The Cockroach Queen
Prepare your hotbar before entering theCockroach Queen’s Roomon the third level of the Command Center. Make sure one of those items is theMintito Smoothieto drink during combat. The Queen won’t attack until you step fully inside the doorway. You can use this time to lure her out withspearsorarrowsto gain her agro. Once she comes out, circle around her and attack while making your way into the larger space while avoiding her first acid splash attack.
Her acid causessizzle build up, and she uses this attack every four attacks or so. Her other attacks involve slamming her whole body down to the ground in a small radius effect, kite backwards once you see her antennae shoot up as her body will go down in a few seconds after. Her other moves involve quick forward bites and evasion tactics to build up another acid attack. When she builds an acid attack, kite to her side and hit her with your weapon before dodging backwards to avoid a ground slam. Remember her resistance is toGas, Fresh, Spicy, and Venom, so any weapons that have those attributes will be reduced to damage her.
Your first phase will end once the Queen’s health depletes completely. However, she will only pause for a moment as she’ll let out a bellow and pop off her own head, causing her main attack to be just the acid spray, which will cover a large portion of the room, so ensure you have the proper armor equipped, and you keep your distance when she isn’t stunned.
You’ll want to aim for her rear for the final portion of her health bar, verify yoursmoothieis in effect and your armor durability is kept up during the fight. Slash and smash the queen’s legs and rear to finally bring her down.
Once you do, theStrangerwill taunt you one final time before inviting you to finish your journey on the final floor to meet her. Now you may harvest the materials from the fallenCockroach Queenand continue your journey up towards the Masked Stranger. The end of the game is near.
