How to get the Sarachnis cudgel
The Sarachnis cudgel is a unique drop from Sarachnis, the spider boss found in the Forthos Dungeon beneath Hosidius. There is no other way to obtain it directly — you either farm the kill or buy the weapon off the Grand Exchange.
- Drop rate: 1/384 per Sarachnis kill.
- Requirements: Sarachnis has no skill requirement to fight, so any account that can reach the Forthos Dungeon can hunt the cudgel.
- To equip: 65 Attack.
Because it is tradeable, most players simply buy it rather than grind the boss. You can compare its current cost against other crush options using the GE price tracker or plan a Sarachnis trip with the boss gear finder.
Is the Sarachnis cudgel worth it?
The cudgel is a budget crush weapon that fills a real niche. Its +70 crush and +70 strength sit slightly above Viggora's chainmace and slightly below the Leaf-bladed battleaxe, but it swings faster than the battleaxe at 4 ticks instead of 5, and unlike degradable or chargeable alternatives it has zero upkeep — no charges, no repairs.
That makes it a strong pick for monsters weak to crush, such as the Slayer targets and bosses where a crush style outperforms slash or stab. For account progression it pairs naturally with the rest of your melee gear. It does not have a special attack, so it is purely a stat-stick rather than a spec weapon. Check the live price and history chart above before buying — it is one of the cheaper crush upgrades in the game.
