The Chaos Elemental is the 14th most powerful monster with a combat level of 305 and 2500 life points. It used to be the strongest monster in the Wilderness, overtaking the King Black Dragon, which held the title for 4 years. The Chaos Elemental held the title for another 2 years and 7 months before the introduction of the Corporeal Beast. It is currently the most powerful non-quest monster in the Wilderness.

The Chaos Elemental is almost always hunted in groups because of its dangerous location, and it is coveted for the dragon 2h sword it drops, which sells at 956,244 coins. It can also drop Ancient Warrior's equipment and ancient artefacts. However, it is possible for a player to kill the Chaos Elemental by him or herself if that player has a reasonably high combat level.

On 1 February 2011, the Chaos Elemental received a graphical update. Prior to this update, it resembled a dark cloud with six tentacles and a lavender tint.

Contents

LocationEdit

The Chaos Elemental dwells in the members-only section of the Wilderness, just west of the Rogue's Castle. This area is moderately easy to access from the deep Wilderness teleport lever in Ardougne or Edgeville. A Wilderness Obelisk can randomly teleport players southeast of the Rogue's Castle.

AttacksEdit

The different attack types
Fighting the Chaos Elemental with Melee.

The Chaos Elemental's primary attack, a magic attack, is a series of different colours fired at the target. It also has a ranged attack and a far reaching melee attack that looks exactly the same. They hit a maximum of 284, but it is still suggested that you use Protect from Magic to reduce the chance of being hit, as it uses its magic attacks most frequently.

It also has two special attacks. The first one teleports players a short space or several spaces away from it. The second attack unequips items that players are wielding, forcing them to take time to re-equip their armour and weapons before continuing the battle.

StrategyEdit

WARNING! Other players may attack you in the Wilderness. Do not bring items you do not want to risk losing.

A useful tactic which can be used against the Chaos Elemental is to fill up your inventory with summer pie or Juju gumbo. These items are not only useful as food, because they leave an empty dish or vial in your inventory when consumed, preventing the Chaos Elemental from unequipping your items (as long as your inventory is full); summer pies are also highly recommended. A cheap version of this is using sack of vegetables. This tactic also works with potions, which leave empty vials when all the doses are taken. However, this gives the Chaos Elemental a chance to use a teleportation or offensive attack in return, so some players leave just one inventory space open so it does not focus on offensive spells. A common belief is that the Chaos Elemental will make the player drop their weapon if their inventory is full, which is not true.

It is also very useful to bring several dreadnips, as they hit fairly often and up to 550. They also poison the monster starting at 108. When the Chaos Elemental teleports you away, the dreadnip might flee, but you can freely summon another one.

Another tip is to put auto retaliate on and always keep a menu up with the option to attack the Chaos Elemental, so when you get teleported, you can just click to attack the Chaos Elemental and quickly rejoin the fight.

Unlike some other boss monsters, surrounding the monster only has a moderate use because it has the ability to teleport players around. However, it still has to take time to turn and attack or teleport each individual player. When 2 players stand beside each other facing it, it fires 2 magic attacks at the same time. Therefore, surrounding the monster can be useful.

A Crystal bow or Zaryte bow is preferred when ranging. Not only does it prevent you from losing arrows upon death, but it allows you to attack from a great distance. It's especially useful after being teleported because it can shoot from long range, even on rapid fire. This nullifies the Chaos Elemental's melee attack and makes dragonhide armour the best choice, since dragonhide is useful against potential far-casters as well.

Another tip is that if you are meleeing or maging, having one or more arrows in your equipment menu can be useful; unequip them to take up a space in your inventory to counter the Chaos Elemental's unequipping attack.

A very good idea is to get several sacks of Cabbages, Potatoes, Onions, baskets of Strawberries or Tomatoes, and empty them to keep your inventory full as well as providing you with a small amount of food.

Another useful tactic for countering the Chaos Elemental's unequipping attack is to bring the best runecrafting pouch you can use and make sure the pouch is full. Right-click it and select "Empty pouch" whenever you lose a slot. If you die, however, you will always lose this item as it is an item not kept on death.

The Chaos Elemental dies.

Recommended stats to solo the Chaos Elemental are 80+ Attack, 80+ Strength, 80+ Ranged (if using range), 60+ Defence and 50+ Magic, while 37 Prayer is a must. Ancient curses seem to be very useful against him. The Chaos Elemental can easily be fought alone with a Dwarf multicannon. Set up the cannon outside the west wall of the Rogue's Castle and click fire. Afterwards, run inside the castle wall and allow the cannon to do all the work. The Chaos Elemental typically requires 100 cannonballs to kill, so you will either need to refill the cannon at some point or duo using two cannons. This method is practically 100% safe, as damage is only taken during refills. In between kills, pick up and replace your cannon to avoid degradation. Whilst refilling your cannon it would also be helpful to activate the "Protect From Magic" Prayer (Level 37). NOTE: Your cannon can attack other players familiars, it is not recommended you risk a lot because you can become skulled fairly easy.

If you are fighting the Chaos Elemental in or around the Rogues Castle, and you need to escape simply enter the castle and climb the stairs. You will instantly be safe as the upper level of the Rogues Castle is disconnected from the rest of the world and is its own area, therefore disallowing the Elemental Chaos to attack you any longer.

Inventory Edit

Other Edit

Summer pies or Wild pies are recommended as food, since normal food, such as sharks or monkfish, is not suggested as it leaves empty space when eaten, which leaves the Elemental free to disarm you. This can be countered by bringing a BoB familiar which can carry food or something worthless to refill your inventory after eating it.

Going in a team is advisable (although it can be easily soloed) since the Chaos Elemental can teleport or disarm a single opponent multiple times if it only has one target, distracting the player from the fight. It can be soloed by poisoning it and waiting inside the castle wall while running out to refresh the poison every few minutes, although this takes around fifteen minutes. A powerful summoning familiar with a strong ranged or magic attack is helpful. If players do not mind dying, a powerful weapon such as a Chaotic rapier can be used along with two other pieces of armour. They can quickly get back to the Elemental as players killed in the Wilderness always respawn at Edgeville, and the lever to the Deserted keep is not too far away from the respawn location.

DropsEdit

As of 1 February 2011, the drops from the Chaos Elemental have been improved, as he now drops Ancient Warriors' Equipment and Ancient artefacts in addition to previous drops.

Rare drop table dropsEdit

This monster drops items from the rare drop table; the ring of wealth will improve the chances if equipped.

LettersEdit

The Chaos Elemental's letters in Postbag from the hedge hint at forthcoming updates, in a rather cryptic manner.

TriviaEdit

  • It is the only major "boss" monster that does not exist in its own "area" or "arena" (Dagannoth kings live in their cave, Kalphite Queen lives in her lair, etc.). Though, the Wilderness could be viewed as quite chaotic at times.
  • The examine information of the Chaos Elemental, pUre A cHaOs of crEatuRe!, reflects its chaotic nature. A grammatically correct examine would be "A creature of pure chaos." The chaotic nature of the examine text is also symbolised by the alternating between upper and lower case.
  • In Postbag from the Hedge #39, Reldo states that the Chaos Elemental is related to the Balance Elemental by some means.[1]
  • In Postbag from the Hedge #41, Postie Pete went through the Chaos Elemental's suitcase and found it to be full of paper. He had previously asked the elemental's actual name, and although the Chaos Elemental teleported, the words on the scraps of paper either underlined or circle with red spell the phrase 'Is Eondethwleaos' when reversed.
  • After killing the Chaos Elemental, your adventurer's log will say "I killed the cHaOs EleMeNTal." Which is like the examine text, as it alternates between upper and lower case. After Jagex's Runescape website was updated, this is was no longer visible. However, due to a hidden update, it is now possible to view one's adventurer's log.
  • It is possible for the Chaos elemental to deal two hits. A player must be teleported and then must click on the Chaos elemetal, which will then cause the Chaos elemental to attack with melee from a distance then following up with another random attack. This might be a glitch, as only dragons are capable of doing this with their dragonfire and melee attacks.
  • Killing more then one Chaos elemental will result in the Adventurer's log saying "I killed # Chaos Elementals."
  • When the Chaos elemental is defeated, it freezes up (stops moving) for a second or so before blowing up. This might be a glitch as other monsters do not pause up before dying unless you were to attack them after they stopped attacking you.
  • Despite being able to drop the PvP armours and weapons, it seems as though most revenants have a better chance of dropping artefacts and PvP equipment than the Chaos elemental.
