Kalphite Queen

Kalphite Queen

The kalphite queen also called the '''KQ. '''The Kalphite Queen is most famous for dropping the Dragon Chainbody armour, and is the only monster besides the Dust Devil to drop it. The Kalphite Queen is one of the toughest monsters in Equillium, and she can inflict incredible amounts of damage, sometimes constantly. It is recommended for players to only bring items into the lair they are willing to lose.

How do I damage it the most?


The best armour for fighting the Kalphite Queen is considered to be a full set of Verac's Armour, since the special effect of the Verac's set has a chance to ignore prayer and defence bonuses.

Usually, killing the Kalphite Queen is done in sets of two, as this is the easiest. Both player's usually also follow a tactic widely recommended by experienced KQ hunters.

The tactic is to stand each players on opposite sides of the Kalphite Queen; one in front of her and one behind her. This is done for two reasons: 1) She has to turn 180 degrees to damage either of you, so she will rapidly turn between you, and thus hitting you as little as possible, and 2) so her Mage attack no longer can ricochet from one player to another.

A good idea is to bring an item like a Dragon Dagger P++ or a Dragon Mace and use the specials as soon as you enter the room. The Dragon Mace can hit harder, but the DDP++ is recommended because it is faster (allowing you to switch back to Verac's Flail) and can poison the Queen.

Once the first form of the Queen is dead, the second form pops out. The second form has the same amount of hitpoints and her maximum hit does the same amount of damage, but she hits her max-hit more often.
