Tormented demons (TD's) are one of the strongest monsters in the game. TD's boast some of the most unique combat mechanics of any monster in runescape where you will actively need to switch attack weapons, gear, and protection prayers to be successful in the hunt. They are 450 combat, require actual strategy and timing but the rewards can be worth the trouble.
When fighting Tormented demons you will have to use the Darklight (melee) or Holy water (ranged) to weaken the demon before you can damage them with your main weapons. Which you use is dependent on the protection prayer the TD is currently using. Example: if they are praying melee/magic, you would use Holy water to lower the shield.
You may purchase the Darklight and Holy water from the shop placed on your way to the tormented demons. Currently the stock is 1 Darklight and 100 Holy Water for 500 GP and 1 GP respectivly. I would recommend buying multiple Holy Waters.
Here I have listed the recommended inventory and gear setup.
To get to TDs, you must follow the path through the Lumbridge Swamp from the Basement, hop over the stepping stone and enter the cave where Tears of Guthix is located. You must use your sapphire lantern on a Light creature to go into the chasm. You will be in the location where you may purchase the Darklight and Holy Water. From here, head south until you see the wall with Skulls and climb up the cliff and enter the cave opening. Follow the path south until you reach the TD's.
Tormented demons attack with all 3 combat styles and also can protect against all 3 attack styles. TDs will change attack styles approximatly every 3 attacks. TDs will change protection prayers approximatly every 30 damage taken in a respective style. Example: You hit the TD with melee for a 20, and then a 15, the TD will proceed to protect from melee.
