The nechryarch is a superior variant of nechryael and greater nechryael. It has a chance of spawning after purchasing the unlock Bigger and Badder for 50 Slayer reward points from any Slayer master.

Like nechryael, nechryarch can summon minions to assist it in battle. It will summon 3 chaotic death spawns, with each one attacking with magic, ranged and melee. These spawns hit harder, but their attacks can be successfully prayed against. Like normal death spawns, they ignore combat restrictions. As players will be subjected to all three forms of combat with very high damage, a common tactic is to run away from the spawns until they lose interest and repeat until the nechryarch dies. Alternatively, they can be killed with area-of-effect attacks in the Catacombs of Kourend.

Like their standard counterparts, the chaotic death spawns will not be summoned if the nechryarch is unable to attack the player back (such as when being safespotted).

The Slayer Tower Basement has many tables which makes safespotting the nechryarch very easy and makes slaying them a lot safer. Even if meleeing the Nechryael it is worth bringing a range weapon or runes for a magic spell to kill any nechryarch that spawn.

Once the nechryarch dies, the most recent set of chaotic death spawns they summoned will immediately despawn. Any other sets will despawn in a short period of time.

Drops (regular nechryael + Iorwerth)

Drop rates are estimated based on 387,181 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The following items are dropped wherever regular nechryael can be found, and also in the Iorwerth Dungeon which has greater nechryael.

The average Nechryarch kill, not including crystal shards or clues, is worth:

212,995 while on a non-Konar task.

298,650 while on a Konar task.

In addition to 100% drops and tertiary drops, superior slayer monsters will always roll 3 additional items, of which only 1 roll may be from the superior unique table. The other rolls are performed on the regular counterpart's table; their displayed drop chances represent a single roll.

Trivia

Their in-game models resemble and they use the same animations as giants, similarly to abhorrent spectres. Likewise, when idle (not moving) they remain completely static.
They are the only superior slayer monster that spawns for both their normal and stronger counterparts, although they do have different drop tables depending on which variant was killed.
Although the nechryarchs cannot be attacked by the other players, their chaotic death spawns can be fought by anyone.
