Watch Out for the Many Ground Effects

The Queen of Filth fight features many on ground effects that both damage and debilitates your character. Always watch out for the orange spores that explode when you walk on top of them and the Caustic Ground that deals Chaos damage. There are also Curses that Slows you, decreases your Armor, and one that decreases the damage you deal.

Defeat the Smaller Enemies

Flathead Clubbers, Flathead Warriors, Hunchback Clubbers, and Flathead Younglings spawn during the fight to aid the Queen of Filth. If you ignore these enemies, you might get surrounded and overwhelmed! Make sure to quickly defeat them before focusing back on the main boss.

Watch for Overhead Swing Animation

The Queen of Filth often starts her attacks by raising her weapon overhead. Though the animation has subtle differences depending on whether it's a charging attack, AoE ground slam, or projectile attack, they all start with the boss raising their weapon overhead. Once you see this animation, quickly dodge to the side or away from the boss to avoid taking damage.
