Three Times the Thrashing is a master combat achievement which requires the player to kill three Tormented Demons within three seconds.

There are two spots where the player can fight three demons at a time, both of which are in the south-western corner of the temple. These chambers are fairly open in a straight line, though the eastern chamber of the two has a small funnel that can help obscure vision.

Fighting three demons at a time will result in one demon using ranged or magic, the second one using melee, and the third one attacking the player with a single 1x1 fireball attack. If the second demon cannot use melee, it will begin using ranged or magic (depending on what the first demon is using) until they run back into range.

It is recommended to bring plenty of Saradomin brews for the achievement, as the demons can hit very hard and accurately.

This method is slow, reliable, and requires lots of food. Set up the Tormented Demons by attacking each one until they are not praying from ranged.

Bring a death stack of a full inventory of Saradomin brews and die. Then bring another death stack of anglerfish and Saradomin brews, then die.

Bring a toxic blowpipe and serpentine helm for a guaranteed venom proc, as well as your best tank gear, such as Justiciar armour with Dinh's bulwark. If you are bringing echo boots and a ring of suffering, ensure the recoil setting is turned off. Hit all 3 demons in quick succession, and ensure all 3 hit successfully for a damage of 15 and under. This ensures that the stacked venom damage (584 HP) + your damage (up to 15 HP) allows the demons to eventually sit just under 600 hitpoints, meaning the next venom splats kill the demons reliably.

This may take a long time to setup, but should be 100% reliable.

Alternatively, if you hit 3 initial successful hits (i.e. venom is applied successfully), but the damage done is 16 HP or above, then hit the other demons so the damage done by your blowpipe to each demon is between 16 and 35.

When the first demon dies to venom, DO NOT MOVE. Certain factors (such as an NPC moving) can cause it to reach 0 HP, but not "die" immediately.

If you can't be bothered to spend the time, or don't have the defensive stats/gear to tank, venom them and continue to attack while keeping an eye on when the demons will die. When the first two demons die to venom, kill off the third one quickly and this should obtain the achievement.

Another method if three demons is too much to handle or if you don't have access to venom is to first lower two demons health down below the threshold that they will instantly die to a strengthened attack after a fire bomb. Then, once you enter combat with the third demon, run around to avoid the melee demons attacks while using the appropriate protection prayer against the ranged or magic demon. This will avoid damage from all but the melee demon who will only occasionally be able to attack you, giving you time to heal with brews and lower the third demon's health. Once the third demon's health is low enough, wait for a fire bomb attack and kill all three demons in quick succession. If using this method, it is recommended to make sure that all demons start with Protect from Magic or Protect from Missiles, so that they will all use Protect from Melee at the last 150 health threshold. After they fall below 33 or lower health, kill them off with a ballista during the projectile attack. It is still possible to kill all three with melee, but this requires luring the demons closer, where there aren't many spaces to pull them in.

The demons will change their combat styles after launching the binding projectile and fireball attack. Players should take note of this to avoid being caught off surprise by the fireball-launching demon.

There are 5 Combat Achievement tasks (totalling 21 points) available for Tormented Demon.
