Dimly lit industrial gaming workshop with exposed pipework and monitors

Est. 2019 — Spitalfields, London

Raid logs from the workshop floor.

Boss-by-boss strategy, frame-timed parses and hardware teardowns for players who treat progression like engineering. No filler, no sponsored fluff.

A note from the founder

We built this in a converted garment factory, and it shows.

I started Crimson Raid Vanguard in 2019 after wiping on the same mechanic forty-one times and realising nobody had written it down properly. Everything here is tested on the pull, logged, and re-tested before it goes out.

The team is four writers and one very tired coffee machine, working out of 58B Hanbury Street. We publish because we play, not because a publisher paid us to.

— Marcus D., Founder & Lead Raid Analyst

"The Molten Foundry write-up got our ten-man past a three-week wall in a single reset. The add-priority table alone was worth the sub."
