Penance Queen

The Penance Queen is the boss monster of the Barbarian Assault minigame, as well as RuneScape's 15th most powerful monster in combat level, though some believe she is easily as hard as the Kalphite Queen. She uses magic attacks in rapid succession that can hit five people at a time, doing into the high teens in damage. Players may not use protection prayers whilst fighting her. She can easily wipe out a whole party of players if there is no cooperation.

Upon defeating her, players will receive 80 points in their chosen class, as well as 5 points in all other classes. Also players may now receive items from the commander on the ground floor of the barbarian assault building that they were previously not able to.

As she is located within a "safe" minigame, it is not possible to lose items when fighting her.

Fighting Strategy
Recommended group formation:


 * 1 Attacker
 * 1 Defender
 * 2 Healers
 * 1 Collector

After a certain amount of time, the queen will come out and fire wave upon wave of magic attacks. Level 63 Queen Spawn will also attack. The CHAD system must be used to defeat her, it goes as follows:
 * The collector must gather the yellow eggs that spawn around the room and pass it to a healer by using the egg on them.
 * The healer with the egg must dunk it in a poison crater to poison it.
 * The healer must then pass it to the attacker who must get spikes from a mushroom and make the egg spiky.
 * The attacker must then pass the egg to the defender who will dunk the poisoned spiky egg into a lava vent to make an Omega egg.

The defender must return the egg to the collector who will then load the egg into the cannon, then fire the egg out of the cannon and do massive damage on the queen. Repeat this process 7 or 8 times to finish the fight; this is harder than it sounds.

Also, Queen Spawns will be aggressively moving around the chamber; ignore those as they will have little effect on the outcome of the fight.



Tips

 * Guthan's is quite useful for this fight players with this set can heal off the Queen spawn taking some of the pressure of the healers.
 * It's best for the group to stay near one of the healing pools so you can be constantly healed by the second healer.
 * Dragonhide seems to make no difference than rune in protecting against her magic attacks.
 * It takes a while so be patient.
