Venenatis/Strategies

Venenatis is a level 464 spider boss that is found in the Wilderness. Unlike the other three bosses, she is below the level 30 Wilderness line and resides in a partial single/multi-way area, making it safer to kill her compared to the other bosses, which inhabit full multi-way areas.

Attacks
Venenatis has many attacks that she uses against her target.


 * Melee attack: She simply lunges at the player, dealing heavy damage.
 * Magic attack: She launches a magical projectile at the player. It can drain prayer points.
 * Web attack: Her most deadly attack, Venenatis throws a ball of web at the player, dealing up to 50 damage and can use it twice in a row. A game message will appear whenever she uses this attack.

Overview
When fighting Venenatis, most players simply use a full set of Verac's equipment, as the set allows players to ignore defense bonuses of their target and hit high. Despite being weak to ranged, it is usually accepted to melee due to the risk of bring ammo and being a target for PKers, as players can usually protect all of their Verac's gear with Protect Item, provided they are not lured into the multi-combat area.

If ranging, players should take the best crossbow they can equip and bring Diamond bolts (e) as their ammo, as their effect is similar to using Verac's equipment and will increase the player's damage.

Maging is not recommended at Venenatis, as like with the other three Wilderness bosses, has very high magical resistance.

Regardless of your setup, players can bring runes for Vengeance to combat her web ability, as the potentially high damage from the ability is affected by the spell and will reflect most of the damage back on her, speeding up kills greatly. When you need to rebank, simply use your charged dragonstone jewelry to leave the Wilderness; you do not need to run down as she resides within level 26-30 Wilderness. To reach Venenatis, simply use a Games necklace, choose the "Corporeal Beast" option, run up north until you see the Bone Yard, then run east of there until you see the ground has spider webs.

You may want to get a scout to find a free world, as PKers can appear often and often lurk at the hill overlooking her domain. There is currently a glitch/bug where people on the eastern edge of the hill will allow them to see if players are there, as the drop they obtained will be shown to them when she dies.
