Help killing cave slime

[atticusako]

Ive got a slayer task to kill 25 or so cave slime. I hate these things though. The second i get close to one they explode and extingish my light source and get hit for a load of damage. I should easily kill these things but the things keep exploding on me, ive tried maging and meleeing them. Guessing range will fail to. Is there a way to get around them exploding coz then i can easily deal with being poisoned. thanks

Go to GE, buy a Bullseye lantern and then use a tinderbox on it. You should notice your light source doesn't explode anymore.

I was just going to post this ^^. Although, an oil lantern or even a candle lantern will work if you don't have the firemaking level to light a bullseye. :

Seers headband is a non-extinguisable light source, which you can get easily. Saves an inventory spot as well...

^ What they said.

 

 

 

Seriously, PAY ATTENTION to the WARNINGS. Open flames WILL cause an EXPLOSION. Bring a COVERED LIGHT SOURCE. Torches and candles are NOT COVERED. Find out which ones ARE. It's not hard.
