Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weaknesses: Dimeritium Bomb, Igni Sign
• Resistances: None
• Vulnerabilities: Necrophage Oil

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Drowner Queen will primarily use its melee attacks and summon smaller drowners. Focus on dodging its lunges and using Igni to damage it and clear out the adds.
2. Phase 2: The Drowner Queen becomes more aggressive, introducing a powerful AoE attack that covers a large area. Use Quen for protection and keep your distance when it prepares this attack.
3. Phase 3: In its final phase, the Drowner Queen will enrage, increasing its attack speed and damage. Use Dimeritium Bombs to disrupt its magical abilities and continue to exploit its weaknesses with Igni and Necrophage Oil.

Strategy:

• Maintain a safe distance when possible and use Geralt's crossbow to chip away at the Queen's health.
• Prioritize dodging its attacks over blocking, as many of its attacks are unblockable.
• Use the Igni sign frequently to deal damage and set the Queen ablaze, interrupting its attacks.
• Deploy Dimeritium Bombs when the Queen is preparing its AoE attack or when you need to create an opening.
• Keep an eye on your stamina and health, and use potions and food as needed.
• Don't forget to apply Necrophage Oil to your silver sword for increased damage.
