[[Defeat the Karka Queen threatening the settlements]] is a level-80 [[group event]] that can occur in [[Driftglass Springs]] or [[Southsun Shoals]].

== Walkthrough ==
The Karka Queen will randomly spawn near any of these four locations: [[Pride Point Waypoint]], [[Kiel's Outpost Waypoint]], [[Steampipe Steading]], or [[Camp Karka Waypoint]]. Players typically wait south of [[Steampipe Steading]] since the other three spawn points have waypoints nearby.

During the fight, the Karka Queen gains extremely high damage reduction due to the [[Armored (Legendary Karka Queen)|Armored]] effect. The stacks must be removed by throwing the Karka Eggs that periodically spawn in the area at her so that she can be killed before the event time limit runs out. She will occasionally regain 15 stacks of the buff.

* [[Karka Hatchling]]

== Trivia ==
* Completing the event historically unlocked the [[Secret of Southsun#Crazed Karka Queen Killer|Crazed Karka Queen Killer]] achievement.
* The open-world chest reward was originally limited to once per day per character. [[Game updates/2013-06-11|The June 11th, 2013 update]] removed this limit, allowing players to obtain the bonus award as often as the queen was killed, to encourage completion of the event. In February 2014, purportedly in response to abuse of this mechanic, this was changed again to its current limit of once per day per account. {{Citation needed|two requested: one confirming the reason that the reward was increased beyond that of other world bosses and another confirming the date — and reason — of the so-called stealth change so that the reward is now less than that of other world bosses}}
* The title "Killer Queen" gained from the achievement is a direct reference to the rock band [[wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]] and their [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZBtPf7FOoM song] by the same name.
