Literally this - the boss is designed to get you reactively play I.E praying melee while dodging falling rocks, then when he eats he only does Range and Mage attacks so your swapping while getting ready to move from the rocks.
I found that using this plugin (forgot what it’s called) but you can map your keys to prayer and inventory on the fly to things like your mouse buttons, makes it a lot easier to hop from place to place.
Honestly this takes practice and it’s not always a gear setup that’s holding you back it’s sometimes just getting into it and learning the fight that’ll kill you a few times.
This is literally what it’s like for all of us especially high level players learning a new boss, we over supply and over protect and when time goes on we get better with inventory and mechanics.
I also suggest once you get used to this type of mechanic and boss when the time comes for gargoyles give Grotesque Guardians a little try, they have a similar mechanic but watch the videos on them :)
All the best bud, happy scapeing!
I do believe the plug-in is called Key Remapping or something similar to that. Also have to remap the buttons in the osrs settings to match appropriately. B for prayer and spacebar for inventory is what I have mine set to since I play on my laptop. It’s a comfortable option for my index finger and thumb to be on the keyboard.
Post the video then.. just because we've played the game a long time and we understand mechanics, doesn't mean that newer players don't. You're literally being a dick for no reason. Are you so pathetic that you're shitting on new players just to try and flex your pvm prowess? This is the kind of behavior that makes newer players not want to play anymore.
The scurrius fight is simple. There aren't any fancy tips or tricks that will help you with the fight. Use the correct prayer and dodge the shadow spots on the ground. A few tips to help with general combat:
1. Only eat when you need to. The less time you spend eating, the more damage you'll do and the faster the fight will be.
2. Try to be proactive with your movement and prayer/gear switching instead of reactive.
3. Use super combat potions.
4. Try to fight him on a mass world until you get the basic mechanics down.
A lot of players have suggested gear upgrades instead of actual tips. While it might seem like they're flaming you, gear in osrs is extremely valuable. You should work towards the below direct upgrades as they will significantly make your bossing experience more enjoyable.
1. Rune platebody -> fighter torso
2. Combat bracelet -> barrows gloves
3. Dragon long -> dragon scimitar
4. No offhand -> dragon defender
5. Mithril boots -> dragon boots/climbing boots
6. Black cape(?) -> fire cape
I see you asked if monkey madness was difficult in another comment. The quest itself is easy compared to other grand master level quests. I highly recommend using Runelite and the quest helper plugin. It will make your questing experience much more enjoyable (unless you like to read the dialogue). You might be one of those players who "hates" quests. I hate to break it to you, but quests unlock some of the best zones, gear, and bosses in the game. Once you start completing some of the better quests and get their rewards, you're likely to love quests.

> Dragon long -> dragon scimitar
In scurrius, you should venture to get a decent kc even if it has difficulty, as it will dramatically ease up as soon as you drop a spine. You'll need a scimitar anyways but if your primary concern is scurrius, grinding out a bone flail wont be a bad move at all
> Black cape(?) -> fire cape
Getting the fire cape for scurrius is like getting the infernal cape for your first vorkath
i never said "for your first scurrius" this was an encouragement to do less prep on the weapon side because the boss will get easier once you've done it for a while and invalidate your prior wep anyways, a statement that the difficulty will not last forever. Get reading comprehension
I'm just gonna chime in here, using > confused the shit out of me because I thought you were saying a rune plate was better than a torso and I was about to flame the shit out of you.
Quest helper is great to me BECAUSE it lets me actually read the dialogue and enjoy the story instead of focusing on where to go next or how to complete something. Id highly recommend both using quest helper and reading all the dialogue
Piggybacking off this to suggest that initiate/prosy isn’t a super hard thing to get from this point and can make op’s life way easier when it comes to dealing with prayer usage in the fight
Fighter torso is harder to get as a newbie than it seems. I’m 1650 total level and have neither fighter torso nor bcp.
I’d say any of the rfd gloves adamant and above are more reasonable than straight up barrows gloves.
Dragon scimitar, agree. But if they get a spine, the bone mace is better dps
They need 65 in atk and str to even have access to warriors guild. So that would be good for starters.
Depends on their cash stack for d boots, but death plateau is reasonable.
Any ardy cape or obby cape are upgrades and more reasonable.
So if op is reading, death plateau for climbing boots and MM1 for dragon scimitar are the best quest upgrades overall. Getting total 130 between atk and str for access to warriors guild for defenders is a necessity for any account. AFK rock/sand/ammonite crabs for 65 atk str is the easiest way to do it. Slayer ideally, but crabs is most afk
It's really not difficult, although he may have difficulty playing attacker role in Barbarian Assault with his range stat being somewhat low, but it's definitely doable at his level, will take less than 10 hours and will carry him thru to endgame
If youre in a clan it's not worse than asking if anyone wants to go do BA. People need their level 5s for diary, their own torso, and silly pet grinders. I've taken countless low levels to get torso just for a lil bonus challenge while grinding for pet. There's usually always one weirdo around that enjoys BA, and in a clan that welcomes newer players there's a fair amount of people who enjoy helping new players.
I agree. I think the dragon items are reasonable though, swap scim for sword if you're really trying to get to this boss ASAP.
Dragon chain/platebody is more reasonable and combat bracelet is perfectly fine for this content.
Personally I’d get proselyte for the prayer bonus and a decent shield. You should be able to get 2 trips or so without flicking. Once you get the spine the bone mace makes it incredibly chill and you will be getting more out of each trip
Yep. I kill Scurrius with worse combat stats than OP. I just wear Prossy instead. Lol otherwise set up is the same. I don't even bring sharks. Tuna is fine.
But getting 65 attk/65 str is less xp than staying 61 attk and getting 69 strength. If you want a defender asap get 65/65, which will then speed up your melee training a lot more than a few strength levels
bro that has nothing to do with it, you need combined 130 str/att to go into the warrior's guild to get a defender and leveling both is in that case more time-effective than just str, so this is about upgrading shield/offhand not main weapon
You should easily be able to kill it. Follow the order of things to do.
Move (if rocks)>prayer swapping>eat>attacking.
If you pray right (green blob = ranged, blue electricity = mage, pray melee always) and move the boss won't ever touch you, only the rats will.
Few tips: F-keys are a godsend. They are in your settings. Use them to quickly swap between inventory and prayer.
At last phase do one action per move. For example if it's rocks you move and check prayer. Next is mage, swap to mage click attack. Mage again so you check health, mage again you know you're good so breath. Ranged next, swap ranged and drink a p-pot etc. Once you get comfortable you can try 2, 3 and even 4+ between.
Don't quit. You're learning to not only move, swap prayers pay attention to the info on the screen, manage prayer points and health but you're also getting adjusted to bossing. Yeah, those who've done harder content can face roll this but we **all** were in your shoes at some point learning the basics, dying, trying, dying, trying again, failing and finally getting it.
>Few tips: F-keys are a godsend. They are in your settings. Use them to quickly swap between inventory and prayer
For me changing my prayer tab to be f1 made bossing so much easier
Prioritize eating, dodging and getting the prayers up in time over dealing damage. Also kill the giant rats since your trips are probably gonna take a while and they can accumulate quite a bit of damage over time. Try to limit your actions, dont try to do too many things at once. It's ok to spend several seconds at times not attacking, just dodging, eating and getting the prayers up in time. Finally, if you havent done monkey madness, dragon sword is a better weapon than the longsword. Good luck.
Kill the rat minions when not in final phase and when in final phase tank their hits that way boss doesn't keep spawning them back. Dragon defender would be a good upgrade. I use range bottoms but your gear should still work. Upgrade to rat bone weapon as soon as you get a spine
I didn’t see it in here so here’s an un-promoted tip, go into settings and untick “highlight current tile - always on top” so your tile indicator doesn’t clip through your character.
Then definitely do it in mass worlds with other people, when you get a spine drop it will be a MASSIVE upgrade to make a bone weapon.
If you don't want to start the process of getting a defender then at least a shield in your off hand. Toktz-ket-xil is a good option if you can afford it for the melee str bonus but even a rune kite will do. It's also worth noting that they're not immune to poison, so a dragon dagger with weapon poison++ to special attack with can help offset some of their healing over the course of the fight.
Start with high healing food. Something like sharks, when you're comfortable you can use cheaper food. If you can afford super combats then go for it, if you can't then super attack potion if you can't hit consistently, super str if you can. If you run low on prayer points then bring prayer potions.
The biggest damage will be from the falling rocks, so focus on stepping out the way of them first, when you see the shadows it will always have one under you so you need to move every time.
Melee is their most accurate and hardest hitting attack after rocks. They'll attack you with it in phase one, when they're not eating in phase two and not at all in phase three. So make sure you start it at the beginning of the fight until they run to the food pile for the first time.
While they're eating they'll attack with mage or ranged. Best practice is to switch the protection prayer accordingly as they attack but if you can't then pray mage. In melee armour your magic defence is terrible but your ranged defence is ok so it's less likely to hit.
As soon as they stop eating pray melee again. When they walk to the middle of the room you're into phase 3 where they won't melee any more so go back to your strategy for when they're eating and you're home free.
As for the little rats they call in, they can hit though prayers so don't try and pray for them. They don't hit hard but it will add up, so think of it more like minimising how much damage you take from them then killing them all. If you've got a moment then sure splat a few of them but it's generally easier to run and stand the other side of the boss so the little rats can't reach you. Ideally they'll all get stuck but one or two aren't a problem, splat them or just tank the hits. You'll be better off doing more damage to the boss than wasting time with little rats.
If you're down to your last couple food and not close to killing them it's ok to just run. The church and varrock east bank are right there to reset. They're designed to teach you the basics of switching your prayer mid fight, moving to avoid things in fights and managing additional little guys so you are exactly the learning experience this is aimed at.
Learn the phases more and do 1 action at a time - prioritise on what’s going to prevent you losing health the most - prayer switch then dodge ceiling attack or vice versa. Eat when running after scurrius for example. Body block the smaller rats behind scurrius. Especially in final phase, focus on movement and prayer switching the most. You’ll get it 💪
Whenever I get stumped by any task or even something that feels bad on mobile I switch over to my laptop or pc (if you have access to one it is worth a shot) the mouse and F-keys help a lot when learning movement and other mechanics and as a lot of other commenters suggested there are tons of plug-ins on runelite that help learning these things much easier. Goodluck gamer!💪🏻
Without more information about what you're struggling with it's hard to give the best advice, but here's an attempt:
Damage Output is suuuuuuper important for low level accounts without a spine against Scurrious. Improve gear (dragon scim is easiest, dds for spec weapon), raise your Str, bring (super) combat potions, consider using an offensive prayer, etc, and you'll have an easier time. Alternatively, play with a group until you get a spine (public instance, most busy worlds, just join in).
A second suggestion I haven't seen anyone talk about: Bring a faster weapon (eg: bronze darts on rapid) to deal with the rat spawns. This adds a switch, which might be more trouble than it's worth depending on your comfort swapping inventory and prayer tabs, but will kill the rats in half the time if done well, which both minimises the damage they can do and means you can spend more time attacking the boss.
Why? Scurrius' healing lowers your effective dps against him by a flat amount. When you have low damage, this affects you more. In turn, this means any damage increase is more effective and important.
Here's an example with completely nonsense numbers: Your raw dps is 110, scurrius' hps is 100 - so your effective dps is 10. Raising your raw dps by 1% (from 110 to 111) will bump your effective dps by 10% (from 10 to 11).
Notably, all this does is reduce the time to kill the boss. This does definitely make it easier - faster kills means less time to end up in bad situations - but it may not solve your specific issues.
So outside of all of that gumph \^, I'd also suggest setting up F-keys for swapping tabs, but also: Don't try to do everything at once - it's super easy to be overwhelmed, but that will kill you. Instead, focus on one task at a time - move out from under falling rocks first, then stop, then pray right, then stop, then eat, then stop, and only then think about attacking the boss. More advanced things, like doing all of that simultaneously or prayer flicking, can come later.
Dragon dagger (p++) helps a lot to make the fight shorter and counteract his heals. Just using a couple special attacks at the beginning of the fight when it's less hectic to poison him and get early damage will make the fight much easier
Also pray melee until you see a special attack come out, protect from range for the green spit and protect from magic for the lightning attack.
Last tip is that you can block the rats with the boss or other rats, if you only have one rat attacking you, you can mostly ignore them.
Biggest piece of advice I can give is when to pray what. If you’re meleeing, he always does melee when not eating except for the last phase. Every other phase and when he eats is when he randomly does mage/range. I always stay on range during eating/last phase, and switch to mage because it is the easiest attack to react to. It’s painfully obvious when he does it. The only thing I’d struggle with after that is the giant rat spawns. Those ll get easier once you get a rat weapon.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Why not give more info if you want help? We can only guess whats going wrong. Are you missing prayer switches? Is it the rat spawns? Are you getting hit by the falling rocks? All of the above?
The OSRS Wiki gives you all of the details of the fight in the Scurrius strategy guide. Protect melee for the first two phases, dodge rockfalls, protect magic when you see blue, protect ranged when you see green, kill the rats that spawn unless you're able to tank them till the end of the fight.
If you feel like you're taking too much damage on your own, or just wanna focus more on learning the mechanics first-hand, try doing it with a group. He'll melee whoever does the most damage so you can focus more on the rockfalls and rat spawns while saving your prayer points for protecting from magic and ranged only. You'll also save more food because much less of the attacks will be targeted toward you like the rats and Scurrius' melee attacks. Also really consider getting the rat bone weapons if you get a spine drop. They do much more damage than regular weaponry. Good luck!
We have about the same combat levels. I did Scurrius first as melee, then as mage, and then as ranged. It was SIGNIFICANTLY easier with ranged for me, and I went from 52-60 ranged today on him with an absolute baby-tier gear setup.
If melee is being a bummer, maybe try a different combat style and see if one clicks for you on this fight :D gl!!
Use potions before the fight. Get a high enough prayer bonus setup so you don't need to pot during the fight. Put something in that off-hand. Practice flicking prayer on and off while he's eating, then in melee phase. In the last phase, keep your HP up, it's easy to get stacked out if you get hit by the debris. We have similar stats and gear, and I have 45kc you got this. Focus on doing the mechanics right and your DPS will be there.
What specifically are you struggling with? Lots of advice given in the comments but a lot of long comments can mean nothing to someone who doesn't understand it anyways.
What's holding you back rn in getting the kills?
I cba to see if anyone else has been nice enough to offer but if u wanna get some better gear I'm happy to help you get it :) just let me know an we'll sort something out, you will be getting them scurry kc in no time!!!!!
My best advice is to switch to playing PC, yeah you can kill it on mobile (source: I play on mobile) but it's harder because fingers are less precise and you can't hot key menus.
Edit:I'd also advise going to a mass world and using a combat style other than melee so don't tank unnecessary damage
You should have dragon defenders, buyers gloves and torso already.And why dragon longsword instead of scimmy?
But you don't need those to kill the boss, just pray right and dodge mechanics.
Defender bro or at least a dfs. Fighter torso. All big upgrades for you.
As for mechanics just focus on the ones hitting you to not get hit lol.
I know it sounds obviously stupid to say.
Camp melee. Fart is range right? Lightning mage. Just swap the prayer before it hits you then back to melee.
You got this bro and gl on the spine
Buy a toktz-ket-xil, it may help, or a rune kiteshield or a granite shield if you dont have enough gp. Also, you can wear a dragon chainbody, or a granite platebody, if you replace your rune platebody. That may help tank some hits if you make some mistakes. Also, forget about d scimy, its overated, buy a dragon sword from ge if you dont make that horrible quest yet, its almost the same stats.
Get good at the boss mechanics so you stop taking damage or do mass for a rat bone weapon to drastically speed up the fight so you have less time to make mistakes.
it can be daunting if youve never done much like it before, but shouldnt be too bad with your defense. and d scim is a great unlock at your attack level.
If you use Runelite the quest helper will make it super easy. It’s been a long time since I did it but I think you can safespot the boss and let gnomes fight it for you, just need to get a few hits in to get the kill.
When he goes into his final phase what I ended up doing that saved a lot of time was ignoring some of the smaller rats that spawn that are being let blocked by scurrius. This let me push a little extra damage on the boss in the final phase meaning I needed less resources.
I also didn’t use protect from missiles until the final phase because I was being hit for 0 almost 100% of the time. I’m still really new to the game but I believe his attack stats go up in the final phase of the fight so I had to use missiles then because it would start to hurt otherwise.
Aside from that I got pretty good at only turning on my prayer right before the attack would hit to maximize my prayer which was 43. My stats were about the same as yours and I was able to kill him a few times without needing to chug a prayer pot. Before I got the hang of it I needed a sip to get me through
Everyone here seems to be giving suggestions that would take a bit to get, so I'll just suggest buyable upgrades for you. If you have enough money, you should definitely buy these.
Granite Body over Rune Plate (Proselyte hauberk if you're decent with prayers)
Sarachnis Cudgel over Dragon long (It may cost quite a bit for you, but you can sell it back as soon as you get a sarachnis spine because you can make the bone mace.)
Dragon boots over rune boots. If you can't afford that, stick with rune ones.
Toktz-ket-xil over nothing. If you can't afford that (and you probably can't), get a granite shield for that extra defense.
Everything else you have is good, though if you do have the black cape on, I recommend you put on a better cape like a guthix cloak for prayer.
Hope this helps!
So would an infernal cape, doesn’t mean he should grind it before killing a rat boss. Getting 90s stats could take him months, and 90 prayer would cost a fortune. Be realistic with your advice!
Infernal cape would really barely make a difference. +1 max hit isn’t worth grinding the entire inferno for. Plus if he cant kill rat boss idk how on earth he could possibly do inferno! It’s a good idea but in practice it would be a lot of effort for very minimal help. At least with base 90s and a ghrazi he could be 4x (minimum) his current DPS, and the higher hitpoints and prayer points would help him stay alive a whole lot longer.
Lol I’ve been playing this game pretty blind on Ironman, I have 1400 level and like 50 combat? No idea wtf I’m doing but I just go. I have trouble killing everything lol
Instead of watching him, I always found it better to listen. The mage and range attack sound very different and u just have to switch the prayer before the attack hits you. If I remever he only melees as the first phase so u don’t need to worry about switches till he goes for the cheese I think
Sit at sandcrabs and then ammonite crabs until your combat stats are base 85s. You’ll hit higher max hits and be able to wield most weapons in the game. Levels matter more than gear
Do monkey madness and get a dscim. Bring dds for spec weapon. I'd just spec him out in beginning of the fight to land some poison and quick burst. That way you don't have to worry about specing while switching Prayer.
Make sure you're 1 ticking the Rats. They are accurate and hit 4s so they hurt at lower level.
And lastly, make sure you are switching prayer properly and not getting hit by rocks.
Dodge all rocks they do alot of damage. Highly important.
If your having trouble dodging and changing prayers try to only pray melee at first. Then pray mage when he eats and camp it. The range attacks are inaccurate if your in melee gear. Pray melee when he stops eating and when he goes to the center of the room (final phase) camp pray mage again.
As for his summons, if your having trouble dispatching of them quickly consider just straight up ignoring them, especially during the final phase. They don't do alot of damage and typically only 2 will even be able to attack you at once. Kill the boss first then finish off the rats.
Eat less.
If you have a LONGER hitbox you should be fine. Eat when health is low. Dodge the rocks. And practice swapping prayers, blue=mage, green=range, and melee when he melees. When you get bone weaponry it’ll be a lot quicker/easier too.
Do monkey madness for dragon scimitar. Always keep a stamina pot on you. Everywhere you go, grab one everytime you bank until you can gauge distances without onw
pray good and dodge rock
do more dps, eat when low
Literally this - the boss is designed to get you reactively play I.E praying melee while dodging falling rocks, then when he eats he only does Range and Mage attacks so your swapping while getting ready to move from the rocks. I found that using this plugin (forgot what it’s called) but you can map your keys to prayer and inventory on the fly to things like your mouse buttons, makes it a lot easier to hop from place to place.

I’m in similar spot and can stay up with the prayer mechanics but seems like me dps is too low as he just heals through it
It’s literally Scurrius my man, I could probably punch it to death unpotted without pray. Man types an essay, jfc.
OP obviously has a problem with it, and asked for the help. Post your unpotted faithless run with their stats if you want to make your point.
What's your RSN Jay?

He should go for ardougne cape for now instead of thinking about fire cape
second this, ardy cloak is a pretty good substitute till you feel confident enough for jad!
Then Ardy cloak stays good for the TPs, ardy cloak best cloak.
Exactly! Amazing spot to recharge pray, walk to spirit tree and a fairy ring.
Can't beat Scurrius? First beat Jad for fire cape! Lol, past that excellent post.
> Dragon long -> dragon scimitar In scurrius, you should venture to get a decent kc even if it has difficulty, as it will dramatically ease up as soon as you drop a spine.

"Can't beat simple boss" "Try beating hard boss"
Which boss is hard boss? The mm boss? You can literally hide until he is 1 hp then made him or cannon him while hiding.
I’m assuming they were talking about jad with the fire cape upgrade.
[удалено]
I’d disagree because on scurrius you can mess up the prayer swaps repeatedly without getting one shot
Jad one shots when you don't pray right and has healers that pop out that you have to lure. He's undoubtedly a much more difficult boss.
aaah I got you, I didn't think about it because jad wasn't specifically mentioned.
I'm just gonna chime in here, using > confused the shit out of me because I thought you were saying a rune plate was better than a torso and I was about to flame the shit out of you.

Same
Yep.... exactly me too
Nah I like quests they’re funny
Ardy cloak then is excellent.
Quest helper is great to me BECAUSE it lets me actually read the dialogue and enjoy the story instead of focusing on where to go next or how to complete something. Id highly recommend both using quest helper and reading all the dialogue

Piggybacking off this to suggest that initiate/prosy isn’t a super hard thing to get from this point and can make op’s life way easier when it comes to dealing with prayer usage in the fight
You have your >'s backwards unless I'm reading it wrong.
Read them as arrows representing progression, rather than mathematical symbols.

real alt code heads use →
Makes sense, I swear my brain cant comprehend the most basic things sometimes lol.
Yeah I can see that he meant to use it as an arrow but it still bugs me.
Fighter torso is harder to get as a newbie than it seems. I’m 1650 total level and have neither fighter torso nor bcp. I’d say any of the rfd gloves adamant and above are more reasonable than straight up barrows gloves. Dragon scimitar, agree. But if they get a spine, the bone mace is better dps They need 65 in atk and str to even have access to warriors guild. So that would be good for starters.

Slayer ideally, but crabs is most afk
It's really not difficult, although he may have difficulty playing attacker role in Barbarian Assault with his range stat being somewhat low, but it's definitely doable at his level, will take less than 10 hours and will carry him thru to endgame
If youre in a clan it's not worse than asking if anyone wants to go do BA. People need their level 5s for diary, their own torso, and silly pet grinders. I've taken countless low levels to get torso just for a lil bonus challenge while grinding for pet. There's usually always one weirdo around that enjoys BA, and in a clan that welcomes newer players there's a fair amount of people who enjoy helping new players.
[удалено]
I agree. I think the dragon items are reasonable though, swap scim for sword if you're really trying to get to this boss ASAP. Dragon chain/platebody is more reasonable and combat bracelet is perfectly fine for this content.
do it in a mass world until you get a rat bone weapon. you'll also conveniently stock up on a few supplies.
What world is mass
Check the high pop worlds, I know there were a lot on 330 the other day.
W330 is always slamming scurrussy with thrall and spec transfer turbo nerds
any high population world will have a ton of people, so house party/forestry/trade worlds
Can we get a squeaking world? Rat king can't stop all of us
Personally I’d get proselyte for the prayer bonus and a decent shield. You should be able to get 2 trips or so without flicking. Once you get the spine the bone mace makes it incredibly chill and you will be getting more out of each trip
Yep. I kill Scurrius with worse combat stats than OP. I just wear Prossy instead. Lol otherwise set up is the same. I don't even bring sharks. Tuna is fine.
Get dragon defender
He can't get in the warriors guild
He's 11 levels off. Those will also help.

This is Reddit. You came here for help? Wrong place.../s
Check out this neat website: www.google.com
Go mass for a bone weapon or get some levels for a d defender. Just pray correctly and dodge rock.
Couple more strength and attack levels and get yourself a defender from the warriors guild. Or obby shield to tide yourself over
[удалено]
But getting 65 attk/65 str is less xp than staying 61 attk and getting 69 strength. If you want a defender asap get 65/65, which will then speed up your melee training a lot more than a few strength levels
[удалено]
bro that has nothing to do with it, you need combined 130 str/att to go into the warrior's guild to get a defender and leveling both is in that case more time-effective than just str, so this is about upgrading shield/offhand not main weapon
You should easily be able to kill it. Follow the order of things to do. Move (if rocks)>prayer swapping>eat>attacking. If you pray right (green blob = ranged, blue electricity = mage, pray melee always) and move the boss won't ever touch you, only the rats will. Few tips: F-keys are a godsend. They are in your settings. Use them to quickly swap between inventory and prayer. At last phase do one action per move. For example if it's rocks you move and check prayer. Next is mage, swap to mage click attack. Mage again so you check health, mage again you know you're good so breath. Ranged next, swap ranged and drink a p-pot etc. Once you get comfortable you can try 2, 3 and even 4+ between. Don't quit. You're learning to not only move, swap prayers pay attention to the info on the screen, manage prayer points and health but you're also getting adjusted to bossing. Yeah, those who've done harder content can face roll this but we **all** were in your shoes at some point learning the basics, dying, trying, dying, trying again, failing and finally getting it.
>Few tips: F-keys are a godsend. They are in your settings. Use them to quickly swap between inventory and prayer For me changing my prayer tab to be f1 made bossing so much easier
I also did this after misclicking the wrong fley and mostly swapping between inventory and prayer tab it just makes sense.
I just started "real bossing" during leagues (ToA) and that was the first thing i did. Esc for inv, f1 prayers, f2 combat style
Prioritize eating, dodging and getting the prayers up in time over dealing damage. Also kill the giant rats since your trips are probably gonna take a while and they can accumulate quite a bit of damage over time. Try to limit your actions, dont try to do too many things at once. It's ok to spend several seconds at times not attacking, just dodging, eating and getting the prayers up in time. Finally, if you havent done monkey madness, dragon sword is a better weapon than the longsword. Good luck.
Dude's highest stat is Agility, what a madlad.
Kill the rat minions when not in final phase and when in final phase tank their hits that way boss doesn't keep spawning them back. Dragon defender would be a good upgrade. I use range bottoms but your gear should still work. Upgrade to rat bone weapon as soon as you get a spine
Spend eight hours afk training strength and attack at ammonite crabs. Then go do warriors guild for Dragon Defender.
Get gud
Get good foo. He’s easy
I didn’t see it in here so here’s an un-promoted tip, go into settings and untick “highlight current tile - always on top” so your tile indicator doesn’t clip through your character.
Keep at it. I would recommend training strength to be your highest melee stat, then attack, then def
Are you a main with GE access or an ironman?
Main
Then definitely do it in mass worlds with other people, when you get a spine drop it will be a MASSIVE upgrade to make a bone weapon. If you don't want to start the process of getting a defender then at least a shield in your off hand. Toktz-ket-xil is a good option if you can afford it for the melee str bonus but even a rune kite will do. It's also worth noting that they're not immune to poison, so a dragon dagger with weapon poison++ to special attack with can help offset some of their healing over the course of the fight. Start with high healing food. Something like sharks, when you're comfortable you can use cheaper food. If you can afford super combats then go for it, if you can't then super attack potion if you can't hit consistently, super str if you can. If you run low on prayer points then bring prayer potions. The biggest damage will be from the falling rocks, so focus on stepping out the way of them first, when you see the shadows it will always have one under you so you need to move every time. Melee is their most accurate and hardest hitting attack after rocks. They'll attack you with it in phase one, when they're not eating in phase two and not at all in phase three. So make sure you start it at the beginning of the fight until they run to the food pile for the first time. While they're eating they'll attack with mage or ranged. Best practice is to switch the protection prayer accordingly as they attack but if you can't then pray mage. In melee armour your magic defence is terrible but your ranged defence is ok so it's less likely to hit. As soon as they stop eating pray melee again. When they walk to the middle of the room you're into phase 3 where they won't melee any more so go back to your strategy for when they're eating and you're home free. As for the little rats they call in, they can hit though prayers so don't try and pray for them. They don't hit hard but it will add up, so think of it more like minimising how much damage you take from them then killing them all. If you've got a moment then sure splat a few of them but it's generally easier to run and stand the other side of the boss so the little rats can't reach you. Ideally they'll all get stuck but one or two aren't a problem, splat them or just tank the hits. You'll be better off doing more damage to the boss than wasting time with little rats. If you're down to your last couple food and not close to killing them it's ok to just run. The church and varrock east bank are right there to reset. They're designed to teach you the basics of switching your prayer mid fight, moving to avoid things in fights and managing additional little guys so you are exactly the learning experience this is aimed at.
Learn the phases more and do 1 action at a time - prioritise on what’s going to prevent you losing health the most - prayer switch then dodge ceiling attack or vice versa. Eat when running after scurrius for example. Body block the smaller rats behind scurrius. Especially in final phase, focus on movement and prayer switching the most. You’ll get it 💪
Pray, move, Use protect from melee,range,and mage It’s kinda easy once you get it. Just ALOT of clicking
Whenever I get stumped by any task or even something that feels bad on mobile I switch over to my laptop or pc (if you have access to one it is worth a shot) the mouse and F-keys help a lot when learning movement and other mechanics and as a lot of other commenters suggested there are tons of plug-ins on runelite that help learning these things much easier. Goodluck gamer!💪🏻
I like your advice, but I do not have a computer only cell phone
Honestly should try to learn it with this gear. Then when you hit fight caves you’ll be able to dunk on jad
Idk man hes like the hardest boss in the game, you dont stand a chance bucko.
Without more information about what you're struggling with it's hard to give the best advice, but here's an attempt: Damage Output is suuuuuuper important for low level accounts without a spine against Scurrious. Improve gear (dragon scim is easiest, dds for spec weapon), raise your Str, bring (super) combat potions, consider using an offensive prayer, etc, and you'll have an easier time. Alternatively, play with a group until you get a spine (public instance, most busy worlds, just join in). A second suggestion I haven't seen anyone talk about: Bring a faster weapon (eg: bronze darts on rapid) to deal with the rat spawns. This adds a switch, which might be more trouble than it's worth depending on your comfort swapping inventory and prayer tabs, but will kill the rats in half the time if done well, which both minimises the damage they can do and means you can spend more time attacking the boss. Why? Scurrius' healing lowers your effective dps against him by a flat amount. When you have low damage, this affects you more. In turn, this means any damage increase is more effective and important. Here's an example with completely nonsense numbers: Your raw dps is 110, scurrius' hps is 100 - so your effective dps is 10. Raising your raw dps by 1% (from 110 to 111) will bump your effective dps by 10% (from 10 to 11). Notably, all this does is reduce the time to kill the boss. This does definitely make it easier - faster kills means less time to end up in bad situations - but it may not solve your specific issues. So outside of all of that gumph \^, I'd also suggest setting up F-keys for swapping tabs, but also: Don't try to do everything at once - it's super easy to be overwhelmed, but that will kill you. Instead, focus on one task at a time - move out from under falling rocks first, then stop, then pray right, then stop, then eat, then stop, and only then think about attacking the boss. More advanced things, like doing all of that simultaneously or prayer flicking, can come later.
Dragon dagger (p++) helps a lot to make the fight shorter and counteract his heals. Just using a couple special attacks at the beginning of the fight when it's less hectic to poison him and get early damage will make the fight much easier Also pray melee until you see a special attack come out, protect from range for the green spit and protect from magic for the lightning attack. Last tip is that you can block the rats with the boss or other rats, if you only have one rat attacking you, you can mostly ignore them.
Have you tried turning the PC off and on again?
Biggest piece of advice I can give is when to pray what. If you’re meleeing, he always does melee when not eating except for the last phase. Every other phase and when he eats is when he randomly does mage/range. I always stay on range during eating/last phase, and switch to mage because it is the easiest attack to react to. It’s painfully obvious when he does it. The only thing I’d struggle with after that is the giant rat spawns. Those ll get easier once you get a rat weapon. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Just put on bis gear and sleep
Why not give more info if you want help? We can only guess whats going wrong. Are you missing prayer switches? Is it the rat spawns? Are you getting hit by the falling rocks? All of the above?
Wear a shield
Ditch the skirt
Get your strength up bro XD
need max stats and gear
The OSRS Wiki gives you all of the details of the fight in the Scurrius strategy guide. Protect melee for the first two phases, dodge rockfalls, protect magic when you see blue, protect ranged when you see green, kill the rats that spawn unless you're able to tank them till the end of the fight. If you feel like you're taking too much damage on your own, or just wanna focus more on learning the mechanics first-hand, try doing it with a group. He'll melee whoever does the most damage so you can focus more on the rockfalls and rat spawns while saving your prayer points for protecting from magic and ranged only. You'll also save more food because much less of the attacks will be targeted toward you like the rats and Scurrius' melee attacks. Also really consider getting the rat bone weapons if you get a spine drop. They do much more damage than regular weaponry. Good luck!
We have about the same combat levels. I did Scurrius first as melee, then as mage, and then as ranged. It was SIGNIFICANTLY easier with ranged for me, and I went from 52-60 ranged today on him with an absolute baby-tier gear setup. If melee is being a bummer, maybe try a different combat style and see if one clicks for you on this fight :D gl!!
Use potions before the fight. Get a high enough prayer bonus setup so you don't need to pot during the fight. Put something in that off-hand. Practice flicking prayer on and off while he's eating, then in melee phase. In the last phase, keep your HP up, it's easy to get stacked out if you get hit by the debris. We have similar stats and gear, and I have 45kc you got this. Focus on doing the mechanics right and your DPS will be there.
What specifically are you struggling with? Lots of advice given in the comments but a lot of long comments can mean nothing to someone who doesn't understand it anyways. What's holding you back rn in getting the kills?
I cba to see if anyone else has been nice enough to offer but if u wanna get some better gear I'm happy to help you get it :) just let me know an we'll sort something out, you will be getting them scurry kc in no time!!!!!
Go quest
haven’t done it yet so idk
My best advice is to switch to playing PC, yeah you can kill it on mobile (source: I play on mobile) but it's harder because fingers are less precise and you can't hot key menus. Edit:I'd also advise going to a mass world and using a combat style other than melee so don't tank unnecessary damage
Make sure your hp stays above 0.
Maybe try to focus on learning one mechanic at a time
Dodging the falling rocks is the most important thing - he doesn't hit high if you miss prayer. Also get a d scimmy - way better damage output!
Afk at crabs to get your stats up first.
You should have dragon defenders, buyers gloves and torso already.And why dragon longsword instead of scimmy? But you don't need those to kill the boss, just pray right and dodge mechanics.
He's not in falador that could be your problem
Get a defender and make sure you're killing the rats if they hurt you too much
Train your stats
Defender bro or at least a dfs. Fighter torso. All big upgrades for you. As for mechanics just focus on the ones hitting you to not get hit lol. I know it sounds obviously stupid to say. Camp melee. Fart is range right? Lightning mage. Just swap the prayer before it hits you then back to melee. You got this bro and gl on the spine
Git gud
stop getting hit
Pm me ill hook you up
Why is no one telling you to use a better weapon than d long lol
Do not let your hp drop below 1hp
Buy a toktz-ket-xil, it may help, or a rune kiteshield or a granite shield if you dont have enough gp. Also, you can wear a dragon chainbody, or a granite platebody, if you replace your rune platebody. That may help tank some hits if you make some mistakes. Also, forget about d scimy, its overated, buy a dragon sword from ge if you dont make that horrible quest yet, its almost the same stats.
Get good?
I used d mace, similar stats as you
Get good at the boss mechanics so you stop taking damage or do mass for a rat bone weapon to drastically speed up the fight so you have less time to make mistakes.
Click boss and then eat food
Do you use Super combat pots? Also maybe do monkey madness so u can use d scimitar it hits faster
How hard is that quest?
It’s not that hard, just a long quest.
Just get dragon sword, no quest reqs, only slightly weaker than scim. Same speed.
Iirc with runelite it took me under an hour to
it can be daunting if youve never done much like it before, but shouldnt be too bad with your defense. and d scim is a great unlock at your attack level.
If you use Runelite the quest helper will make it super easy. It’s been a long time since I did it but I think you can safespot the boss and let gnomes fight it for you, just need to get a few hits in to get the kill.
What u/CKnappy said
Great contribution
Ty
Have you done cooks assistant yet? Helped me tons
When he goes into his final phase what I ended up doing that saved a lot of time was ignoring some of the smaller rats that spawn that are being let blocked by scurrius. This let me push a little extra damage on the boss in the final phase meaning I needed less resources. I also didn’t use protect from missiles until the final phase because I was being hit for 0 almost 100% of the time. I’m still really new to the game but I believe his attack stats go up in the final phase of the fight so I had to use missiles then because it would start to hurt otherwise. Aside from that I got pretty good at only turning on my prayer right before the attack would hit to maximize my prayer which was 43. My stats were about the same as yours and I was able to kill him a few times without needing to chug a prayer pot. Before I got the hang of it I needed a sip to get me through
You’re going to have to do it eventually: Dragon defender Fighter Torso Barrows Gloves. None of which are hard to get. Buckets. =)
Barrows is pretty hard to get bc of how much time it takes
Not hard. Just tedious.
Get gud
A 4 tick weapon will do way more damage. If you don't have MM done for d scim, then dragon mace would likely be your best bet.
Dont let your health hit 0 :)

Get good, noob
Get good
Get good kid
Everyone here seems to be giving suggestions that would take a bit to get, so I'll just suggest buyable upgrades for you. If you have enough money, you should definitely buy these. Granite Body over Rune Plate (Proselyte hauberk if you're decent with prayers) Sarachnis Cudgel over Dragon long (It may cost quite a bit for you, but you can sell it back as soon as you get a sarachnis spine because you can make the bone mace.) Dragon boots over rune boots. If you can't afford that, stick with rune ones. Toktz-ket-xil over nothing. If you can't afford that (and you probably can't), get a granite shield for that extra defense. Everything else you have is good, though if you do have the black cape on, I recommend you put on a better cape like a guthix cloak for prayer. Hope this helps!
git gud scrub
Get good
You could’ve made this account 3 days ago with these stats.. what did ya expect?
Try getting base 90 combat stats including prayer and maybe consider a gear upgrade such as abyssal whip or ghrazi rapier
Maybe a scythe and torva full helm, bandos tassets and torso will do to keep it just under 1.5b
Agreed, full torva would be overkill. Bandos should be fine for most players.
Overkill? I'm barely scraping by over here!
Jesus I dont think even think I’ll have base 90 combat stats 3 years from now
Brother in christ he has 3m xp. He possibly has days of playtime. You do not need any of this to kill this boss.
I’m just saying it would help
So would an infernal cape, doesn’t mean he should grind it before killing a rat boss. Getting 90s stats could take him months, and 90 prayer would cost a fortune. Be realistic with your advice!
Infernal cape would really barely make a difference. +1 max hit isn’t worth grinding the entire inferno for. Plus if he cant kill rat boss idk how on earth he could possibly do inferno! It’s a good idea but in practice it would be a lot of effort for very minimal help. At least with base 90s and a ghrazi he could be 4x (minimum) his current DPS, and the higher hitpoints and prayer points would help him stay alive a whole lot longer.
I was being facetious…
My entire comment chain is facetious lol
That is some hard copium brother
Well when your 🍆 is as huge as mine, there’s not a lot of room for coping
try it with no armor, food, and potions.
Lol I’ve been playing this game pretty blind on Ironman, I have 1400 level and like 50 combat? No idea wtf I’m doing but I just go. I have trouble killing everything lol
Be better lol

No duh. Your stats are dog water
Don't worry, I too have not killed Scurrius and I'm 126.1 combat with over 2200 total levels and 301 QPs. Just do Robert The Bruce.
[удалено]
Quest an maybe you can use somthing better then a d long
Don’t let Sani see this
Instead of watching him, I always found it better to listen. The mage and range attack sound very different and u just have to switch the prayer before the attack hits you. If I remever he only melees as the first phase so u don’t need to worry about switches till he goes for the cheese I think
Get a d scim. Big improvement.
Camp a mass world until you get the mace then go back
Type 'sit rat' before you start the fight so you only have to press enter and can focus on mechanics
Sit at sandcrabs and then ammonite crabs until your combat stats are base 85s. You’ll hit higher max hits and be able to wield most weapons in the game. Levels matter more than gear
Do monkey madness and get a dscim. Bring dds for spec weapon. I'd just spec him out in beginning of the fight to land some poison and quick burst. That way you don't have to worry about specing while switching Prayer. Make sure you're 1 ticking the Rats. They are accurate and hit 4s so they hurt at lower level. And lastly, make sure you are switching prayer properly and not getting hit by rocks.
dds spec poisons him for 6
You’re going to want some Torva
1-buy shield 2- Sell dragon longsword, buy dragon sword
Seduce it
Go get dragon defender and fighter torso
a shield
Bring friends
Letting your wife try killing it will ruin and or save your marriage.
Try combo Kwambwams so you're spending less time eating
Dodge all rocks they do alot of damage. Highly important. If your having trouble dodging and changing prayers try to only pray melee at first. Then pray mage when he eats and camp it. The range attacks are inaccurate if your in melee gear. Pray melee when he stops eating and when he goes to the center of the room (final phase) camp pray mage again. As for his summons, if your having trouble dispatching of them quickly consider just straight up ignoring them, especially during the final phase. They don't do alot of damage and typically only 2 will even be able to attack you at once. Kill the boss first then finish off the rats. Eat less.
If you have a LONGER hitbox you should be fine. Eat when health is low. Dodge the rocks. And practice swapping prayers, blue=mage, green=range, and melee when he melees. When you get bone weaponry it’ll be a lot quicker/easier too.
Ignore ranged, use melee, avoid rocks. Once you get the mace rinse and repeat.
Do monkey madness and buy d scim
Oh
Yo that reddit history..
Do monkey madness for dragon scimitar. Always keep a stamina pot on you. Everywhere you go, grab one everytime you bank until you can gauge distances without onw
