Greater demon berserkers and ash lords

​

Introduction

Greater demon variants found southwest of Elite Dungeon 2 and within the Zamorakian undercity elite dungeon are significantly stronger than standard greater demons.

​

⬥ The two wilderness variants of enhanced greater demons attack using melee (berserker) and magic (ash lord). The wilderness population is weaker than those found in the Zamorakian undercity and are poisonable . Along with access to buffs, this makes them ideal for slayer training.

​

⬥ Since they don't have any unique drops, a can be used for additional slayer XP. This makes greater demon berserkers and ash lords some of the best AFK slayer exp in the game.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• This also means there's no reason to do them off-task.

General strategy

Enhanced greater demon variants possess high damage and cannot be recklessly AoE'd unlike many other slayer mobs. Hence, it would be best to safespot them or at most tank 2 of them at once.

​

⬥ Players who do not possess end game equipment may utilise a safespot west of the dungeon as shown below:

⬥ Players who are well-geared and can afford to tank their attacks may run south and position themselves on a small peninsula as shown below, using a to aggro the demons.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• This spot allows you to lure 5 demons in total (3 ash lords + 2 berserkers), and limits the number of demons attacking you to at most 2 at once (1 Ash lord + 1 Berserker) as other demons will be stuck behind.

Method: AFK Magic/Ranged

With high end gear, both and can be used to AFK the demons, at around the same rates.

​

⬥ When you need to repair the , quickly out, click, and then back to the suggested spot.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Check that the demons did not walk in a way which gets them stuck.

​

**Note: ** During the initial lure, the demons may get stuck in a conformation that makes them unable to approach you, to resolve this, kill the initial wave and then walk back to the suggested spot.
