Ripper Demon
Introduction
Ripper Demons ripperdemon are one of the 4 Raptor specialty monsters, as such they boast mechanics that make engaging them more dangerous than normal mobs. They are mainly killed for Slayer slayer tasks, the Kharidian Desert collection log, the parasitic orb which is used to unlock the Nipper demon pet, and for profit via creating ripperpouch
⬥ Ripper Demons can be assigned as a Slayer slayer assignment by Mandrith, Laniakea, Morvran, Kuradal, and The Raptor.
• Demon cluster tasks also work, they may be assigned by Laniakea, and The Raptor.
⬩ Laniakea assigns almost twice as many.
⬥ This guide will focus on killing Ripper Demons via AOE methods as they yield the highest KPH; however, at lower levels it is suggested to kill them one at time in the Ripper Demon cave southeast of the Al Kharid lodestone alkharidlode
• Bring your best Melee gear with darklight and vampscrim
• The Midday skybox helps brighten the area.

Useful Items and Unlocks
Location and How to Get there
The Wilderness
If killing Ripper Demons in the Wilderness; they are located west of the Demonic Ruins / northeast of Red Dragon Isle, they are aggressive in this location. Ensure you disable PVP by speaking to Vala in Edgeville.
1) How to get there in order of speed:
a) Annakarl Teleport (Ancient Magicks) and run west, has a high chance of aggro'ing Kal'gerion demons kalgerion_demon
b) Games necklace teleport to Corporeal Beast corporealbeast and run northeast.
c) Wilderness sword teleport to herb patch and run north, then east along the lava.
Notes:
⬥ Click here to open a map of optimal routes for the above.
⬥ If hunting elite spawns in the Wilderness, stay a few kills after the end of your task in case the "forced spawn" is delayed.
Guide illustration ⬥ Unless otherwise specified, stand in-between the lava pools to funnel the ripperdemon onto one tile.
Ripper Demon Cave
If killing Ripper Demons in the Ripper Demon cave; teleport to the Al Kharid lodestone alkharidlode and run southeast towards the cave entrance. They are not aggressive in this location.
Method: Low Effort Magic
Magic magic is very effective at damage reduction and as such is a strong choice for killing Ripper Demons. Stacking Animate Dead animatedead, Cryptbloom armour cryptbloomhelm, Infernal Puzzle Box infernalpuzzlebox, Deflect Melee deflectmelee with Amulet of souls aos and Enhanced Devoted 4 enhdev4, should allow players to sustain themselves purely with Blood Barrage bloodbarrage healing alone.
Walk up and attack demons between steps. This is the most dangerous part of the method as the first few demons are the slowest to kill since oldakcoil is not active yet and you have no ruthless3 stacks. Keep track of the demons on you and look out for jumps (refer to example video below).
⬥ Ensure Legacy Combat Mode is active.
⬥ Pray deflectmelee and torment or affliction
⬥ Sustain prayer with powderofpenance
⬥ Autocast bloodbarrage and upkeep animatedead
⬥ Ensure elderovlsalve and weppoison are active at all times.
⬥ Activate scriptureofwen
⬥ Drink aggressionpotion once you are comfortably set up with oldakcoil active.
Notes:
⬥ You must target the Slasher Demon (elite) when it spawns to kill it before the jump as bloodbarrage deals only 60% to non-main targets.
*⬥ In legacy, after almost every action the player should click on a ripper to prevent attacks from being delayed.
• Eating / drinking potions
• Looting
• Noting ripperpouch*

While setting up use devo to help mitigate damage taken. This is the most dangerous part of the method as the first few demons are the slowest to kill. Keep track of the demons on you and look out for jumps (in case of a rod proc refer to the third example video below).
