I can't believe you didn't mention the fact an entire technique is named after him! Woox Walking!

Woox eating food in Rimmington store was so legendary.... The Twitch chat went crazy

you forgot to mention they made the dominion tower in rs3 with all the quest bosses and told him he would have a hard time, then he did it with an inventory of cabages

Woox is like the John Wick of Runescape. A man of focus.

The Woox V Jad with 1 prayer and no items, along with the Pernix Body solo was legendary to me and my brother. We were both pretty new to the game and it was awesome to see Woox pull off insane feats, and still to this day! Woox being the first to complete the Chambers of Xeric on the Twisted League (I believe) was one I personally witnessed. The man is a legend and it's amazing to see how involved and passionate he is for the game and community.

You honestly cant help but love Woox, his game mechanics are undeniable but his soft spoken quirkiness make him lovable.

I literally got goosebumps watching all the old pvm challenges he completed. Truly a legend.

That comment you showed at 6:05 was actually saying "born for pvm" the player not that "woox was born for pvm". After seeing that clip I went to Born's channel after not hearing fromhim for years and his recent video comments all say RIP and that's how I just learned that he died from a motorcycle accident 8 months ago. Holy shit. Born For PvM was in Simon and James Runeshark's God Sword Set From Scratch series. And that series was like a part of my childhood. Idk how to feel rn tbh. I feel like RuneShark's GSSFS was the first ever exposure I had to DIY runescape and they definitely made it mainstream. It directly led to One Man Army and OSRS Ironman modes. Its a shame that nobody remembers them nowadays.

woox is a childhood hero I got to witness him get the first ever infernal cape live and it felt surreal im pretty sure he crashed some of the worlds he hopped to because of the instant 2k people trying to get on his world, he was walking around varrock square and I felt like I was at the falador massacre with people just spamming and insane lag

I'm just a huge runescape fan even though I stopped playing ages ago... I still get extremely excited when I see a KempQ video! Keep up the great work!!

Woox also discovered nature island in the wilderness during CTC1, a big accomplishment too

great video but how do you fail to mention the 6 jads with no prayer?! It bothers me that I can't properly explain to my friends how amazing he is at this game...

Began watching Woox when he uploaded his Nex Duo with Stokenut. And he is still pushing the limits of what can be done, amazing!

Okay, but Mod Ash coming through with 10k of his own money to award to Woox is the hero we needed. Mod Ash is truly a treasure. Also, love that Woox has been popping off since 2008!

Beautiful video Kemp! Loved it. Woox has been a legend since before some people were born that play Runescape. Incredible.

I remember watching his tormented demon with steel titan guide. Took me weeks to get close to his kill per hour, still never got to his level obviously. Made me a lot of geepee back in the day. My hero

Had no idea that was pre-eoc Woox at the Myth's guild. Such a amazing easter egg, especially along with the examine text.

I played RS as like... a LITTLE kid. Came back like 5 years ago to RS3. I missed the reign of Woox, but his mythos is TRULY legendary and he is still mentioned often in the conversation of gamechanging pvmers.

VERY nice video ! Woox reminds me of evil lucario and what he's doing with runescape 3, truly 2 legendary players that are doing amazing things !

Tbh i've always thought oh theres nobody ever gonna be coming close to legendary status or popularity as zezima but tbh Woox is getting up there.

I just smoked all my grandmas heart medication and am watching kempq RuneScape videos

The name Woox really starts to sound weird after hearing it 40+ times in a video. I've been watching woox since preeoc and I'm so happy to see these old names stay relevant in a game that just keeps on growing

Names in RS history: Zezima, Woox

Some people are just born different, woox is truly an extraordinary human being

Great video. Who doesn't love Woox? I remember the first video i saw and I just thought "who is this guy??" Little did we know a legend was in the making.

This was such an amazing video to reminisce on

Crazy that you didn't even get to his dominance in King of the Skill or how we have the phrase "Woox didn't do the inferno with no supplies for you to die with brews in your inventory."

Okay but the donning of the cape is about as epic as that gets. Nerdy af, yet immensely cool at the same time

You covered a lot of big stuff here, but wasn't he also the first to solo raids 1? I distinctly remember watching his stream and he got a TBow on that run. Maybe it was the first no death solo or something. Other have mentioned his Legendary nex content from RS3 as well. The guy is an absolute treasure to the community and I'm glad he still is so active.

Back in the day everyone knew zezima, now. Everyone knows Woox

Absolutely LEGENDARY! I still revere this an as a gaming god and probably always will, much deserved documentary imo. Someone should make a longer one and breakdown every achievement(how he did it/why it was thought impossible at the time).

This was gold Kemp keep up the grate work

That corp clip brings back memories. I miss my 2009 to 2012 rs. The irony is 2007 is adding a bunch of content from that era that mimics what we had then.

Very nice indepth video of edging out Woox. However, I am surprised you did not include the fact that Jagex put a statue of him in the game.

It's great that he did all sorts of feats both in osrs and rs3. Pretty sure he was part of the first team to duo Vorago back in the early days of the boss.

This is by far the best osrs channel… thx kempq

A lot of legendary players. I loved this guy channel

Mod Ash gave out 10k for that. That’s actually insane. We love Mod Ash even more than before

OFC woox will be back.!!! this man was born to play this game, give the man some time to party IRL....

I remember when he first solo'd Corp back i was addicted to the game and loved playing, it was crazy. I managed to solo it eventually as well like others did but wasn't really efficient at it, did some to say could do it. used so much supplies per kill. It was a good challenge tho and lot of fun in those old corp days doing duos or trios hanging out in Mirc and vent or TeamSpeak

10:18 that high five into a handshake tho. Guess he's mortal after all

He is a legend that we will never forget, a hero within the world of Runescape

His ISP is legendary as well. Holy crap!

It was crazy when he first beat Corp. But when he did it with all those insane challenges. Ppl struggling to beat a boss and he does it without food lol. He's done so much cool stuff in the game

6:04 Born for PvM was another well known pvmer back then. Gained popularity for corp/nex videos and being part of the Godsword Set from Scratch series. Passed away recently from street racing

i think it's safe to say he already is one of , if not THE best rs/osrs player of all time

Would anybody please help me figure out the name of the music in his ending statement? It starts at around 13:30. Such a beautiful tune.

This is one of, if not the best KempQ video I've ever seen. Hats off to you KempQ, Woox is the greatest Scaper we will ever see.

I know it’s been said and I know the confrontation behind it but I’m sad you didn’t bring up the vorkath method. Mainly because I played this game in 2008 F2P and stopped shortly after and picked it back up on day a few years ago on a fresh account and after all the trial and error of playing the game without guides except for vorkath, Zulrah, and Corp I finally got “the walk” achievement and I’d love to learn more about his accomplishments

@6:05 woox AND born for pvm, (not WAS born for pvm), Born For PVM was a youtuber who played a lot with the runeshark guys (GSSFS). died early 2022 btw :(

I remember being in Amsterdam for a Pokemon Go event. Some pokestops had lures from a player with the name "WooxWon"

Love it, thanks for this

That duo fireball jutsu at 10:20 was clean

Crazy how Woox's claim to fame was that he was the first one to think of lowering Corp's stats before fighting him lmao, back then everyone just assumed his stats reset with his HP when you left, but it didn't really become public knowledge until early OSRS, I was in a smaller clan with some friends back then and we were some of the first people to figure out how he actually soloed Corp, we figured he was spamming SWH specs before the fight, he was on Lunars so he could check Corp's stats if he wanted to, and he went through several hammers during his solo grinds, something that would be hard to do if you're only hitting the 3-4 specs per fight, we figured he's going through far more than that per kc. We were soloing Corp not long after him, but he is indeed the guy that made it famous. The thing that really cemented him as a PvM legend was soloing Nex. Even to this day in OSRS that's almost impossible to do, only Port Khazard has done it and that was with a red x stall that got patched. In Nex's current state she has not been soloed yet which is insane.

Has anyone solved the braille (dot-23) clue on the maps from W00X's Crack the Clue 3?

Will never understand why RuneScape players accept every single sponsor they get. So cool to see your weekender

he also won king of the skill event november 2017

Just searched for KempQ on RU-vid while being subbed, forgot to check subscriptions lmao

Woox is perfect to host the Crack the Clue event. He's not just really good, he's creative about ways to beat stuff, etc

6:05, you read that completely wrong haha. Loved the video anyhow

nice last airbender reference in the intro. wonder how many people catched that

9:58 he was a god the moment he solod corp. I remember watching that video on upload like it was yesterday.

Woox will forever be the goat of osrs. Not only is he a literal pvm god hes super kind. Deserves it all hope he continues to catch Ws

I'm surprised you mentioned nothing about king of the skill, where he demonstrated insane mechanical skills and game knowledge as well

The amount we know about games now is mind blowing. All the digging into codes, figuring out patterns, learning to abuse in game mechanics, etc. It's so different than how we "broke" the games as kids.

great video but kept waiting for when you would mention "woox walking" too XD

Hearing the achievements of woox makes my so happy and I don’t know why. You can’t dislike woox he’s too awesome!

Woox is by far the best, but Zezima is the best childhood legend for this game. I remember seeing him once in game and I almost melted.

These types of games are what we need more of. It's difficult, insanely difficult to break the game and become OP, but, it's possible, though very few do it or try it because it's actual work, but notice you have the freedom to do it. Nowadays companies control too much of how they want players to play, the programming, the balance, it becomes stale quick. "Oh we don't want players to use this, do this or that here, let's just heavily script it" instead of "we need a plan for if X happens or players use this, that, etc"

Woox will not return, he hasnt left. I feel better knowing that he's out there tackling real world problems too, he's making it a better place for all of us.

The title of this video is quite relevant today, thanks woox for breaking the game

Kemp, at 6:04, you misinterpreted that comment. "Born for PVM" is the username of Mod Kieren's old RS2 account. I remember watching Kieren play alongside RuneShark leading up to EoC (to my knowledge, both Simon and James of RuneShark and Kieran quit when EoC came out). Kieren was also the one who conducted the interview.

i always loved Woox man, he gives us hope to try things lmfaooo!

I remember him completing the Dominion Tower with cabbages as a Jagex challenge

You love this guy

@kemp it’s absence makes the heart grow fonder

6:21 "when the world needed him the most, he vanished" x'D nice unexpected way to stay on the theme of the meme

I stopped playing runescape over 15 years ago, but it's cool knowing there some dude who is pretty well known playing rs. I invested too much time into that game getting 99 mining 84 smithing max level etc. I played when Santa hats and bunny ears were being dropped. And masks sold for 500k lol

5:25 RIP Born for PvM :(( I loved his videos back in the day.

I would have loved to have seen his blindfolded fight against the 6 yads or one of his custom inferno challenges in here too. Great video nonetheless

I remember when I first got into RuneScape, and I only heard stories of how scary hard corporeal beast was. So I did a quick RU-vid search and saw woox soloing him. I was shocked.

amazing story

He's live right now on twitch :3

10:20 That zoom in **Chef Kiss

When I was on twitch some time ago it was his last stream ever. Sad to see him go.

lol he reminds me of zezima. i remember when i was like 10 years old i went to lumby and accidentally ran into easily 200 people crowding around zezima and i had no idea what was going on. i didn’t even know who he was at the time. it blew my mind how many people were following him around so i did too out of pure curiosity lol.

We all love Woox, but can you do a video like this for Rendi?

Every game needs a woox16

The Crack the clue event will be a good challenge, I'm excited

6:04 Audio was wrong, he stated, woox and born for Pvm, Born For PvM was famous content creator back in the day that also quit, he was the guy who interviewed woox.

I still think Woox displaying absolute dominion over the Dominion Tower back in the day, by "beating" it with an inventory of cabbages, is still the most impressive feat in my opinion. Sure, it's technically easier than Inferno, but the video also had a killer soundtrack.

Can't wait for the random upload of Woox completing Tombs of Amascut 600 lvl invocation raid solo

Can't belive you didn't mention all the things you said but aswell with only flowers eg corp an jad but yo keep up epic work fam

Woox needs to move into the pvp scene too

Yeah, you just shown his greatness without even mentioning the 6 yads challenge.

Every runescape players dream: Mod Ash, Mod Kieren...and Mod Woox working side by side. The triple threat.

Rest in peace Born ❤️

That intro is legendary

Wooxs boss achievements are so so insane. Watched him beat inferno live. Was so hype and cool.
