This Pro Viego Jungle Path is a leashless Raptor start that focuses on a full clear. Unlock (Q) BLADE OF THE RUINED KING at level one and after clearing Raptors go ahead and unlock (W) SPECTRAL MAW. The great area of effect from (Q) BLADE OF THE RUINED KING is what allows you to easily kill Krugs at level two and then do the Red Brambleback next. Now you'll be level three, unlocking (E) HARROWED PATH. Proceed to kill Murk Wolves, Blue Buff and the Gromp. At level four you will upgrade (Q) BLADE OF THE RUINED KING and head over to the river to clear the Rift Scuttler. Having the Red Buff early on improves the initial clear speed but the Red Buff slowly starts wearing off when this clear is complete. This is why you'll rush to kill the Rift Scuttler and try to duel with the enemy jungler or gank a lane while the Red Buff is still active as it increases your chances of success.
This Viego Jungle clear can adapt to many situations which makes it very popular on Viego. If you'd like to gank bot/top lane at level three, path Raptors → Red Brambleback → Krugs → Gank instead.

Wild Rift VIEGO Video
Watch here!Once ruler of a long-lost kingdom, Viego perished over a thousand years ago when his attempt to bring his wife back from the dead triggered the magical catastrophe known as the Ruination. Transformed into a powerful, unliving wraith tortured by an obsessive longing for his centuries-dead queen, Viego now stands as the Ruined King, controlling the deadly Harrowings as he scours Runeterra for anything that might one day restore her, and destroying all in his path as the Black Mist pours endlessly from his cruel, broken heart.
