Sarachnis isn't a mechanically complex boss, but she has enough unique attacks to punish unprepared players. Here's what to RuneScape gold look out for:
Basic Attacks – Sarachnis uses both melee and ranged attacks. Keep Protect from Melee active to negate most incoming damage.
Web Attack – Every four standard attacks, she launches a sticky web that can root you in place. If you're immobilised, keep calm and eat food if needed.
Prayer-Piercing Hits – Occasionally, her ranged attack will hit through protection prayers, so bring some ranged defence and food for safety.
Minion Spawns – At around half health, Sarachnis summons two spiderlings:
One uses Magic
One uses Melee
These don't have high defence, but they can quickly overwhelm you if left alive. Kill them immediately before resuming DPS on Sarachnis.
Floor Webs – She sometimes weaves the ground, restricting your movement. Just reposition carefully and avoid being trapped while tanking damage.
Step-by-Step Kill Method
Prayer Setup – Start the fight with Protect from Melee active. If your gear is weaker, you may consider Protect from Ranged, but melee protection is generally safer.
Engage the Boss – Begin DPS with your main melee weapon (Osmumten's Fang is highly recommended for accuracy).
Deal with Minions – As soon as Sarachnis spawns her spiderlings, switch targets immediately and kill them. Ignoring them can lead to stacked damage and interruptions.
Manage Resources – Drink Prayer potions when needed
Use food sparingly until you're healthier
Keep your DPS high to shorten the fight and reduce overall damage taken
Finishing the Kill – Once the spiderlings are down, resume focus on Sarachnis. Stay aggressive, and she'll go down quickly.
Loot Table & Profit
Sarachnis is known for consistent mid-level profits and solid supplies. Here are some example drops from a short session:
Kill 1 – Dragon bones (~39k RuneScape gold)
Kill 2 – Rune platebody (~38k GP)
Kill 3 – Mithril arrows (low value)
Kill 4 – Cosmic runes (~10–15k GP)
Kill 5 – Kharidian silk (~18k GP)
While not every drop will be a jackpot, Sarachnis consistently provides mid-value loot like rune items, seeds, herbs, and runes-perfect for stacking steady GP while training combat.
Why Fight Sarachnis?
Mid-Tier Bossing Experience – She's a step up from Obor or Bryophyta, giving you a taste of real boss mechanics without being overwhelming.
Consistent OSRS GP – Great for players who want a steady income rather than risky high-level bossing.
Combat Training – Frequent fights with minions help sharpen your multitasking and DPS management skills.
Final Tips
Always kill spiderlings immediately to avoid unnecessary damage.
Bring a couple of extra Prayer potions if your DPS is on the lower side.
Avoid getting trapped in cheap OSRS GP webs by staying aware of her animations. Keep your DPS high-Sarachnis is easiest when you shorten the fight.
