Giant spider

A Giant spider is an introductory monster in RuneScape. Many new players kill the level 2 giant spiders to train combat because of their low combat level and close location to the starting point in Lumbridge.

The level 27 spiders are rarely trained on, and are aggressive.

The level 50 giant spiders are found exclusively in the third level of the Stronghold of Security and are popular with higher-levelled players due to the fact that they are aggressive to all players regardless of combat level, making it one of the most popular Free-to-play and Pay-to-play training spots. They are also slightly darker in colour than the lower level spiders. The level 50 Giant spiders are fairly accurate and can hit between 70-80 LP, so it is recommended that players wear at least full rune armour and bring food (filling the inventory with food is recommended as the spiders drop nothing). Alternatively, bring a bunyip.

Trivia

 * If a Slayer Master assigns you to spiders, you do not have to use Giant Spiders. You could fight ice, poison, jungle, and Fever Spiders, unless the slayer master assigns you to a specific species.
 * Crush attacks tend to hit more often then slash on giant spiders, so a good weapon to use for training strength on them is Saradomin Sword.
 * Due to recent updates, the Level 50 giant spiders sometimes retreat at low life points.
