An effective safespot

Cockatrice are Slayer monsters that require level 25 Slayer to kill. A mirror shield or V's shield is required to defend against their piercing gaze, or else they will reduce your combat stats every hit, even while safespotting. As 20 Defence is needed to be able to wield a mirror shield, players who do not meet this requirement will not be assigned them as a task. It is worth noting that their strength lies purely in their piercing gaze ability; with a protective shield equipped, do not expect much of a fight. As such, not a lot of resources are necessary to hunt this monster.

They are rarely killed outside of Slayer tasks, generally only by those hunting the rare mystic boots (light) and cockatrice head drops.

A dwarf multicannon cannot be set up in the Fremmenik Slayer Caves. Those looking to use a cannon should kill moonlight cockatrice instead (requires 48 Slayer to begin the Perilous Moons quest. For access to Neypotzli, only partial completion of the Perilous Moons quest is required)
