Greater Demon Guide FAQs
Below is some of the most frequently asked questions by players reading this strategy guide and looking to kill Greater Demons for the first time.
What are Greater Demons weak against?
As with all demons, the Greater Demons are weak to demonbane weaponry such as the Arclight, Silverlight and Darklight. They also have a weakness to bolts, which can be beneficial to low level accounts on a budget wishing to make use of safespots. However, the Toxic Blowpipe will produce faster kills due to its faster attack speed over crossbow alternatives.
Can you safe spot Greater Demons?
Yes, Greater Demons can be safe spotted in almost all of their locations. One of the best places to safe spot Greater Demons is in the Chasm of Fire as there are many pillars and boulders players can hide behind while attacking the Greater Demons. The area also allows for cannons to be placed to maximise kills per hour.
Are Greater Demons good tasks?
Yes, Greater Demons can be good tasks. They have very low defence, making them good melee experience. There is faster slayer experience tasks available that allow for barraging or chinning. But, they still provide a moderate amount of slayer experience per hour due to their low defence and ability to use a cannon at multiple locations.
