GingerBeardie was in the final stages of the Tzkal-Zuk encounter in Old School RuneScape at the seven-hour mark of his November 25 broadcast. After successfully landing the killing blow, the content creator joyfully exclaimed, stating that he will not be returning to the Inferno:

"Yes! Let's f***ing go, man! I'm f***ing done with this f***ing s**thole place, man! I swear to god, I'm f***ing done! I ain't f***ing coming back, bruv! I am never coming back!"

But the streamer appeared dazed right after, before briefly losing consciousness and landing his face against the desk.

"Thank you, Callum. Bro, I'm not going to lie, man. I can't celebrate this. I have literally f***ing... I have all the f***ing blood. Thanks, Callum. Have a good one, bro. Peace."

He then began conversing with his Twitch audience and expressed his disbelief at fainting during the live stream. He stated:

"Holy f**k, chat. What the f**k just happened, bro? What the f**k just happened, lads? Let me unpause the alerts. Like, guys, I'm not joking. I literally just smashed my f***ing... f**k off, listen, f**k you bruv! Holy f**k, man!"
