Overview

The fighting area consists of a platform 19 squares from west to east. The Queen Black Dragon's head can be attacked at the north of the arena.

The Queen Black Dragon fight takes place over four phases. She has 25,000 health in each phase; giving a total of 100,000 health. You will need to activate artefacts within the arena to progress. At start of the second, third, and fourth phases a magical platform is added to the arena, allowing the player to reach to the next appropriate artefact. Standing on one of these platforms for too long at once deals 1500 typeless damage every few seconds until the player returns to the original platform

Until the correct artefact has been activated, the Queen Black Dragon will continually spit out aggressive level 72 giant worms into the arena. Up to 11 worms may be present at any given time; if the player still has not activated the artefact after the maximum number of worms has been spawned, they receive the message Template:RSFont; the player begins receiving constant hard typeless hits of 2000 from the artefact until it is activated.

The Queen Black Dragon possesses two auto-attacks; a simple melee and ranged attack. The melee attack is only used when the player is within 5 spaces of her (two tiles north from the platform artefact); she simply lunges at the player to bite them. The ranged attack is used when the player is out of her melee attack range, in which she simply sweeps her head across the arena. This attack is generally stronger than her melee attack.

In addition to her auto-attacks the Queen Black Dragon will attack using standard dragonfire (with a ten second cooldown on her using this attack). This attack will hit over 1500 without any dragonfire protection; however it is reduced to the low 400s with full antifire protection.
