Dust devil

The Dust Devil is a very popular training monster for slayers of level 65 and up. A Face mask is required to reach them safely. It is vulnerable to ranged attacks and has very good drops. It is most commonly killed for the fact it can drop the much sought after dragon chainbody. However, it is very rare, with a chance of about 1 in 15,000 if you use a ring of wealth.

It is advised that players use the low detail setting when fighting dust devils, as this will remove the dust screen effects.

Locations

 * Smoke Dungeon west from Pollnivneach in the Kharidian Desert.
 * Chaos Tunnels



Strengths and weaknesses
Dust Devils attack with melee type damage, close range. You need at least level 65 Slayer to fight these creatures as well as a face mask to survive in the Smoke Dungeon. The Smoke Dungeon has many safe spots where players can use range, magic or halberds to defeat them.

Melee is also effective, a good strategy for which is using the spell Bones to Peaches to maximize one's stay in the dungeon. It is possible to use Guthans armour to heal, although players must be careful switching the helm with the face mask, otherwise the dungeon will hit them for 20 damage every 12 seconds or so, only allowing 3-4 hits in before having to switch back to the face mask. Please note that you can only use Guthans armour to heal on nearby Fire Elementals or Fire Giants, as attacking a Dust Devil without a face mask causes your melee stats to be drained to 0, and deals 14 damage to you every few seconds.
