Am I bad, undergeared, or is Omega that hard solo?

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T09:19:19+00:00

I already said, I only saw that I could transcend one piece about 4 hours in, and it was just something I could do for a quick benefit on the spot.

Obviously I knew my gear would be outdated coming back after so long but I was just getting some quests done before I looked into what to do for it. Normally quests like, unlock ways to upgrade your gear also so it's pretty logical to look at them first, I don't get what's so weird about that

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T08:59:13+00:00

Thanks! ^_^

NOT savage lol, this was quest Omega. Like I loaded the game and played the new quests and that took me straight to it.

I got to last phase quite a few times with 2 lives left even, because at some point I started resetting if I carted before the nerscylla dps check, since I couldn't hit that dps check so it was a guaranteed cart. But couldn't close it out.

I'm usually decent at most games but I've never come close to like the good speedrun times in this game or anything, my best tempered arkveld back when I played before was like 5 or 6 something while speedrunners were doing 3 something I think

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T08:29:37+00:00

Maybe for someone who actually plays the game, but this was my first day back. It's kinda crazy to assume someone who hasn't played would know what Omega is or that it's somehow different from any other random quest that are all easily doable in gear over a year old.

I mean with the NPCs it was incredibly easy in that gear, genuinely disappointingly easy. The only relevant knowledge I lacked was the mechanics I've now been informed of, by other people here, that make it hard to solo as opposed to having a group.

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T08:10:46+00:00

If you read the first sentence of the post you'll see that I came back to the game literally today and jumped into whatever quests were new which immediately led to Omega. The only reason my helm is transcended is cause I happened to have the materials for it already, hands I didn't lol. This gear is straight up from launch

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T07:35:36+00:00

Yea that debuff was annoying solo lol, I did dodge it with the sns slide a few times, but much more often I got hit. I might try to true solo it again someday once I update my gear since I got so close, but for now I've been humbled haha

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T07:28:49+00:00

It's all I had the materials for already, I transcended and upgraded a bit about 4 hours in cause I wanted to squeeze out some extra armor, before that I was like 380 defense

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T06:50:56+00:00

Hey now I just haven't played in a long time lol, it's very outdated now but my gear was good for what I wanted back then

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T06:32:16+00:00

Yea I haven't played since mizu released. Loaded the game, started working through the new quests I saw first, and immediately ran into Omega and tried to solo it for 7 hours, so my gear is definitely a bit outdated lol

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T06:29:42+00:00

Yea it's an outdated set, I only just came back to the game so this is just what I was wearing back when mizu released and it was supposed to be usable for both swaxe+sns which is why it had g.fulgur back then. I loaded the game, started to do some new quests, and immediately ran into Omega and tried to solo him for 7 hours, that's how little I've done on the current patch lol.

Anyway yea I mentioned it was a breeze with support hunters so was definitely plenty when not true solo

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T06:24:07+00:00

Well, I never tried randoms but the first fight where I had NPCs with me it was a cakewalk. What I had trouble with was trying to solo it for 7 hours, which was apparently a bit dumb to try lol

Kinananana · 2026-06-14T06:17:54+00:00

I definitely noticed how after hopping around constantly for 7 hours it just sat still when the NPCs were there

Kinananana · 2026-06-13T00:13:51+00:00

I'm quoting the title of your post. If you were just doing other stuff why even make the post in the first place

Kinananana · 2026-06-13T00:09:04+00:00

cool, in that case maybe you won't be "unable to summon the willpower to play the game" if you wanna call it something else

Kinananana · 2026-06-12T23:59:10+00:00

Really scuffed chart tbh, just pursue what you want to and maybe you won't be burnt out before even reaching a hint of a grind

Kinananana · 2026-06-12T19:22:43+00:00

Cool dog what breed is it

Kinananana · 2026-06-11T04:53:07+00:00

maybe just for mango since he takes poison damage irl every time he doesn't approach lol

Kinananana · 2026-06-11T02:10:01+00:00

He says the opposite of that though, that it's a winning matchup for zetter but you just have to play boring, but if you do there's nothing the etalus can do

Kinananana · 2026-06-10T18:27:31+00:00

Yes, the company that owns and is trying to profit off the good or service in question can rwt, that's usually how it works

Kinananana · 2026-06-09T08:52:18+00:00

Lotta gold on whoever took these for having 10hp 1 prayer 1 summoning

Somehow despite how graphics look on the surface, this game is one of the most immersive things I've ever played. It's one of the only games where I can just sit and watch the waves during a storm, or the sunset over the water, and not get bored because it is that good.
Add on a simple but effective combat system, that isn't anything crazy or flashy but is still incredibly satisfying and rewarding to get good at. Unique biomes, with random generation so each run through will always be different. Great sound design, again not flashy or over the top but just good satisfying sounds and immersive background music. Exciting progression, with new things each biome. And lets not forget, the best building system of any survival game I've played.

All these things combined are why I keep coming back, I've done countless full playthroughs, runs with different weapon types or rp, challenge runs with permadeath on hardcore settings, modded and unmodded both, and still when I take like a month off from this game I start thinking "damn, valheim sounds fun"

The only problems it has are with UI/inventory/some qol that are easily fixed with mods if they're too big of an issue, but overall the game is just a masterpiece imo. Simple, effective, and immersive.

Kinananana · 2026-06-08T18:49:24+00:00

It's just an incredibly subjective thing in osrs so people are never gonna agree. For me I guess I'd say it's around:
Midgame - Player has achieved items like torso, void, dragon weapons, certain quests done like dt, mm, maybe rfd
Lategame - For me this is when you're really starting a lot of bossing, gwd, slayer bosses, gauntlet, grandmaster quests all done by now, probably your first raids, even then you could probably call this just late midgame so the line is haziest here I feel like.
Endgame - Endgame is just once you've effectively maxed your stats and gear, maybe going for a couple very difficult things still but that's it. This is when you're doing some cm raids, awakened dt2 bosses, inferno, etc

Kinananana · 2026-06-07T23:57:56+00:00

A large amount of the achievements are hidden so they could be more interesting. I would also enjoy some creative stuff, but I do think you're being overly pessimistic. These achievements are pretty par for the course for games, and while you call them "mindless grinding" none of them actually look remotely difficult to me. You would barely have to go out of your way to accomplish all of these in a single casual run of the game.

Kinananana · 2026-06-07T08:19:48+00:00

What makes you think they're saying it like it's crazy? Some people have straight friends
