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.

Trying to keep it simple: Greater Demons attack with melee, so your default defensive prayer is Protect from Melee in 'Old School RuneScape'. I flip that on when I'm soloing and want to minimize damage, especially if I'm using melee gear or wearing a slayer helmet.
If I'm focused on speed and my HP/gear are solid, I'll use offensive prayers like Piety (or Chivalry if my prayer level or gear is lower) to maximize kills per hour. If I'm range-kiting them, use Rigour for range or Augury for magic when appropriate. Always pack prayer potions if you plan to use sustained protection; otherwise, flicking between offensive and defensive prayers saves runes and prayer points. Honestly, a quick Protect from Melee gets me through the annoying ones without drama, and I switch to Piety when I want to blast through the task fast.

When I'm optimizing a slayer trip, I think of prayers as either defensive insurance or damage multipliers. Greater Demons rely on melee attacks, so Protect from Melee is the obvious defensive choice in 'Old School RuneScape' — it reduces incoming melee so you take fewer hits and waste less food. I tend to toggle: start with a burst of Piety to clear a small group quickly, then toggle Protect from Melee to tank the singles while I loot or re-gear.
Longer sessions demand resource planning: prayer potions, maybe an altar, or weight-saving gear that lets you avoid constant banking. If you're not meleeing them, use Rigour or Augury depending on whether you’re ranging or maging, and skip protection entirely unless you get trapped. If slayer tasks are your thing, wearing a slayer helmet or similar task-boosting items pairs nicely with offensive prayers for more efficient kills. I prefer balancing offense and safety — I push with Piety when the spawn is right and fall back to Protect from Melee when things get messy; it keeps my trips profitable and low-stress.

For a quick, no-nonsense tip: Greater Demons attack via melee in 'Old School RuneScape', so Protect from Melee is your defensive go-to. I turn it on whenever I'm tanking or being lazy about positioning.
If I'm trying to get the fastest kill times, I switch to an offensive prayer like Piety or Chivalry depending on my level and gear. Bring prayer potions if you want to keep protection up for long periods, otherwise practice flicking between protection and your damage prayer. Personally, I like starting with a damage boost to clear a couple quickly, then flipping to Protect from Melee when the spawns get annoying — much less healing and fewer sighs.

Do you believe in love between humans and demons? Will there be a happy ending between humans and demons?
The Wife Of Great Demon King is the journey of Luna Edwards and her lover, the powerful demon king, Leo Valdez. A fateful meeting when Luna was forced to marry the demon king so that she could protect her family. She had no choice because her family signed a contract to sell their life to the devil.
Leo Valdez, the demon of hatred, the demon king holding thousands of demons in his hands, who can make the whole world sink in pain and death. He is a cold-blooded person who doesn't know what love is, but since he met Luna. Her warmth and sunny smile melted the heart of a demon lord making him fall in love with her and want to possess her for his own.
The battle broke out between the seven powerful demon kings for world domination. Human greed, envy, and hatred have made the seven great demon kings more and more powerful. War broke out and Luna, an ordinary person, was suddenly caught up in the battle of the demon kings. With her love and kindness, Luna not only made Leo Valdez feel that there was not only hatred in this world but also love and sympathy. Just knowing how to forgive, all hatred in the world will disappear. And when Leo fell in love with Luna, it was also when he gradually lost his own strength, he learned to love, learned to understand and then he no longer felt the meaning of existence in the world.
Two independent individuals, one person and one demon, seemingly parallel lines, finally met and created a heartbreakingly beautiful love story.

What is the best gear for killing greater demons osrs?
4 Answers2025-11-07 20:05:08
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?
4 Answers2025-11-07 00:45:58
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.
How much slayer XP do greater demons osrs give per kill?
4 Answers2025-11-07 16:43:18
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.
Which safe spots work against greater demons osrs in combat?
4 Answers2025-11-07 17:12:12
I love tinkering with safe spots, and for greater demons I usually rely on the classic pillar/corner trick because it’s simple and reliable.
I’ll walk you through what I do: find a wall or pillar so the demon can’t path directly to you, stand in the corner tile that’s adjacent to the obstacle, then use ranged or magic to chip away at it. Greater demons melee, so if they can’t take the direct step to your tile they’ll just stand there while you fire from range. It works great in places like the bigger dungeon rooms where natural pillars or rock formations exist.
Two extra things I always keep in mind: first, test the tile by luring one demon and seeing if it walks up — some spawned demons can path around oddly shaped terrain. Second, bring food and Protect from Melee if you mess up; safer to overprepare. I find it relaxing to sit back and plink them down with a blowpipe or short burst of spells while I binge a show, and it’s a great way to grind slayer without sweating the fight.
