The greater abyssal demon is a superior variant of the normal abyssal demon. It has a chance of spawning when an abyssal demon is killed if the player has purchased the unlock Bigger and Badder for 150 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master.

The greater abyssal demon has a special attack, like other high levelled superior slayer monsters. The greater abyssal demon will teleport around the player, hitting them quickly at an attack speed of 1 for the next four hits (one hit per teleport). This special attack has 100% accuracy regardless of the player's defensive bonuses and is almost always guaranteed to hit 20 for each attack, so it is advised to keep Protect from Melee active at all times while killing the greater abyssal demon. Unlike its regular counterpart, it will not teleport itself or the player except during its special attack.

Like all demons, the greater abyssal demon is weak against demonbane weapons.

Drops[edit | edit source]

In addition to 100% drops and tertiary drops, superior slayer monsters will always roll 3 additional items, of which only 1 roll may be from the superior unique table. The other rolls are performed on the regular counterpart's table; their displayed drop chances represent a single roll.

Drop rates estimated based on 1,142,066 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Greater abyssal demon kill is worth 196,846.86.

The average Greater abyssal demon kill while on a Konar task is worth 198,993.9.
