The Hanged Queen

The Hanged Queen is the fourth boss in Thymesia. She can be found in the Royal Garden. The former Queen is "Experiment No.1" as written in the alchemist notes, resulting from an equal mixture of Pure and Vile Blood. She used to rest beneath the Royal Gardens until an earthquake unearthed her.
__TOC__
== Behavior ==
The Hanged Queen is the largest boss that you can confront directly (unlike the likes of the God of the Fools), and has a lot of blind spots to exploit. She only has one phase, but it's going to be a very long one due to her healing ability.
Her standard attack involves a slam and drag using one of her wings, and it's easily parried or avoided by dashing away. The size of the Queen means that dashing to the side still lets you be within melee range, giving you the window to get extra hits in while she turns to face you.
Her second basic attack is a one- or two-hit bite attack, but it has limited range and can be evaded. Her third attack sees her take to the skies before slamming down on you. If you keep your distance too much, she can unleash a scream that knocks you down, or charge at you.
Her ultimate scream attack sees her take into the skies and flash red. If Corvus is too close, he will be stunned by the scream before taking a large amount of damage.
Every now and then, she'll leap back and start ingesting blood off the ground and begin healing. This is what punishes an overly defensive playstyle as she would heal faster than you can damage her. Make sure to use upgraded Claw attacks to take away the Wounds you're inflicting to limit her net health gain. She won't be attacking you for its duration and it's the perfect opportunity to go all-in on offense. Healing phase can be interrupted by casting Plague Miasma.
Keep up the offensive pressure and the Hanged Queen will go down very easily.
