Kalphite Guardian

Kalphite Guardians are found in the Kalphite Lair southwest of Shantay Pass, near the entrance to and inside the Kalphite Queen's room.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Kalphite Guardians will inflict poison everytime they hit (even if you have the Protect from Melee prayer on), starting at 6 damage, on a player when damage is dealt. They can hit for up to 16 damage in melee and can hit frequently. They can be safely ranged from a couple locations, however they are fairly strong against ranged attacks and ranging is not recommended. A somewhat common tactic is to poison them with a dragon dagger(p++) then back up and range. Kalphites are most vulnerable to crushing style attacks, however most players still prefer to use abyssal whip or dragon scimitar for training. Keris is also highly effective for training against Kalphites.
