Tormented demons are powerful creatures found at the Ancient Guthixian Temple (::tormented).

They are primarily killed for their Smouldering Heart, which is used to max combat stats to 120, as well as their burning claw drop, a special attack weapon that sits in between the dragon dagger and dragon claws in terms of power, but are more effective against demons (such as tormented demons).

Fighting a Tormented demon (with its fire shield up) in the Tormented Demon cave

Fight overview

Tormented demons can pray against and attack using every combat style. They possess the ability to routefind, allowing them to move around objects, and can also stack on top of each other. If they cannot reach the player when attempting to melee, they will instead randomly fire magic and ranged attacks.

After every 10 attacks (roughly 60 ticks, 36s), the demon(s) will briefly bind the player in place, disable their run, then release two fire bombs: one targeting the tile the player stood on, and one on a random tile next to it. Players have about 5 ticks (3s) to move to a safe tile before they land and explode, or they will take 15 - 45 damage.

Tormented demons have a fire shield that lowers your max hit by 20%, unless you use a demonbane weapon or an Abyssal bludgeon. The shield drops on your first hit and when the demon uses its fire bomb attack, and comes back after your next hit. While the shield is down you hit at full strength, and slow weapons get extra minimum damage.

The demon will always change its combat style after this attack, and the player's run will be re-enabled. Players can determine the next attack style through the following observations:

If it approaches the player, it will use melee.
If it does not approach the player, it will use magic or ranged - whichever wasn't used before.
If the demon previously used melee, you will have to guess and/or correct your protection prayer as it can be magic or ranged.

Setups

These setups come from what players wear when they kill the Tormented Demon. Each tab shows the gear most players use at that price, what it costs, and how long a solo kill usually takes with it. Prices are in PK points (PKP) at today's in-game prices, and spawnable items are free to spawn. Players split between melee and ranged. It is a demon, so demonbane weapons such as the Scorching bow work well.

The Holy scythe of vitur gives the fastest kills. A Scorching bow with top gear takes about 1 minute 15 seconds.
The scythe is two-handed, so there is no shield.
An Infernal cape has the same stats as the Infernal max cape.
