Ice Queen

The Ice Queen is a moderately dangerous boss with a variety of special attacks. Luckily, she only uses magic based attacks, so the obvious choice for prayer is Protection from Magic. However, her attacks will still do partial damage through the prayers, so armour with strong magic defence and high healing food is important to bring. The most common attack style used against the Ice Queen is magic, as the Ice Queen has a relatively low magic defense and the healing ability of blood barrage will save the eating a lot of food. An alternative choice is to use melee; although you'll use more food than if you were using magic, the kills you get will be much faster. For either style, using a divine spirit shield will be highly beneficial due to its damage absorption effect.

The Ice Queen has the 3 types of attacks, these are:

  • An ice barrage attack that can freeze the player, and hit up to 55
  • An earth surge that can hit up to 55 and is multitarget
  • A special attack that drains your prayer by up to 40 points

Of the three, the prayer-draining attack is the most dangerous, because if your prayer runs out you will be taking a lot more damage very quickly.

Gear and inventory setup

As noted above, the best combat styles to use against the Ice Queen are magic and melee. Players on a tight budget will probably prefer magic gear, as it is much less expensive to get good magic gear than it is to get good melee gear. However, players with sufficient money for high-level gear like an Abyssal Vine Whip will get much faster kills with melee. The good thing about kill the Ice Queen is that you can bank between kills, so you don't have to rely on a single inventory of food to camp this boss. The low hitpoints and defense of the Ice Queen means that you don't need to worry too much about maximizing your offensive bonuses, so you might as well get decent defensive gear.

The best familiar to use here is a bunyip, as the healing power of the bunyip will not only save you food, but also reduce the amount of time you have to spend eating rather than killing, thereby slightly speeding up your kills.

Here is the best gear to use in each gear slot for magic:

Head: Trickster Helm > Battle-Mage Helm > Virtus Mask > Farseer Helm > Infinity Hat

Torso: Trickster Robe > Battle-Mage Top > Virtus Robe Top > Infinity Robe Top

Legs: Trickster Robe Legs > Battle-Mage Robe Legs > Virtus Robe Legs > Infinity Robe skirt

Gloves: Trickster Gloves > Battle-Mage Gloves > Barrows Gloves > Infinity Gloves

Boots: Ragefire Boots > Infinity Boots > Trickster Boots > Battle-Mage Boots

Amulet: Arcane Stream Necklace > Arcane Blast Necklace > Amulet of Fury > Blood Necklace > Amulet of Glory

Ring: Seers' Ring (i) > Onyx Ring (i) > Seers' Ring

Cape: Completionist Cape > God Cape > Max Cape > TokHaar-Kal (Kiln Cape) > Ardougne Cloak

Offhand: Divine Spirit Shield > Arcane Spirit Shield > Farseer Kiteshield > Elysian Spirit Shield > Spectral Spirit Shield

Weapon: Staff of Light > Chaotic Staff > Master Wand > Ancient Staff

Here is the best gear to use in each gear slot for melee:

Head: Battle-Mage Helm > Torva Full Helm > Vanguard Helm > Helm of Neitiznot > Berserker Helm

Torso: Battle-Mage Top > Torva Platebody > Vanguard Body > Bandos Chestplate > Fighter Torso

Legs: Battle-Mage Robe Legs > Torva Platelegs > Vanguard Legs > Bandos Tassets > Dragon Platelegs

Gloves: Barrows Gloves > Battle-Mage Gloves > Vanguard Gloves

Boots: Steadfast Boots > Battle-Mage Boots > Vanguard Boots > Dragon Boots

Amulet: Blood Necklace > Amulet of Fury > Amulet of Glory

Ring: Onyx Ring (i) > Berserker Ring (i) > Eye of the Warrior > Warrior Ring (i) > Berserker Ring > Warrior Ring

Cape: Completionist Cape > TokHaar-Kal (Kiln Cape) > Max Cape > Fire Cape > Ardougne Cloak 4

Offhand: Divine Spirit Shield > Elysian Spirit Shield > Flameburst Defender > Dragon Defender > Dragonfire Shield

Weapon: Abyssal Vine Whip > Lava Whip > Bandos Whip > Abyssal Whip

Spec Weapon: Dragon Claws > Dragon Dagger

Inventory setup

Your inventory setup will depend on your combat style and level of gear. It is very easy to teleport out and bank between kills as you do not lose the kill count that is needed to enter the portal, so having a perfectly optimized inventory setup is not hugely important. However, a good inventory will make it easier to get kills without constantly having to teleport out and bank.

Location

Step 1: Teleport to "Tarn & Ice Queen" under the "Bosses" teleport option

Tips and tricks

Keeping your prayer high

The Ice Queen has a nasty habit of rapidly draining your prayer, making you more vulnerable to her attacks. You can partially counteract this by knowing when to drink a new dose of prayer potion. When your prayer is drained to zero, it does not immediately turn off; instead, you have a few seconds in which you can drink a dose of prayer potion and prevent your prayer from ever turning off. You can exploit this to save yourself a bit of prayer by only drinking when absolutely necessary. Additionally, if you are at 10 prayer and an Ice Queen attack would have drained 40 prayer, the other 30 points of drain will never occur.

Valiantly running away

If you start to get overwhelmed by the Ice Queens attacks and you are in imminent danger of dying, keep in mind that there are numerous safespots in the Ice Queen dungeon. The quickest way to get safe is generally to hide behind one of the rocks in the area. You can also simply run far to the south, beyond their range of attack.

Drops

The Ice Queen boasts surprisingly good drops and very high drop rates, particularly given how fast they are to kill. Although none of the drops are individually very valuable, they quickly add up over time. The drops, along with estimated drop rates, are listed in the table below:
