Demonic gorillas are a slayer creature that unlocks after completing the quest Monkey Madness II. With unique mechanics, they may seem intimidating at first, but once you understand their attack patterns, they become much easier to defeat. This guide will walk you through the essential strategies to farm demonic gorillas efficiently, maximizing your profits from valuable drops like zenyte shards and ballista components.

OSRS Demonic Gorillas and Where to Find Them

Demonic gorillas are formidable creatures located in the Crash Site Cavern, a dangerous area accessed after completing the Monkey Madness II quest. You initially encounter them during the quest, facing two in the penultimate fight. Upon quest completion, the cavern houses even more demonic gorillas along with tortured gorillas, both of which are sought after by players for their lucrative drops.

Accessing the Crash Site Cavern:

Quest Completion: You must have completed Monkey Madness II to access the Crash Site Cavern, as it is not available before finishing the quest.

Location: The cavern is located just south of the Tree Gnome Stronghold. You can reach it by using the Grand Tree's glider (Lemanto Andra), or you can teleport to the Gnome Stronghold and head south.

Navigating the Area: Be prepared for a challenging environment as both demonic and tortured gorillas roam the cavern. Bring proper gear and supplies before entering.

Demonic Gorilla Mechanics and Strategies

Demonic gorillas have unique mechanics that make them both challenging and rewarding to fight. Understanding these mechanics is essential for efficient farming.

Attack Styles and Switching:

Three Attack Styles: Demonic gorillas use melee, ranged, and magic attacks. They will switch styles after missing three consecutive attacks, requiring you to constantly adapt your prayers.

Protection Prayers: Always pay attention to which style the gorilla is using. Switch between Protect from Melee, Protect from Missiles (Ranged), and Protect from Magic based on the attacks.

Overhead Prayers: Demonic gorillas will also use overhead protection prayers, alternating between Protect from Missiles, Protect from Melee, and Protect from Magic. To deal damage, you need to change your attack style to one they are not protecting against.

Weapon Switching:

To combat their prayer switching, bring a setup that allows you to quickly switch between different combat styles, typically ranging and melee. Suggested weapons include:

Melee: Abyssal Whip or Dragon Scimitar for consistent damage.

Ranged: Blowpipe or Crossbow for quick, powerful shots.

Avoiding Their Special Attacks:

Demonic gorillas also have a boulder attack that targets your position with a shadow, dealing heavy damage if not avoided. When you see the shadow, move at least one tile away to dodge.

Optimal Gear Setup

Helmet: Serpentine Helm or Slayer Helm (if on task).

Body: Karil’s Top or Armadyl Chestplate.

Legs: Karil’s Skirt or Armadyl Chainskirt.

Weapons: Toxic Blowpipe, Abyssal Whip, or Dragon Scimitar.

Accessories: Amulet of Fury or Necklace of Anguish, and a Ranged/Melee Ring (Ring of Suffering recommended for its defense bonuses).

Inventory Setup:

Prayer Potions: At least 4-6 depending on the duration of your trip.

Super Restore Potions: A couple to replenish prayer and combat stats.

Food: High-healing food like sharks or manta rays.

Profits and Notable Drops

Demonic gorillas are primarily farmed for their rare drops:

Zenyte Shards: Used to craft the most valuable jewelry in the game, including the Amulet of Torture and the Ring of Suffering.

Ballista Components: These drops include the heavy frame, light frame, limbs, and spring, which can be sold or used to create powerful ballistas.

Conclusion

Demonic gorillas offer an engaging and profitable farming experience once you master their mechanics. By switching prayers correctly, adapting to their attacks, and using a flexible combat setup, you can efficiently slay these creatures and enjoy the valuable rewards they bring to your bank. Happy hunting!
