General information

The Kalphite Queen is a very powerful boss that requires attention if you plan on staying long. This is because it can attack with all three combat styles and hit up to 38 damage, but worst of all it has two different stages which use protection prayers that block 100% of the players damage if they are using the wrong style.
In contrast to a lot of other bosses, choosing which prayer to use at the Kalphite Queen is very tricky due to the fact that the Kalphite Queen has multiple attack styles. Due to the Kalphite Queen's relatively low hitpoints , it is much more worthwhile to tank as much damage rather than getting a high DPS.

Location

Step 1

To get to the Kalphite Queen. locate the Purple Wizard and teleport there via "Bosses", then "Kalphite Queen.

Step 2

You should be outside the lair, near the entrance. Climb down tunnel entrance.

Step 3

Follow the way you see here. If you're a member, you can use the crevice found at the very first turn in the cave, about 10 tiles from the entrance to the lair itself. It looks like a black rift in the wall.

Step 4

To climb down the tunnel entrance, you need a rope. To get a rope, buy it from the shop keeper or shop assistant at the shops area. You can find this area with the ::shops command followed by a short walk west or going north-west from the ::home bank area.

Inventory & Prayer

The inventory of Kalphite Queen can seem a bit cluttered, so starting with less switches can be recommended at first. The essentials are:

  • A ranged setup to switch into one the first phase is done with
  • A spec weapon (Dragon Whip / Warhammer recommended to either quickly get over the first phase or lower it's defenses throughout the entire fight)
  • Prayer Restoration
  • Food (Combo food HIGHLY recommended)
  • Runes for Vengeance can be very helpful
  • And as always, an emergency teleport, in case things turns sour

As for prayers, it's recommended to stick with Ranged as it's most accurate. You can try flicking her with how she sometimes does the same attack mulitple times in a row, but it's not recommended.

Mechanics

The Kalphite Queen has a lot of hidden small mechanics that not everyone knows about when fighting her at first.

First off, there's her attacks. Her melee, range and magic attack can all hit 38 as stated above. However, to add onto that, the kalphite queen's magic and ranged attack has 100% accuracy, meaning it will NEVER hit a 0 if not prayed against.

Second, her ranged attack will drain 1 prayer point from you, no matter what, protect from missiles or not. This prayer drop can be negated by wearing Spectral Spirit Shield.

As stated above, all 3 attacks can hit up to 38, so combo food is HIGHLY recommended.

Possible strategy

Kalphite Queen can be a frustrating boss at first, but once you practice this strategy enough you will be getting more and more kills per trip. If you are a first timer, it's recommended to use Verac's through the whole kill due to it's prayer negating set effect.

Form 1 (Crawling stage)

The first form of the Kalphite Queen looks like a scarab beetle, and uses all 3 combat styles against you. This form uses a protection prayer which blocks out 100% of both magic and ranged attacks. So the only combat style to work against this form of the Kalphite Queen is melee.

Form 2 (Flying stage)

The second form of the Kalphite Queen looks like a wasp like creature, and also uses all 3 combat styles against you. This time however, the Kalphite Queen uses a protection prayer which blocks out 100% of melee attacks. So you will either have to use magic of ranged attacks to damage her. Bear in mind that Verac's also works here due to the set effect making it able to negate the melee prayer.
