No One Knew about these Runescape Secrets 

Don't forget, 1 subscriber = 1 free lit torch. These are some of my absolutely favorite videos to make - I hope some of the things I showed were surprising! Let me know if you'd like to see another one of these videos soon. Also make sure to check out Factor Meals! All links for everything I mentioned are in the description. :)

The inability to drop your final light source was added many years later, as an anti-lure mechanic.

A small thing i noticed once. If you venom a Rock Slug in the lumbridge caves, it will continue dying untill a update day on wednesday. It's mechanic where it cannot die without rock salt, and venom reapplying itself will make a continous loop for its death, it will "die" every 20 seconds for an entire week if that is your wish :)!

i actually knew all of these. my dad is Jagex (founder of runescape) and he gave me max stats and trimmed armor for free

Regarding that first Cave Goblin scenario: you end up near them if you fail the 3rd direction option during The Lost Tribe (you get sucked into the ground and are stranded about 10 tiles away from the Cave Goblins if you go west instead of south just past the bone bridge). This extinguishes your lightsource (I think you previously also had a chance of losing it - but that may be from failing a different obstacle in that same 'maze'). This can end up saving you if you have previously talked to them - or consciously walk up to them and space bar. I love how this is now getting found/'rediscovered' in OSRS specifically because of the eternal fire! Update: Could not find an interaction that takes your torch, not even from going immediately north from the small tunnel past the brooch and getting swept into the water - but I did test it on one of my test accounts and found that you can totally tell the goblins you're not going to hurt them, and then get the torch off them, all in time before the bugs become a nuisance :).

Vials of water only fill 1/4 of a waterskin, but you can use them on a bucket to make a bucket of water which will completely fill a waterskin

You could drop or extinguish your light source before. Your light source can also go out a lot closer to them by failing the agility shortcuts or by doing the things they were place there for. If you take the wrong route through the cave goblin mines during lost tribe, you can fall and get spit out here. Leaving you with plenty of time to talk to them.

90% of this is just from the Advent-Calendar the OSRS Wiki did on twitter last December...

The fire likely has nothing to do with the building but rather the fire object itself is a unique asset that was reused

I’ve noticed a young and magpie impling flying onto southwest Entrana while doing hops runs. I wasn’t fast enough to catch the implings, but I’m curious if that’s another way to smuggle weapons and armor onto the holy island.

I doubt anyone would have a video or information on it, but there was this interesting interaction at Tzhaar back in the day where you could force spawn random events by using any item on the vents that you can range behind, and iirc you could do it every like 2 minutes or so. It was either it force spawned a random event, or gave you a random gem. I know this will get lost in the comments and know one will have any info on it, but i figured id share it. I spent so much time down there and i remember learning about it from someone else like 16 years ago. Anyway doubt it helps but cheers! nice vid!

Also interestingly the shayzien and pest control general store has a much smaller change in price per item in stock than basically all other stores in the game, so if you're trying to sell 50 of an item per world hop (like a rune arrow), those 2 are actually the best shops to sell to.

Pvp world trivia: On pvp worlds there is one bank spot that is NOT a safe area, the bank in myths guild

UNUSUAL MONEY MAKER!!!!!: When doing the underground pass quest on a account that has never done it before, there is a part of the quest where you can kill guys that look like chaos druids, I believe they are called "Iban's followers" or something like that. This is the one and only time you can kill an NPC and it has a 100% drop rate for a zamorak robe set. It's around 4k for a single robe set and you can kill as many as you want so long as you haven't finished the quest. Could be a decent unusual money maker? I hope you look into it if you do another Unusual Money Maker episode.

used to be before the random event rework, you could take an axe head and handle and reassemble it on the island.

Can you drop/extinguish your light source during a random event that pulls you out of the caves, then return to the caves and get a life saving torch?

Not the most interesting, but after the bar maids were added to the Grand Exchange games area, the bar maids in the Burthorpe Games Room claim they they do not sell drinks if you try to buy drinks from them via dialogue. Despite this, you can still trade them for drinks. The bar maids at the Grand Exchange, however, do not have the trade option.

The Gorgeshuun Goblins, their city, and the related quests are among of the best lore designs in the entire game. It's a shame there's not much useful to do in the city.

Bert's soul is in the bar, even when his body's working.

Pretty sure many knew the unlit torch thing. You could lose your light source by falling into the water by the frogs so was an option (albeit not amazing) to get one back. Could be my memory is hazy though!

Poor Hans gonna be traumatized by all of that bullying

I actually ran by those cave goblins not that long ago doing Rag and Bone Man 2. The quest puglin on RL told me to go to that area of the cave . If you attack them, they call out for help. (Just saying. Many people have probably run by them because of the quest helper)

6:25 Not to toot my own horn, but this one isn't too uncommon I'd think. I saw this one time specifically *because* it's an npc you can talk to that also has an idle action/animation input. So I thought "I wonder if I can be silly and still have him 'talk to me' while he's visually mining... you wait long enough and you see that it CAN be done, how silly! Then you'll notice that the chathead now looks strange, if you initiate dialogue again, that's when you notice it's actually just different/older :)

Player: Hey @JagexAsh do you ever think we could get a quest that gives more backstory on the wise old man other than the little bit of the wise young man that we got in making friends with my arm ? Jmod Ash: Have you met Elsie in Varrock ? Bring her a cup of tea and she'll tell you a story...

You don't even need to world hop to get the monks to kick you off, just walk on the west coast of the island. That's a different "region" on the world map, and for some reason programmed differently.

Time Rune, Soul Rune, Reality Rune, Mind Rune... Just need a Power Rune...

I didn't know this, BUT in the corrupted gauntlet, you can fill you empty vials in corrupted fishing pools as wlel as the faucet. I didnt know this!

I thought this was going to be a very elaborate video, and at the end you were going to go to the cave goblins with a mind helmet and make a mind goblin joke. Missed opportunity.

the hunter guy with the bird is from fremennik thats why the house looks like that and also the fire

Bro went on about a goblin giving you a torch for half the video lol

I've been watching your videos for years. I have always wondered, what kind of soup? Chicken, broccoli, minnistrone? Or are you a ramen... What is it Mr. Soup

I've seen countless of these runescape facts videos, all of which fail to impress me. Soup, you killed it with this one! How awesome is it that 20 years later we still find unknown stuff about this game!

the dagger smuggling is wild

regarding #1, have you always not been able to unlight your torch in the caves? i imagine this might've been added after a couple updates because of lurers?

Soup I played in 2005 back then got lured here it was instant death when you could extinguish the light source!

7:43 "can lead to wacky scenarios" while getting whacked with a stale baguette 🤯

I've actually ran into the cave goblin miner chathead thing before but I did not know how to replicate it happening. I did it on Rs3 though and it still works over there too, just tested it.

For number 1, you used to be able to drop your own light or even trade it to another player while being in the goblin tunnels or where i was tricked in the mole tunnel under fally, there used to be a few scams where people could get you to lose your light and die

Little correction to the goblins. Back in the days you could extinguish/drop your lightsource, that was even pretty common way to scam peolple for their stuff.

Wait Soup hasn't done Fremennik Trials?

@9:23 How is it useful exactly to ironmen? :DDDDDDD absolute banger of a video soup damn

my man tried to help hans by using a baguette

Back then rs wasnt on training wheels. You could drop light sources.

I guess the cave goblins are also supposed to help if you fall in the water and extinguish your torch maybe?

i died doing contact! back in the day because i forgot a tele and panicked from the insects lol. i always felt so bad for the peace loving cave goblins

Surprised you didn't cover the mind goblin, Soup.

the old chat head model is actually insane.

It sounds like the bugs attacking you is because the insects in the dark wernt initially thought of until later, hence the goblins.

You used to be able to extinguish your light source it was a probably lure back in the day

new HCIM challenge. speedrun to death by own cat

can anyone tell me the song that starts at 9:15 when he’s talking about the pest control and shayzien stores? it’s so pretty, reminds me of the drift net fishing area song

The crazy guy in the abandoned town next to wintertodt says a Rick and morty reference if you talk to him

I cannot believe one of the banning challenges hasn't been sheephearding hans into the goblin hut... what a frustrating banning that would be for people haha

How about a breakdown of some weird trivia of some content in OSRS that relates to non-OSRS content, like Wesley Crusher or Ping and Pong’s ‘more cowbell’?

Thoroughly enjoyed the vid Soup!!!

Can you alch the torch / candle thing in the first section of the video?

fot the entrana melee weapons there is also the silver sickle that can be made using the forge (unless that got patched), other than that, yup didn't know these facts

back in the days if you failed the random event, you could be teleported on random location. i remember as kid i once were afking yew's abit too hard and got teleported to the cave.

Me, trying to find Hans for a clue step. Soup:

they updated it so you couldn't put it out to stop lures in lumbridge basement back when items show up upon death on rs3 along time ago before backup although you can still get to go out somehow not sure but nice vid

It's assuming you get a random event the mystery box and have a box replace your candle.

It's possible there were no cave bugs at some point in development. So the cave goblin would just help an annoyed player lost in darkness with no home tele at the time. For that matter, do we know for sure the cave bugs were there since the caves were released? It may have been a silent patch that broke the easter egg.

Can the cat kill you if you're low enough? You might be the first person to ever get killed by their own cat in runescape.

Great video, please make more of these as and when you find out more Easter eggs

Mote Plox has entered the chat

So GG season 4 will have a challenge to move Hans to the goblin hut, right?

i saw a vid of hannanie got him to varrock square with his clan

Cool speedrun idea, first one to take damage from your own cat

Great Video Man!!!!

are we able to bring runes to entrana and cast fire blast on the monks?

I expect to find Hans in the hut from now on

Wow Soup, very informative video, I really enjoyed it!

Players take note!!! These might be challenges in the next GG!! Specially the Hans one as a team or is it?

the barrows cat thing still works on rs3, just tested it.

Mote Plox accomplished this feat no more than an hour ago…

Hans scaring is the best elimination challenge for GG

if they just made that specific area/room that the goblins are in lit up wouldve made so much more sense for them to be handing you a torch lol

if you go through the tunnel in the lumbridge basement you have way more than enough time to make it to them and get the torch

I love this style of video

Cool video 🙏 Love random weird facts like this

Outro song?

I don’t understand why RU-vid OSRS content creators think we order food from the mailman. We all eat cereal out of coolwhip containers her pal.

Love the runescape lore

make the Hans game a quest, official sheep herder 2

Theres also another npc that retreats the stray dog of varrock

i want one of those bone pickaxes

I don't turn adblock off for anybody, sorry.

The music for the last minute gets extremely distracting

Not as complex, the Wubbalubbadub duub reference is apretty fun one. Guys lost his mind east of WT xd

I know this is an old video but I laughed so hard at that factor segment. The lady pulled her food outta the stove and her plastic sauce cup was in it 😂😂

Since the bugs are hitting you you are actually not in combat you are just taking damage You can still log out .

Cant u alch ur light source?

I doubt anyone knows this (not on the wiki for compostables) but you can compost kebabs

Don't forget that the dialogue for the Scaredy cat conversation is spelled incorrectly.

Use a herring on a tree

Thanks Soup!

Soup said he is deeply in love with me, you all heard it

Cool stuff!

Fascinating video

You didn't have to remind me 2005 was 18 years ago. Ffs I'm 30 asf rn
