{{Redirect3|PQ|For the [[The Void Stares Back]] boss, see [[Pest Queen]]}}
The '''Penance Queen''' is the [[boss]] monster of the [[Barbarian Assault]] [[activity]], as well as ''[[RuneScape|RuneScape's]]'' 26th most powerful monster in [[combat level]], though some believe she is easily as hard as the [[Kalphite Queen]]. She uses [[ranged]] attacks in rapid succession that can easily hit up to 130, and simultaneously strikes all players fighting her. Her melee attack can also hit up to 130, though it isn't that accurate, especially against those with higher [[defence]]. Players may not use protection [[prayer]]s whilst fighting her. She can easily wipe out a whole party of players, especially if there is no cooperation between team members.

Upon defeating her, players will receive 80 Honour Points in their chosen class, as well as 5 points in all other classes. Also, players may now receive trade items from [[Commander Connad]] on the ground floor of the [[Barbarian Assault]] building. Previously, this was not the case.

Since the Queen is located within a "safe" activity, you will not lose any items if you die when fighting her, though you will have to restart the wave.

==Fighting strategy==
[[File:PQueenHits.png|250cpx|thumb|left|Remember, teamwork is vital!]]

Recommended member roles:

* 1 [[Attacker]] (2 if the Healer is level 5 or is skilled)
* 1 [[Defender]]
* 2 [[Healers]](1 if the Healer is level 5, or if all players have high defence a level 1 Healer will also suffice)
* 1 [[Collector]] (preferably with a high [[Defence]] level)

The ''CHAD'' system must be used to defeat her, it goes as follows:

* [[File:Ba wave 10 stuff.png|thumb|223px|A poison pool, lava pool, and spiky mushroom found everywhere along the arena's edges.]]The '''Collector''' gathers '''Yellow eggs''' that the Queen drops. The eggs are passed ("Use" option) to the ''Healer''.
* The '''Healer''' dunks the eggs in the '''poison springs'''. Once done, the eggs are given to the ''Attacker''.
* The '''Attacker''' adds spikes to the eggs from the '''spiked mushrooms'''. The eggs are passed along to the ''Defender''. It is recommended that you collect the spikes before the queen comes, as it will speed up the process of passing the eggs on, and ultimately improves chance of survival.
* The '''Defender''' dunks the eggs in the '''lava craters''', and hands them back to the ''Collector''.
* The '''Collector''' places them in the '''Egg Hopper''', and the Egg Launcher is ready to be fired.

Once the Omega eggs are loaded, any team member can start shooting the Penance Queen. Each hit damages the Queen by about 300+ damage. Keep hitting with Omega eggs until the Queen is killed (this is about 8 eggs).

==Tips==
*[[Barrows - guthan's set|Guthan's armour]] is quite useful for this fight. Players with this set can heal off the [[Queen Spawn]], taking some pressure off the healers.
*It is best for the team to stay near the healing pool, so they can be constantly healed by one of the healers.
*[[Dragonhide armour]] seemed to make no difference from [[Rune armour]] in protecting against her assumed [[Magic]]al attacks, as she can hit constant 130s on either armour, later proven after the Hitsplat Update to be [[Ranged]] attacks. The collector should also have a high [[Defence]] level, as she can also hit up to 130 with her [[melee]] attacks.
*Patience is necessary, as killing the Penance Queen may take a while.
*As with all Barbarian Assault waves, prayer cannot be used.
*Level 5 healers are VERY useful in this wave.
*[[Super strength]] and [[Super attack|attack]] potions can be used by attackers to speed up killing the Penance Rangers and Fighters.

==Trivia==
*The examine text "Run Away! Run Away!" may be a reference to the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
*If [[Vengeance]] is cast it will have no effect on the Penance Queen.
*Before the Hitsplat update, it was assumed her rings were a magical attack. It has now been revealed they are [[Ranged]] attacks.
*It looks as if she has a mouth under the belly.

==Records==
* Strongest team-based [[activity]] monster. [[4 January]], [[2007]] - [[10 February]] [[2009]].
