The Queen

The Queen is an alternative final boss to the game. She resides in the Crown at the top of the Lighthouse. She is exclusive to the Queen and the Sea DLC.

Moveset
In 1+ BSC, the Queen goes straight to the second phase.

Movement
The Queen can slide forwards and backwards to close distance or back away from the players attack.

Primary attacks
How to defend against attacks.

Forward stab, forward lower stab, two handed forward stab and slash
 * These are basic one hit attacks that can be easily dodged by rolling through or out of reach, jumping over them or be parried.
 * Can be chained in quick succession in random order and amount.
 * Can be done right after the Queen moves towards or away from the player.

Reality rend
 * Wait until a blue line appears and move out of it by walking or jumping. Do this for each line.
 * Gets harder for reality rend X10 but still possible with minimum movement and luck.
 * For reality rend maximum just wait and roll as it's simply one attack with an enormous range.
 * This is a great time to bring out any pets or turrets as she will be immobile and defenceless during this attack.
 * Ranged and melee attacking can be done as well but is riskier.

Fire tornado
 * Roll behind the Queen as she will fire the tornado in front of her.
 * Tornado can be rolled through and even parried.

Fire wave
 * Can be rolled through but safest option is to jump over it.

Fire sword
 * Can be easily dodged by rolling or parrying.

Fire stab
 * Can be easily dodged by rolling through or behind her, jumping over the attack or be parried.

Grab and throw
 * Move out of her grasps range.

Vulnerabilities
Weapons and skill that move you quickly or give invincibility frames will help you from taking too much damage. Her attacks have a long range but are slow enough to be avoided by dodging or having invincibility frames (Meat Skewer, Assault Shield, Force Shield, Telluric Shock, ect...).

Weapons/Skills

 * The and  will move you out of the way of most of her attacks before they reach you or give you a long parry time, allowing you to continuously attack with little risk of damage.
 * is an easy way to get behind her when she does almost all of her attacks.
 * Turrets can be used for damage and even distraction as she can take time to destroy them opening her for free attacks.
 * Most attacks are close range and rely on her ability to close distance quickly. Any item that can lock her in place like or  will prevent this.
 * Grenades are a great option even with her ability to block them as it requires specific timings/angles.

Lore
Not much is known about the Queen, or what relationship she held with the King before the Malaise; she owned the shrines, which contained vaults filled with treasure and led the Pagans. It would be assumed, that she and the Royal Gardener had a close relationship before the Malaise. This is evident by various notes left by the gardener such as: seeking help from the pagans and attempting to reach the lighthouse where she resided. Although he did not succeed as he was transformed into Scarecrow.

Like the Beheaded, the Queen was turned into homunculus with the exception of having three marks on her ‘head’, compared to beheaded having just one and a halo. She made into a homunculus by the Apostates within the undying shores. Their reasoning for turning her is currently unknown.

First meeting

 * "Here comes the interloper. After all the Malaise has done to the kingdom, you should realize that we cannot allow anything to leave the island. But I guess you're beyond reasoning now."
 * "I'm sorry, but I have to stop this folly right here, right now. Know that I won't take any pleasure in killing you."

Shielding

 * "Enough with this!"
 * "Stop hiding!"
 * "Try parrying this..."
 * "Fight for real now!"

Taunts

 * "Is that all you got?"
 * "Hey, you left your liver here."
 * "Pathetic..."
 * "Run away. Now."
 * "Shall I send you back?"

Queen falls in the void

 * "Stop that!"
 * "You'll pay for that!"
 * "That was not pleasant."
 * "What a clever use of your environment, you should be proud."

Premature dead
The Queen reacting to first death before reviving the Beheaded.
 * "Oh no you don't!"

After the Queen recovered the Beheaded's corpse and is about to revive him.
 * "I'm not done with you."

After the Queen revived the Beheaded:
 * "Now fight. For real, this time."

When defeated

 * "I guess... the die is cast then..."

Second meeting

 * "You again... so stubborn."
 * "En garde!"
