How to Defeat the Demi-Human Queen in Elden Ring

Elden Ring is full of optional bosses for players to take on during their journey to become Elden Lord. One of these bosses, the Demi-Human Queen, can be encountered decently early in the game and gives players a nice reward for her defeat.

Players can defeat the Demi-Human Queen early in the game as her attacks aren't as powerful as some of the other bosses in the game. When encountered, she will be surrounded by several other enemies (smaller demi-humans) that will rush and attack players entering the area. A great way to beat this boss is by focusing on her while avoiding attacks from the smaller enemies. The smaller enemies will become pacified when the boss is defeated and won't attack players.

The Demi-Human Queen attacks players with massive, sweeping strikes and employs the Crystal Burst spell. This spell is not great for accuracy and can be easily dodged. This boss' attacks can easily be avoided, but attacking from a distance is preferable if players use ranged attacks.

Where do you find the Demi-Human Queen?

The Demi-Human Queen can be found in the Weeping Peninsula region of the map. This area lies just south of the Limgrave starting location. The Queen resides in the Demi-Human Forest Ruins to the north of the area's minor Erdtree.

What does the Demi-Human Queen drop?

The Demi-Human Queen drops the Demi-Human Queen's Staff. This is one of the best early-game weapons for magic-wielding players, especially Astrologers. This weapon is worth grabbing near the start of the game or when players feel comfortable enough to take on the Queen.
