Mature grotworm/Strategies

Melee
Meleeing is the common way to kill grotworms, as they have a very low crush and low stab defence and mediocre slash defence. However, these grotworms will immediately launch a magic attack at anyone charging at them, making magic protection prayers an option to consider. Nevertheless, they are still pretty easy to kill with melee and good stats. For their level, they are extremely easy in comparison to something like Frost dragons. Using soul split, one could heal and stay as long as prayer potion supply allows. Using Guthan's is also a very good way to heal for longer trips, using little or no food total. 80+ combat level is recommended. A Guthan's set, a Saradomin godsword or an Enchanted excalibur might be brought to heal oneself as well.

Ranged
Ranging is a safe way to deal with these grotworms. Their magic attack has a low attack range, similar to Waterfiends, allowing players to make almost any safespot in their habitat, as long as they cannot move around it. Very few safespots exist, however, and even with good magic defence, they can still hit hard, so this is only recommended for those with high ranged and or magic levels.
