If you're doing The Summoning Pits the "legit" way, you should never run into a Shrieker in the entire strike.

If you're cheesing it by sitting in the room before you get to Phogoth and are talking about the shrieker that spawns after about five seconds, just retreat back to the previous room and wait for the shrieker to despawn.

Either way, you don't need to destroy any shriekers.
