Blood of Orcus is an Archaeological material that can be obtained through excavating material caches or various excavation sites, requiring level 58 Archaeology, at various dig sites around RuneScape.

Blood of Orcus is required to restore various artefacts, and is also a vital ingredient for creating binding contracts for use in Ancient Summoning. As players increase their Archaeology level and use higher tier mattocks, they are able to excavate Blood of Orcus at quicker rates.

Blood of Orcus, like other Archaeology materials, can be stored in the material storage container.
