Starting the quest
After paying one coin, the gypsy will predict your future. She sees a vision of you fighting a mighty demon named Delrith, who was summoned during the Fifth Age and subsequently defeated by the hero Wally. She tells you that a cult of dark wizards is attempting to summon Delrith twice, and she sends you to talk to Sir Prysin for help. Before going to Sir Prysin, ask her, "How did Wally kill Delrith?" you will see a cutscene of Wally killing Delrith, you should also see an incantation. The gypsy will remind you of the incantation should you forget. Write this down, as it is different for each player. Five different words make up the incantation and are randomly ordered. Because some are repeated, there are more than 125 possible penustations. If you do forget the incantation, simply talk to the gypsy again at any time during the quest, and she'll remind you of it. If you are already fighting the demon Delrith just log out of the game and log back in and go back to the gypsy.

Go north to Varrock Castle and find Sir Prysin in the first room on the western side of the castle. Tell him that the gypsy sent you. Ask for Silverlight – the weapon needed to kill Delrith. He will say he has kept it hidden because of its power and needs three keys to open the case it is stored in.

First key


In the north-west corner of the castle is a set of stairs. Climb them twice to reach a room with Captain Rovin. Speak to him and tell him that a demon is going to invade the city, that you have to defeat it, and you need his Silverlight key. Select the option that says "Sir Prysin said you would give me the key" and then select the option that says "Then why did he give you the key?" After bringing up Sir Prysin's clumsiness he will hand it to you. It will take some arguing, though.

Second key
The key is stuck down a drain behind the kitchen in the castle. Go get a bucket or jug and fill it with water at any water source; the sink in the kitchen is close and convenient (if you did not bring a bucket, up the stairs there is a room right behind you with a bucket). Use the bucket of water on the drain and the key will be washed into the sewers. Enter the Varrock sewers using the manhole located immediately east of the castle's east wall. Follow the north-western path until you get to a stream and search around there. It is just beside the skeletons under a pile of mud. Search for a rusty key on the ground; it will not appear on the minimap, but it will sparkle if you can't see it. Take it. Big huge paenus

Third key
Gather 25 sets of regular, unnoted bones. You can buy them on the Grand Exchange or kill almost any monster and take its bones. Killing Chickens at the nearby farm would be recommended to save money. Head to the Wizards' Tower, located south of Draynor Village. On the (Go up one set of stairs) of the tower, talk to Wizard Traiborn about the key, and he will ask for 25 bones. Give them to him and he will perform a ritual, then he will give you the third key.

Banishing Delrith


Return to Varrock Castle and give the three keys to Sir Prysin. He will give you the Silverlight.

Tip: When he gives you Silverlight, drop it and talk to him again. He will give you another - you now have 2 Silverlights! This way, if you die, you can retrieve it from your bank, and use it to complete other tasks! You can get multiple Siverlights using this method.

Be sure to remember the correct incantation before you head off to fight Delrith. You can always head back to The Gypsy and ask for the correct incantation. The incantation is different for everyone, so make sure to write it down or memorize it.

Now that you have Silverlight and the incantaion, it's time to fight Delrith. Head to the bank and withdraw any food, potions and armour you might wish to bring for the battle. Armour with good magic defence, such as leather armour, will be effective. Head to the stone circle immediately south east of Varrock's south entrance, where the Dark Wizards are located – make sure you are wielding Silverlight.

A short cutscene will play in which three dark wizards and Denath summon Delrith, a tall, red-and-black striped demon.The wizards will then notice you and run off.

This is a single-combat area, so, when the cutscene ends, run to and attack Delrith while trying to avoid the dark wizard. The demon is combat level 27. He has 70 life points and can hit a maximum of 10 damage, so most, if not all players should not have much trouble fighting him. You cannot attack Delrith with magic or ranged attacks.

Most players may be able to defeat Delrith in one hit. Another easy tip if you are low on LP is to exit the fight, enter the first house on the right in Varrock, and go through the door inside; there is a patch of cabbages. If you do die, you can go back to Sir Prysin and he will hand Silverlight over, just this once, for free.

If you are a low levelled player, then it is recommended to have 3 items with you, or have a Prayer level of 25 and use no more than four items while using the Protect Item tab. A method without food is to hide behind a pillar, wait until Delrith goes to the pillar you are hiding behind and the mage facing the other way, so you pop out and hit Delrith and he will hit you back before the level 20 mage can attack you. '''NOTE: This method has a rare chance of failing but it can fail! So if the mage starts attacking you hide behind a pillar again. Also, if you are not near a pillar that is not near Delrith, run and hide behind a pillar that the level 20 mage cannot get to you, but only go one by one so you are not caught and attack by the wizard.'''

Once you defeat Delrith, he will collapse onto the ground. Click to "Banish" him, and a prompt will appear. Choose the incantation that The Gypsy gave you at the start of the quest (the incantation is random for all players) and the demon will be banished from this dimension. If you choose the wrong incantation, Delrith will be revived and the fight will resume until you defeat him again. If you are already fighting the demon Deltrith and forgot your random incantation then just simply exit the game by logging out of the game and logging back in. This will take you out of the fight and you can go back to the gypsy and ask for the incantation again. After the saying the correct incantation Deltrith will be banished and the player will do a victory cheer by raising Silverlight.

Reward



 * 3 Quest Points.

The sword, bearing powerful magical properties, can be kept by the player forever after the quest and used as many times as desired, especially strong against demon-type characters.
 * If you are a member, you can talk to Historian Minas at the Varrock Museum to receive 5 Kudos and there will be a Varrock Museum display of Silverlight.

Required for Completing

 * Defender of Varrock
 * Recipe for Disaster/Freeing the Lumbridge Sage
 * Shadow of the Storm

Trivia

 * Denath appears briefly in a cutscene during this Quest. When he sees you with Silverlight, he mumbles that he shouldn't be there and flees.
 * If you are a low level player and can't defeat level 20 dark wizards, you can go out of the circle and come back again until only one level 7 wizard and delrith is present.
 * Demon Slayer was one of the 6 quests available during RuneScape's launch and contained the first cutscene in RuneScape 2 Beta, although it didn't quite have the impact Jagex had hoped for.
 * Before the battle was updated, the fight with Delrith did not take place in an isolated battleground. Rather, Delrith had already been summoned and could be seen by anyone prior to starting Demon Slayer, but could not be fought until the proper point in the quest was reached. After the quest was completed, Delrith continued to walk around in the stone circle, but could not be attacked.
 * If you have an overgrown cat out when Sir Prysin gives you the sword, the text will have the cat saying "the sword belonged to my grandfather"
 * In the cutscene in which Wally banishes Delrith, Wally wields Silverlight as if it was a two-handed sword.
 * The Gypsy used to ask you for a silver bar instead of 1 coin to start the quest (but you would still be able to keep the silver bar).
 * Before a recent update, if you died while battling Delrith, you would have to go and get all 3 keys all over again. Then once you speak to Sir Prysin and tell him you have all 3 keys, you have an option of clicking "I'm still looking for them" (the keys) or "Where are they again".
 * Once you have completed the quest, if you use Silverlight on Sir Prysin, the text says "I have one of the keys!"
