use your clones to take the crystals and trigger the cocoons that release the exploding babies

thanks, I've been trying to release the crystals by hand and with the clone but a spit or two of the acid and game over.

use your invisability to take out the front two crystals then the rest wait behind cover until she has finished the acid spit then destroy them

Good idea Reckless, I'll try it tomorrow.

or just do in the right time, after an attack, you can pop them without taking damage, but using a clone is safer, if you can spend the amber.

Is it just me that cant get the timings down for the clones to break the crystals? I always have to use Styx as he can take the last 2 sec of damage from the Queen.
I used about 2 health potions, as I didnt have the clone reincarnate at the time.

didn't even tried to break crystals by clones, all done by the styx himself, but i've spent 7-10 tries until got a perfect road to eliminate all crystals in a row. Timing between attack is more than enough to break crystal. On the ground ones just wait until tentacle's attack, dodge it by rolling right to the crystal (there is actually placed a cagged floor near crystal, you can bait tentacle to attack at this place and it will stuck for a short time, but you can handle even without it) and roll back right after breaking. Acid balls flying on your trajectory way, so run unpredictable, strafe right and left and you'll be safe. And acid breath? No difficulties with it, just right timing. GL to you

This one is extraordiarily difficult but after maybe 50 tries I got it. You don't need to use the clone unitl after you defeat the queen. I found a clear path to completing this level by moving quickly to the right side of the rock wall.but damn it was difficult. Keep the clone and the amber unitl after the death of the queen. You will need to send in the clone four times thereafter to defeat the robies and then you get to the crystal.
you are an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for having a spoiler in the title. At least ignorant for us players that havent reach that area and an answer to people not wanting to check forums for help cause of things like this.

Its not that hard if you just have good timing. Its mostly a matter of knowing when to move and when to take cover.

However if your really having trouble, here's what I suggest.
Make sure you have the rebirth ability for one, and the Skill that creates delay between activating invisibility and actually using Amber for starters. They can be some of the most effective abilities for this fight.

Anyways, for the crystals on the ground level, spawn a close elsewhere thats in a safe spot. Then rush the crystals, activating invisbility if necessary and destroy them. If you can run away when the boss cries out in pain then do that, but if not, just teleport back to your clone.

You can generally usethis trick throughout most of the fight, but its best saved for the crystals on the ground as for me personally, dodging those tentacles can be the toughest trick to pull off. Hope this helps.

Don't cry you little baby, its not a spoiler. Its not ruining any major story aspects as such, it just tells you where you first encounter a boss fight.

Funny, I can't tell what Ushiri is talking about. What spoiler in what title? Does ushiri have something constructive to say about the topic of this thread?
