Hellhounds are monsters that are often given as a Slayer task to mid-to-high level players. Hellhounds are primarily killed for their hard clue scroll drops, as they drop them at a much higher rate compared to most other non-boss/superior monsters.

In order to be assigned them as a slayer task, the player must have 75 combat (unless it is not counted). Players with 91 Slayer may also kill Cerberus as an alternative to a hellhound task. Other alternatives include the skeleton hellhounds from Calvar'ion and Vet'ion. All other hellhound variants do not count towards the task.

Strategy

Hellhounds are demonic creatures, so demonbane weapons will work against them. Their high combat level is mainly reflective of their accurate and powerful attacks; their low defensive stats make them fairly easy to defeat. Their magic defence is virtually non-existent - paired with their weakness to water, even a player with a negative magic attack bonus (e.g. when wearing Proselyte armour) will rarely miss when using water spells.

As they only attack with melee, Protect from Melee can be used to nullify their attacks. The lowest effort way to use this strategy is at the Catacombs of Kourend, as the area is a multi-combat zone. Players who have completed at least easy tasks of the Ardougne Diary can teleport to Kandarin Monastery to recharge Prayer points, and teleport back via Xeric's talisman's Xeric's Heart option or the Kourend Castle Teleport spell (requires 48 Magic and completion of Client of Kourend to unlock the spell). Alternatively, a player-owned house altar and Kourend portal may be used. Bring prayer-boosting armour such as the Proselyte armour for longer trips and some food just in case you run out of Prayer points and get hit by the hellhounds. Prayer "flicking" can dramatically reduce the cost of fighting them; however, this requires close attention and food to correct mistakes. Taking advantage of the Guthan's healing set effect is also an effective strategy for longer trips.

Since they occupy a large space of 2-by-2 squares, hellhounds can easily be safespotted in Taverley Dungeon on rocks and columns, or in the Witchaven Dungeon. In the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon, they can be safespotted with range at the entrance by staying against the north wall and luring the two northern spawn Hellhounds towards the entrance. They may also be safespotted in the Kourend dungeon by ranging them from the south of the room, using the corner of the entry hallway to block. Also it is possible to safespot them from the south in the Kourend Catacombs from the north exit, drag them along the wall and safespot them from the furthest tile in the corridor to the brutal dragons. It is also possible to safespot Hellhounds in the Wilderness Slayer dungeon by running to the gap in the stalagmites on the eastern wall in level 17 Wilderness. Get the closest Hellhound to the north from that spot to be aggressive towards you and use it to block others from attacking until the aggression timer is up, after which then safespot can be used freely.

Players hunting hard clue scrolls can kill hellhounds located east of the Deserted Keep while wearing a ring of wealth (i). This doubles the drop rate of clue scrolls from hellhounds, from 1/64 to 1/32.

Ensouled hellhound heads can be sent to the bank with a charged Soul bearer.
