Turoth

Turoths are Slayer monsters that require a Slayer of 55 to kill. They drop herb and herb seeds fairly commonly, though not as frequently as Aberrant spectres.

Turoths, like Kurasks, must be killed with either a Leaf-bladed spear, a Leaf-bladed sword, a Slayer's staff/Magic Dart spell (which also requires a Magic level of 50), or Broad arrows/Broad-tipped bolts, or else your attacks will be ineffective. Also, none of the weapons required to kill this monster are poisonable, making the Turoth immune to poison.

A Leaf-bladed sword is an alternative for players who have the money to purchase it. The sword is faster than its spear counterpart, and is only one-handed, leaving room for the player to equip a shield or defender. If using the spear or sword, it is recommended that players use the Stab style, as the weapons give a higher stab bonus than slash or crush.

Turoths seem to be weak to range. There is a safespot on the northern wall in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon making it very easy to hit them with Broad-tipped bolts. Because of this trips can be made very long. There is another safespot at the southern end of the cave in the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon. A player must lure it to the passage leading into the Kurasks, and walk halfaway and attack with Magic Dart, Broad arrows, or Broad-tipped bolts.

The lower-levelled Turoths have a maximum hit of 9 damage, while the higher-levelled ones can hit up to 10. They are fairly inaccurate, but if they hit, they usually hit high.

Since out of all the methods of slaying turoths, only the arrows have a special attack (if used with a magic shortbow, magic longbow or a dark bow), a useful tactic is to use excalibur's or enhanced excalibur's special attack to boost defence (and heal hitpoints if using enhanced excalibur).

Range Safe Spot

There is a safe training method for rangers&#160; against the monster, turoth. Inside the Fremennik Slayer dungeon along the west wall lies a hole in which players can easily lure Turoth's from the north to and safely kill them. This position puts the monster one block distance away and is pictured below.
