OSRS Scorpia Guide: Best Gear, Freezing Strategy & Drops

Overview: Scorpia at a Glance

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

Before you can fight Scorpia you need Deep Wilderness.

Freezing the guardians is what this fight actually asks of you, and it is the thing standing between you and odium / malediction shard 3.

Its own attack is melee (stab), so Protect from Melee is the prayer it asks for.

In our index it sits in the Wilderness boss group at difficulty 3 of 5, where kill times come down to freezing the guardians.

Access Requirements

Scorpia is gated behind Deep Wilderness.

Deep Wilderness also tends to sit alongside the other Wilderness boss 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

Scorpia is found in a cave beneath the Scorpion Pit at Wilderness level 53 to 55.

Deep Wilderness. The depth is the point: this is far enough in that you should assume you will be scouted, so bring only what you can rebuy.
