Jagex has brought back the nostalgic “While Guthix Sleeps” quest, originally the first-ever grandmaster quest from 2008 in the classic Runescape. Whether you’re a retro gamer or just started playing OSRS, you’ll encounter a special type of tribrid monster: the Tormented OSRS Demons. These creatures are challenging to deal with, but don’t worry—we’re here to guide you through the steps needed to defeat Tormented Demons in Old School Runescape.
If you’re curious about this monster but don’t have the necessary gear to reach or defeat it, you can buy OSRS gold to help you on such a dangerous path. Plus, if you still find it hard and need other stuff, you can check U7BUY for more OSRS-related services.
What are OSRS Tormented Demons
Tormented Monsters are wild creatures that inhabited the Ancient Guthix Temple. Completing the While Guthix Sleeps quest will unlock this aggressive creature. They’re not low grunts but mid-range highly challenging creatures which will keep you on your toes unless not handled with absolute care. They’re built-in ways that prey on any of your combat styles and weaken them significantly. Another incredible power they possess is their tribrid ability means they not just use melee but ranged and magic attacks on their opponents and switch protection prayers every 150 healths lost.

How to Defeat Tormented Demons OSRS

Attack Styles:
- Magic: A red fireball.
- Ranged: A missile-like projectile.
- Melee: A swipe across your face.
Winning Strategy

- Combat Style Switching:
- TDS changes their protection prayers based on the damage type they receive.
- Switch between melee, ranged, and magic attacks to counter their prayers.
- Kiting Technique:
