Silverlight

Silverlight is a magical sword used in the Demon Slayer quest, and can be kept afterwards. The sword is obtained by talking to Sir Prysin in Varrock Castle during the course of Demon Slayer. He will send the player on a quest to obtain the 3 Silverlight keys to the box that Silverlight is held in - once the player acquires these keys and brings them back to Sir Prysin he will give the player the sword. This weapon cannot be made by players using the smithing skill.

Silverlight is dyed black during the course of the Shadow of the Storm quest, and later becomes Darklight after killing the demon Agrith-Naar. Both Silverlight and Darklight can be mounted on the wall inside of a player's home if he or she has a Quest Hall.

Silverlight is equal to the steel longsword in terms of statistics - with the exception of the +1 magic defence bonus - when fighting non-demon monsters. However, while fighting Lesser, Greater, Black or Abyssal Demons, Silverlight increases each damage amount dealt by 60%, rounded down. For example, what would normally be 11 damage against non-demons becomes 17 damage against demons. It is recommended that you DO NOT fight demons with Silverlight, unless you can't wield rune weapons, because Silverlight has a very low accuracy. Silverlight is the strongest weapon available to a defence pure with only 1 attack, however finishing the quest will be very difficult as such.

In RuneScape Classic, Silverlight will weaken a demon if it is used on the first hit.

If a player dies, Silverlight is lost and can be returned from Sir Prysin for free until the quest is complete. Afterwards, a player must buy it from him for 500 coins after losing it. A player can use the Drop trick to get several Silverlights.

Silverlight can be sold to the Wise Old Man for 80 coins.

For help on getting the keys to unlock Silverlight, see Silverlight keys.

Silverlight was formerly sold in the Legends' Guild general store. However, it was removed because of conflict with the Shadow of the Storm quest (as Silverlight cannot be reacquired after the quest).

Trivia

 * Silverlight can be traded on RuneScape Classic.


 * In The God Letters, it is revealed that, due to the disruption of balance caused by Delrith's summoning, Guthix intervened and imbued Silverlight with his power, and most likely caused Wally to find it and use it to slay Delrith.


 * It is possible to keep Silverlight after Shadow of the Storm, you need to have one Silverlight in your bank while you use another to kill Agrith-Naar.


 * Silverlight is the only weapon that can change colour.


 * Silverlight is one of the few weapons that increases damage to demons.


 * Oddly enough, the Varrock Museum display plaque calls Silverlight a sword made of steel. This cannot be, simply because Silverlight may be used to slay Vampyres, who can only be hit with weapons made of silver.
