I’ll keep this short and straight: each greater demon gives 110 Slayer XP when killed on a Slayer task. That’s the bit you care about for task counting and slayer experience farming. If it’s not a task kill you still get the combat XP, but no Slayer XP.

For practical play, I tend to focus on efficient positioning and using a weapon that lets me chain hits without much downtime. Slayer capes, helmets, or other accuracy-boosting gear won’t change the 110 XP number, but they make kills faster and improve XP/hour. It’s a tidy chunk of XP for a mid-level slayer run, and I usually come away pleased with the speed and drops.

Straight to it: greater demons award 110 Slayer XP for each kill when they’re part of a Slayer task. That’s the clean figure I use when planning task efficiency or tracking progress on my Slayer goals. If you’re not on a task you won’t get that Slayer XP, but the fight still gives regular combat experience.

For quick tips, I usually bring a bit of food, a teleport, and a weapon that keeps me moving through the task — faster kills mean more 110s per hour. It’s a modest but reliable XP source and I often enjoy the pace they set for a chill grind.

Okay, getting nerdy for a sec: the base Slayer XP awarded for a greater demon is 110 per valid kill, which is credited only when the kill is made as part of an active Slayer assignment. Mechanically, that means you can’t farm Slayer XP from them unless they’re on your task; otherwise you’re just earning combat experience. I like to think about it in XP/hour terms — if I can sustain a steady kill rate, the 110 per kill framework is reliable for calculations.

Beyond the raw number, there are little gameplay practices that matter: using gear that speeds up kills (better accuracy and damage) effectively increases your Slayer XP/hour even though the per-kill amount stays at 110. Bringing teleport options and quick heals tends to maximize uptime for me, and rotating between spawn points keeps things less stale. It’s a comfortable middle ground for Slayer grinds that doesn’t demand endgame stats, and I find it a satisfying routine.

Surprising little detail: greater Demons give 110 Slayer XP per kill when they count toward a Slayer task. I know a lot of people just want the number, so there it is — 110 XP in the Slayer skill for each properly assigned kill. You still get your normal combat experience regardless of task status, but the 110 only ticks when the monster is part of your active task.

If you’re planning a grind, that number makes greater demons a decent mid-tier option: not the fastest XP per hour compared to some higher-level tasks, but they’re accessible, fairly tanky, and drop decent loot for the time invested. I personally like rotating locations to avoid boredom and bringing a prayer pot and decent food so I can squeeze more kills per trip — 110 per corpse adds up quicker than you think, and it’s satisfying to watch the Slayer XP bar crawl forward.

Where can I find osrs greater demon slayer spawn locations?

I get a real kick hunting down slayer spawns, and for 'Old School RuneScape' Greater Demons there are a handful of go-to spots that I always check first. My favorite route is to head to Brimhaven Dungeon — it's compact, has a decent density of Greater Demons, and you can usually chain a task there without wasting time. Taverley Dungeon also has them sprinkled through its deeper rooms, and the Wilderness dungeon has high-density spawns if you don't mind the risk and PvP exposure. If I'm being tactical, I'll rotate between Brimhaven, Taverley, and the Catacombs of Kourend because they balance spawn density with nearby banking or quick teleports. I use a slayer ring or house teleport to minimize downtime and bring an Earmuffs or Protect from Magic if necessary. For group sessions I sometimes camp a multi-combat area where cannoning is allowed — the kills fly by. I also keep RuneLite's Slayermonster indicators on so Greater Demons are highlighted; that plugin saves me minutes of searching. Practical tips: bring a bite of prayer potions and a good defensive set if you're meleeing; ranged or magic works well if you want to safespot certain spawns. If you want exact tile locations, the quickest path is to glance at the 'Greater Demon' page on the OSRS Wiki and cross-reference with in-game markers. Happy hunting — these guys drop some decent loot and they make slayer tasks feel satisfying.

What prayer should I use against osrs greater demon slayer?

If you're facing a Greater Demon on a Slayer task in 'Old School RuneScape', the prayer situation is pretty straightforward but worth a little nuance. I usually run Protect from Melee when I'm trying to play safe — Greater Demons hit with melee, and that prayer dramatically cuts their damage so you can tank or train without constantly banking. If I'm trying to speed-run a task and I'm confident in my gear and food, I swap in offensive prayers like Piety or Chivalry to maximize DPS. For lower levels, Chivalry is a great middle ground; for higher levels Piety gives the best punch. Bring prayer potions or a regeneration method if you plan to protect for long stretches, and remember to flick off protection and flick on a boost when you know you can finish a kill quickly to save prayer points. If you're ranged or mage-kiting them, use the corresponding offensive prayers instead and don't bother with Protect from Melee unless you mis-position. Personally, I keep Protect from Melee as my go-to when the task drags, and I switch to Piety for short, efficient bursts — works every time and keeps my death count low.

What Slayer level do I need for osrs greater demon slayer tasks?

Okay, here's the straight talk: you need 90 Slayer to be assigned greater demons as a Slayer task in Old School RuneScape. I ran into this a while back when I was grinding mid-level monsters — greater demons felt like a weird gate because their combat level is higher than lots of people expect, but the real limiter for getting them on task is that 90 Slayer threshold. If you’re gearing up, treat them like a mid-to-high-level slayer trip: decent melee or ranged gear, prayer flicking or protection depending on where you’re fighting, and consider a cannon if you’ve got the money and a safe multi-spot. Slayer masters won’t give you greater demons below 90, but you can still kill them outside of a task for drops; you just won’t get Slayer XP from those kills. I found it a satisfying step-up in difficulty when I hit the requirement — good challenge and decent drops, so bring your best setup and enjoy the grind.

What is the best gear for killing greater demons osrs?

If you’re heading into greater demons in 'Old School RuneScape', I usually lean toward a straight-up melee setup for speed and simplicity. I like an Abyssal whip in the main hand with a Dragon defender if I’m doing longer trips — it keeps the kills fast without needing to sacrifice too much defence. On top of that I’ll wear a mix of high-accuracy melee pieces: think about a mix of Rune or Barrows pieces depending on your bank, a good pair of gloves (Barrows gloves if you’ve got them), and whichever cape gives the best offensive boost you own. Prayer-wise I turn on Piety if I’ve got the level; it absolutely shaves time off each kill. Inventory is basic but effective: high-heal food, a few prayer potions if I’m using Piety, a teleport out, and a bit of space for rune or bolt drops. If it’s a Slayer task I slap on a Slayer helmet — just makes everything smoother. If you prefer ranged, Toxic blowpipe with high-quality darts and black d'hide makes them trivial from a distance, and for magic the trident-style weapons or high-damage spells work fine if you like AFK-ish kills. Tactics matter: single-target DPS wins here. Bring enough supplies to avoid banking constantly, stand where you don’t get agro from extras, and use your slayer or prayer bonuses when you can. Personally, I find whip + defender runs the most satisfying — quick, clean, and good XP — and I always come away with more loot than I expected.

What are the best weapon choices against greater demons osrs?

Whenever I go on a slayer trip in 'Old School RuneScape', I reach for a mix of speed and solid damage. For pure melee I usually bring an abyssal whip for its speed and accuracy — it makes the kills feel effortless and keeps XP ticking. If I need raw crush power I switch to an abyssal bludgeon or another high-strength crush weapon because crushing hits tend to rack up damage quickly on tougher targets; it’s heavier but satisfying when it connects. If I’m trying to finish a task faster or handle a higher-defense greater demon, I’ll throw a Dragon Warhammer or a heavy-hitting special weapon into the rotation to lower their defence for a burst window. For non-melee approaches I love the toxic blowpipe for range: it’s fast, efficient with darts, and melts through health on long tasks. For magic, a trident (or other high-damage, castable staff) gives consistent single-target damage without swapping spells or worrying about runes. In short, pick a weapon that matches your attack bonuses and playstyle: fast accuracy for steady kills or heavy-hitting specials for burst — both feel great depending on the mood. I usually leave the bossing session smiling, especially when the special strikes line up just right.

What notable drops do greater demons osrs yield on average?

If you’ve ever farmed greater demons in 'Old School RuneScape', you quickly learn that the loot feels like a steady trickle rather than jackpot strikes. Most kills reliably drop big bones and a handful of coins, which is why I usually end a session with a pile of prayer XP fodder and pocket change. On top of that you’ll commonly see low‑to‑mid tier metal gear and rune‑level junk: think runes, some rune or adamant weapons/armor fragments, and the odd gem or herb. These are the things that keep the GP-per-hour modest but consistent. Every so often the table surprises me with slightly rarer things. Demons can drop ensouled demon heads (handy if you’re into Prayer or making use of the Dark Altar), and it’s not unheard of to pick up a clue scroll or a decent rune piece if you’re lucky. Overall I treat greater demon trips as reliable Slayer XP with incidental loot — I stash the bones for banking and sell the random rune gear when it stacks up. Feels chill and steady, which I kind of like.
