Queen's Knight is a boss who wields a shield and a sword. His attacks have great range. Also, some are very fast and dangerous. He telegraphs them by glowing red for a brief moment. He can quickly move a long distance and perform a piercing attack.

In the first phase, the boss will mostly stay close to you, performing attacks at a close range. He mainly performs a 2-hit attack. However, if at the moment of dodging you are still in front of him, the boss will perform the 3rd attack with the shield. Try to get behind him as often as possible. He usually performs one attack after another, so roll often. One of his most dangerous and difficult to dodge moves is his shield attack combined with a 360 degrees spin. You have two options to avoid this move. Either quickly roll back twice, or perform one perfectly timed dodge. The perfect moment to dodge this attack is when the boss is already starting to spin with the shield. Queen's Knight can also perform a backward jump while swinging the weapon and blocking attacks with the shield. Watch out for this move because when you hit his shield as he puts it in front of him, the boss will make a parry and deal you a lot of damage. If you get parried, block instead of dodging. When he charges right at you, roll straight, towards the boss. The point is to feel the right moment - when you see him glowing red and pointing the weapon at you, dodge when he charges at you. Be careful though, because if you are far away from him, he might end up the charge exactly in the same place where you stood - this will deal you more damage.

In the second phase, the boss is even more aggressive. Usually, he starts with the attack where he surrounds himself with red mist, disappears and appears in front of you instantly. When you see him falling on the ground, dodge to the side or straight. In this phase, the boss will very often disappear and use new moves. He can disappear leaving behind a red mist - after this move, he can follow up with 3 other attacks.

When he appears in the air, he will perform the attack from the beginning of the second phase. If he disappears while dashing backward, he will perform a quick slash. He also has a third option - Queen's Knight appears high in the sky, lands in the middle of the arena and creates a cross on the arena. After a while, this sign explodes in blood. Don't stand in it when you see this attack - perform two quick rolls to the side.

His most common combination - attacking from the air, teleporting behind your back to perform a quick slash and then attacking with the sign resembling a cross. These moves are performed one after another so be prepared to dodge fast. However, this doesn't mean that the boss won't choose a different order, or will use only 2 moves.
