Kalphite Queen

Introduction

As a very old boss, Kalphite Queen is relatively unrewarding and relatively simple. Typically only done for the pet or collection log, there is no further reason for a high level account to do this boss. The only notable mechanic is her form change. She will spawn into the instance immune to range and Magic. After the first 40k damage is dealt, she will change forms to her flying form, which is immune to melee.

If doing the boss on a low level account for a Reaper task, bring your best melee and range / Magic equipment, along with some food and poison protection.

If farming the boss for log on a high level account, you can do it actively for 88+ KPH or AFK for 40-45 KPH.

Active Strategy

⬥ You will be instance hopping between the uninstanced encounter and an instanced encounter.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• This method will work better if you have a friend in the instance to eliminate the wait for the initial spawn.

⬥ Uninstanced encounter rotation:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• First form: gbargeassaultoverpowerigneouschaosroar / decidestroy

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Use basics dismember sever in between if entering with low adrenaline.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Waiting for second form spawn: Use basic on minion → Swap to sirenicmask ecb + grico minion → mds / ecb spec if 100% adrenaline → voke minion

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Second form: Auto + deadshotigneoussgb eofspecgricosnap and/or mds

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Immediately climb out once KQ HP hits 0. KC and loot in the uninstanced encounter will register even if you are not in it.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• (tc) + Tuskas / piercing minion + rejoin instanced encounter

⬥ Instanced encounter rotation:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Before spawn (if entering on empty instance): antifreedombd for adren if needed.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ (tc) just after anti runs out.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• The first form and second form rotations are the same as above.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Upon KQ death, do your melee switch and (tc) + voke before climbing out if you're the only one in the encounter.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Climbing out immediately and leaving the instance empty before KQ finishes the dying animation will cause the kill to not count and no loot will register. This is avoided if you have a friend in the instance.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• If missing pet, wait for the loot to appear first before climbing up.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• (tc) + anti → join uninstanced encounter

⬥ Sip adrenrenewal whenever needed.
