Location
This insect empress lies in a deep lair in the Kharidian Desert. After leaving the Shantay Pass going west, the team of players must use a rope to climb down into the Kalphite Queen's lair. The Queen resides at the very end of the cavern, past several chambers full of Kalphite Workers, Kalphite Soldiers, and Kalphite Guardians. Beyond these creatures is another hole that must be climbed down via rope. In this last chamber, along with the Kalphite Queen, there are several of the smaller Kalphite beings, which pester players attempting to kill the Kalphite Queen, but these are generally ignored.

Two Forms
The Kalphite Queen has an extremely high combat level of 333. Each form has exactly 267 hitpoints, though it may heal some during combat. She transforms into two varieties of bug. In her first form, the Kalphite Queen is an immense scarab beetle; in her second form, she is a giant wasp. As a beetle, she activates prayers preventing normal damage by magic and ranged attacks. As a wasp, she uses the protect from melee prayer. She varies her attack among melee, mage, and ranged attacks. Challengers must prepare beforehand for these changes, or must be able to adapt styles.
