I. Info on the Abyssal Demon

Abyssal Demon

The abyssal demon is a level 124 members-only demon, which which can yield great rewards for skilled adventurers. Aside from a wide variety of valuable loot, the Abyssal Demon is the only monster to drop the highly coveted Abyssal Whip - worth over 1.5M each on the street.

The Abyssal Demon has 150 health points and is non-aggressive and non-poisonous. When fighting the demon, it teleports between the four squares next to you, so it is highly recommended that you leave auto-retaliate on, just to make your job a little easier.

II. Required/Suggested Skills

Requirements
  • 85 Slayer
  • Priest in Peril Quest
Suggested Levels
  • 80+ Attack, Strength, Defense
  • 70+ Prayer (if you run out of food)
  • 68 Summoning to bring Bunyip Pouches
  • 66 Magic and Desert Treasure done (optional way to get to slayer tower, not needed for anything else)
  • 65 Agility for 2 agility shortcuts, making the trip a lot faster

IV. What To Bring

Suggested Inventory

These are the four most common inventories brought to the abyssal demons. I prefer the regular options: numbers one and two because they work very efficiently.

V. Getting To the Slayer Tower

Map to the Slayer Tower

Green-Walk/run from Varrock east bank past the gate and down into the tunnel, go up the cave entrance, and walk to the slayer tower.

Black-Walk/run past the gate and go south at the monastery to the agility shortcut (65 agility required). Then follow the path regularly.

Red-Use the ancient magicks Kharyrll Teleport to the Canifis bar (66 magic required) and walk regularly up to the slayer tower.

There is also an obelisk at the fork to recharge summoning points.

Finding The Demons

When you arrive at the Slayer Tower, proceed to the third floor to find the Abyssal Demons. Make sure to wear your nosepeg before going to the second floor because the Aberrant Specters can inflict major damage on you if you don’t have the nosepeg on. Because they’re only worth 200 gp, you can drop them after you get to the third floor to save up inventory space. There is a shorter way up if you have 65 agility or higher, so this is recommended.

VI. Killing the Abyssal Demon

Abyssal demons have low defense for their level and is suggested to overpower them especially with a god sword or abyssal whip. You can get very good drops from them, especially the highly sought after item: the abyssal whip. They drop crimson charms at a very high rate.

VII. Drops

100% - Ashes (don’t even bother picking up)

What To Keep- Dragon Spear, Rune Battleaxe, Rune 2h, Dragon Med Helm, Rune Chainbody, Rune Kiteshield, Rune Med Helm, Rune Sq Shield, All Runes/Arrows, Clue Scroll, Cut Dragonstone, Half Keys, Herbs, Runite Bar, 60 Noted Pure Essence, 100 Noted Silver Ores

What to Alch- anything that is over the price of a nature rune and something you wouldn’t waste space carrying in your inventory (ex. Mithril Kiteshield, Black Sword)

If you are lucky enough, you will get the most sought after drop from the Abyssal Demon: the Abyssal Whip, worth over 1.5M in the Grand Exchange.
