Tormented Demons
so lately i’ve been helping my sibling, and today zir friend, work on killing TDs because for some reason I am the person who can kill tormented demons and other people i know seem to have difficulty. Probably because I don’t know too many PVMers lol
but the primary thing i’m thinking is.... stats don’t matter that much. I mean don’t go down with a bronze dagger or w/e, but you don’t have to freak out and take your chaotic or nox
What really matters is prayer swapping and patience.
and patience isn’t like to say “try again and again and you’ll succeed sometime” b/c that would be frustrating as hell, but like...
there are rock spawns you can stand behind to prevent too many demons from attacking you. you may get bored after you kill the demons near your rock spawn and want to aggro another. Unless you’re good at prayer swapping and experienced, don’t do this. The hardest part is just like... waiting for them to respawn and staying by your rock in my experience. If you get impatient and run out to aggro other demons, you’re gonna get piled. and then blow through all your food.
In my experience, with high level creatures you can get assigned slayer tasks on like TDs, glacors, and Airuts,
Airuts require the HIGHEST stats and the LOWEST amount of skill (you just... attack them p much. but they have high defence so you know, u need good gear)
glacors have the MEDIUM required stats and the MEDIUM required skill. I am way more accurate on glacors than Airuts, but the glacytes you need a strategy for so the glacor doesn’t become too annoying to kill (ie dont kill the armored one last lol). Still it’s very predictable and happens once per fight.
and TDs require the LOWEST stats and the HIGHEST amount of skill (also good internet speed). You can hit TDs very easily w/ tier 80 gear, or cheap blisterwood if you’re an ironman, take warpriest or hybrid gear that isn’t like top tier armored Tetsu or Sea Singers shit. I think you could do it with lower gear but until I try I don’t want to be like “totally do this guys”
Basically it’s about being patient and prayer swapping and yah I’m just thinking about it lately
(also if any of my friends want to try my TD strategies, message me and we can schedule a time for me to help you get used to them while keeping pilers off your backs like I did for my siblings)
ETA: also, meleeing them I don’t really like when you just start. I know holy water is a pain in the butt to get, but it’s worth it to keep in your safe spot and develop a rhythm to killing demons that doesn’t involve having to run up and hit them with darklight, thus exposing you to more aggro guys who want to eat you and pile you. Ofc once you get a good idea of how to do it, I assume melee works just as well. It’s just first time down, I wouldn’t complicate things
