Chaos Elemental

The Chaos Elemental is the game's fifth most powerful monster, with a combat level of 305 and 250 hitpoints. It was released on February 20, 2006. It bears resemblance to a dark cloud with six tentacles and has a lavender tint. It dwells in the members-only section of the Wilderness by the Rogue's Castle. It also is currently the strongest Wilderness monster, overtaking the King Black Dragon, which held the title for 4 years.

Attacks
The Chaos Elemental's primary attack, thought to be magic-based, is a series of whorls of different colours fired at the target; however, the attack can hit for large amounts of damage unless the player uses the Protect from Ranged prayer. It also uses two special attacks. The first teleports players a short space to several screens away. The second unequips items that players are wielding, forcing them to take time to equip their armour and weapons before continuing the battle. The Chaos Elemental was introduced along with the Dragon two-handed sword, which it drops.



Drops

 * Dragon two-handed sword
 * 1000 Iron arrows
 * 100 Blood runes
 * Attack potion (1)
 * 500 Mithril darts
 * 1 Weapon poison
 * 500 Air runes
 * Dragon battleaxe
 * Dragon medium helmet
 * Bones
 * Baby dragon bones
 * Dragon bones

The Chaos Elemental is almost always hunted in groups, and it is coveted for the dragon two handed sword it drops, which sells at around 1.2 million coins. However, it is possible for a player to kill the Chaos Elemental by him or herself if that player has a reasonably high combat level.

Tactics
A useful tactic which can be used against the Chaos Elemental is to fill up your inventory with bowls of curry. The curry not only is useful as food, but leaves an empty bowl in your inventory when eaten, preventing the Chaos Elemental from unequipping your items (as long as your inventory is full). This tactic also works with potions which leave empty vials when all the doses are taken. Another tip is to put auto retaliate on and always keep a menu up with the option to attack the chaos elemental as when you get teleported you can just click on attack chaos elemental and quickly rejoin the fight.

Unlike some other boss monsters, surrounding the monster really has no use. Players tend to waste valuable time doing this and the must continuously get back into position after being teleported when they could be damaging the creature.

Ideal items for the fight

 * A fighter torso as a top piece of armour.
 * Dragonhide chaps for legs.
 * Dragonhide vambraces for arms (not mandatory)
 * An Abbysal whip for a main weapon.
 * A Dragon dagger(preferably super poisoned) for its special (Use special at the start of battle, a Dragon Dagger super poisoned is not mandatory).
 * Curry or Monkfish as food, most preferably curry.
 * A Super Set consisting of a Super attack potion, a Super strength potion, and a Super defence potion.

With this set the player should not need to be too nervous, as on death he or she will keep Abbysal whip, Dragon dagger, and theFighter torso. However, the player will lose petty dragonhide armour, potions and food on death. If the player does not have a fighter torso, he or she should bring a dragonhide body, as it has a good defence against the Chaos Elemental and is worth less in case something unexpected comes up.

Even with this set, the player should consider bringing some other people. By himself or herself, it is quite dangerous and if something goes wrong and he or she dies, nobody will get his or her stuff to give it back.

Pros/Cons
Pros
 * Moderately easy to access from the deep wilderness teleport lever in Ardougne.
 * A low number of pkers try to attack people fighting the Chaos Elemental because they are afraid of getting hurt from it.

Cons
 * Although few pkers risk their lives to attack people fighting the Chaos Elemental, there are those brave anough to do anything for a kill.
 * Pkers often will attack you during the short distance between the Ardounge teleport lever and the Chaos Elemental's location, if you are in a dangerous world.
 * The ability for the Chaos Elemental to unequip all that you are wearing, and its ability to hit through prayer is somewhat intimidating.

Oddities
With such a strange beast, it's easy to imagine there are some things about him that no other monster can compare to.
 * It is the only "boss" monster that does not exist in a sort of arena (Dagannoth Kings live in their cave, Kalphite Queen lives in her cave, etc.)
 * It is the only monster that have two separate drop lists, dropping one from each list.
 * It is the only monster than can unequip equipment.
