OSRS Grid Master Scurrius Guide | Boosted Drops & Rewards
Scurrius might be one of the easiest early bosses to clear in Grid Master, but it’s also one of the most rewarding thanks to the huge drop rate boost and solid task progression it offers. Here’s everything you need to know before diving into the fight.
How to Unlock Scurrius in Grid Master
Scurrius is available from the start of Grid Master and doesn’t require any quest completions or prerequisites. It’s one of the first combat encounters most players will face since it’s tied to one of the early combat mastery unlocks.
The fight itself plays out just like in the main game. You’ll find Scurrius beneath Varrock, and the goal is simple: defeat the giant rat and loot the chest. The boosted XP, drops, and relic effects in Grid Master make this task far easier than in the regular game.
Scurrius Drop Rate and Rewards
Scurrius is part of the global 8x drop rate system applied across Grid Master. That means any unique drop has its rarity multiplied by eight, making it far more obtainable than usual.
Base drop rate for Scurrius’ spine: 1/33
Boosted drop rate in Grid Master: roughly 1/4
The Scurrius’ spine is the main draw here, offering one of the earliest chances at a powerful weapon upgrade that syncs well with melee-focused relics and early task grinds.
Because this fight is tied to the “Defeat Scurrius” tile, it also contributes directly to unlocking higher tiers of combat masteries. Players focusing on fast combat progression should prioritize this early.
Best Relics and Setups for Scurrius
Since everyone starts fresh with boosted XP and drop multipliers, the key here is efficiency, not gear.
Use Melee relics or Combat Mastery boosts if already unlocked to deal steady damage.
If you’ve picked Golden God, auto-alching during combat gives passive Magic XP while you fight.
Prayer boosts from Golden God let you sustain overheads for protection without bone grinding.
The fight is simple, but mistakes can still cost time, so keep food ready or use the Corrupted Shark once it’s unlocked for infinite healing.
Why Scurrius Matters for Progression
Defeating Scurrius unlocks part of the combat mastery progression chain, giving early access to higher mastery tiers that enhance accuracy, damage, and healing. It’s also an ideal early boss to take advantage of the global 8x drop rate, which helps jumpstart gear and gold flow.
Scurrius ties directly into the central combat grind loop of Grid Master, making it a great first boss after clearing the early skilling tiles like gold ore and maple logs.
Final Blurb
Scurrius might look like a starter boss, but in Grid Master it’s basically free loot and a fast track to better combat relics. Clear it early, claim your spine, and move on to Bryophyta or Hueycoatl while your drop luck’s still hot.
