost every detail of this is proven true. great job! the only bits where things arent correct are the ones that dont include some of the further information also provided in rs3 and outside sources of canon, perfect job.
Broooo just coming across this video now a year later. Only 18k views!? Honestly this is incredibly well made and was very enjoyable to watch. Hope you make more of these in the future.
Same, this piece of candy just popped up on my feed. Hope there's more like it on this channel!
Liked & subbed

The Zamorak video just dropped this morning!
it’s so fucking dope that all this content we’ve been playing for 20 years, some of which may seem random, all tie in to the complete lore. that’s why this game is so god damn good.
Need a RuneScape HBO series
Shame it took this long for youtube to recommend this. Great content! I love me some long form RuneScape lore.
Agreed
Glad I was right about one thing, Guthix MA2 cape, best cape.
Ah yes, the lore that compelled me to get as much of all of the god equipment as I could.
So many years, so much fun.
I've not played RS since 2007 or 2008 but this kind of makes me want to play to do quests. Never had any idea the lore was so intense.
Good job on the production of this Josh. It's quite poetic you telling the lore given how much of an impact the game has had on the story of your own life.
Start with one small favour, excellent quest with plenty of action packed lore.
I was doing grand tree, I believe it was and there's a part where you need to find three gnomes for coordinates. The first two you find easy enough but the third when found starts babbling incoherently and speaking irrationally to which your character examines as "the war had taken it's toll on the poor gnomes mind" and you need to go find an alternate way of obtaining the last coordinates.
JESUS CHRIST JAGEX GIVE US MORE OF THAT!
You'll have to play RS3 then because most of this lore is not found in any OSRS quests.
Say what you want about RS3 in terms of gameplay and MTX, but the storytelling in the quests has always been top tier
There were no deserts during the first age. The whole of Gilenor was covered in lush vegetation.
This put me in a trance and has made me see rs and the real world in a different way lol. Loved it
Dude this was so well done, you should be very proud.
I've played on and off for 15 years, guthix has always been my favorite. But to know the whole story is surprisingly dramatic and tragic. Very nicely done
6:30 haha i love how the inscrtiption on the blade written in the medieval futhark translates to "behave" 😌
I never knew much about the lore outside of quest text so this is neat
Damnnnn that editing tho!
Guthix is a grey jedi...cool haha
Me and my buddy would always do the headbanging rock and roll emote and spam GUTHIX!!!! Wave shake flashing black texts, I forgot if black was a font type or not but I was definitely blindly following guthix for awhile there ahaha we also had RuneScape sex (following each other) while we did it. Man how embarrassing it was when a guy in school told us what that meant...
Gave me chills when Guthix charged Tuska that was crazzzyyyy!!! 🤯
Man. The youtube algorithm just spit this out at me. So glad i watched it. Been getting back into OSRS and R3 with the husband after not playing since 2008.
Welcome back! If you guys want to join my friends chat it’s beginner friendly but we also have plenty of high level players too - the chat name js “Dead Felon” which definitely doesn’t SOUND friendly
If the god wars lore is interesting to anybody, look into the spinoff game armies of geilinor
Super thankful that this masterpiece showed up in my recommended.
Haven’t even watched it yet but know it’s gunna be a banger
Thank you so so so much. Please everyone share the video or the channel this is amazing!
I'm 100% one of the spacebar warriors man so thanks for this. I use to go guthix cwars portal simply cause ya know green 420 lmao oh the days
Please do more lore videos
I remember playing fist of guthix. Fun mini game
I don’t even play RS but this was great!
excellent vid
Fantastic video
Great video
Hey man just wanted to say that this was an extremely well made video. Please more lore videos in the future!
The Zamorak one just came out :)
I knew wearing full guthix rune was the best choice
Greatly made lore vid! Guthix was so amazing! A great story to follow up the “While Guthix Sleeps” quest coming out this year!
You are such a Storyteller Josh! I listened to your story on Sae Bae, that's how I found this channel. Keep telling stories, doesn't matter if it's your own life story or RS lore. It's excellent!
I've played OSRS for years without knowing any of the lore, this makes me appreciate the game way more. Loved the video Josh, please make more :)
New one just came out this morning!!
I saw the title of this video and I liked and subscribed. The more Guthix I see the better
GuThIx!
for the love of all that is good, PLEASE make more lore videos josh
New video just came out! Zamorak!
Damn this is tight asf
Very well done man
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Would love to see more.
Good to see you reality! The Zamorak video just dropped!
I know im late to the party, but this was such a good video! Would love for it to become a series On the different gods!
It will be! I was halfway done with Saradomin when I got a new Pc and have yet to transfer the Premiere Pro files over. Much love and thank you!!
Legendary as always
This is why I want my first cape to be a quest cape so I can learn more about stuff like this
This video was excellent. I was only left wanting more of the lore. The time of Zaros, and the overthrow by Zamorak would make excellent sequels!
You’re in luck - that video you requested came out TODAY.
Go watch it, leave a like a comment!
This is why Guthix is the best
Well produced, well narrated like you really got a knack for it.
That’s why he the goat 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Also, I think I'll add this: guthixs one flaw was that he withdrew for so long that mortals either forgot about him or got bored which caused his death (in rs3 at least). Throughout the God questline, all I saw were other God's scheming on the outside to get back in... If he kept watch for just a few decades each century or so, I'm sure things would've been fine, but he just kept sleeping.
Obviously I have no idea what's going to happen with him in OSRS... I haven't done song of the elves yet on an account, and I don't think there is an official God questline. I didn't know he threatened to reshape the entire area if the Gods invaded again.. that kinda hurts to know seeing as he gets killed in RS3.
Third time watching this in 2 days watched it twice at work last night
There’s a new one for you to rewatch a few times if you want 😂
no notes, this was amazing
Please make more videos like these. There's a serious lack of osrs lore
coming from rs3 i’m stoked to see while guthix sleeps coming in a few weeks
Bro this was amazing Josh! Rsk 4 life lol.
I don't play or know anything about runescape but watched it anyways nice vid man
You should make a rs3 perspective. I've always found that questline to be a lot more interesting. Great video though.
Such a good video
This production quality is 🔥bro. My nerd ass was hooked. ❤
Curious how osrs will differ.
This is a great overview of what we know might happen, but not what will!
well done man, runescape needs a movie
Wow. I've watched tons of RS lore and nothing came this close
Im not even a minute in and i know this is going to be good. Instant subscribe.
Thank you!! More lore coming soon!
Right after the intro I literally said “ooh this is gonna be good” 😂
honestly learned more about runescape lore from this than anything in the last 20 years. I have tried to look up these kind of lore videos before and couldn't find any that weren't too "lost in the sauce". Good shit man!
Incredible video! Unbelievable editing skills. Even if it did take 40-50 hours not many could still do this well! I CANT WAIT for you to do the other gods especially zaros or zammy. keep up the awesome work Josh!
ZAMORAK CAME OUT THIS MORNING GO WATCH IT
Very well told. I'm new to runescape lore and this was very interesting
Please make more of these videos!!!!
The Zamorak video just came out!!
G'stuff, Man! Even though I don't play OSRS anymore this was still VERY entertaining! Thank you! :D
Glad I found your channel, I'd heard your story years ago but had no idea who you were or if you even still played. Good stuff, got a new sub. Keep it coming and hope to maybe see ya in game sometime, if you see rsn-guardmyrift running around gelinor feel free to say hey 🤣
very cool josh
This lore is so cool. Never realized it. My application for runescape has def gone up
This is the definition of runebased. Good stuff my boi!
Holy shit.... this is fucking good! You’ve earned my sub from the first video.
Make more videos with this depth. You will get more subs.
great video!
Here's to the algorithm, thank you for the deep dive into lore for us. o7
Great video on Guthix the God of Balance!
You’re doing great things! Impressive editing!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video
Thank you
You have to protect what you create.
Love the editing, you worked so hard 🥰
I would watch this for the other gods. And other lore. Understanding that its harder to dig up their lore, this was good and you told it well
Zamorak video released today!
Such a well composed video
I knew I picked the right cape.
Good work my guy! Keep it up, I would love to see more osrs lore from you.
Zamorak video came out today!!
I would always let guthix choose which side I played on for Castle wars
Fantastic shit! Idk why i was already subbed but clearly its for a reason lmao this was awesome.
you are literally the vaati of osrs, how have I never seen this before
Need more lore like this please
Just dropped the newest episode :)
really good mate! more plox
Just dropped the new one finally! Go check it out!
I was not ready for this, you've found your niche brother and I really hope you keep making these types of videos now.
Zammy videos out now :)
We need more of these!
I just released Zamorak this morning :)
More lore please!!!!!
Awesome video
Masterpiece, thanks a lot brother
Great video!
After twenty years of playing RS you’re the first person to ever get me interested in the lore and have brought a bright light and new perspective on the game and world i enjoy
Thank you for taking the time to make the video and narrate this story, i hope you continue to make videos similar to this one!
