In Old School RuneScape, Gargoyle is a slayer monster which can be found in the top floor and basement of the Slayer Tower. If you want to defeat this monster, you need to use the best weapon. So, what is the best weapon for defeating Gargoyle in OSRS? Here, we will inform you about it.
The Best Weapon for Defeating Gargoyle
If you want to defeat OSRS Gargoyle, you need to have 75 slayers and enough slayer points or gp to be able to buy the hammer items and gargoyle smasher perk. You can buy a rock hammer which can be bought from a slayer master.
The best weapon that you are able to use for defeating Gargoyle is the abyssal bludgeon. It is a two handed crush weapon. It is created by having The Overseer combine three untradeable components including bludgeon claw, bludgeon axon, and bludgeon spine. If you have had the Overseer to create it, you are able to use the three components on the book it left behind. To equip this weapon, you need level 70 Attack and Strength. You are able to get the components from using the unsired, dropped by the Abyssal Sire, on the Font of Consumption.
If you want to finish a full budgeon, the average number of Sire kills needed by players is 619.4. The number of kills most players need to get to complete a bludgeon is at least 552. The bludgeon has a unique characteristic where all of its attack styles are aggressive. It means that it is only able to be used for Strength training. Besides, all of its attack styles use crush.

Penance is the special attack of the abyssal bludgeon. This special attack can increase damage dealt by 0.5% for every prayer point that the wielder is missing, consuming 50% of the wielder’s special attack energy.
The bludgeon has the similar attack speed as the abyssal whip. Even though it does not match the offensive bonuses of a whip which is combined with a dragon defender oor avernic defender, the bludgeon features the second highest overall damage of any crush weapon after Inquisitor’s mace. It makes this weapon a good choice to use for attacking monsters weak like gargoyles and kalphites.
The abyssal bludgeon is the fourth best weapon to train Strength with. The position of this weapon as the fourth best weapon is behind the other weapons including Ghrazi rapier, blade of saeldor, and Inquisitor’s mace. The abyssal bludgeon features superior damage per second of every other non-degradable weapon to feature an aggressive attack style. It makes this weapon a common weapon option for mid-wealth players.
