Prayer Smasher is an elite combat achievement which requires the player to kill the Kalphite Queen using only Verac's flail as a weapon. Inflicting recoil damage with a ring of recoil, ring of suffering, echo boots, or Vengeance is not allowed. This has to be done solo; damage from another player will invalidate the kill even if they are also using a flail. However, damage from thralls and poison inflicted via the serpentine helm are allowed, and the kill can be completed over several trips.

The entire Verac's set is not needed to complete the task, only the flail, though the set effect makes it stronger than some mid and lower level setups even while on task. If not using the full set, strength bonus and crush attack bonus should be prioritised. Kalphite tasks can be assigned by any Slayer master other than Krystilia for the Slayer helmet or black mask bonus. Alternatively, the serpentine helm can be used for its poison chance, allowing you to wait out the poison and avoid taking hits from the Kalphite Queen.

It is also possible to complete this achievement without the use of a Verac's flail at all if A Kingdom Divided has been completed. The task will complete if the Kalphite Queen is killed using only magic thralls. However, after 12 game ticks, the thrall will lose focus on your target so you need to be hitting the Kalphite Queen every 12 game ticks. The best way to do this is with a melee setup with -64 Crush Accuracy, which guarantees that every melee attack will miss. This is easily achieved with a cursed goblin hammer as it has -100 crush accuracy. By combining this with a flinching setup described on the strategies page one can take almost no damage completing this. Let the thrall do four attacks before stepping out to do a non-damaging flinch, step back under and repeat until dead. Splashing with a range or mage setup will also work. If not flinching then stepping under the Kalphite Queen between attacks will help to reduce the total damage taken while attempting the kill.

1 defence tip:

Bringing an alt account with the Heal other spell and a flail to kill the first form can make it a singular trip.
