Type ::venenatis to choose between the two Wilderness lairs. The Royal Donator Zone Venenatis is on the top floor of the Royal Donator Castle (Teleport interface: Donator → Royal PvM Zone). She is not aggressive there, so the fight only starts when you attack her.

Fight overview

Venenatis attacks with melee towards any player that's adjacent to her (max hit 21), and either ranged (max hit 35) or magic (max hit 30) for any player out of her melee range. If some players are next to her and others are not, she picks melee or her ranged/magic attack at random. She attacks every player in range at the same time. Protection prayers will fully block the attacks, however, they let damage through while her spiderlings are alive: the more of them are alive, the more damage gets through.

In her Wilderness lairs, Venenatis will shuffle to another position every four attacks. Every two movements will cause her to alternate between ranged and magic attacks (8 ranged attacks, then 8 magic attacks).

At the start of each 16-attack cycle, Venenatis summons two spiderlings for every player within 10 tiles of her (up to about 18 at once). The spiderlings drain 1 Prayer point and a little run energy with every hit, whether it damages or not, however any hit kills a spiderling. Later in each cycle, Venenatis launches a sticky web at her target. Standing on the web deals 3 damage every tick. The web disappears early in her next cycle.

Her combat stats cannot be lowered, so stat-draining special attacks do not weaken her. Every player after the first who attacks her adds 750 hitpoints and 5% to her combat stats (up to 20 players). When she dies, every player who damaged her gets 2 PK points per damage (up to 1,500), 2 Anglerfish and 2 potions. One player wins the drop table roll; the more damage you dealt, the higher your chance.

Setups

These setups come from what players wear when they kill Venenatis. Each tab shows the gear most players use at that price, what it costs, and how long a solo kill usually takes with it. Prices are in PK points (PKP) at today's in-game prices, and spawnable items are free to spawn. Almost everyone fights her with melee, which is more than twice as fast as ranged.

Typical solo kill: about 2 minutes 20 seconds

• A charged Viggora's chainmace has 50% more accuracy and max hit against monsters in the Wilderness. That is why it beats every other weapon at this price, even though it takes the setup just over 100K.
• Cheaper swaps: Dragon boots (200 ) for the Primordial boots, or Verac's plateskirt (350 ) for the Bandos tassets.
• A Serpentine helm (5,500 ) is the most common helm upgrade.

Typical solo kill: about 1 minute 20 seconds

• The Ursine chainmace has the same Wilderness bonus as Viggora's chainmace, with better stats.
• Inquisitor's armour raises the max hit of crush attacks, which both chainmaces use.
• On a Slayer task, wear a Slayer helmet (i) instead of the Inquisitor's great helm.
• The usual next upgrade is an Avernic defender (875,000 ).

Typical solo kill: about 55 seconds

• The Sanguine scythe of vitur gives the fastest kills. Players who stay on the Ursine chainmace with an Avernic defender and Ferocious gloves take about 1 minute 10 seconds.
• The scythe is two-handed, so there is no shield.
• On a Slayer task, wear a Slayer helmet (i) instead of the Helm of neitiznot.
• An Infernal cape has the same stats as the Infernal max cape.

Drops

Note: You will receive a hidden 20% drop boost if you're skulled while killing Venenatis!

The pet and clue scrolls are rolled separately. The other drops are rolled one by one from the rarest down, and the first one you hit is your drop. If you hit none of them, you get the PK points from the common drops table.
