Conclusion and Credits What is the Chaos Elemental? The Chaos Elemental, or CE for short, is a strange and unique monster that floats in the northern part of the Wilderness. It has a variety of strange attacks which make it a fun and challenging fight. Chaos Elemental Basic Information The bestiary link can be found here: Chaos Elemental Combat Level: 305 Hitpoints: 250 Maximum Hit: 28 The Chaos Elemental uses multi-target Ranged and Magic-based attacks. It also will use two special attacks which will have the following effects: Green Orb Attack: Unequips some of the items you are wielding. It will not do so if you do not have free inventory space. Red Orb Attack: Teleports you to a random location around the Chaos Elemental. In this guide, you will learn ways to deal with these annoying effects. Without taking proper equipment, you may find yourself in a bit of a chaotic situation ;). Minimum and Recommended Levels The following recommendations are by no means a requirement. It depends on your individual ability, and the amount of players participating. Below are some guidelines to take into consideration: The most effective way to hunt the Chaos Elemental is Range, but there are melee alternatives. Minimum Levels (Team, Ranged) 70+ Ranged, Black Dragonhide is almost a must! 50+ Magic, Magic Defense is key to surviving a long time! 60+ Defense, Defense in general is important to deflect some of its hits. 37+ Prayer, Protect from Magic is a must! Recommended Levels (Team, Ranged) 80+ Ranged, This is especially helpful if you will be using Void. 70+ Magic, Magic Defense is key to surviving a long time! 70+ Defense, Defense in general is important to deflect some of its hits. 70+ Prayer, Blessing is a very helpful ability to have in a team. Minimum Levels (Team, Melee) 75+ Attack and Strength, Godswords seem to be very effective weapons against the CE. 50+ Magic, Magic Defense is key to surviving a long time! 60+ Defense, Defense in general is important to deflect some of its hits. 37+ Prayer, Protect from Magic is a must! Recommended Levels (Team, Melee) 80+ Attack and Strength, The more powerful, the better. 70+ Magic, Magic Defense is key to surviving a long time! 70+ Defense, Defense in general is important to deflect some of its hits. 70+ Prayer, Protect from Magic is a must! Of course it is possible with lower levels, but such kills will be extremely slow and a waste of supplies. If you plan to solo the Chaos Elemental, I would suggest 90+ Stats in either Range or Melee, depending on what you use. Equipment and Inventory There are multiple setups for engaging the Chaos Elemental, and the one you use will greatly depend on your team. In a large team, you should consider using Full Void, but in a small team, you should probably take dragonhide. While Karil's and Armadyl work well, it would be quite an expensive loss if you were to die and not be able to recover your items. Rangers should use Ruby Bolts(e) and Diamond Bolts(e). A Godsword is the preferred Melee weapon, for its high accuracy and strength bonuses. Dragonhide Setup This is for beginners or players who do not wish to risk high value gear. If you want to swap out items, remember to emphasize Mage Defense as much as possible. Void Range Setup The Chaos Elemental has decent defense, so an accuracy boost from Void is very helpful. Inventories for Ranged Bring a Ranging Potion, Prayer Potions, Jennica's Ring, a Forinthry Bracelet, and some contained food (i.e. Pies, Brews, Curries). The Games necklace is needed to get to Bounty Hunter, but can be banked later. Take a terrorbird + scrolls for Run Energy, as you will be running around frequently (make sure you still have a filled inventory at all times)! Dragonhide Melee Setup Emphasizing Magic defense! You can swap out the Snakeskin Boots for Dragon Boots, but it adds cost and loss of magic defense. Void Melee Setup Again, the accuracy boost is very helpful versus the CE, but beware of the risk. Inventories for Melee Bring Super Attack and Strength Potions, Prayer Potions, Jennica's Ring, a Forinthry Bracelet, and some contained food (i.e. Pies, Brews, Curries). The Games necklace is needed to get to Bounty Hunter, but can be banked later. Take a terrorbird + scrolls for Run Energy, as you will be running around frequently! The type of food you take to the Chaos Elemental MUST constantly fill your inventory. This is why curries and pies are used, as they leave behind bowls and pie dishes when eaten. The CE's unequipping attack will be negated by doing this! :) Curry heals 19 HP in one bite, while Summer Pies heal 11 per bite (2 bites per pie) and restores some run energy. Getting There Teleport to either Bounty Hunter or Clan Wars, and head to the Wilderness Portal shown in the map. Keep using the Wilderness Portals until you arrive at the Rogue's Castle. If you are ready, run to the green area shown to begin the battle. Killing the Chaos Elemental Below is a comprehensive map showing all aspects of the CE Area. As you can see, there is a standard routine every kill, just like any other boss monster. Legend The large PURPLE DOT shows the spawn point of the Chaos Elemental. The PURPLE LINES show the approximate attack range of the Chaos Elemental. The small RED DOTS show the possible locations you can be teleported to by the Chaos Elemental. The large GREEN SQUARE shows where you should stand while waiting for it to spawn. Here is a detailed look at luring the Chaos Elemental, which can help greatly if you are ambushed by Revenants later: Legend Step 1: Players wait for spawn inside Rogues Castle. Chaos Elemental spawns. Step 2: One player moves out to catch the CE's attention. Chaos Elemental moves along the arrow. Step 3: Player steps behind the tree, safe from attack. Chaos Elemental moves onto tree and is stuck. You are now free to attack when you are ready. To negate a large amount of its hits, you should use Protect from Magic. Having Auto-Retaliate on helps greatly if you are teleported away, as your character will automatically run back to battle. If you are ranging, switch to Diamond Bolts once it is at half health. ALWAYS have Item Protect ON, as you can easily be ambushed by a team of Revenants, leading to a quick death. Watch your health, even the highest level players can easily be killed if not paying attention. If you find yourself in a need to stop temporarily or heal without being damaged, there are a large amount of safe areas around the Chaos Elemental. These include trees, rocks, and the walls of the Rogue Castle. The lure detailed in the previous map is shown below. Apart from that, the fight is fairly straightforward. If you are in a team, spread yourselves out as much as possible so the CE will spin and attack fewer times. This will be difficult since it teleports you around a lot. Attack the CE, and eat when necessary. Never run out of prayer, it could cost you your life! Also note that, like the Kalphite Queen, the CE spawn time is unusually slow, sometimes in the 2-3 minute range! Avoiding Revenants If you are ambushed by a Revenant, I would suggest activating Range Prayer and running along the most appropriate route out of the ones shown here: The blue dot represents the spawn point of the CE, and the red arrows indicate escape routes from that point. The Chaos Elemental can attack over the cliffside in the Scorpion Pit, so keep moving West if you need to get to safety. If you have lured the Chaos Elemental, simply enter the Rogue's Castle and hop worlds (or kill some of the Revenants if you want). Having previously lured the CE is very helpful when ambushed by Revs. If you are teleblocked, equip the forinthry bracelet that you took with you. This will allow you to use the Mage Arena lever, Ardougne Lever, or Wilderness Portals to escape. Another possibility is the use of Spirit World Portals. This is why i recommend wearing Jennica's Ring, as it will allow access to safety. The Ring of Life does not work at this area of the Wild, so it is not recommended, as it is, well, a bit useless :(. The high level Revenants usually make a patrol stop at the Chaos Elemental, so be constantly aware of this possibility! Rewards The big prize from the Chaos Elemental is the Dragon 2H Sword. The Kalphite Queen and the CE are the only monsters that are known to drop it. It has an area of effect Special Attack which will damage adjacent enemies, which can be devastating in multi-combat areas. Below is the drop list from Tip.it. The Chaos Elemental will drop 2 different things per kill. Conclusion and Credits I hope you will find this guide helpful!
