For something quick and snappy, I prefer standing on tiles that a demon can’t path to — think corners, pillars, narrow choke points or the base of a stair where their movement is blocked. The simplest approach is to lure a greater demon, bait it into pursuing you, then duck behind a tiny obstacle and fire with ranged or splash spells. It’s a relatively low-skill method that saves food and lets me multi-task.

I always bring a little extra prayer or a handful of food just in case the pathfinding glitches, and I watch for other aggressive mobs nearby that could ruin the trap. When it works, it’s ridiculously satisfying to see a demon stare at a wall while you casually finish the kill — great for long grinding sessions and keeps the adrenaline low.

On days when I’m feeling meticulous, I treat greater demon safe-spotting like a little puzzle. I scout the room first to identify all walkable tiles and obstacles, then pick a tile that forces the demon to take a long path or blocks it entirely. Stairs and ladders can be especially handy: sometimes you can attack from a higher or lower level tile where the demon can’t step, effectively creating a vertical safe spot. It’s not universal, so I always test it once before committing to a long trip.

Another method I use when map features are sparse is to create an artificial choke by using door mechanics (open/close to trap the demon) or by positioning myself against an obstruction so that only a single tile is exposed. When that’s in place, I switch to a fast ranged weapon and a couple of brews or prayer restores, because greater demons hit noticeably hard if you mis-time a reposition. There’s also a nice rhythm to it: lure, step back, plink, repeat — I find it meditative and efficient for slayer tasks, and it keeps my supplies low while still being fast.

If I want something low-effort and predictable, I go for one-tile gap safe spots — doorways, narrow corridors, or any Choke point where the demon cannot squeeze through. The trick is to lure the demon into position, step just past the gap so it follows, then step back into the safe tile and attack from range. For me this is perfect in cramped dungeon areas because the greater demon won’t be able to path around the obstacle, so it sits there taking hits.

I always use ranged gear when I plan to safe-spot: it keeps movement down and damage steady. Also check whether the particular room has other monsters that could tag you; single-target safe-spotting collapses fast if something else aggros. I like topping my trips with prayer flicks to save runes or ammo, and it’s surprisingly relaxing to watch a demon slowly melt while I focus on inventory management.

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.

“BEG ME, HUMAN," he growled, his grip on my hair tightening as he pushed harder. “BEG ME TO HAVE YOU.” I tried to say no, to resist, but I burned to have him. The pain was much but I found myself wanting him more. Kaelen was a skilled thief with a decent life—until he stole a cursed spellbook from the Inquisition and accidentally summoned Thrakos, the Demon King. Hoping to bind the demon to his will, the ritual backfired, leaving Kaelen magically and sexually bound to a horny Thrakos instead. Now a pawn in Thrakos’s war against his brother Vaelith, Kaelen gains dangerous powers but loses control. Hunted by Inquisitors, demons, and monsters, he must travel to Vermont to retrieve the Hell-blade—a sacred weapon forged to kill Vaelith. With Sylvia and a shapeshifting succubus at his side, Kaelen faces deadly enemies and the growing darkness within himself. With each climax and surge of power, Kaelen becomes less human and more demon. When the final battle comes, will he fight for freedom—or embrace his new nature and become the Demon King’s ultimate weapon?

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.

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.

Where can I find osrs greater demon slayer spawn locations?

3 Answers2026-01-31 23:43:19

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?

4 Answers2026-01-31 14:05:37

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.
