Aberrant spectre

Aberrant spectres are Slayer monsters that require level 60 Slayer to kill. They frequently drop large amounts of high level herbs and herb seeds. Due to the close distance from a bank (when killing them at the Slayer Tower) and their high level herb drops, killing Aberrant spectres are one of the best ways of getting herbs and making good money.

Locations

 * Morytania Slayer Tower
 * Desert Slayer Dungeon

Strengths and weaknesses
Players must have a nose peg worn or their stats (including hitpoints) will be rapidly reduced. They use a very accurate Magic-based attack with a max hit of 10, which they will do fairly often, even against a magic defence of +125 (Karils skirt, Karils body, mind shield, Barrows gloves, God Cape). For armour, wear dragonhide and either an elemental shield or mind shield. The most effective way to kill them is to wear prayer enhancing gear and use the Protect from Magic prayer. During a trip they should drop enough Rannar herbs to recoup or even make a profit over the prayer potions used.

They seem to be weak to Ranged attacks. In addition, using a Salve amulet will give a large advantage, since they are considered to be undead.

The only non-aggressive Aberrant Spectres are in the Desert Slayer Dungeon. They are also not killable until a player makes the slayer helmet because both the nose peg and face mask are needed to fight them without suffering the effects of the spectres or the smoke.
