Strategy

Main article: Araxxor/Strategies § Araxxi

Araxxi has access to most of the same attacks as Araxxor, but can also attack from all 3 sides of the Combat triangle regardless of Araxxor's starting form. She never moves from the centre of the platform. Araxxi takes on the same rage level as Araxxor except for any rage contributed by acid.

When her targets are not within melee distance, she will use either magic or ranged, depending on her target's overhead prayer. These drain overload timers and inflict poison, respectively. The magic attack travels much faster than the ranged attack. She will switch to the other style as soon as she detects her current attack is being protected against. She always attacks with magic by default if the player does not use a protection prayer, only using ranged if they pray against magic. When her target is in melee range, Araxxi uses magic and melee attacks randomly with no regard to prayers. Araxxi's melee attack does not cause a bleed effect.

Araxxi also has access to all but 2 of Araxxor's special attacks: egg bombs and acidic spiders. Instead of the latter, Araxxi has the ability to absorb the remaining acid to increase her rage. Like Araxxor, the special attacks available to her are dependent on the open paths. At 50,000 life points, Araxxi stops using special attacks but her rage will gradually increase. At 25,000 life points (35,000 in duo), Araxxi unleashes a black sludge core that bounces around, eventually targeting and damaging players. Her autoattacks begin increasing her rage by 5% for each one she performs. Additionally, her targets immediately have their adrenaline subtracted by 50% (e.g. 72% adrenaline becomes 22%).

Drops

Drop rates estimated based on 93,549 samples from the Drop Log Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Araxxi kill is worth 501,353 coins.

When Araxxi is killed, her corpse remains and acts as a reward coffer to collect the drops. Having tier 4 luck increases the chances of obtaining unique rewards from Araxxi's corpse. The ring may be put on after killing but prior to looting.

The drop table will always roll on three tables; 100%, food/potions and main table drop once. Effigies from Araxxi are considered a primary drop. A roll will also be made on pets (the araxyte pet itself and then eggs if eligible), leg pieces and "Add-on" drops. These three drops are all tertiary drops, so it is possible to obtain all three from one kill, although exceedingly rare.

Araxxi's corpse offers the same mechanics as the Queen Black Dragon's reward chest, where rewards may be collected into the inventory, sent straight to the bank, or be abandoned. Players without an araxyte pet also have the option of sacrificing all of their drops for a second chance at the pet. Gambling your rewards will double the drop rate of the pet, effectively tripling the original drop rate. This feature is removed once the player obtains the pet, either normally or through gambling.

The current rage level only affects the drop rate of the araxyte pheromone and the araxyte pet.

Guaranteed drops

Araxxi's body will always contain araxyte arrows, unless a pheromone, triskelion fragment, or effigy is obtained, which replaces them.

	Item	Quantity	Rarity	GE price	High Alch
	Araxyte pheromone	1	1/50–1/35	1,199,719	60

Charms

When charms are rewarded, 10–20 charms of a single type are rewarded at a time. The template below doesn't support varying number of charms, so it uses 15 as an average.

Nothing	15	15	15	15
5–7%	6–8%	7–9%	38–42%	37–41%
Represents a 90% confidence range based on a sample of 1,367 kills. 15 items are dropped at a time. Add data to the log (requires JavaScript).

Weapon add-on scenarios

The combat style Araxxor uses affects the drop rate of the weapon-specific parts that Araxxi drops. As each part has a different inherent value, this also changes the effective average loot value per kill. The following information applies to kills in solo mode:

Player combat style	Araxxor combat style	Increased droprate (1/240 chance)		Regular droprate (1/480 chance)	Approximate value of major drops per kill
Melee	Range (green-tipped)		Araxxi's web	Araxxi's fang, Araxxi's eye	2,928,887
Ranged	Magic (blue-tipped)		Araxxi's eye	Araxxi's fang, Araxxi's web	2,921,585
Magic	Melee (red-tipped)		Araxxi's fang	Araxxi's eye, Araxxi's web	2,961,114
Necromancy	Random	See above		See above	See above

• After killing Araxxi, the Adventurer's Log will say: "I killed a spinner of death, Araxxi." or after killing Araxxi several times, it will say: "I killed X Araxxis."
• When examining corpse, the examine text says "Smells like rewards." This is the same text as the chest in The Barrows: Rise of the Six.
• The development name of Araxxi is "spider boss".
• As of 1 February 2018, the highest kill count for this boss was 34,602 kills.
  • As of 13 December 2018, this record remains unchanged.
• Araxxi, along with Vorago, Beastmaster Durzag, Solak, The Twin Furies, and Vindicta are the only bosses to offer multiple pet drops.
• Araxxi, along with the Memory of Nomad, are the only monsters to drop a varied amount of charms.
• Until an update that fixed the bug in 2020, using a luck enhancer at Araxxi doubled the chance of rare drops.
