Basically you need a ferocious ring for this, which you can only use in Kuradel's caves. Whenever I get a task like hell hounds, blue drags, or greater demons, I use throwing knives. This doesn't seem very effective, but it is... the fero ring increases each hit by 4 damage, and since the throwing knives attack very quickly, the 40+ damage stacks up very nicely. Regarding defense, you can either pray, or use a <acronym title="Dragonfire Shield">DFS</acronym>/healing familiar. Combine the fero ring with focus sight and the xp pwns :) averages about 80k+ xp an hour. here is an example of me owning gargoyles for 100k+ xp an hour. keep in mind gargoyles have a pretty decent defense and i still cut threw em with this method. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0WFrmJZCxI
