Talk:Kalphite Queen

985 hitpoints?
The article states that the Kalphite Queen has 267 hits in each form, but some sources say that she has 985 hits in total. Does anyone know where the 985-HP figure came from? --Ixfd64 03:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What's the source? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  06:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there's several sources.  However, I saw several videos on YouTube and the 276-HP figure seems much more reasonable. --Ixfd64 06:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Chances are, one of these sources copied the other. Just thought I'd point that out. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  16:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

somone try to monster examine it in form 1 and then in form 2. perhaps then we could have an officail hp lvl of the kq. i dont edit articles because i cant stand typing grammatiaclly corretcly.

^^Noob... Both forms are 255hp each. A lot of monsters have 256 levels of hp, including dead, because it's a power of 2, eg 2^31 is max you can have of an item. 15:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Trivia Section
The Kalphite Queen somewhat resembles Metroid Prime.


 * When you say this are you actually refering to the Parasite Queen from Metroid Prime 1? --Whiplash 17:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't put it there, but I'd say it probably means, er, Metroid Prime. Not the Parasite Queen. What was the Parasite Queen, anyway? Where in the game? I completed it twice, but it was a while ago. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  18:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Boss 1 in the station. --Whiplash 18:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * First boss of the game? Nah, it means good ol' Metroid Prime herself. Huge shelled crab thing first, firing diferent kinds of weapons at you; vulnerable only to one weapon at a time. Defeat her and she shed her shell and becomes a semi-ethereal tentacled...thing. I supposed the similarity was drawn from the whole breaking-free-of-the-shell thing.

New pic
Does anyone know what the new Kalphite Queen looks like? Tesfan 16:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, its up in the knowledge base, dont think we can use those though, someones gotta go down there and get some. --Marcus Gord 16:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

For the moment, could we link to the knowledge base? the new picturs look AWSOME. Tesfan 22:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why we can't feature external links at the bottom, but it would be really nice to go and get some of our own. Yleron 13:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I saw it in the cutscene at the start of Swan Song, it's great. Unfortunately, everytime I try and upload a picture, theres something wrong, so I can't do anything :(--Andy mci 20:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

If you upload it to something like imageshack and link to it here, someone else can upload it for you? Yleron 10:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Infobox
The great Kalphite Queen doesn't even have a monster infobox? Mathwhiz90601 00:15, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

She does now. Mr. Garrison 23:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Ranking
Wouldn't KQ be 4th highest monster in the whole game if we include the level 343 monster from Dream Mentor, that's if we're including quest only monsters to the rankings. Mr. Garrison 23:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hitpoints clarification
The Kalphite Queen's hitpoints are 255 for each form, confirmed by monster examine. Its slayer XP is 268.

Don't ask me where the incompetent Bestiary people at RuneHQ got 985.

~Jard Y Dooku, "Master of HP"

Can I just make a note about this; Can I clarify that the second form must have 250hp and the first form 260hp - as a ruby special done on the KQ at full health takes off 50; whereas a ruby bolt special done on the God wars bosses takes off 51 - and over the hundreds of times I've killed her, I've always counted 250-252 as her hp count for her second form. ~ Kdapro


 * The maximum hp for any non-familiar monster is 255, i believe. If it's not, or you still don't think so, use the Lunar spell Monster examine to check for yourself. It has been confirmed that it is 255 by monster examine, check the post above. Gaz Lloyd 12:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

?
Do we realy need the uses of the drop section? im gona delete it since it doesn't help at all and has bad gramar. Revert it if anyone thinks other wise chasngcars  23:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Black mask?
I've heard that if you use a black mask while having kalphites as your slayer assignment you can hit through her protect from melee. Is this true? Aquilae 05:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure, but I doubt it. The black mask will increase your attack and strength by 15% if kalphites are your slayer assignment, but I don't think it will allow you to hit through prayer. The only thing to be able to do that, I presume, is full Verac's. The black mask is still very useful for the queen's first form, if you have a kalphite assignment... especially if you combine it with the effect of the Keris. Gaz Lloyd 12:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Dragon 2h sword?
I just read the knowledge base of runescape and it says that some mighty warriors fight her with the dragon 2h and none has return and she may drop the dragon 2h sword as a rare drop is this true?
 * Yes, it is. Remember to sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~). Gaz Lloyd 12:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Charms?
It says on the page that the queen drops 10 of each charm. However, on the Charms article, the KQ is not listed under multiple charm droppers. Does anyone have any confirmation that she does/does not drop 10 at once? See also: Talk:Charms

Also, I am changing the Charms template into a list of the charms -Gold, Green, Crimson and Blue- since she won't drop Talon beast charms (or any of the other tertiary charms either)! Gaz Lloyd 13:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Summoning Tactics
Someone mentioned in the main article that combat summoning familiars can be used to make kills faster but u need to use two different combat type familiars? i dont understand this isnt all damage that comes from a familiar actually summoning damage? and the kalaphite doesnt actually pray against summoning damage in either form so any familiar of any combat type should be able to hit it in either form? has anybody thoughtly tested this with high combat lvl familiars?--Teblin1 18:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * following up on what ive said i found some new information i am wrong bout above e.g. if you take a steel titan it will be using ranged attacks so it wont be able to hit KQ in her first form but the summon scroll steel of legends should be able to because that causes summoning damage that the KQ doesnt protect against. similarly The iron titan should be able to hit KQ in her first form because it uses melee attacks but in its second form u will have to use its scroll Iron Within to deal damage. So basically u can either use scrolls or switch pets between he 2 forms.
