Scurrius & DT2 Combat Achievements (2024)

Take on new challenges this week with a bumper Combat Achievements update!

You’ve had a week or so to familiarise yourself with the Varrock Sewers’ newest resident, so it’s time to up the challenge with a new selection of Combat Achievements!

Bear in mind that this encounter is designed for low to mid-level players, so our new Achievements only cover the Easy and Medium tiers. Here they are:

Easy

• Scurrius Novice: Kill Scurrius once.
• Sit Rat: Finish off Scurrius with a Rat Bone weapon in a private instance.

Medium

• Scurrius Champion: Kill Scurrius 10 times.
• Perfect Scurrius: Kill Scurrius in a private instance without taking damage from the following attacks: Tail Swipe and Falling Bricks. Pray correctly against the following attacks: Flying Fur and Bolts of Electricity.
• Efficient Pest Control: Kill six Giant Rats within Scurrius' lair in three seconds.

If this is your first time trying the Combat Achievements, here are some tips:

• You'll find all Combat Achievements in the Combat Tasks Completed section of your Character Overview panel.
• Here you can see how many tasks you've completed, bosses you’ve killed, raids you’ve completed – and which ones you’ve beaten the most times!
• Combat Achievements are broken down into tiers, ranging from Easy to Grandmaster.
• Opening the menu in the Combat Achievements panel swaps your view between Overview, Tasks, Bosses and Rewards.
• Combat Achievements will automatically trigger a completion pop-up and log it in your tracker.
• Play around in the Combat Tasks Completed panel and narrow it down to Scurrius to keep an eye on your progress.

And that's it! For more news about Scurrius, you can read last week's newspost.

Those of you yearning for a tougher challenge will be pleased to hear that the Desert Treasure II Combat Achievements also go live today! Now you can take on Vardorvis, the Whisperer, the Leviathan, and Duke Sucellus against the clock, or test your durability by achieving perfect kills and limited gear runs. There are nine Combat Achievements per boss, for a total of 36. For your convenience, we’ve listed them all below:

• Scurrius now drops Medium Clue Scrolls at a rate of 1/25 for MVPs.
• Rat Bone weaponry can now be used against dummies in the Player Owned House.
• Players now have the option to un-charge the Bone Staff.
• Scurrius and rats in the Scurrius encounter now count towards Slayer rat tasks.
• Corrected spelling of messages around Scurrius’ Lair.
• Players are now limited to purchasing 3 membership passcodes with Bonds per week.
• Pets are now less likely to get stuck when leaving random event areas. Don’t forget to hit the Call button if you need to realign your follower manually!
• Gargoyles and the biggest desert lizards now have slightly larger aggression radii, making them a bit more prone to attacking adjacent players.
• Conversely, skeletal wyverns now have a slightly lower aggression radius.
• The Granite Maul’s special attack animation now takes priority over the animations for Osmumten’s Fang when the two are performed in quick succession.
• Thralls can now routefind towards a target NPC from further away.
• The God Wars Dungeon Kill Count display now switches between red and blue to indicate whether players have enough kills to enter the boss rooms.
