Learn the Queen of Smiles weaknesses, attacks, and strategies in Salt and Sanctuary. Includes tips for melee, ranged, and caster builds.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prepare your equipment and any necessary items. Your character level is recommended to be around 18.
  2. 2
    The Queen of Smiles has two primary weaknesses: Holy (primary) and Arcane (secondary).
  3. 3
    Lunge Attack: The Queen charges with two swords aimed at the ground. Avoid by blocking, being out of range, or attempting a difficult jump over the swords as they thrust down. Rolling behind her or jumping over her during the charge is not recommended.
  4. 4
    Radial Swords Attack: Swords surround the Queen and project outwards. Avoid by blocking or standing still, as the swords travel in straight lines. Some randomness in their initial placement can make avoidance difficult, but this is rare.
  5. 5
    Impale/Upward Slice Attack: The Queen jabs a sword into the ground, often followed by an upward slice. Avoid by blocking or rolling through and away from her.
  6. 6
    Blade Dance Attack: The Queen charges while spinning her swords. Avoid by blocking or rolling through her in the opposite direction of her movement.

Strategy:

  • Melee: The Queen becomes very aggressive at lower health. Fighting at maximum distance is advantageous as she can become less intelligent. Consider using a Bow and enchanting your weapon with Holy damage using Blessed Pages (or Stained Pages for Arcane damage if Blessed Pages run out). Keep your distance and dodge as needed, being mindful of enchantments wearing off. Blocking all her attacks with a Teuthis Shield (100% Strike and Slash Resistance) can make the fight trivial. Practice Stamina management by blocking and releasing to regenerate. You can melee her initially, but stop around 50% health due to her enrage.
  • Caster: At maximum distance, the Queen is often less responsive. Spamming spells like Lightning Bolt can be effective.
