Giant spiders are very large spiders most commonly seen around Lumbridge. They are easy to defeat, and are weak against crush weapons.

Locations

 * Lumbridge (level 2)
 * near Outlaw camp, west of Grand Exchange (level 2)
 * Varrock Sewer (level 2 & 27)
 * Wilderness, northwest of Lava Dragon Isle (level 27)
 * Stronghold of Security: Pit of Pestilence (level 50)

Stronghold of Security
There are also level 50 Giant spiders in the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. They offer 200 combat XP per kill, and so are commonly used by players with defence levels around 60 or higher to get combat experience quickly and easily. There are two rooms which are most commonly used for training. The first is the western room, which can be found just north of the 3rd level ladder. The second area is north-east of this room, and has the spiders very densely packed.

Giant spiders are good for training because they are both aggressive towards all players and have very low defence. They provide similar experience rates to rock crabs, except that they can hit up to 7 with relative accuracy on lower levelled players. They are better than rock crabs for higher levels because they are much closer together, and also don't require players to reset them as often as rock crabs. A common special weapon to use is the dragon battleaxe, but Excalibur is also viable because it allows players to both stay longer and check the screen less often if semi-afking. The most practical banking method is wearing a charged glory and teleporting to Edgeville to restock. It is recommended to bring a ring of life, and not a berserker or warrior ring because the spiders stay aggressive for a long time, and if you aren't checking the screen often, it is very easy to die. As long as the wearer's hitpoints level is above 70, a ring of life completely prevents a player from dying.
