Preparation
Before giving the third spirit to the queen to initiate the boss fight, you can regen in the high-regen room. The boss room itself is in CPK. After initially aggroing, the boss can be calmed and spelled up. She doesn't seem to have good regen and can be debuffed with faerie fire, curse, plague, poison, etc. This will be advantageous for your fight (though with a group of 3-4, the fight doesn't typically take too long).
Encounter
A well-geared 120 should be able to tank the Queen without much issue. The larger problem is that true to her nature, Queen Hetepheres II will cast various witch and non-witch spells, including leech, extinction, and other nukes, which randomly target formation members. Calm if needed to top off formation members before re-engaging with the boss. Calm mixes would be very helpful in this scenario if you have a ranger or monk.

You focus your powers of observation on a long witch's robe:

This seems to be a fancy silk robe, but when compared to the other artifacts
found in this pyramid, it is just a plain robe with no embroidery. It is
the burial robe of a powerful witch, and you can still feel the faint magic
aura that once infused it. Even with its power weakened, you can still feel
knowledge rushing into your soul, but also a strange bitterness and
discomfort. You wonder how long you can wear this robe before you have to
take it off for good.

There is nothing functionally distinctive about these sandals- the only
indication they belong to royalty is the regal purple dye imprinted onto the
heel.

This is a pair of silk gloves, beautifully embroidered with many different
types of jewels. Soft to the touch, these gloves undoubtedly once belonged
to a high-ranking female, and a very rich one also. Magic surges through
your body for a short while as you put on these gloves, letting you wonder
if these gloves hold more power that you could not activate.

You focus your powers of observation on a twenty-four carat gold nugget:
Item 'a twenty-four carat gold nugget' is type treasure, alignment -275, made of gold (in (new)
condition),[Study][LTB]
has keywords 'precious pure gold nugget carats'.
This item weighs 0 stones and 78 pebbles, and is valued at 6,000 gold. {Cat. 2}
This level 120 item has the attributes: no-sac no-auction nohide no-mimic nochange no-save no-r
ent no-steal unlockerable
*This item may be repaired 3 times.
You cannot believe your luck as you examine a nugget that is made from pure
gold. With no doubt, this single nugget could make anyone rich if you sell
it to the right buyer. A yellowish glow emits from this nugget that gives
you great discomfort if it touches bare skin for a long time. Perhaps it
has some other purpose that you don't know about nor want to find out.
