Demi-Human Queen Gilika is a field boss in Elden Ring.
Demi-Human Queen Gilika is a demi-human queen who lurks in the cellar beneath the Lux Ruins on the Altus Plateau. The ruins lie just north of where the plateau begins, so she is often one of the first bosses met there. She plunges her scepter, roars and bites in long, clumsy flurries. Beyond her lies a chest with the Ritual Sword Talisman.
Lore
Gilika towers over common demi-humans, with long, lanky limbs, a canine face, a crown and a tattered cape.
Her scepter-like glintstone staff was once a gift to the demi-humans to foster peace. Even the dull-witted can wield it, though the Academy's fools sneer at it.

Attacks
- Scepter Plunge: she drives her scepter into the ground where she faces; roll away from the spot or block.
- Roar: a short-range roar that bursts around her; step back.
- Aggressive Biting: a long chain of bites at one spot, even after its target moves; circle to her side and attack.
Tactics
- Wait for her long recoveries after each attack, then strike.
- Roll into her attacks to end up behind her instead of blocking.
- Keep hitting to stagger her; she covers her face and opens up for more hits.
- Break her low stance for a critical hit.
- Summon spirits to make the fight even faster.
