Fight Mechanics
⬥ The fight consists of four phases: Araxxor in P1–3, followed by Araxxi in P4
⬥ P2 has three possible paths:
• Top/1 path ("Minions")
• Middle/2 path ("Acid")
• Bottom/3 path ("Darkness")
⬥ Only 2 of the 3 paths are open at any point, changing every 4 days
• You can use the Beasts tab to view the current path rotation
• You can change this at any time with War's Blessing 3
⬥ Using Soul Split
slightly heals the boss when it hits you
⬥ As enrage increases, as does damage from the below attack mechanics
• Enrage increases by +20% per kill, to a maximum fight start of 300%
• Enrage resets to 0% each day, or by using a pheromone
at a bank
Attack Rotation
P1–3: 5x auto → Random special attack → Repeat
Path mechanics happen during P2 depending on the open path:
⬥ Top Path: Minion Spawn
⬥ Middle Path: Bomb Spider
⬥ Bottom Path: Spotlight
P4: Auto attacks → Putrid Wave at 25,000 LP
Auto Attacks
Mechanic: Araxxor can spawn using Melee
, Ranged
or Magic
auto attacks. This style is random in public instance, and based on your main-hand weapon in a private instance.
Solution:
⬥ Forcing an attack style
• If fighting Araxxor in a public instance, keep a Araxyte pheromone
in your inventory
• Araxxor spawns in the style weak to your equipped main-hand style, e.g., it will deal Ranged damage if you are holding a sword
• Once spawned, it will retain this attack style for the rest of the fight
• Equipping a necromancy weapon at time of spawn is random, as this style has no weakness
⬥ Pray against Araxxor's combat style if taking too much damage
• Pray
once you are comfortable surviving mechanics
⬥ Be ready for a special attack after every 5 auto attacks
Cleave (Example)
Mechanic: Araxxor swipes in front of itself, dragging you into melee distance and dealing heavy typeless damage.

(Top Path) Minion Spawn (Example)
Mechanic: Araxxor summons spiders. Some special spiders either reflect damage from Araxxor or heal Araxxor.
Solution:
⬥ Stop attacking Araxxor when spiders spawn
⬥ Kill Mirrorback and Pulsing spiders first
⬥ Ignore or clear the other spiders as needed
⬥ If unsure, wait for the special spider to spawn before attacking again

Solution:
⬥ Prayer flick
/

⬥ Deal burst damage to finish the kill quickly
⬥ Move each time the black blob hits you
⬥ Keep moving to avoid the blob entirely if needed
