Greater nechryael are stronger variants of nechryael that require level 80 Slayer to kill. They are found within the Catacombs of Kourend, Iorwerth Dungeon and the Wilderness Slayer Cave.

Like normal nechryael, greater nechryael can summon up to two Death spawns when fighting a player. These death spawns are the same as the ones summoned by normal nechryael. Using Protect from Melee is recommended, as the greater nechryael is more accurate and deals even more damage. Emberlight can be very effective against greater nechryael, as these are considered to be demonic creatures.

Unlike the twisted banshee, mutated bloodveld, deviant spectre and warped jellies, who have unique superior creatures compared to their standard counterparts, greater nechryael do not. They simply get the normal nechryarch instead, although its drop table is adjusted accordingly.
