Slaying Greater Demons
After finishing the Kalphites with the previous task, I was now asked to slay 191 greater demons. Greater demons have 92 combat and give only 87 slayer points.
I have not fought these creatures for some time, so I was not sure what to bring. On other occasions I have bought Guthans, but I felt confident to handle them without Guthans now that I have 99 attack and strength. Below is what I took with me. I was wearing dragon boots, dragon legs, black mask, rune platebody, rune defender shield, abyssal whip, wealth ring, attack cape and barrows gloves.
I often like to take a chisel with me when I go to battle so that I can craft a few gems along the way and then possibly throw them away. I took some nats and fire runes in case that I needed to alch anything, but as it turns out, I forgot that Greater Demons drop quite a few fire tunes, so they were not needed. I like to take a super set with me so that the task is over with quicker. I used Brimhaven dungeon to slay these greater demons, so I needed gold to take the boat to Brimhaven from Ardy and also to pay entrance to the dungeon. The rune axe was to cut through the vines blocking parts of the dungeon. You may want to use a weaker axe if you want to.
The Greater Demon area can be crowded in parts at times, so you may want to world hop or move to a different area to get a better go at them. I moved to the SW corner and found a relatively good show there for the world I was in. The wild dogs will attack you often while your immunity is not working, but at least they provide some charms now. I got 3 green charms and 3 crimson charms from them. The rock showing at the top of the right hand side screen is any area where you can range them or use magic on them. Another area is where the white dot is on the SE side of the display. A mage was there at this time.
The picture above shows the rewards from the 191 greater demon slayer task. Four full rune helmets were a good prise. 83 charms were looted, and of those 83, 56 of them were crimson charms, 16 green charms, 9 gold charms and 1 blue charm. So these monsters are quite good for any players after crimson charms. 21K of gold was looted, although 3 alchs were made, 2x mith kites and 1x addy legs. Another addy leg is waiting and some steel 2-handers and some gold bars were left on the ground. Greater Demons drop cooked Tuna at times too, which helps keep your health up during the task.

is it very hatd to kill a greater demon if you are level 69-71 as long as you have a full inventory of food, and uh one other thing… would silverlight help much? I know darklight would but I don’t have that yet…

Thanks Blamedegrunt, I hope that it was of some value for you?
Jayne160, I personally do not bother with silverlight or darklight swords. They may help you though, being at the level that you are, but I have never used them.
You could kill them at your level, but you are probably best fighting lower level monsters at first, so that you can get your levels up. When I was your level I was still in non members and spent quite a bit of time fighting Moss Giants. In members there are far more choices to make.
Perhaps you could do some slayer tasks with the master at Canifis? That way you will be introduced to some new creatures to fight and gain some experience.

um…. one problem… how do you get to canifis? I looked at RuneHQ (yes I look there for answers and it may spoil a little fun but that’s not the point…) and they didn’t put much on how to get there

Have you done priest of peril? If so, walk east from the lumberyard which is north east of varrock and go through the tunnel with drezel and keep following the path east and you will reach canifis.

good job on killing a greater demon at 36 combat riley & jake at 48 combat,
but keep in mind for slayer you will probally get tasks from about 160-200+ greaters, so id try to kill lower level monsters till you level combat, unless you really want to kill them
