Gargoyles can be assigned as a slayer task at level 75 Slayer, level 80 combat, and with completion of the Priest in Peril quest by various slayer masters. They are only found in the Slayer Tower, either in the top floor or in the basement. The gargoyles in the basement of the Slayer Tower can only be killed while on a Slayer task, as Raulyn will stop the player if they attempt to fight them off-task. Gargoyles have a Superior slayer monster variant, the level 349 Marble gargoyle. Gargoyles also have a chance to drop the Brittle key, which gives access to the Grotesque Guardians at the top of the Slayer Tower, a boss variant of the monster.
In order to kill a gargoyle, a rock hammer, a rock thrownhammer or a granite hammer must be used when they reach 9 or lower Hitpoints. Normally, the item must be used on the gargoyle, but players can buy the "Gargoyle Smasher" perk from Slayer masters for 120 Slayer points, which will automatically smash the gargoyle when it falls to 9 or lower Hitpoints, provided that the player has a rock hammer (or equivalent) in their inventory. The granite hammer will automatically smash gargoyles even without the perk if it is equipped.
