Scurrius, The Rat Boss is INSANE XP! - OSRS Guide/Info

Wtf is... haytch p?

Maikeru, I’ve got to ask man, I know you’ve got way more time invested in RS3, an I know OSRS is still relatively new to you. But which game do you think is your “favourite” or at least which one is more fun to play? I’ve been thinking of trying to get back into RS but can’t decide which one to play?

Are you scurrius!?

I remember killing rats with a black 2hsword and burying bones in rs classic.

I tried this boss at level 71 combat, tried melee with 60 attack and 60 strength, and with iban's staff with 66 magic. I could not keep up with him, I got the prayer swaps well, but the amount of healing he does is very hard to out damage at my current accuracy for both styles. I killed him once out of 3 attempts it was with melee.

I like it! Good review

How does grouping work against this boss? Will everyone get the loot or only one player?

I think it's bad that this boss is such good XP for so little requirements

I would like a gear suggestion for low mid lvl players

what's that prayer plugin for runelite? t

For GIM the value of this boss seems INSANE ngl

Maikeru, I always watched your guides when i played rs3, I'm super happy to see you making osrs content! :D
Please continue! :)

Is it F2P?

Honestly one of the best osrs boss releases. They nailed the bosses mechanics for mid level, made it rewarding without flooding the game with loot and devaluing other items. They also made new weapons that dont have any power creep, or effect the game much. Very, very well done.

Got just under 120kc on the 1def pure. I think I was getting maybe 135k str exp /hr using a scythe.

IT IS INSANE. Hitting 70’s and 80’s consistent

Love your content style, and absolutely chuffed that you've been sticking it out and enjoying old school. Can't wait to see vids like this for all the new Varlamore content coming up!

Can anyone tell me what happens in you die in the arena ? Got a 1def pure account was going to try it out

This was a very useful guide. Would love to see more content like this for other bosses.

Is it f2p?

Thanks man! This was a helpful video

The best strat for you now if you are banking on XP is a mass. Hit at least 30 damage. It rolls deopls for everyone. I got 12 spines in 200 kills. No pet but thats only in solo.

The only boss ive done in osrs is barrows and a few dagannoth rex kills and this is so fun for me
I love the mechanics

Love the video. What plug-in do you use to rearrange your prayers like that in the interface?? Been looking for some time now!

So glad you're making OSRS videos! I loved your RS3 content when I played, and I want you to stay here now haha

Tbh scurrius is perfect for the mood I'm in currently with osrs. It is extremely chill yet engaging. I am the type that genuinely gets drained by bosses that require a lot of effort and have a lot of banking. Even before scurrius I had started preferring bosses that I only had to bank at a few times an hour. This is why I have 13k crazy archaeologist kc. I also feel that scurrius does a much better job than bosses like DKs for teaching the player prayer flicking, due to the stakes being low and the punishment for failure low you are more liable to actually get down the proper timing of perfectly flicking an attack. As well I am weirdly enamored by the non drop table, due to the drops mainly being supplies and alchables I am not as irritated when I'm killing him. Many bosses when rng does it's thing it can be irritating to be withheld a drop that you are due, but with scurrius' drops it is pretty much just paying for your time. Overall it is a great bridge for endgame content while also being a breath of fresh air to those of us with more time in the game.

After 83kc and no spine, I could care less about this boss lmao

Is the dragon Warhammer good here?

Can you get the PET on a Private Instance?

You can max over 200k str xp a hr at nmz with dharocks...you can get 125k with rapier and decent str gear lol

I was a rs3 player and just now i'm moving over to osrs, so glad you're making content for osrs! I used to watch all your rs3 videos.

how does a rat use magic, whats the logic there lol

Best in slot melee xp is probably still 1hp dharok nmz though I think

I can’t wait to lose my hardcore status to this rat

No wonder why Prayer pots are going up

Good vid!

Started playing OSRS when you did coming from RS3. I love your content on RS3 so keep it coming here for OSRS too.

I tried him today, he’s actually pretty decent imo, I’m learning how to prayer flick and switch with him and already got 7+ spines in like 115kc. The runes and arrows are nice for selling and once you get used to his mechanics u can stay down there for a while just grinding for lamps and stuff to sell/alch

I haven't played in awhile but been debating hopping in to try for that pet tbh

you are getting 35k individually on each attack style per hour. doesn't make it 120 or 130k an hour per attack style. this method is shit

thanks

I DONT FUCKING UNDERSTAND BOSSES IN OSRS............. no matter if i follow the guilds i always get insane damage taken and i eat my whole inv in 3 min WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

Great guide

Was never really a big pvmer on rs3 but I wanna try on OSRS as a new old schooler, would this boss be the first go to or would that be giant mole?

What’s the best gear and weapons and like accessory for pure defense 1

Maikeru on osrs??? nice

Thing got like 1500 hp tf!

ive killed him 80 times and no spine wtf jagex hates me

liquidated my main and just started a new, 99 crafting and max poh then quests and just started training melee. 55 attack and strength and going to farming this boss for pet and the xp up to around 70/ until warriors guild for defender, super chill boss with the right amount of engagement. glad they added a low to mid level training boss. very good idea.

Yeahhh i’ma definetly fighting this boss till I can wield my fang then farming this and vorkath till I get all uniques
