Old School RuneScape is about to make you fear spiders with the return of Araxxor

  • Old School RuneScape has remastered another fan-favorite boss battle, Araxxor
  • This creepy, crawly spider lives in Morytania
  • Take him and his brood of Araxxytes out to clean out the nest

Old School RuneScape lives up to its reputation once again with its fantastic reimagining of the classic MMORPG. And the latest boss to get a makeover is the creepy crawler, Araxxor. Yes, keep your arachnophobia at bay because this is one melee-focused encounter you don't want to get stuck in.

You will explore the murky swamps of Morytania, where Araxxor has built his nest. In this reimagined solo adventure, you will delve into the depths of Araxxor's home, battling his brood of Araxxytes to finally silence this giant monstrosity once and for all.

And the rewards, thankfully, are worth it. You can pick up a new weapon with the Noxious Halberd, the Amulet of Rancour, and even a slithering (but cute) Araxxor as a pet.
