However, before you dive into the OSRS Araxyte Boss fight, we suggest getting some OSRS gold for yourself.
Arachnophobes Beware: Entry Requirements
Before you confront this eight-legged monstrosity, ensure you are Slayer Level 92. You’ll need a seasoned Slayer level to take on Araxxor. Thankfully, killing lesser Araxytes during Slayer tasks also counts.

All About Arachnid Attacks
This fight is a melee-focused dance with a deadly dance partner. Expect Araxxor to unleash a flurry of attacks, including:
- Venomous Acid: Dodge these acidic attacks to avoid taking nasty venom damage.
- Ferocious Fangs: Araxxor’s razor-sharp fangs pack a punch. Utilize effective prayer switching to mitigate damage.
- Minions on the Move: Watch for the smaller spider minions that spawn during the fight.
Reaping the Rewards: Spoils of the OSRS Araxyte
Conquering Araxxor is not just about bragging rights. You’ll be rewarded with a treasure trove of goodies, categorized as untradeable, consumable, and unique equipment.
Untradeable Treasures
- Araxyte Head: Craft this head into a fearsome Slayer Helmet attachment, a true mark of your arachnid conquest.
- Araxyte Pet: There’s a rare chance to snag a pet spider companion – a creepy-cute addition to your collection.
- Jar of Venom: This uncommon cosmetic item showcases a venom-filled jar, a conversation starter for any adventurer.
Consumables for Continued Crawling
- Araxyte Venom Gland: In a pinch, this consumable deals venom damage while curing you of venom and granting temporary immunity.
- Extended Anti-venom+ Potion (New): Craft this new Herblore potion (Level XX required) to extend your venom immunity beyond the standard Anti-venom+ potion.
- Teleport Scrolls: These scrolls provide a convenient way to return to Araxxor’s lair for repeat battles.
Unique Equipment: Arms and Armor Fit for a Slayer
- Aranea Boots: Crafted from Araxxor’s remains, these boots offer decent stats and a chance to grant occasional immunity to spider webs – handy for various encounters.
- Noxious Halberd: This halberd boasts impressive DPS, a 5-tick attack speed, and a chance to inflict venom on your target. Its special attack offers utility by curing poison/venom and boosting your next halberd attack’s minimum hit.
- Amulet of Rancor: The new king of melee amulets, the Amulet of Rancor surpasses the Amulet of Torture in terms of stats. It requires 90 Hitpoints to wear. Irons can create it by attaching an untradeable drop from Araxxor to an Amulet of Torture (requiring an 80s Crafting level).
