Do NOT bring your Dominion Marker. Mod Tlq has confirmed that the Marker does not work and that this is intentional. No further explanation has been given. Source: Runescape Forums, QFC: 15-16-123-63755336

Dreadnips and Dominion Gloves DO work as normal.

The area is multi-combat so Dominion Mines can't be deployed.

A Dwarf Cannon can't be deployed.

Strategy
Before entering turn range pray on. This is a necessity because she will hit constant 300's if you forget. Also do not forget to drink some super antifire/antifire potion because she WILL heavily damage you for the normal dragonfire breath of 400-600+.

It is not advised to kill the souls that appear during the fight, due to fact that steel titan hits more accurately on the queen than on spirits.

When she leans her head backwards that indicates that she is going to prepare to use a fire-shield attack and it is recommended to go to the far end of the arena to dodge her attack.

Attack her with your preferred attack style. There is no way to avoid her fire breath so remember to brew when necessary. She will occasionally summon a wall of fire about as tall as the player. There will be one cell in which has a gap. Quickly make your way through the gap or you will be hit 200 lp. Phase one should not be too difficult just remember to brew and restore.

Once her first health bar is depleted, QUICKLY pray mage and deactivate the stone in the centre of the platform you are on. If you don't, you will be hit constant 200's by the grotworms. Also DO NOT STAY On THE INVISIBLE PLATFORM. To the north an invisible platform will start to take shape once you deplete her first life bar. As you continue through the phases, this platform will become larger. For every 2 ticks you stand on this platform you will be hit 200 lp. Kill all of the grotworms and quickly turn your range pray back on. A tortured spirit will be summoned and will constantly hit you 200 lp when he activates his attack. He will not always be on his main attack but rather following you to melee minor hits. A good idea is to, before the fight, jump into the Oo'glog infinite run spa. Keep your distance from the spirit while attacking the Queen with your preferred attack style and lure the spirit behind the crystal. This will only last a few turns because the Queen will continue attacking you with her fire wave which means you will have to move anyway. In this phase, she will summon two consecutive fire walls. Right before the first gap in the fire wall is about to pass you, run to the other gap.

NOTE: If one stands behind the first artifact and ranges the Queen, you are considered out of melee distance and it will not hit you. also know that all other damage can still hit you.

An anti-dragon shield or dragonfire shield with an anti-fire potion also cancels some of the dragonfire damage. This decreases the damage to about 200ish LP per breath.
