Nechryael is a demon that can be assigned as a slayer task by Krystillia, Vannaka, Chaeldar, Konar, Naive, and Duradel. They are excellent slayer tasks as they give high slayer XP and are profitable as they are known to drop rune boots, seeds, and combat runes.
Nechryael can only be found in the Slayer tower but the stronger variant, Greater Nechryael which can be killed in its place can be found in the Catacombs of Kourend, Iowerth Dungeon, and the Wilderness Slayer cave. These monsters are commonly killed with Ice Burst or Ice Barrage in the Catacombs of Kourend to earn high slayer XP rates.
There are 5 locations where players can kill Nechryaels and its variant. However, in this guide, we focus on the 2 best locations listed below.
Slayer Tower: Nechryael can be found in the Slayer Tower. There are 11 Nechryael spawns on the top floor of the Slayer tower and 12 in the basement.
Catacombs of Kourend: There are 14 greater Nechryael spawns in the Catacombs of Kourend. The fastest way to get here is through the portal chamber or nexus in a POH attuned to Kourend Castle. Alternatively, players can use Hosidius's page in the Kharedst’s memoirs, or fairy ring CIS.
Wilderness Slayer cave: There are 8 spawns in this location. The fastest way to get here is by teleporting to the Ferox enclave and then running east to the level 18 entrance. Alternatively, players can teleport to Corporeal Beast and run east, use the wilderness crabs to teleport and run west, or use a burning amulet to Chaos Temple and run north to the level 18 entrance.

These are summoned by Nechryael or the greater variant. Up to 2 death spawns can be summoned to help them attack the player. They have a combat of 46 and can be killed easily. However, despite having a low max hit of 2, they can hit through protection prayers. Players with high defence levels can ignore them.
Nechryael attacks with melee with a max hit of 11 and will occasionally summon death spawns to assist them during the fight.
In the Slayer tower, it is best that players pray protect from melee and attack Nechryaels with melee since it is a single -combat zone. It is only recommended to do this when you are unable to find a free world to Burst/Barrage them in the Catacombs of Kourend.
Players commonly Ice burst/barrage Nechryaels in the Catacombs of Kourend since it is a multicombat area and can generate very high slayer and magic XP rates. To do this, first, aggro all the Nechryaels in the area using Bulwark’s special attack or by attacking them with darts. When they are aggressive to you, run to the corner shown below then run between the 2 tiles shown to stack them up. Refer to the minimap to easily locate this spot. Bursting them can also be done similarly when in the Wilderness slayer cave.
Remember to use protection prayers if you are taking too much damage.
The Average Nechryael kill is worth 5.8K or 7.2K when on Konar task.
