I just finished Dragon Slayer II (wahoo!) Started playing again in December after a brief stint during Covid. Picked up at mid 800s total level and have been on the grind, currently sitting at 1638 and nearing the Quest Cape. Nothing crazy in the realm of OSRS achievements, but I’m pretty pumped on my progress. DSII was the next domino to fall on my journey. I can smell my Assembler upgrade around the corner. I one shotted Vorkath with no issues last night and picked it up again today having to take care of Galvek. I was very confident going into this fight. His mechanics seemed pretty easy and not too much to manage inventory wise. And so I began. Made it to the final metal dragon and died from Galvek’s mini nuke. No worries, I guess I just missed the animation prayer flicking or looking ahead at quest helper. Overconfidence. Just ride out the prayer pots bud! Back at it. Right through the metals and onto Galvek. Fight was going reasonably well but something was weird. His fireballs weren’t rendering. I had watched enough guides to know that his attack animation included the projectile. Weird… whatever, I’m probably over thinking it… Fast forward 6/7/8 (idk even know how many) deaths and about 1.2mill sunk into supplies and unlocking my loot and I was on full tilt. I didn’t get it. Something was wrong. I tried turning off 117 HD, turning on low detail, trying the GPU plugin - all met with the same result. I can’t see this guys fucking attacks. In desperation I opened up my outdated OBS, ripped a quick record of his attack, downloaded some ClipChamp shit, hacked together a clip, and jumped into the OSRS discord at 3:15am EST. Fellas, am I crazy or is my shit fucked up? I was encouraged that it’s nbd and I just had to learn his mechanics and I’d be good. I knew that it was very possible I’m just trash at the game. But I have my fire cape. I haven’t had any issues (ahem, outside of sins of the father lightning ahem). So I shared the clip and my fellow grinders saw what I saw: nothing out of this dumb flying serpentine dragons mouth. Some suggestions of restarting the client etc etc. No luck. Upon reporting back that the issue persisted and I was out of ideas, an angel asked “you don’t by chance have hide projectiles turned on in entity hider, do you?” Omfg. Brother. Are we super duper serious? I HAVE HIDE PROJECTILES TURNED ON SO I DON’T SEE SPELLS FLYING AT FKN GEMSTONE CRAB?!?! My god what an emotional roller coaster it was. I was so excited that I grabbed the wrong antifire potion on my next run and died again before rolling that bish Galvek up with ease in my next run. Shout out to my savior in the OSRS discord. A great RS experience all said and done. Herb runs and blast furnace to make up for my losses, but fk it (buttfuckit ha), we move onward! TL;DR Careful with your plugins boys. Had hide projectiles on and died to Galvek numerous times going full tilt in process. Saved by discord. submitted by /u/lduggan92
