Overview of the Bludgeon Claw
The Bludgeon Claw is a powerful two-handed weapon in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that is primarily used for its ability to deal significant damage in both PvE and PvP scenarios. It is one of the components required to create the Bludgeon, a renowned weapon favored by many players for its high strength bonus. This item is classified as a bludgeon weapon and is particularly effective against enemies with lower defence stats.
How to Obtain the Bludgeon Claw
To obtain the Bludgeon Claw, players must defeat the Chaos Elemental. This formidable boss can be found in the Wilderness, specifically in the level 20 to 30 Wilderness area. Here’s a quick guide on how to approach the battle:
- Preparation: Ensure you have adequate supplies such as food, potions, and gear. It’s advisable to bring high combat gear to reduce the damage taken.
- Location: The Chaos Elemental is located near the Chaos Temple.
- Combat Strategy: Use high-damage spells or melee attacks. Beware of its teleportation ability which can disrupt your attack.
Upon defeating the Chaos Elemental, there is a chance that it will drop the Bludgeon Claw, along with other valuable items.

All three components can be obtained from the Chaos Elemental. To craft the Bludgeon, players need to:
- Have level 60 Crafting.
- Visit any anvil and use the parts on it.
Once crafted, the Bludgeon provides exceptional stats for its tier and is a sought-after weapon for both training and combat.
