With a fairy-tale look in both its art style and overall design, Cinderia is a cheerful little roguelike game that draws inspiration from titles like Hades, but with plenty of its own unique features.
One of the early bosses you’ll face is the Darkmoon Court Fairy Queen. During the fight, it might look chaotic, but her attack moves are actually quite simple.
Where is the Darkmoon Court Fairy Queen fought?
The Fairy Queen is located in the depths of the forest, which is the final boss of the Lightless Forest area. This region is the second one in the game, coming right after the Ashen Adjudicator. Since the rooms are random and you might not know exactly when you’ll reach the final chamber, it’s smart to come prepared. You’re guaranteed to find a shop to buy supplies before the battle.
Darkmoon Court Fairy Queen’s Moveset
The Fairy Queen is all about constant movement. This makes her somewhat weaker than other bosses, but her quick, tricky attacks make it hard to land hits.
Phase One
Initially, she remains very fast but uses fewer attacks. She often summons smaller fairies to distract you while she moves around.
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Radial Spin | She glows orange before spinning, hitting all around her. Large butterflies follow and explode if touched, creating a fog that reduces your visibility. |
| Small Fairy Summon | She occasionally calls in small butterflies that fly in one direction and vanish. |
| Enemy Summon | She brings out groups of tiny fairy enemies, which can also call more butterflies. These enemies respawn, so taking them out can help clear the area of projectiles. |
Phase Two
The transition to the second phase isn’t marked by a clear moment; instead, her moveset gradually becomes more complex as the battle progresses.
| Attack | Description |
|---|---|
| Clone Summon | She calls 1-2 clones that perform the same attacks but don’t take damage themselves. |
| Aerial Rain | She targets spots on the ground with magical blasts that chase and explode. She can also use her clones to intensify this attack. |
| Fairy Burst | She releases a wide arc of small fairies from her hand, which do not chase you. |
How to beat the Darkmoon Court Fairy Queen
The main strategy is to stay constantly on the move. Ranged attacks are especially useful, so focus on skills and abilities that increase your attack range. Rivet’s cannons are particularly helpful because they can attack the boss automatically and clear away weaker enemies.
Having a second dash maneuver is a huge advantage, allowing you to dodge attacks more easily. During Aerial Rain, which is tough to avoid, you can use hit-and-run tactics. Moving around the boss while she casts spells enables you to attack her repeatedly while she’s busy with her attack pattern.
Although the smaller enemies respawn regularly, it’s worth defeating them as you move through the arena. Clearing out these foes reduces the number of projectiles flying around, making it easier to stay alive.
Once you manage to defeat her, you’ll unlock the next stage in your journey—heading into the Mines.
