The other version has a 110 combat level with 130 hit points, and they are at the Catacombs of Kourend in a multi-combat area. These monsters have a max hit of 8 and 10, respectively; they are not aggressive, and their primary weakness is magic.

Requirements

You will need at least Slayer level 65 to damage Dust Devils, and if you decide to go to the Smoke Dungeon location, you will have to complete the Desert Treasure Quest in advance.

Regarding the monster’s attack and strength levels, the truth is that they are pretty strong, but if you have decent magic defense gear, you shouldn’t find much trouble killing them.

Bursting/Barrage Magic Setup

Dust Devil Location

Catacombs of Kourend

One of the easiest ways to get to this location is by using a Kourend Portal or a Nexus Player inside a player’s house; remember that if you don’t have one, you can always use it someone else’s.

Another option is using a Kourend Castel Teleport in the standard Spell Book, but keep in mind that you must have read the Transportations and Incantations book first and having level 69 magic.

You can also use Xeric’s Talisman Teleport, but you must have completed the Architecture Alliance Quest beforehand.

Smoke Dungeon

There are three main ways of getting to the Smoke Dungeon. The first one requires you to use a Teleport Scroll to Nardah, which you can buy from the Grand Exchange. You will have to use Magic Carpet Transportation on the western side of the city that will take you to Pollnivneach.

Your next option is getting yourself to the Pollnivneach House Portal, which you can do by moving your house for 7,500 coins along with level 20 construction. You can also make yourself a Pollnivneach House Tablet by using a scroll of redirection that you get from Nightmare Zone on a teleport to House Tablet. This requires level 20 construction to make, and you will only have to exit your house portal and head northwest.

The last option you have is using the Magic Carpet to ride South of Shantay Pass to get yourself to Pollnivneach. This will cost you around 200 coins. Once you get there, simply run south past the mountain and then head Northwest.
