OSRS Muttadiles Guide: Tree Strategy, Gear & Mechanics

Overview: Muttadiles at a Glance

Muttadiles is a full boss in the raid group, rated 3 out of 5 in our boss index and normally fought solo or team.

Before you can fight Muttadiles you need Chambers of Xeric.

Tree chop strategy is what this fight actually asks of you, and it is the thing standing between you and raid points toward CoX uniques.

Its own attacks are melee and ranged, so Protect from Melee and Missiles both have a job.

In our index it sits in the raid group at difficulty 3 of 5, where kill times come down to tree chop strategy.

Access Requirements

Muttadiles is gated behind Chambers of Xeric.

Chambers of Xeric also tends to sit alongside the other raid gates, so it is usually cheaper to clear them together than to come back for each one. The boss requirements checklist lists them by group.

Location and How to Get There

Muttadiles is fought in a combat room in the Chambers of Xeric.

A Chambers of Xeric room containing two beasts rather than one: the original mutated muttadile and its offspring, warped alongside it. That pairing is the whole room.
