Old School RuneScape Brings Back Araxxor, The Venomous Villain!

Ready to face some of the most thrilling challenges in Old School RuneScape? The game's latest update introduces the formidable eight-legged foe, Araxxor, making a chilling return. Originally debuting in RuneScape a decade ago, this venomous villain has now crept into Old School RuneScape, ready to test your mettle.

Meet Araxxor, The Newest Face In Old School RuneScape

Venture into the eerie swamps of Morytania, and you might encounter Araxxor, a giant spider that lives up to its terrifying reputation. Accompanied by swarms of araxxytes, this beast fiercely guards its nest, making your approach anything but easy. With venomous acid and massive fangs, Araxxor is a formidable opponent, challenging even the bravest adventurers. Get a closer look at this menacing creature in Old School RuneScape:

If you manage to conquer Araxxor, the rewards are well worth the battle. You can claim the Noxious Halberd, an ultimate weapon, and the Amulet of Rancour, now considered the best-in-slot. For those who appreciate unique companions, the Araxxor pet is also up for grabs.

Araxxor marks a significant addition to Old School RuneScape as the first Slayer Boss introduced since 2019, following the Alchemical Hydra. This update brings exciting new challenges that both seasoned players and newcomers will enjoy.

As Old School RuneScape celebrates its 10th anniversary, anticipate the introduction of the first-ever new skill later this year. Don't miss out on the action—download the game from the Google Play Store and gear up for these exciting updates!
