Soul Devourers

Introduction

There are 6 types of soul devourers, ranging from 105 to 117 Slayer slayer. The Magister may also be killed for this task, requiring 115 Slayer slayer. The mobs each require a different level of attention, and the profits differ.

⬥ The Magister will give 8000 Slayer slayer experience per kill and benefit from the use of Tuska's Wrath Tuskas, but the slayer helmet slayerhelm effect does not work on him.

Method - AFK Melee

Feline akh's have harder hitting attacks than Salawas, and a special attack which deals high magic damage and makes nearby feline akh's aggressive towards you. This occurs when the mob reaches 2500 life points, and hits when the bar above their head fully charges. Despite this, they can very easily be AFK'd in the same method as Salawas, and are often killed for their common elite clue drops eliteclue. Due to their harder hitting attacks, the usage of a vampyrism scrimshaw is recommended, as the player should be praying DeflectMelee.

Due to their low life points their dangerous special attack can be ignored. After 5 auto-attacks, they strike the floor to deal a large 3000 hit through deflect prayers. With a good setup they can be AFK'd. At 105 Slayer slayer it is possible to use Wilder Pies to boost, to kill these; however, at 111 Slayer slayer it is recommended to move on to the Imperial akhs via the usage of a Wilder Pie.
