There is a possibility of the Gargoyles to be assigned as a slayer task at level 75, level 80 combat, and with the completion of the Priest in Peril quest by various slayer masters. If you have no idea, these things are able to be only found in the Slayer Tower, which is either on the top floor or in the basement.
The players can kill the ones located in the basement of the Slayer Tower while on a Slayer task. In case the players try to kill them outside the Slayer task, they will be stopped by Raulyn. It is worth nothing that Gargoyles have a Superior slayer monster variant, the level 349 Marble gargoyle. It is also possible for the Gargoyles to drip the Brittle key, the one that gives the access to the Grotesque Guardians at the top of the Slayer Tower, the name of the boss variant of the monster.
Using a rock hammer, a rock thrownhammer, or a granite hammer is a must in order to kill a gargoyle. It is when the players reach 9 or lower Hitpoints. In the normal state, the item has to be used on the gargoyle, but the players have an option to buy the Gargoyle Smasher perk which costs 120 Slayer Points. To buy it, please see Slayer masters. This item is so good as it has the ability to automatically smash the gargoyle when it falls to 9 or lower Hitpoints. It is only possible in case there is a rock hammer or something like that in the inventory of the player. If it is equipped, the gargoyles will automatically be smashed by the granite hammer even without the perk.

RS3 Gargoyles Slayer Guide
In RuneScape 3, Gargoyles are able to be assigned at level 75 slayer by a total of six different Slayer Masters, such as Chaeldar, Sumona, Duradel, Kuradal, Morvran, and Mandrith. Each of the monsters that has been mentioned is the best overall tasks for mid level Slayer and it is recommended to add them to the list until you reach a higher level.
Aside from having a great experience in both Slayer and Magic, they also have a great profit. Plus, they are also able to be found in many different locations so that everyone can access them easily. The only minus point is that they need to be smashed with a rock hammer. However, players can purchase it automatically for 40 Slayer points to make everything easy.
Gargoyles can be found in some different locations around the game. If you want to get extra experience, you can complete the task in the Wilderness. Before trying it, do keep in mind that this location is dangerous. Apparently, each of these following locations has its own advantages. It means you have to select wisely before making a decision.
-
- Slayer Tower
- Kuradal’s Dungeon
- East Ruins
- Chaos Tunnels
The strategy is started by preparing everything. Do not forget to take a Ferocious Ring if you are using Kuradal’s. Besides, you need to also bring a Full Slayer Helmet or Hexcrest. It is needed for you to bring Rock Hammer if the ability to smash Gargoyles automatically has not been unlocked. You can bring the cheap mid tier one in case you are using the Wilderness to complete the task.
It has been known that Gargoyles do not use any ranged attacks, making them easy to safespot by using some different objects in any location. However, they have low hitpoints. Actually, killing them is easy as long as you are using a T70 or higher weapon and you should be by level 75 Slayer.
In some cases, runes might also be helpful for the High Alchemy spell. In addition, please use and complete Contracts if the Slayer Tower or Wilderness locations are used.
