Thymesia - How To Defeat The Hanged Queen
Thymesia opened with a killer hand. You get murdered by the first boss, Varg, then you are expected to overcome the ludicrously difficult Odur after battling through this game’s interpretation of Blight Town. With a double whammy this strong, you’d be forgiven if you thought the next boss, The Hanged Queen, was going to be equally as nightmarish.

Thankfully, The Hanged Queen is more of a gimmick boss, and as a result, overcoming her is noticeably easier than in the previous two bouts. Easier, not easy, mind you. The Hanged Queen has a few tricks up her bewinged sleeves, and she is more than capable of clapping you if you aren’t prepared for them.
The Hanged Queen is the final hurdle you have to cross in the Royal Garden’s area of Thymesia. This area is as warped and twisted as any area you’ve visited before, but instead of a greenish plague tint, there is a distinct red crystalline hue. Oh, and blood - lots of blood.
This all plays into The Hanged Queen’s aesthetics, of course. What other creature but a house-sized bat would relish the opportunity to gorge themselves on the fountains of blood, and rivers of viscera? As is usually the case with Soulslikes, however, the bigger the enemy, the easier they are to overcome.
The Hanged Queen, unlike Odur, has only one phase. This phase tends to be rather prolonged due to her unique mechanics and interesting battle arena. This is counterbalanced by her fairly easy-to-understand and read attacks. She plays like a boss’s introductory phase but dies before they get the chance to show off their true power.
