Gargoyle Slayer tasks

A safe, low-attention Slayer task with consistently valuable drops including granite mauls and alchable equipment.

MembersIntermediateNo riskLow attention

Gargoyles are the reason many players keep taking Slayer tasks from Duradel rather than skipping to something faster. The drop table is unusually dense with mid-value items — rune equipment, gems, herbs and coins — so almost every kill contributes rather than most kills being filler.

They must be finished with a rock hammer, which is easy to forget and wastes the kill if you do. Once you are used to it the check becomes automatic.

The rate is helped enormously by the fact that gargoyles are not dangerous. You can run a long task with minimal food and almost no attention, which makes this one of the few genuinely profitable methods you can do while doing something else.

The grotesque guardians boss is unlocked from this task, so a gargoyle assignment is often worth extending into a boss trip rather than treating as a chore to clear.

What you actually do

1Get a gargoyle Slayer task and travel to the Slayer tower top floor.
2Kill gargoyles, remembering to finish each one with a rock hammer at low health.
3Bank when supplies run low — the tower is close to Canifis.

Getting the most from it

The rock hammer is mandatory. A gargoyle at low health cannot be killed without it and will simply heal.
This is one of the most consistent Slayer money makers at its level — no rare-drop dependency, just steady value.
It is also very low attention as bossing goes, which makes it a good candidate to run alongside Grand Exchange offers.
