Thermonuclear Smoke Devil Gear Setups
Finding the most optimal gear to use when killing the Thermonuclear Smoke Devil in OSRS is important. There are two commonly used setups, one is melee and one is magic. The Magic setup involves the use of the Shadow Staff and the Melee Setup involves the use of the Scythe of Vitur. If you do not have access to either then use your best melee gear and weapon. Example max gear setups can be seen below.
Melee Gear Setup
Magic Gear Setup

- Do not teleport to POH between kills. It is significantly slower on average.
- Arceuus spellbook for Thralls.
Mechanics
The thermonuclear smoke devil only has one attack, which is a typeless magical ranged attack. This means:
- Protection prayers have no effect.
- Accuracy of the attack based on the ranged attack bonuses of Thermy and the magical defence bonuses of the player.
- Max hit of attack is 8 (can never die if redemption prayer is active).
- Attack range of 8 tiles, attack speed of 2 ticks.
How to kill Thermy?
Players with the redemption prayer can use this as a way of consistently restoring hitpoints at Thermy. Due to thermy only having a max hit of 8, so long as the prayer is active, the player will always active redemption when falling below 10 hp. Restoring their hp back up, once activated the player will need to sip a prayer or super restore dose and re-activate the prayer (using quick-prayers ideally).
Walk-Under Method
Since the player attacks far slower than the thermonuclear smoke devil. Walking under the boss while your weapon is on cooldown can negate some of the damage the boss deals. Without this method the boss can deal between 2 and 2.5 attacks for every 1 attack you do. Therefore, the method can reduce damage up to 60%.
