The Queen (Cuphead)

The Queen moves around in the background, summoning a stack of lion statues that quickly move across the arena by smashing her sceptre on the ground. Parrying them will end the attack. Hitpoints = 8 After a hit, she can start attacking by taking out two delicate, wig-wearing Fabergé eggs that rain down smaller Fabergé eggs onto the arena. Hitpoints = 48 After the sixth hit, a new phase commences; the Queen now rains down gem stones for a significantly longer period of time. Hitpoints = 24

In order to damage the Queen, the player(s) must parry the fuse of the nearby cannons to shoot cannonballs at her. Only the cannon with the lit fuse will only shoot out the cannonballs. The cannons also will move so you must wait for the right time to fire the cannon, otherwise you will miss the shot. The Queen only takes damage if she gets shot in the face. Hitting any other part of her body counts as missing her.

Once defeated, the Queen collapses as she summons a fainting couch to cushion her fall. Upon landing, her head falls off her body and spins at the end of her scepter as the mice celebrate.

The Queen goes down in eight hits in single-player mode and ten in co-op mode.

Look: 👇 The Queen has a red and blue long-sleeved dress patterned with diamonds. She also has yellow skin and a floating head and lanky arms with a scepter with blue and pink jewels on the top. She wears lipstick, diamond earrings, a pair of red shoes, and a royal crown with the same blue and pink jewels on her scepter. Her ruffle collar, crown and the tall cylindrical body make her look like a queen chess piece. She looms over the battlefield in the background.

The mice who are manning the cannons whose projectiles she is weak to wear green Robin Hood-like outfits.

Intro of her battle: 👇 The Queen is seen counting her money on an adding machine, then suddenly spots the player(s) and flips the table, sending coins flying.
