The Perfect Araxur 2 Grandmaster combat achievement in Old School RuneScape is one of the more punishing and technical Araxxor tasks. To complete it, you must defeat Araxxor perfectly without hitting it during its enrage phase. This builds on the Master-level Perfect Araxur requirement, where you must avoid all damage from Araxxor’s magic, ranged, melee, Araxite minions, or acid pools. Successfully finishing Perfect Araxur 2 will automatically complete the base Perfect Araxur task as well, making this a highly efficient grind for completionists. While the challenge may sound daunting, there is a reliable strategy that makes the fight manageable with practice. For players who prefer to focus purely on boss mechanics instead of long grinds, some even choose to buy OSRS gold to speed up gearing before attempting this achievement. This guide breaks down the gear, setup, and step-by-step approach to clearing Perfect Araxur 2.

Gear Setup and Preparation

For this method, you can gear for Araxxor much like a standard ranged encounter. A heavy ballista paired with dragon javelins provides excellent burst damage against Araxite minions and eggs. Boost your ranged level with a ranging potion (ideally pushing to 109+ with Rigour active).

You should also:

· Pray melee the entire fight. Using this strategy, you won’t need to switch prayers at all.

· Use the NPC Indicators plugin to tag Araxxor’s true tile. This ensures you stay within melee distance throughout the fight, preventing it from using magic or ranged attacks.

· Enable Menu Entry Swapper to shift-click "walk here." This makes repositioning under Araxxor in the enrage phase much smoother.

Before starting, repeatedly enter and exit Araxxor’s lair until you get the white Araxite in the first position. This setup is crucial for controlling the fight.

Fight Breakdown

Phase 1: Initial Engagement

· Begin the fight in melee distance of Araxxor with Protect from Melee active.

· When the white Mirrorback Araxite spawns, immediately shoot it with your heavy ballista. With potions and Rigour, you’ll usually one-shot it, but a second hit is fine as long as it doesn’t melee you.

Phase 2: Green Eggs

· After the white Araxite, use your ballista to attack the green egg in the third position. Destroy it before it hatches; otherwise, the green acidic Araxite can deal ranged damage and ruin the achievement.

· Watch for Araxxor’s venom special attack and step aside to avoid damage.

Phase 3: Handling the Red Araxite

· The cycle alternates between eggs and venom specials.

· When the red Araxite appears, quickly one-shot it with your ballista. If you require two hits, ensure it doesn’t get close enough to explode.

· Continue destroying green eggs between venom dodges.

Phase 4: The Tricky Movement

The only precise maneuver in this method comes when you must kill the last green egg. To hit it, you’ll need to shift Araxxor two tiles north while staying within melee distance.

· Wait until you see a hitsplat on your character, then step two tiles north.

· Araxxor will reset back into melee range before its next attack.

· This move doesn’t need to be tick-perfect, as Araxxor attacks on a six-tick cycle. If you mistime it, however, Araxxor may fire a magic or ranged attack, instantly failing the task.

Once repositioned, finish destroying the last green egg and repeat the same routine against the remaining minions and venom specials.

Phase 5: Enrage Phase

With all Araxite eggs and minions cleared, focus fully on Araxxor. When it enters enrage, run directly underneath the boss.

During this stage:

· Move two tiles horizontally, diagonally, or in an L-shape after each Araxxor attack.

· Always avoid venom pools - even though only one appears per attack, stepping just one tile instead of two can still result in damage.

· Using the shift-click walk here method makes this "tile dancing" straightforward. Simply hold shift and click the safe tile after every attack.

Stay calm, maintain your movement rhythm, and after a short period of weaving underneath Araxxor, the enrage phase will end - and with it, the fight.

Conclusion

Perfect Araxur 2 is a test of consistency, positioning, and precise execution rather than raw damage output. By controlling the Araxite spawn order, destroying green eggs before they hatch, and practicing the two-tile north movement, you drastically reduce the risk of failure. The enrage phase then becomes a matter of clean movement under Araxxor’s body. With patience and practice, you’ll secure the kill, complete Perfect Araxur 2, and simultaneously unlock Perfect Araxur. For Grandmaster combat achievement hunters, this fight is a milestone worth mastering, and preparing the right gear - whether earned in-game or purchased through OSRS gold for sale - can make the journey smoother.
