Contents

Stats and numbers

  • Gnomonkey estimates Araxxor gives about 70k Slayer XP an hour in max gear, and about 65k with bank trips, which he says is better than any other Slayer boss; he notes Hydra is only about 30k XP an hour.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says he was so excited for Araxxor but was pretty disappointed after hearing it would not be the same Araxxor as RS3 and would be a toned-down Slayer boss.2
  • Gnomonkey says that because Araxxor is a Slayer boss he hopes the fight keeps its interesting pieces rather than being watered down for mid-level players.3
  • In the video description Gnomonkey calls Araxxor a very easy Slayer boss, easier than the recently released Tormented Demons, and calls it a let down: basically a copy-pasted low level spider boss with a 92 Slayer requirement, Spindel.4
  • Gnomonkey considers Araxxor somewhere in the middle of existing Slayer bosses: not complex and not interesting, and says Cerberus is honestly a better boss fight and the growth tests are more interesting.5
  • Gnomonkey says the ranged spiders currently have huge negatives for killing them, so there is no reason to do so, and suggests they leave a trail of acid or something that makes you want to deal with them.6
  • Gnomonkey says the intended risk-reward of killing or not killing eggs does not really exist, since you always kill it the same way at any gear or skill level.7
  • Gnomonkey says that if it were a 75 Slayer boss that would be fine, and that the 92 Slayer requirement is what makes it not great.1
  • Gnomonkey says Araxxor is honestly probably worth killing just for the Slayer XP.1

Trivia

  • Gnomonkey credits the Araxxor footage to EvilLucario, whom he calls the Woox of RS3, who has been playing OSRS in a GIM team.2
