i know its been a while since you made this but just wanted to say thanks- first 5 times i tried i got mauled, then finished it with extreme ease after this guide!
Really appreciate you taking the time to pause things and explain it, great guide and it helped break down the axe movement a lot better than other guides I have seen. Thanks!
just now seeing this for the first time. I ended up splitting a shadow drop and gonna be investing into alot of high end pvm items, and seeing these guides motivates me to do the DT2 bosses more than a few times.
Right on, congratulations on the shadow drop! Personally I think the DT2 bosses are a lot of fun, I haven't really been chasing drops from them but they're neat encounters. Thanks for watching 😁
3:31 nice save, you clicked the right tile originally, but rerouted to the left one. The thing I like about this boss is that when you understand the mechanics, it’s extremely predictable.
Nice guide, straight to the point and makes the fight look super easy! Liked the video and Subscribed to your channel, hoping to see more helpful guides like this in the future! :)
@@FluffyMugiLand one way to practice is to just go in with only food, don't even bother attacking, and try to do the axe mechanic and survive as long as you can. Once you've got that down, turn on game sounds and try to do axes and the magic prayer switch. Then finally put it all together and attack. You can do it, I believe in you!!
I have the RuneLite plugin "Stretched Mode" enabled and just shrunk my client window so that the inventory took up more space 😅 there's probably a more elegant way to do it but this worked in a pinch. Thanks for watching!!
Ah man that's rough, I know it can be super frustrating. Sometimes after trying a new boss I need a good night's sleep before it starts to click. Best of luck!
Right you will sometimes have all three axes on the bottom row, someone else mentioned that when that happens you can click a diagonal marked tile and run back to the middle marked tile and it will dodge them. Thanks for watching!
Any idea why my Better NPC Highlighter doesnt highlight the axes until they are already flying. Makes it very hard to dodge the ones that spawn underneath me....
Best ways for hard reworked cox rooms (vasa, vangs, vespula) would help a ton. Also, doesnt look like anyone has updated these guides since the tweaks.@@bownowcow9386
All of these DT2 bosses are a big jump in difficulty from other post quest bosses, it took me a bunch of attempts before I could get nerves out of the way. Just keep slamming your head against the wall and you can do it, I believe in you!
@@bownowcow9386 tyvm bro i did it, its a miracle, i used to struggle with vorkath barely made it with 4 kc, but after this.. boy it looks easy, made 50 kills just today
ah yeah someone else in the comments posted a different ID, I guess they changed it at some point and I haven't been back in a while, sorry about that! thanks for watching!
Ah man, yeah I did story mode in budget gear with a tent whip but his defense is super high & I didn't try tent whip post quest. The fang is so nice for this. Thanks for watching!
@@ZZerkZZerk I'm an iron using a tent with full bandos/tort/prims etc and...honestly he's right, even at 99 att/str tent is garbage here. It's okay if you want to TRY the boss, or if you're just getting the tablet, but I'd strongly recommend not grinding long-term with it. Kills are literally twice as fast with a fang.
Yeah sorry they changed the ID at some point after I made this, I ended up just adding "Vardorvis' Head" to the Hull Names section of the plugin. Thanks for watching!!
Yeah if three axes spawn under you and each corner next to you, just take the hit. One hit with an axe won't KO you, I took an axe to the face in this video 😅 thanks for watching!
you run out and back in with out losing a tick. you take no damage. can run one tick after the axe spawns underneath you. You skip both axes by going out and in instantly
Whisperer is the only one I can’t fucking get- post-quest. I learned Leviathan in like 20 minutes. Vardorvis is easy once mechanics are learned. Duke is literally brainless. Whisperer keeps getting me, though.
@@Black_Caucus I thought I'd never get Whisper down, bashed my head against it for like 2-3 hours one night, went to bed, and suddenly the next day I could do it! Weird how that works sometimes
Not sure exactly what all I changed since it was so long ago, but I remember setting these: Saturation: 120% Contrast: 90% Brightness: 30 Everything else is turned on and cranked up to the max. Hope that helps!
It does have a steep learning curve but the good news is it's a shorter fight than most others so you can keep throwing attempts at it until it clicks! Copying my advice from another comment - one way to practice is to just go in with only food, don't even bother attacking, and try to do the axe mechanic and survive as long as you can.

Imagine still having a non blue rune pouch in 2023. Edited here. And having all those unnecessary orbs around minimap.. sheeesh you never play. U get on just to make a guide..
@bownowcow9386 imagine not doing the content that has the biggest reward. And to get pouch upgrade can do entry modes which take all of 15 minutes or less.
see i like how you pause the video to actually explain it to people ya dont see that in a lot of videos anymore well done i enjoyed watchin that
I appreciate the feedback, I'll make sure to keep doing that in future videos - thanks for watching!!!
I've watched 6 guides, and you're the first to actually explain the axe mechanics clearly. Thank you so much for this!
Awesome, I love to hear it!!! Thanks for watching 😁
i know its been a while since you made this but just wanted to say thanks- first 5 times i tried i got mauled, then finished it with extreme ease after this guide!
Woohoo!!! That's great to hear, thanks for watching!!!
Super straightforward and no bologna.
Appreciate the kind words 😁 Thanks for watching!!!

Perfect guide, was beating him for the quest and after dying once i watched this guide and only had to eat 3 food to beat him thanks so much
Awesome I'm so glad it was helpful!! Thanks for watching and good luck 😁
The hardest quest monster thus far for me...beat it after the 4th try. Thanks for the guide!
Nice, congrats on the kill!! And thanks for watching 😁
watched a lot of guides this is the only guide that's really helped me killing it thanks keep it up G
Awesome, love to hear it!! Thanks for watching and good luck on your RNG 😁
wiped to him a few times doing quest and someone recommended this vid. already super helpful and yes I agree with the pauses ty man!
That's awesome to hear!!! Thanks for watching 😁
My guy, you are great at making guides. I am shit in RS, but with your help I at least managed to kill the quest versions.
I'm so glad it helped, well done!! And thanks for watching!!!
I just started DT2 today so I will def be using this guide! Thanks!
Love to hear it, best of luck on your quest!!
3:31 nice save, you clicked the right tile originally, but rerouted to the left one. The thing I like about this boss is that when you understand the mechanics, it’s extremely predictable.
Haha thanks the panic clicking is real 😅 thanks for watching!!
Dude, perfect guide. Just perfect.
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching 😁

Thank you so much!!!
Great guide , keep
It up brother !
Thank you, I appreciate it!! And thanks for watching 😁
Nice guide. I Did the quest version on an iron with a d scim, d defender, and fighter torso.
Nice work, that's impressive 🦾 thanks for watching!!
Outstanding guide. Cheers brother.
Thank you I appreciate it!! And thanks for watching!
phenomenal guide. i subbed
Thanks so much for the sub!! I appreciate it 😁 best of luck on your drops!
Dude, thank you so much, got my first kill right after watching your video
That's awesome, I love to hear it!! Best of luck with your drops, thanks for watching 😁
I don`t know i can do it i struggle way to much with keeping my health up and switching the prayers seems impossible

Thanks for the guide. Can you explain how you stretched your screen to make your inventory larger? Thanks!!
I have the RuneLite plugin "Stretched Mode" enabled and just shrunk my client window so that the inventory took up more space 😅 there's probably a more elegant way to do it but this worked in a pinch. Thanks for watching!!
12226 will also highlight the head
Thank you!! I looked for the new ID # after they updated it and gave up lol. Thanks for watching 😁
learned some new things here thank you
Awesome, glad to hear it! And thanks for watching!!
stacked out in 5sec with maxed gear tots a good boss. thats start of fight with angler fish in maxed gear stacked out
never going this boss again
Ah man that's rough, I know it can be super frustrating. Sometimes after trying a new boss I need a good night's sleep before it starts to click. Best of luck!
My hero
Glad I could help! And thanks for watching 😁
There are times when stand on any of those squares and still get hit by axes.
Right you will sometimes have all three axes on the bottom row, someone else mentioned that when that happens you can click a diagonal marked tile and run back to the middle marked tile and it will dodge them. Thanks for watching!
First kc outside of quest after this video, very sad that fang doesnt shine anymore here :')
Woohoo!! Yeah the fang nerf was a sad day, I ended up using a salad blade afterwards but IDK if it's worth the price 🤷♂️ thanks for watching!!
Any idea why my Better NPC Highlighter doesnt highlight the axes until they are already flying. Makes it very hard to dodge the ones that spawn underneath me....
Hmmm I'm not sure, it doesn't seem to do that for me on either of my computers 🤔 hopefully someone else sees this and can help! Thanks for watching!!
thanks pal nice guide
Glad it was helpful!!! And thanks for watching 😁
More guides just like this please
Any particular boss you'd like to see? I started running out of ideas haha. Thanks for watching!!
Best ways for hard reworked cox rooms (vasa, vangs, vespula) would help a ton. Also, doesnt look like anyone has updated these guides since the tweaks.@@bownowcow9386
thank you!
bro.. even with the pausing & all add´ons help im still scared lol, 1st try was a mess (before watching this vid) ill try it out again
got him to 50% and died.. range special too quick

Thanks for watching!!
i did the plug in exactly like you said but i cant get the vardovis eye to show up with a boarder? idk why?
ah yeah someone else in the comments posted a different ID, I guess they changed it at some point and I haven't been back in a while, sorry about that! thanks for watching!
@@bownowcow9386 it's 12226 I found it. Still having trouble with him though it sucks
I got 400kils on duke now i wanne go do this i finale hit a drop so i can buy a fang, thanks for this i give it go tonigt
Very nice, best of luck!!! And thanks for watching 😁
thank u
@@PSunnyFx thanks for watching!!! 😁
RIP fang
We hardly knew ye 🥲 I've been using salad blade since then which works ok. Thanks for watching!!!
Most importantly, do not even start this boss without near max gear, a tentacle whip won't do the trick unfortunately. :/
Ah man, yeah I did story mode in budget gear with a tent whip but his defense is super high & I didn't try tent whip post quest. The fang is so nice for this. Thanks for watching!

I did this boss day one and ended up finishing him in guthans, dscimmy and the rest of my ironman welfare gear couldn't do it.
Went onto the wrong hub
Yeah sorry they changed the ID at some point after I made this, I ended up just adding "Vardorvis' Head" to the Hull Names section of the plugin. Thanks for watching!!
@@bownowcow9386 MB it was a PHub joke
What's the new Hull ID for Vardorvis' head that's green?
Ahh shoot I'm not sure, I'll let you know if I find out
How do you find out which ID it has?@@bownowcow9386
what are you supposed to do if an axe spawns under you and beside each corner, just accept death?
Yeah if three axes spawn under you and each corner next to you, just take the hit. One hit with an axe won't KO you, I took an axe to the face in this video 😅 thanks for watching!
If you're quick you can switch to a perpendicular safe spot (if you're south, run to the west or east)
@@SackyBalls444 nice tip, not sure if I could pull it off but worth a shot! Thanks for watching!
you run out and back in with out losing a tick. you take no damage. can run one tick after the axe spawns underneath you. You skip both axes by going out and in instantly
@@2147B love it, thanks!
with the update is fang still BIS?
Sadly not, I've been using salad blade but tent whip or zombie axe will do just fine. Thanks for watching!!!
I'm such trash at this boss. Whisperer is a easier imo
It's really interesting how everyone seems to have a different ranking of difficulty for the DT2 bosses haha. Thanks for watching!
Whisperer is the only one I can’t fucking get- post-quest. I learned Leviathan in like 20 minutes. Vardorvis is easy once mechanics are learned. Duke is literally brainless. Whisperer keeps getting me, though.

Bro you high or just too good i don't know but at whisperer i died like 10x left the game next day died 1 more time and made it fk that ho
vardorvis has the boss timer plugin yet?
It's still not showing for me 🤷♂️ thanks for watching!
Is fang still recommended after nerf?
Unfortunately not, I've been using salad blade since the nerf. tent whip or zombie axe will do fine too. Thanks for watching!!!
What is the heads number?
Looks like it's 12226. I just checked yesterday and the hull name "Vardorvis' Head" was working again too. Thanks for watching!!
What’s your 117 settings dude??
Not sure exactly what all I changed since it was so long ago, but I remember setting these:
Saturation: 120%
Contrast: 90%
Brightness: 30
Everything else is turned on and cranked up to the max. Hope that helps!
@@bownowcow9386 looks real good! Thanks
this isnt easier than duke
Yeah for me the hardest is whisper, then leviathan, then Vardorvis, and finally Duke. Thanks for watching!
@@bownowcow9386 thanks
boss is too hard i hate this

Interesting you think this boss is easier than the others. I think it's the hardest imo
Crazy how different it is for everyone! Thanks for watching 😁
Show us how to do it on mobile! If you cant kill vardorvis on mobile can you even call yourself a runescape player?
Hahaha challenge accepted! I'll try it out soon. Thanks for watching!
Imagine still having a non blue rune pouch in 2023. Edited here. And having all those unnecessary orbs around minimap.. sheeesh you never play. U get on just to make a guide..
You may notice I don't have any ToA guides - I just don't like doing it lol. Thanks for watching!
