What Slayer Level Do I Need For Osrs Greater Demon Slayer Tasks?

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.

I get a kick out of answering this one because it's a little counterintuitive: you don't actually need to finish any quest to fight greater demons in 'Old School RuneScape'. They are regular slayable monsters scattered through several dungeons and Wilderness spots, and they show up as standard Slayer assignments. So if your goal is simply to access greater demon slayer content, the main gate is your Slayer master and your Slayer level, not a storyline quest. That said, certain quests make getting to the best greater demon spots way easier. For example, completing 'Fairy Tale II - Cure a Queen' (or the parts needed for fairy ring access) drastically cuts travel time, and finishing 'Desert Treasure' gives you the Ancient Magicks spellbook, which can be useful in some combat setups. Other quest completions that open teleports or shortcuts—anything that makes travel cheaper and safer—are worth doing if you plan to farm them a lot. Personally I prioritize the travel/utility quests first so my slayer trips feel smooth and efficient.

Good news — dust devil tasks unlock at 65 Slayer in 'Old School RuneScape'. I've bumped into that breakpoint more times than I can count while grinding early-mid game slayer, and hitting 65 feels like unlocking a new category of monsters that actually make tasks interesting. Once you hit 65 Slayer, you become eligible to receive dust devil as a slayer assignment from the usual masters. In practice that means you'll start seeing them on your task rotation and can go hunt them for Slayer experience and decent drops. I usually treat 65 as the start of a more comfortable slayer phase: bring accurate gear, a few restores, and your slayer helmet if you have it. I also like checking where they're easiest to camp (safe spots or multi-areas) before I commit to a long trip. If you haven’t reached 65 yet, focus on easy tasks that give good XP per hour or pick up Slayer points via slayer masters that give bonus assignment XP. Reaching 65 felt nice — a little upgrade in variety — and dust devils quickly became one of my favorite middle-tier tasks to grind.

Ever had one of those in-game lightbulb moments? I did when I finally unlocked dust devils in 'Old School RuneScape' — the requirement is 65 Slayer. Hit 65 Slayer and dust devils can start showing up as slayer assignments from the usual masters; they’re classed as a mid-tier slayer monster, so you’ll want some decent combat stats and gear before you go hunting. When I got tasked with them, I took a solid melee setup with good accuracy and a handful of restores and prayer pots. Bring anything that boosts hit chance and damage — a slayer helmet or equivalent headgear, decent weapon, and some food. I also like to tag tasks with boosts (like an XP lamp or potion) if I’m trying to speed through to the next unlock. They’re satisfying targets because the kills feel efficient and the drops can be worth your time during long tasks. If you’re grinding slayer, 65 is a great milestone: it opens up dust devils and a few other useful options, which makes mid-level slayer a lot more fun. I left my last task feeling pleasantly rich and a bit smug about finally hitting that level.

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.

Yep — you need level 90 Slayer to get assigned Dark beasts in 'Old School RuneScape'. I hit that milestone a while back and felt like a VIP unlocking one of the nastier high-level tasks. They’re a proper post-85 Slayer grind: high HP, nasty hits, and generally a great source of consistent loot if you’ve got the stats and patience. If you’re planning to tackle them, bring decent offensive gear and the usual Slayer trimmings: food, potions, and a Slayer helmet if you can use one. Ranged is popular because you can kite and avoid some of their melee damage, but solid melee setups work too if you’ve got decent defence and prayer. They hit hard enough that you’ll appreciate range or strong defensive prayers to stay alive through long tasks. A few practical tips from personal runs: do them on a Slayer task for best XP/loot ratio, use an antifire or relevant protection depending on location quirks, and consider a team or a cannon if you’re doing mass kills and the area permits it. They’re a grind but satisfying once you streamline the setup — I usually end a session feeling like I earned the drops and the Slayer XP.

I've spent way too many hours chasing slayer tasks around the various caves, so here’s the short-and-practical take: you don’t need any specific slayer level just to walk into the Stronghold slayer dungeon itself — the cave is open to all. What matters is the slayer level required to actually be assigned or to damage certain creatures inside. In practice you’ll encounter enemies that span the full spectrum: low-level nuisance mobs that any new slayer can handle, mid-tier foes that usually sit in the 30–60 slayer range, and higher-tier monsters that will expect 60+ or even 70+ slayer. If you want concrete planning points, expect to see a mix of weak, medium, and strong slayer-only creatures. For example, many players treat the Stronghold area as a place where you might get tasks that require anywhere from the mid-30s up through the mid-70s depending on the monster — so bring gear to cover that variability. My usual approach is to check the Slayer master when I get the task (they tell you the slayer level requirement) and then consult the in-game slayer log or the OSRS Wiki for the exact monster breakdown before I commit time. That avoids wasted trips and keeps your trip loot-positive. If you want a single practical rule of thumb: don’t go in thinking everything there is low-level. Bring flexible gear, a few different combat styles or spells, and enough supplies to handle anything from a quick low-level task to a longer high-level slayer grind. Personally, that mix-and-match mindset saved me a bunch of time and made the cave a lot more rewarding.
