Elana, Squalid Queen keeps summoning Velstadt impossible to beat

[AlexTRONIC]

should i just give up if she summons Velstadt?

It two bosses at this point

Fighting the dude while she spams her blasts that kill you in 2 shots.

Is my only hope that she summon skeletons?

In general Elana is really easy to dodge, hexes includes (imo of corse), so keep killing Velstadt, he has no much HP and be patient.

What is your build?

Are you in COC or normal?

Are you in NG+?

Are you summoning or solo'ing?

[Call Sign: Raven]

I don’t know your build or equipment, but generally:

Play defensively, and make sure your equip burden is relatively low so you can maneuver better, no more than 40-50% equip burden. Less is better if you can manage it.

DO NOT FIGHT LOCKED ON. Manipulate the camera manually so you can see both of them at all times. This will make dealing with projectiles much easier. Remember, her spells are very slow so use that to your advantage. Turn the music down a little bit so you can hear when she fires, it helps with timing.

If she summons Vestaldt, you have two options, depending on her health bar. If she’s running low, avoid V, and focus on her until she is defeated. Because they are both so aggressive, you must fight patiently and wait for openings. Hit and run tactics work best in that situation.

If you get unlucky and she summons him early in the fight, it’s better to dispatch V first. Same idea as above, fight patiently, do hit and run tactics, don’t hit more than once or twice at a time. Whittle him away slowly.

Run far away from Elana to bait Velstadt, generally she stays far away. If she teleports to you, simply run away again to bait V. When he chases you down, fight him as I described above.

If applicable, make sure your vitality is at least 30, if she is killing you in two hits your HP may be on the low side.

She is relatively easy, now fighting 2 pursuer's at once for the ring of blades+2 without summons is a complete nightmare.

I have tried solo so far,

I have a melee build, my equipment is decent, i use a Scythe with fire imbued upgraded +7
and does a lot of damage to her, Equipment load at < 70%, no slow dodging i dont need to pull up my shield since she is easy to dodge.

I switch to shield and heide's spear +10 when the skeletons show up since the spear swings faster and has a longer reach


I can take them out without lock on so i can keep an eye on the boss's attacks as well.

i got her down to 40% max

Its just when she summons Velstadt, fighting him without lock on is hard, and i if i lock on they both swing at the same time, she teleports behind me and swings, the whole lock on camera messes up

i heard you have to get lucky here and hope rng now summon Veldast?

This really is not impossible, it is just a case of getting good. No amount of advice and videos will help too much if you can't execute it. Just keep trying and you will get it. Everyone has a different recipe for beating her ( I ignore the skeletons and Velstadt and sometimes pigs by dodging) you will eventually beat her. She is an annoying boss.

It’s not impossible, and there’s no luck involved. You just need to get better at the fight.

The closer you are to 70%, the worse you roll. It’s still a fast roll, but the distance gets shortened a lot. Get to 40% equip load and you will roll faster and further. You need mobility during this fight.

Check my above post, the strategies I gave you are perfect for melee builds.

If it’s still too hard, come back later after some more level ups and get your weapons to +10. Use a blunt weapon, the boss is weakest to blunt.

i dunno man, seems that luck is involved in this fight, last time i fought her, she summoned Velstadt 2 times in the 2 times that she used the ability to summon mobs

Yes, that's a random summon. Doesn't mean that it is outside the scope of your skill to beat it, which is why I say there's no luck involved. You just have to know the fight.

As someone else said above, if she's got low health, dodge V.

Get as far from her as possible and kite V, then bait him to swing. While he's swinging, you can go and hit her.

Once he commits to an attack, you get a decent opening

[Enderspoons]

If she summons mini-Velstadt, it's a pretty simple game of avoiding Velstadt at all costs while punishing Elana every chance you get, giving yourself as many opportunities to do so as possible by baiting attacks out of mini-Velstadt. Once you get the hang of it, Velstadt could potentially be even easier to deal with than the skeletons.

The good point of repeating the boss is see Elana summoning piggies xd

[AlexTRONIC]

Beat the boss guys, thanks for the tips, this is what i did

apparently armor doesnt matter at all?, if i put my good armor or be naked the boss is going to kill me in 3 hits regardless, so i wore some stupid silk robes and got that mobility bonus. I also beat the dragon with these silk robes

i used one of the npc Summons, he kept Elana busy whenever she summoned velstadt, so fighting velstadt 1v1 without being bombarded with magic was manageable.
