Kalphite King

The Kalphite King is a monsterous male kalphite released in January 2013. At a combat level of 230, it is currently the strongest monster in RuneScape.

The Kalphite King was first mentioned in the MCM Expo 2012 by Jagex moderators to be a monster stronger than the Queen Black Dragon. It was mentioned the King must be fought in groups in order to be defeated. The King is aimed for players of around 80 combat with gear around that level, in groups of 10 or more. There is a maximum of 20 people allowed to fight the Kalphite King at any one time, however. In the video they also revealed that there will be a new Kalphite Queen, because she isn't the challenge she used to be anymore.. It has been revealed that the Kalphite King will drop "a range of new, level 90 weaponry focused around dual-wielding melee users, with both main and off-hand maces, longswords and rapiers."

The fight with the Kalphite King is a challenge that requires players to be adept with the ability bar system and changes with the introduction of the Evolution of Combat. As well as being able to use all three attack styles, it has a special attack that causes a player to turn green, which if the player’s team members do not activate the Defence ability Provoke in time, will be hit for more than 10,000 damage, often resulting in a one-hit kill. Please note that the only way to avoid this is being saved with Provoke by your teammates.

The Kalphite King is also able to summon other exiled kalphite monsters, such as guardians and even a queen. It is currently unknown if these summoned monsters must be defeated in order to defeat the King.

The Kalphite King will not allow the use of Dwarf multicannons to be set up, however Dreadnips and Dominion mines appear to be able to be used.

If players are to die in the lair, their gravestone will appear in the dungeon.
