Chaos Witch Quelaag | How to kill a boss Dark Souls Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Description

Quelaag is a beautiful woman. Attached with her upper body to a giant spider. This beast spits lava and is equipped with a large sword - no one can dream about such nightmare.

Attacks and weaknesses

Queelag has following attacks:

1) Lava breath - spider chokes for a moment and then spits lava in front of him. Sometimes he spits at a distance. This attack is harmless, unless you're standing in front of him. Of course lava stays on the arena for some time.

2) Lava stream - spider chokes longer and spits with a huge amount of lava. It is the best moment to attack him from behind.

3) Lava rush - spider can jump towards you, spitting lava. The attack is dangerous because it can surprise you.

4) Lava sideswipe - it is executed when you're on the side. Rarely used.

5) Firesword slash - a quick blow, which can be dodged.

6) Sword combo - a triple attack. The third hit is tricky - Queelag prepares it a bit longer.

7) Firesword stab - Queelag leans forward. It has a long range but it is also prepared long.

8) Explosion - probably most dangerous attack. The woman bends over the spider. It takes 2-3 seconds and then the spider bursts with an energy beam. Once you see Queelag bending to her spider part, move back to the long distance.

Tips

1) Watch out for lava - lava inflicts a lot of damage. So you should fight in places without lava. After time lava disappears.

2) Do not get stuck on legs - if you're close to the spider, try not to go under him. When you'll try to run away, you might get stuck between his legs.

3) Attack when the spider spits lava - this is the best moment to attack. In other situations try to defend against sword swings.

Tactics

You need much patience and skill in this fight. The task is easy: you have to wait until the spider start spitting lava. At this moment you can "apply" him several hits from behind.

You have to watch out for sword swings - you can dodge them, block them or just retreat.

It is also important to fight in places without lava.
