For 'notable drops,' you're looking at stuff like the Elder maul, D claws, and the Twisted bow—though that last one is famously rare. The average value can be skewed hard by a big ticket item. Speaking of demons, a title I stumbled across, 'Captured by the Demon King,' plays with the concept of power dynamics in a different way, following a human alchemist who gets taken to a demon realm and has to use her wits to survive and negotiate, rather than just fight for loot. It's a neat shift in perspective.

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.

Something I’ve noticed over dozens of demon tasks is that greater demons are about consistency: they drop heaps of big bones and a steady supply of coins and lesser items like herbs and low tier metal gear. You’ll see rareness trickle in — ensouled demon heads and occasional rune‑quality pieces — but those are bonuses rather than the norm. For me they’re ideal for AFK Slayer sessions because the loot is predictable and the bones alone are worth the time if you plan to train Prayer or sell them later. I usually leave feeling like I made slow, steady progress and that’s a satisfying kind of grind.

Counting loot from greater demons feels like tallying nickels and quarters that eventually add up. I usually break their drops into three buckets: very common (big bones, coins), common-ish (runes, herbs, low to mid tier metal gear), and rare-ish (ensouled demon heads, occasional clue scrolls, or higher‑tier rune pieces). In my runs the most frequent and useful thing is the big bones — they’re great for Prayer training or selling to merchants. The rune and adamant drops show up often enough to cover consumables, but you shouldn’t expect massive GP spikes per kill.

Tactically, I kill them on Slayer tasks for the XP boost and use safe spots where possible to keep trips long and efficient. If I’m in a group or duo, the incidental rune drops become more noticeable simply because of the higher kill rate. Solo, it feels slower but steadier. I like bringing teleport tabs and a looting system so I can maximize time between banking; it’s a chill grind with the occasional pleasant surprise, and that slowly builds up your bank over time.

I spend a lot of time camping demons for Slayer tasks and the pattern is familiar: mostly big bones, assorted herbs/seeds from the general seed/herb table, some runes and low-value armor bits, plus coins. Those small, repeatable drops add up over many kills and are why greater demons are attractive for AFK-friendly Slayer work rather than pure GP hunting. Occasionally you’ll snag something a little nicer — an uncommon rune weapon or an ensouled demon head — but the real value is in steady drops and efficient XP. If I’m optimizing, I stack looting bags where possible, burn the bones for Prayer or sell them, and let the smaller rune bits fund food and gear. It’s relaxing grinding that doesn’t demand hyperfocus, and I tend to enjoy the rhythm of it.

How can I farm osrs greater demon slayer for rare drops?

4 Answers2026-01-31 20:32:14
Grinding greater demons for rare drops in 'Old School RuneScape' has become one of my favorite little chores — it’s that perfect mix of chill looping and the tiny heartbeat when you see a rare hit the ground. I always start by locking in a Slayer task for greater demons; you'll get the best efficiency and a steady supply of kills, and I treat each task like a mini session goal so my focus stays sharp. For gear I prioritize speed and survivability. If I want raw kill rate, I bring the fastest weapon I can reliably hit with, decent armour that lets me tank a few hits, and the prayer setup that keeps me alive while maximizing uptime. Potions (attack/strength or ranged alternative) and food are staples. If the area allows it, I’ll drop a dwarf multicannon to absolutely shred respawns — it’s messy but brilliant for pure volume. I also use safe-spots or ranged/mage methods where possible to cut downtime. Loot-management is underrated: bring a teleport or a stamina option so I can bank without wasting time, and keep a small stack of inventory space reserved for uniques. I track my kills and take quick notes about dry streaks so I don’t get tilted. Above all, patience and consistent sessions win — I’ve had nights where long grind sessions turned into two rare drops, and nights where I got nothing, but the systems above helped me feel in control and entertained.

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 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 do abyssal demon osrs drop at high rates?

4 Answers2025-11-06 01:26:12
Alright, here's the lowdown from my grind logs and what I've seen others pull — focusing on the high-frequency stuff you actually see once you start killing a pile of abyssal demons. Most common drops you'll notice are coins, various runes (death and chaos show up a lot for me), and a steady trickle of herbs and seeds. They also drop dragon bones fairly often compared to other slayer monsters of a similar level, which is why many people bank pure profit from bones alone. Add in the usual miscellany — low- to mid-tier weapons/armor pieces, and occasional noted items — and that becomes your reliable yield when you're doing long trips. On top of that, abyssal demons have a few headline drops that are rare rather than common: the 'abyssal whip' and 'abyssal dagger' are what most people are hunting for, but don't expect those at high rates. If you're doing slayer tasks, bring a blood rune stack or a good melee setup, and don't forget that the consistent coin + runes + bones + herbs is what makes longer trips worthwhile. Personally, I enjoy the quiet rhythm of collecting bones and herbs while chasing that one glorious whip.

Where can I find greater demons osrs for slayer tasks?

7 Answers2026-07-28 19:21:45
If you've been handed a greater demon slayer task, the quickest route is to think in terms of spawn-dense dungeons and a couple of riskier surface spots. Greater demons commonly spawn in Brimhaven Dungeon on Karamja — it's a favorite because there are lots of aggressive spawns clustered together and it's relatively safe if you bring teleport options. Another reliable place is the Catacombs of Kourend; those catacombs have concentrated monster rooms that make tasking efficient, plus the Prayer bonus from overheads can help with kills. If you're feeling bold, the Wilderness has a few greater demon locations that are fast to reach but PvP-dangerous; bring what you can afford to lose and use single-way teleports or clan world mechanics if needed. Pro tips: use a slayer helmet (if your slayer master allows it), bring a few prayer potions for protection or protection prayers, and consider melee with a good weapon for speed. If you want exact spawn maps or want to check drop tables, the best companion is the OSRS Wiki page 'Greater demon', which lists all the known spawns, drops, and combat details — that helped me plan better runs and avoid wasted trips.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What items do dark beasts osrs drop per kill?

3 Answers2025-11-24 05:26:13
Hunting dark beasts always feels a bit cinematic to me — dark cavern, glowing eyes, and that satisfying clack when a kill drops big bones. From my runs, the most consistent things I see per kill are in a few clear categories: bones (big bones are the norm, which are great for Prayer XP), coins (small amounts most kills, with occasional larger coin drops), and stacks of runes and herbs. You’ll also commonly get low-to-mid tier melee or ranged armour pieces and weaponry — think rune-ish drops occasionally showing up as the uncommon loot on the table. Beyond the commons, dark beasts feed into the usual Rare Drop Table (RDT) pool, so every so often you’ll get something that actually pays for several kills: higher-value rune gear, on occasion bolt tips and other ranged components, and the occasional high-value herb or uncut gem. Clue scrolls and occasional medium-to-high-tier drops can pop up too, but those are far less frequent. Overall, expect steady bones and small GP per kill with the chance of much better one-offs; it’s a great slayer task to afk for prayer XP while hoping for something shiny. I’ve found patience and a little luck usually make the grind worth it.
