Black Demon FAQs
Below is some of the most frequently asked questions by players reading this strategy guide and looking to kill Black Demons for the first time.
What are Black Demons weak to?
Like all Demons, they are weak to demonbane weapons, this makes the Arclight a very good weapon here. Silverlight and Darklight also work here, so use whichever tier you have currently.
Should I block Black Demon tasks?
Yes, if you are interested purely in slayer experience then Black Demons are definitely one for the block list. They are commonly assigned by all high-level slayer masters and offer slow experience rates per hour. As they can not be barraged or chinned, they also do not offer any consistent value in their drops.
Do black demons drop clue scrolls?
Yes, Black Demons drop the Hard clue scroll. At a rate of 1/128 or 1/64 if the monster is killed in the wilderness with a ring of wealth (i) equipped.
