The fight

Mechanics

Black demons are aggressive and slash for up to 16.

Their defence is high, but their Magic and Ranged are 1. Demonbane weapons and magic work well, and water spells do 40% extra. Every spot they live in has a safespot for magic, ranged or a halberd.

Which style: Magic or demonbane weapons. You can safespot them with magic, ranged or a halberd.
