Scurrius Combat Achievements
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.
