Elden Ring: How to defeat Demi-Human Queen Maggie

Demi-Humans can be found in abundance in the Lands Between. As you go around the Limgrave region, you will come across them frequently. They can even be found in dungeons and on beaches. The gigantic Demi-Human Queen Maggie, who lives near the Hermit Village on Mt. Gelmir, is something you might not expect. This Demi-Human has reached great heights and has mastered the use of magic. In Elden Ring, this is how you beat Demi-Human Queen Maggie.

Demi-Human Queen Maggie location

Queen of the Demi-Humans Maggie can be found in Mt. Gelmir's Hermit Village. However, getting it isn't straightforward. Once you've arrived on the Altus Plateau, proceed west to the river near Mt. Gelmir's base. Continue along the river until you arrive at the fort at the end. To get to the magma, go to the left of the fort. Continue along the route to the village on the other side of the magma. The boss can be found on the opposite side of the settlement.

Demi-Human Queen Maggie attacks

Maggie has a couple attacks that if you aren't careful, can be devastating. Despite her knowledge of magic, she rarely employs it, preferring instead to use her staff like a club. Here are the kind of attacks to be aware of.

• Staff slam – Maggie is about to slam her staff on the ground in front of her. This creates an AOE in the area where the staff is hitting.
• Glintstone Shard - Maggie will fire glintstone shards at you if you get too close to her. These aren't overly painful and are rather easy to avoid.
• Crystal Burst – Maggie will use the Crystal Burst spell. If you get entangled in it, the crystals will do a lot of damage to you.
• Swipe – Maggie will swipe with her staff and occasionally her arm. While on Torrent, it's simple to jump over.

How to defeat Demi-Human Queen Maggie

Maggie is a simple enemy to fight, but if you're having problems, grab the Site of Grace behind her. This will save you the trouble of having to ride a long distance to find her again. Maggie begins the battle surrounded by allies who will aid her. You're free to ignore Maggie and focus on the allies. This will save you time in the long run because you won't be bombarded with spells from all sides. You can also conjure a ghost to distract Maggie from her allies while you deal with them.

We recommend taking Maggie on a horseback ride. Torrent will keep you moving and assist you to avoid being hit by Maggie's staff or a spell. Keep an eye on Maggie's back. This will reduce the amount of harm she can cause you. Ranged attacks are likewise safe to use as long as you keep moving. Swift Glintstone Shards are an effective way to defeat her while remaining at a safe distance. Just keep in mind that she can cast magic as well.
