The demons will spawn every hour at one of a number of locations. A chatbox notification will announce the location of a raid 15 minutes in advance of when it spawns. (The "Game" tab must be set to On to see the message). The possible locations of a raid are as follows:

Location
South-east of the Edgeville Monastery
South of Gu'Tanoth
South-west Lumbridge Swamp
North-west of Menaphos
North of the Poison Wastes
East of the Ranging Guild

North of Darkmeyer
Wilderness Locations
West of Daemonheim
Ruins (Central Wilderness)
East of the Chaos Temple
South of the Forgotten Cemetery
East of the Graveyard of Shadows
South of the Wilderness green dragons

Killing the demons:

his flash mob consists of a demon boss, two black demons, 4 lesser demons and 8 imp heralds. Once the minions are killed, the boss can be attacked. At the start, however, the lesser and black demons, as well as the demon boss, are invulnerable. To attack the lesser demons, all the imps must be killed. To attack the black demons the lesser demons must be killed. To attack the boss the black demons must be killed. The boss begins with 50% of his maximum life points, that is, 200,000 out of 400,000. The boss regains his lost health by feeding from the life of his lesser demons, where he heals 3000. After the imp heralds or the lesser demons are slain, the boss will focus on his black demons, where he heals 6000 from them until they die.

The next level of demons can be attacked when the boss himself says a quote. For example, when all the imp heralds are slain, the boss will say a quote, and then the lesser demons can be attacked. However, if the lesser demons are sent to battle and the boss drains the life from both of his black demons, he can be attacked, and the demons that he sent to battle can be left alone, although it is not recommended because the boss has very high life points for his combat level.

Attacks depend on the region. All Non-wilderness and Wilderness demons seem to place all of their attention onto one person with melee or magic. Non-wilderness demons have the option of using a multi-hitting magic attack.

The Central Demon:

The Central demon can have one of several different special abilities dependent on the name it is given including poison and stuns. See the table below for main attack type in regard to name:

Prefix Attack style

General Melee
Executioner Very high damage
