Thymesia, like mostsoulslikes, is quite difficult. With punishing mechanics and limited resources, players really need to understand how to fight every opponent they come up against in order to stay alive. The Hanged Queen isn’t the hardest boss inThymesia, but can still be quite the challenge if players aren’t aware of her tactics.
Players will find The Hanged Queen at the end of The Royal Gardens Zone. She is the second boss (not counting Varg) players will face afterOdur in the Sea of Trees. The Hanged Queen matches The Royal Garden with her monstrous and demonic crystal form, and is fought in a huge arena with pools of blood everywhere. While The Hanged Queen has some cool abilities, like being able to heal in the fight, her attacks are incredibly slow and telegraphed, making her a bit less difficult than Odur.
