Negations (or Absorptions)
SlashThe negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Hemorrhage: 239 / 281 / 379 / 669

The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of the given buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs. The values after the "/"s indicate the increased resistances after each successive proc.

Elden Ring Demi-human Queen Gilika Boss Guide
Demi-human Boss Gilika Fight Strategy
The Best Tips for Demi-human Queen Gilika:
- Use the Rotted Stray Ash Summons
- Use the Rock Sling Spell
Melee Users
This boss can receive a ton of damage with aggressive attacks and has a lot of windows and opportunities to deal damage to make the fight fly by quickly. For a faster defeat, players can choose to use Spirit Summons, however this isn't necessary. She can be staggered very easily and will pause to cover her face, giving you a longer opportunity to deal more hits and keep her from her attack sequences. Along with this, her poise can be broken. Continue with these attacks while dodge or blocking her lunges until she is defeated.
Magic and Ranged Users
Use any heavy physical damage Spell such as Rock Sling to keep her staggered and break her poise. To have an even smoother, quick encounter, use Spirit summons to double attacks and have almost the the entire fight open to your magic or ranged attack as she focuses on the summon. Continue dealing attacks and moving back to quickly defeat this boss.
Demi-human Queen Gilika Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Description | Counter |
| Sceptre Plunge | She uses her sceptre and plunges it into the ground. | It will be easy to predict around where this attack will go based on the direction she is facing so dodge roll away from the area to avoid it or block it. |
| Roar | Lets out a roar with a radial effect | This action has a short range. Step back to avoid it. |
| Aggressive Biting | Targets an area and bites it. | This animation sequence can be long and she can continue to bite the same spot even after players have moved away. Circle to its side and deal your own set of attacks during this action. |

AnonymousJust beat this boss and had one of the lil sneaky guys with the 2 daggers rush me after the fight with the same glowing purple eyes. it was glowing like it had a lantern on or something too... anybody else seen something like this? I was thinking of the buff they get at night, but it wasn't even night time! And all the other demi-humans were cowering like they normally do when the queen dies. Would love to hear if other people have had this happen.

She's the only demi-human queen that throws away her staff, right? I think that makes her one of the very few enemies in the game whose moveset only appears once

I've been a bit wary of these demi-human queens. I avoided the one in weeping peninsula like a dose of clap, but I was at that azur wizard's site of grace and killed the nearest Raya Lucaria sorcerer just for fun but Maggie came after me right away, I hit her twice with frenzied burst before she got to me, I hit her with a two handed charged attack and got a chance to critical right off it, and that was it, she was done.

After you beat her the demihumans at the ruins will stop attacking you and cower in fear when you walk by

Shockingly easy to kill. Using a +8 Dark Moon Greatsword with 46 INT I killed this boss with two R2 projectiles.

So why is she wearing purple glowing contacts? Ive tried regular purple ones, and I can guarantee they did not make me eleven feet tall and magical.

Wannabe mage. Starts out trying to chant a spell, fails, and just smashes the staff on your face breaking it. Proceeds to flounder around like a feral mutt.

If you leave the hostile npcs alive outside the gate surrounding the ruins and kill the boss, they all turn into cowering monkeys lol. Wonder what the point of that is

Do NOT choose Spawn at Stake if you die in this fight(I got caught off guard trying to figure out where my greatshield summon dudes went. Summoned them, and they just didn't show). I don't know if it's just me, but it doesn't load back in there.

I wonder if this boss is related to the ghost outside of Fort Haight that says "The demi-humans wax wroth, now their mother's been taken..."

Bloodflame worked well. Poise can be broken. Dodge or block lunging attacks. Dodge unblockable smash attack
don't they all do that?
