Method to Fight Hellhounds

Melee is the only one that is used by the hellbounds to attack. By using the protect from melee overhead, as a player, you are able to totally free yourself from getting any damage when facing hellbounds. Most locations also have safe spots such as stronghold slayer cave, tavern dungeon, and karuulm slayer dungeon. For those who are on a slayer task, bringing a dwarf cannot is a good idea as it is effective to speed up your skills and hourly experience rates dramatically. The stronghold slayer cave, the one that is located in the tree gnome stronghold is the best location for setting up a dwarf cannot on the hellbound task.

In case you do not like the hellbound task, feel free to use an Expeditious bracelet located on the top of the dwarf cannot in order to speed up kills even more. There is a 25% chance of the Expeditious bracelet to count 1 kill as two kills towards the slayer task. The good news is that it does give you the additional experience. There are a total of 30 charges in every bracelet and it is able to be bought for less than 1K from the grand exchange.

Fighting the hellhounds by using the overhead prayers is recommended if you want to get the advantage from armor with high prayer bonuses such as proselyte and the use of a bonecrusher or even bone crusher necklace.
