Ice Giants OSRS Safe Spot Guide for Easy XP and Loot

If you’re grinding in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) and looking for a chill way to rack up combat XP or snag some sweet loot, Ice Giants are your ticket. These big, frosty boys are perfect for mid-level players, and with a safe spot, you can smack ’em down without breaking a sweat. I’ve spent countless hours in the icy depths of Gielinor, tweaking my setups and perfecting my strategies as an OSRS vet. Today, I’m spilling all my secrets on how to use safe spots to dominate Ice Giants. From where to find ’em to what gear to bring, let’s dive into this frosty adventure. Ready to level up? Let’s roll!

Ice Giants are a classic OSRS monster, and I’ve always had a soft spot for them. They’re beefy enough to give decent XP but not so tough that you’re chugging brews every minute. Back when I was a mid-level noob, I’d camp these giants for hours, dreaming of maxed combat stats. Their drops aren’t Zulrah-level, but they’re solid for F2P and low-budget players. Plus, with a safe spot, you can train without worrying about getting clobbered.

What Makes Ice Giants Special?

Here’s the deal: Ice Giants hit hard if you’re face-tanking, but their slow attacks make safe-spotting a breeze. They drop big bones (great for Prayer XP), and occasionally, you’ll snag runes or seeds that add up. I once got a Ranarr seed drop and legit fist-pumped IRL. Ever had a lucky drop like that? Feels amazing, right?

• Combat Level: 53
• Hitpoints: 70
• Max Hit: 7
• Weakness: Magic (but melee and range work great too)

Who Should Fight Them?

If your combat stats are in the 40-70 range, Ice Giants are perfect. They’re awesome for F2P players or anyone on a budget. I used to train here when I was saving for my first Rune Scimmy. Skilling folks might skip these, but for combat grinders, they’re a goldmine. What’s your combat level? You ready to take these giants on?

Where to Find Ice Giants

Ice Giants chill (pun intended) in a few spots across Gielinor. As someone who’s trekked to every corner of OSRS, I’ve got the lowdown on the best locations. Most are in dungeons, so bring a light source and some anti-freeze vibes. Here’s where to go:

White Wolf Mountain Dungeon

This is my go-to spot for F2P players. It’s under White Wolf Mountain, between Catherby and Taverley. You’ll need a dusty key to access the deeper area, which I grabbed after a quick Dragon Slayer quest run. There’s a ladder near the entrance, and bam, you’re in Ice Giant territory. The safe spot here is clutch, but watch out for Ice Warriors tagging you.

Asgarnian Ice Dungeon

Near Port Sarim, this dungeon is P2P but super accessible. I love this spot for its vibe icy walls, spooky vibes, and plenty of giants to smack. The safe spot by the rocks is perfect for ranging or maging. Ever explored this dungeon? It’s got that old-school charm.

Other Spots

You can also find Ice Giants in the Wilderness (Frozen Waste Plateau) or the Ice Caves near Keldagrim, but I don’t recommend those unless you’re feeling brave. The Wildy is too risky for my blood, and Keldagrim’s a hassle. Stick to the main dungeons for now.

How to Safe Spot Ice Giants

Safe-spotting is where the magic happens. I remember my first time figuring out a safe spot it was like unlocking a cheat code. You can attack Ice Giants without taking a single hit if you position yourself right. Here’s the step-by-step:

White Wolf Mountain Safe Spot

1. Get to the Dungeon: Enter via Catherby or Taverley, use the dusty key, and head to the Ice Giant area.
2. Find the Rock: There’s a big rock near the east wall. Lure an Ice Giant to it by attacking, then run behind the rock.
3. Attack: Use range (like a shortbow) or magic (Fire Bolt slaps). The giant can’t reach you, but you can keep hitting. I once camped here for 3 hours straight, just vibing to music.

Pro tip: Bring a few tele tabs in case Ice Warriors gang up. Been swarmed before? It’s not fun!

Asgarnian Ice Dungeon Safe Spot

1. Enter the Dungeon: From Port Sarim, head to the dungeon entrance by Mudskipper Point.
2. Locate the Rocks: Near the center, there’s a cluster of rocks. Aggro an Ice Giant, then stand behind the rocks.
3. Blast Away: Range or magic works best. I used to rock a Mystic Air Staff here and felt like a wizard.

Short paragraph alert: This spot’s my fave for P2P. So chill, so easy.

Gear and Inventory Setup

Gear makes or breaks your grind. As an OSRS nerd, I’ve tested every setup under the sun. For Ice Giants, you don’t need BiS gear, which is why I love them. Here’s what I recommend based on my runs:

Free-to-Play Setup

Slot	Item	Why?
Weapon	Rune Scimitar (melee) or Maple Shortbow (range)	Solid DPS for F2P.
Armor	Rune Chainbody, Platelegs	Cheap and tanky.
Ammo	Adamant Arrows (if ranging)	Good damage for the price.

I rocked this setup at level 50 and felt unstoppable. What’s your F2P gear like?

Pay-to-Play Setup

• Weapon: Dragon Scimitar or Mystic Staff (Air or Fire)
• Armor: Black D’hide or Mystic Robes for range/magic. Melee? Fighter Torso.
• Accessories: Amulet of Accuracy or Power, Combat Bracelet.

Inventory tip: Pack 10-15 lobsters, a few prayer pots (if using Protect from Melee), and a teleport. I always bring a Games Necklace for quick banking. Saves SO much time.

Tips and Tricks from My Ice Giant Grinds

After years of slaying these frosty giants, I’ve got some nuggets of wisdom to share. These tips saved my butt more times than I can count:

Avoid the Aggro

Ice Warriors are sneaky and will jump you if you’re not careful. Lure one giant at a time and stick to your safe spot. I learned this the hard way when I got piled by three warriors. Ouch.

Bank Smart

In Asgarnian, bank at Port Sarim. For White Wolf, Catherby’s close. I used to forget to bank and lost a stack of big bones. Don’t be me!

Boost Your XP

Use a Slayer task if you can. I got Ice Giants as a task once and racked up 20k Slayer XP in one trip. Also, chug a ranging or magic pot for faster kills. Small boosts add up.

Watch Your Prayer

If you’re using Protect from Melee (P2P), keep an eye on your Prayer points. I’ve had to emergency tele out because I wasn’t paying attention. You ever mess up like that? It stings.

Quick question: What’s your fave safe spot in OSRS? Ice Giants or something else?

Profit Tracking

Ice Giants drop about 5-10k GP per hour in F2P, more in P2P with seeds. I used to track my loot in a notebook (nerd alert). Over 10 hours, I made 100k and a Ranarr seed worth 30k. Not bad for a chill grind.

Final thought: Ice Giants are a vibe. They’re not flashy like raids, but they’re reliable. I still pop into the Asgarnian dungeon when I want to relax and train. The safe spot makes it brain-dead easy, and the XP flows like water. Whether you’re a F2P grinder or a P2P adventurer, these giants are worth your time. Got a story from your Ice Giant runs?
