roach queen are you serioius with this???
i am so tired now this is so impossible i know you need to crack a quartz but since the ♥♥♥♥♥ knows exactly where you are whatever you do she knows where you are and just constantly bombards you. i so far only managed to crack 1 ♥♥♥♥ing quartz and that is because the whip didnt do anything to styx that time.

i have tried to use a clone but the bombardments are constant on styx even when i try to lure the ♥♥♥♥er to the other side of the room but it dont work since she keeps bombarding me and can kill the clone without letting up the bombardment so HOW THE ♥♥♥♥ DO YOU DO THIS????????? also thank you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game for letting me save at al during this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss fight

no big deal for me on normal difficulty. just waited for the pauses between her attacks and ran from cover to cover. also try to use your invisibility skill.

but she hits you even in cover with those green blobs
anyway i actually managed to make it and probably break the keyboard in just frustration and rage after around 50 tries

TIMING is key. If you time your movement and your action just right, she will either miss you entirely or just get a slight graze on you.

the pukes are easy to avoid but the constant barrage of green blobs is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Reagarding that. Close the distance. She stops using her acid grenades if you are close enough. Then she resorts to her whip attacks or the acid beam, both whom are alot easier to dodge.

I did on like 3rd try on Goblin difficulty, it was pretty easy just use cover, run don't wait for her to aim at you, and dodge the spiky tentacle before it hits you so you have time to crack the crystal. Acid womit is really easy to avoid. invisibility also helps a lot here.

just run really close to her right at the begining, never stop. then u just have top deal wit its arms and her poisionous stream attack. use the short breaks between her attacks to run from cover to cover and break the cristals. at the lower cristals, she just uses her arms. so u have to lure her stitch-attacks, while u are on a grill(grid?). she gets stuck and u can break on of the cristal.

Pretty easy it is not. Sure, once you figure out how to avoid the queen's attacks and time your runs at the crystals it's not hard to beat her but it's definitely not 'pretty easy'. When the queen spews her poisonous bubbles you can hardly see anything because everything around you becomes a green mist. I have fallen several times because I couldn't see I was standing on an edge. Besides they have placed a guard there and for players like myself who are doing Mercy + Shadow playthrough the presence of that guard makes the things even harder.

So, yeah, it's doable but it's an annoying battle. I'm gonna give them a negative review because of that battle.

Yep, that one is out of the game normal run, not hard or impossibla, jut not fitting into this sneaking type game.

The boss is easy as heck. If you just keep running forward to get to the bottom two crystals the blobs can't keep up.

Or you use a clone, and distract the queen and attack 2 different crystals easily

I had trouble with it too, and received some tips here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/355790/discussions/1/133259855833955907/
