Boss status
Kalphite Queen Overview
Quick answer
The Kalphite Queen is one of the four named bosses or mini-bosses added with Umbral Sands. The 0.12 hotfix log records a fix for sand levels changing drastically during the encounter.
Encounter context
The boss belongs to the Kalphite branch of the desert roster, alongside Workers, Soldiers and Guardians. Kalphite Carapace is also the ranged Vestige armour set introduced in the same update, but the official overview does not state a complete drop chain.
What to verify before a strategy page
A trustworthy boss strategy needs the entrance route, arena conditions, attacks, weaknesses, phases and drop table from the current patch. Until those are tested, this page provides confirmed status and patch history rather than guessed counters.
