Echo Kalphite Queen is a more challenging variant of the Kalphite Queen that was accessible during the Demonic Pacts and Raging Echoes League. To fight it, the player must carry a desert echo orb, which the regular Kalphite Queen drops.

The unique drop of Echo Kalphite Queen is the drygore blowpipe, a fast ranged weapon loaded with darts that has a chance to inflict burn.

The Echo Kalphite Queen is significantly different from the original Kaphite Queen. It is a more mechanical encounter rather than a test of attrition. In stark contrast to the original, a perfectly executed Echo Kalphite Queen fight results in the player taking zero damage.

Like the original encounter, she has 2 phases, with her ranged and magic attacks having 100% accuracy. However, her magic attack, indicated by her charging an orb around her mouth, deals damage on impact rather than on execution, allowing the attack to be prayed against with quick reactions. The magic attack will also drain prayer points if it is not prayed against correctly. Also like her original encounter, her protection prayers do not provide full immunity, but rather improved defence against those styles.

In her first phase, she will only attack with melee and magic, provided the player remains in melee range. If the player is not within melee distance, she will attack with a prayer-piercing and extremely damaging ranged attack, accompanied by the chat box message The Queen punishes your distance with a piercing attack! and will continue to do so until the player returns to melee range. All attack damage can be avoided by praying against melee and switching to magic when the Queen rears up to launch her magic attack.

In her second phase, she will only attack with ranged and magic. The player can attack from a distance in this phase, but she will still use her distance-punishing attack if the player is more than 7 tiles away. All attack damage (except for the distance-punishing attack) can be avoided by praying against range, again switching to magic when necessary.

In both phases, the Kalphite Queen will constantly be charging up for a special attack, which is displayed by the yellow bar underneath her health bar. When this bar is full, she will screech Bzzzz! and execute one of two special attacks:

• In Phase 1, she will alternate between casting lightning bolts in all directions 4 tiles away from her, and then casting lightning bolts on all tiles under her, beginning with the outwards attack, requiring the player to move under her and then out again quickly. The attack ends after the third outward attack, resulting in 5 attacks in total.
• In Phase 2, she will cast lightning in the direction of the player in a 3-wide attack 6 times, 3 ticks apart. This can easily be avoided by running around the Queen, or similarly to The Leviathan's lightning attack, by running back and forth between two tiles with correct spacing. Alternatively, you can avoid the attack altogether by standing directly under her on the centre tile of her 5x5 size radius once it begins. For two-tick attack weapons, you can alternate between 1 and 2 attacks between the lightning attacks while moving two ticks around her to a safe tile. This is similar to phase 3 Wardens with Insanity enabled.

Kalphite Queen (Echo) rolls the same drops as regular Kalphite Queen, in addition to a roll for its unique echo item.

This boss has appeared in a previous temporary event:

• Raging Echoes League
  • The unique drop was the drygore blowpipe
