Infobox • Talk page

Demon Slayer is an Invention perk that increases damage dealt to demons by 7%. It can be created in weapon and armour gizmos.

Demon Slayer applies against the same demons as darklight. The perk has an effect on K'ril Tsutsaroth in normal mode. However, it does not work against K'ril Tsutsaroth in hard mode, or against the Twin Furies.

The Demon Slayer perk is an excellent option when augmenting equipment for medium- to high-level Slayer training. It is especially useful on melee armour (when killing abyssal demons, ripper demons, hellhounds, and nechryael) and on ranged armour (when killing lesser demons, greater demons, black demons, and waterfiends). The only slayer tasks that are best completed using magic are gargoyles and Kal'gerion demons.

Hellhounds Holthion Ice demons Icefiends Imps Jungle demons Kal'gerion demons Lesser demons Nechryael and Death spawn

Nezikchened Othanian Pyrefiends Ripper demons Tormented demon Tstanon Karlak Waterfiends Zakl'n Gritch
