Greater Demons Safe Spot OSRS Guide for Easy Kills

Greater Demons Safe Spot OSRS Guide for Easy Kills

Hey, fellow Old School RuneScape adventurers! If you’re grinding Slayer tasks or chasing some sweet loot, Greater Demons are probably on your hit list. These beefy boys can hit hard, but with the right safe spot, you can take them down without breaking a sweat. As someone who’s spent way too many hours in OSRS, from slaying dragons to farming clues, I’ve got the lowdown on Greater Demons safe spots that’ll make your life easier. I’ve been through the grind, messed up a few times, and learned the best tricks to share with you. Ready to make those demons cry? Let’s dive in!

Greater Demons are those big, red, scary dudes you’ll meet on Slayer tasks or while hunting for loot in specific dungeons. They’re level 92, with some beefier versions at higher levels, and they hit like a truck if you’re not prepared. I remember my first Greater Demon task back in the day I was a noob with a rune scimmy, thinking I could tank them. Spoiler: I teleported out with half my food gone! These guys drop some juicy stuff, like rune full helms and clue scrolls, so mastering their safe spots is a game-changer.

Why Use Safe Spots?

Safe spotting means you can attack without taking damage. It’s like bullying the demons while they can’t touch you. Who doesn’t love that? For me, safe spotting Greater Demons saved my bank from chugging Saradomin brews. It’s perfect for low-defense players or if you’re just trying to chill during a long Slayer task.

Best Locations for Greater Demons Safe Spots

Greater Demons spawn in a few spots across Gielinor, but not all are great for safe spotting. I’ve scouted the best places where you can park yourself and let your attacks do the talking. Here are my top picks based on countless hours of demon-slaying.

Brimhaven Dungeon

Brimhaven Dungeon is my go-to for Greater Demons. It’s on Karamja, and you’ll need 875 coins to enter (or an Amulet of Glory to teleport nearby). The demons here are nicely spaced, and there’s a sweet safe spot near the entrance. I once spent an entire Saturday here, farming for a rune full helm drop, and let me tell you, finding that safe spot felt like hitting the jackpot.

How to Safe Spot in Brimhaven:

  • Run to the Greater Demons area (watch out for wild dogs!).
  • Find the stalagmite near the northwest corner it’s a perfect barrier.
  • Position yourself behind it so the demon can’t reach you but you can still attack.
  • Use range or magic (I love my trusty magic shortbow).

Pro tip: Bring an antipoison for those pesky poison spiders nearby. Ever forget one and spend half your trip poisoned? Not fun.

Catacombs of Kourend

The Catacombs are another hotspot, especially if you’re on a Slayer task. The Greater Demons here are level 104, a bit tougher, but the safe spots are solid. I like the Catacombs because you get those sweet totem pieces for Shayzien favor. My first totem drop got me so hyped I forgot to eat for like an hour!

Safe Spotting in the Catacombs:

  • Head to the Greater Demons section (use a Kourend Castle teleport).
  • Look for the narrow hallway with a corner you can hide behind.
  • Lure the demon to the corner, then step back so it gets stuck.
  • Blast away with magic (Fire Bolt with Chaos Gauntlets is my jam).

Quick question: Have you tried the Catacombs yet? It’s a vibe with all the different monsters around.

Chasm of Fire

The Chasm of Fire, deep in the Shayzien region, is less crowded but trickier to safe spot. You’ll need to start the “The Queen of Thieves” quest to access it. I found this spot when I was desperate for a quieter place to grind. It’s not as popular, which is great if you hate competing for spawns.

Chasm of Fire Safe Spot:

  • Enter via the Shayzien rope bridge.
  • Find the rock formation near the center of the demon area.
  • Position yourself so the demon gets caught on the opposite side.
  • Ranged attacks work best here bring plenty of arrows!

Heads-up: This spot needs some practice to lure correctly. Ever mess up a lure and get smacked? Yeah, I’ve been there.

Gear and Inventory Setup for Safe Spotting

You don’t need a maxed account to safe spot Greater Demons, but the right gear makes it a breeze. I’ve tested everything from budget to BIS setups, and here’s what works best based on my runs.

Recommended Gear

For range, I stick to a magic shortbow with rune arrows or a crossbow with broad bolts for budget players. Magic users, go for Fire Bolt or Blast with Chaos Gauntlets for that extra damage. Melee is risky since safe spotting relies on distance, but if you insist, a whip or dragon scimmy can work with a long-range style.

Slot Budget Option BIS Option
Head Coif God Coif (e.g., Armadyl)
Body Black D’hide Body Karil’s Leathertop
Legs Black D’hide Chaps Karil’s Leatherskirt
Weapon Magic Shortbow Toxic Blowpipe
Amulet Amulet of Accuracy Amulet of Glory

I once rocked a budget setup with just a coif and black d’hide, and it was fine for Brimhaven. Upgrading to Karil’s later felt like overkill but so satisfying.

Inventory Must-Haves

Your inventory is your lifeline. Here’s what I pack:

  • Teleport: Glory or Kourend Castle teleport for quick escapes.
  • Food: 5-10 lobsters or better (just in case you mess up the safe spot).
  • Antipoison: For Brimhaven’s spiders.
  • Prayer Potions: If using Protect from Melee for backup.
  • Runes/Arrows: Enough for 100-200 attacks.

Ever run out of runes mid-task? I did once in the Catacombs and had to run back to a bank. Never again!

Tips and Tricks for Safe Spotting Greater Demons

After hundreds of kills, I’ve picked up some tricks that make safe spotting a breeze. These are the little things that saved me from rage-quitting during tough tasks.

Luring Like a Pro

Luring is key to safe spotting. You gotta get the demon stuck behind an obstacle. My trick is to attack once, then run to the safe spot while keeping an eye on its path. If you’re too slow, it’ll follow you and ruin the setup. Practice makes perfect I flubbed my first few lures and ate some big hits.

Prayer Management

If you’re using magic or range, Protect from Melee can be a lifesaver if the demon gets too close. I always sip a prayer potion before a tricky lure. Got a low prayer level? Stick to safe spots and skip the prayer to save potions.

Watch for Aggro

Greater Demons lose aggro after a bit, especially in multi-combat areas. I’ve had demons wander off mid-fight, which is annoying. Keep them in combat by attacking regularly, and don’t AFK too long. Ever lose a demon and have to chase it down? So frustrating!

Loot and Rewards from Greater Demons

Why bother with Greater Demons? The loot, obviously! They drop rune full helms, adamantite bars, and hard clue scrolls, which can lead to big bucks. My best drop was a rune full helm worth 20k back when I was a broke noob it felt like winning the lottery. They also give decent Slayer and combat XP, which is great for leveling.

Notable Drops:

  • Rune Full Helm (20-30k GP)
  • Adamantite Bar (2-3k GP each)
  • Hard Clue Scroll (jackpot potential!)
  • Fire Runes (handy for mages)

Pro tip: If you’re after clues, use a ring of wealth to boost your chances. Ever get a clue scroll drop and pray for a rare reward? I’m still chasing that 3rd Age dream.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I’ve made plenty of mistakes fighting Greater Demons, and I don’t want you to repeat them. Here’s what to watch out for:

Not Bringing Enough Supplies

Running out of arrows or runes is the worst. I once had to teleport out of Brimhaven because I underestimated my ammo. Always pack extra!

Ignoring Other Monsters

In Brimhaven, those wild dogs and spiders can mess you up. I got poisoned once because I was too focused on the demon. Keep an eye out and bring that antipoison.

Bad Positioning

If you stand too close to the safe spot, the demon might hit you. I learned this the hard way when a Greater Demon smacked me for a 20. Double-check your position before attacking.
