 Greater demons are strong, demonic beings often found in remote places. They follow the god Zamorak. They are the second highest-levelled, most accurate, and strongest Free-to-play monster that is neither Revenant, Quest or Random event-related. Greater demons are stronger than Lesser demons, with highly accurate melee attacks that hit up to 9. Physically, their only difference is that greater demons are larger than lesser demons and have wings. With the release ofSummoning many players kill Greater demons for Crimson charms. They also drop better items than their Lesser demoncounterparts.

editLocations

eThe hardest part about fighting greater demons is getting to them, as they are found in rather remote or dangerous locations. They can be maged or ranged fairly easily in most of their locations. Since they are demons, Silverlight,Darklight and Holy water will work effectively when fighting these monsters. Bring good food, however, because their melee attacks are very accurate and can hit frequently even against a character with high defensive bonuses.

Greater demons are very susceptible to magic attacks.


Tactics

[edit]

[edit]Brimhaven Dungeon (P2P)

A strategy for players without Guthan's armour is to bring a Super defence potion. Fight per normal but kill the usually aggressive wild dogs for their bones whenever needed to heal oneself, if combined with the Regen Bracelet players would not need much food at all.

Semi-safe spot in Brimhaven dungeon

There's a semi-safe spot at the very end of the Greater Demon area in Brimaven dungeon, where attacked demons will mostly position themselves in a spot where they are unable to attack the player.

[edit]Ogre Enclave (P2P)

The Ogre Enclave is a good place to range/mage or even melee them with a Halberd without fear of being attacked. Most of the greater demons here are caged. Bring telegrab runes to retrieve drops.

[edit]Demonic Ruins (F2P)

A F2P strategy is to wear full rune or green dragonhide armour (to defend against Revenants's magical attacks) and to bring mid-level food (preferably tuna or better). Optionally, bring Strength potions to deal more damage and get drops faster. Fight as normal. If a revenant appears, do this:

  • Revenant comes from the East: On the western side of the ruins is a cross shaped extension. Run into the cross on the southwestern square of the southern arm of the cross. This spot is safe from any revenant patrol route.Should it see you and be targeting you, log out and immediately log back in, and simply wait a moment. The revenant will continue on its way. There is no way to be hit in this spot, unless someone lures the revenant inside of the cross. If this happens run OUTSIDE the ruins on the south east side, and get in the corner where the wall meets. Log out and in immediately. This will allow you to be safe again, and give the minimum time for more revenants to possibly arrive.
  • Revenant comes from the West: If your on the eastern side of the ruins, you don't really have to worry about this spawn, as it won't see you UNLESS your standing north of the building. In anycase, if it sees you, doing exactly what you would do if it should come from the east will work to avoid it.

Regardless of your combat level, it's advised to hide, and not fight revenants(Especially higher level ones) as just a 1-3 fights will use a large portion of your food.

Fishing spots (Lobsters and harpooning) are available on the eastern coast of the wilderness, which isn't very far from the ruins. However, the stretch here is highly prone to Revenants, especially of the Knight and Ork species, which means escape won't be easy especially when you meet a patrol group.

[edit]Wilderness Volcano (F2P)

Compared to the Demonic Ruins, the wilderness volcano is a better choice. Safe spots are aplenty for rangers, plus a bank is just outside the crater, making banking very convenient. However, the cluster of greater demons is surrounded by level 82 Ankous and level 122 Hellhounds, which are located near some safe spots, hence making things troublesome for rangers until their aggressiveness wanes. Spawn times are pretty fast too (< 1 min).

editDifferent appearance

Since the graphic update on demons, greater demons now appear in at least four different variants. Because of this, some new players think one "species" of Greater demon appears stronger and tougher due to it looking more intimidating than others. However this is not true, as Jagex affirms that they are equally strong and tough and have the same stats as one another.

editBefore graphical update

Before demons were updated they had heads which resembled that of a horse,or the old head of all the dragons, as well as long thin limbs, fangs, and a solid red skin tone.

In Runescape classic, they had reddish-orange skin, with horns like a devil, and did not have wings.
