Notes

Level 60 Slayer and a Nose peg or Slayer helmet is a requirement to defeat these beasts successfully. Spectres give 90 slayer experience per kill. They can not only attack from a long distance with smoke bombs, but if not wearing your Nose peg or Slayer helm, you can become a quick victim of rapidly losing your stats. Don't try and make a run for the spiked chain without the Nose peg, or you may find you don't have the Agility level required to climb it.



Aberrant spectres are known to be good gold charm droppers. Also note that they are aggressive in the Slayer Tower, but non-aggressive in the Desert Slayer Dungeon. Beware of fighting them in the Desert Slayer Dungeon, though, if you do not possess a Slayer helmet. The smoke effect in the dungeon will lower your life points drastically, which cannot kill you, but it will stay at 10. Thus, it is advised only using initiate there with a constant eye on your prayer points. If they run out, you're most likely as good as dead. You can use a cannon in the Desert Slayer Dungeon to speed the process of your possible slayer task.

Tactics

The most common way of fighting these is with full initiate or monk robes, a Holy wrench and a few prayer potions depending on how many Herbs you plan on keeping. Other methods involve using dragonhide armour and a powerful dragon or barrows weapon. Since they are also undead, the Salve amulet's effect works on them during combat. They are weak against slash attacks so blades and whips are the best for killing these. Keep in mind that Salve amulet and Slayer helmet do not work together; you must choose between the two.
