Alternative Monsters

Many people trying to gain levels in the Slayer skill assume that you can only kill exactly what the Slayer master gives you. The table below shows some alternative monster that you could kill if assigned a specific type.

Here is a table of the unique drops that can only be obtained by killing specific slayer monsters. They are:

Black Mask
Black masks gathered from the corpses of cave horrors give a couple of bonuses when worn. Firstly, they provide Attack and Strength bonuses similar to a Salve Amulet when fighting your Slayer assignment. Secondly, the masks contain 10 spells that can reduce your opponent’s Defence by 3-10 levels each time, regardless of whether they are your Slayer assignment, any other monster or another player. When the 10 spells are used, the mask and its natural bonuses will remain.

• If you find it to difficult to kill the creature that you are assigned, train your combat to a higher level, or go and visit the Slayer master in Burthorpe to receive a new and easier assignment.
• Study the creatures’ style of attack to find out the best equipment that you should use to the maximum effect.
• Stock up on good food beforehand, so you will not be distracted from your training when in need of food.
