Abilities
| Ability | Effect | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Summon critters | Calls waves of Fell Critters and red Exploding Fell Critters that rush the player, bite and slash. | Clear them fast, ideally with area damage; kill the exploding ones first from range. |
| Exploding critters | The red critters run up and blow themselves up after a very short delay, for heavy damage. A small red ring on the ground marks the coming blast. | Shoot them before they reach you; their blast also hurts other enemies. Do not try to bait the explosion unless your timing is sure. |
| Spit | Lobs wads of insect spit at long range. | Keep moving. |
| Claw swipe | Strikes with her claws at anyone who gets close. | She is slow; dodge the swipe and attack her rear. |
Resistances and Weaknesses
Weaknesses:
- Fire (x1.5 damage taken).
- Blunt (x1.5 damage taken).
- Cutting and Piercing (x1.2 damage taken).
- Low health pool; she goes down quickly once you can hit her.
Resistances: Shroud damage (immune, like all Fell).
How to Beat the Fell Critter Queen
- If you plan to summon her at a mound, bring a Shroud Core. The Alchemist crafts one from 10 Shroud Spores and 10 Shroud Liquid.
- Stay on the move the whole fight, whatever your weapon.
- Kill the summoned critters as soon as they arrive; area attacks work best on the swarm.
- Ranged builds: use the gaps between critter waves to shoot the queen from a distance, or kite her and chip away.
- Melee builds: roll past her claw swipe and hit her from behind.
- Destroy Fell Critter Nests with a felling axe or fire so they stop feeding critters into the fight.

Lore
The Fell Critter Queen rules over the beetle-like Fell Critters that swarm through the Shroud. She calls waves of them into every fight, including red critters that blow themselves up. She guards Elixir Wells, Shroud Roots and other places deep in the Shroud. Her Giant Critter Scales are huge and hard, yet light and very tough. Their item text calls them ideal for strong and flexible armor, which is why the Blacksmith, Hunter and Alchemist all use them.

Notes
- She is a boss of the Fell faction.
- She guards Elixir Wells, Shroud Roots and other points of interest in the Shroud.

- She drops Runes, which upgrade gear and reset skill points at the Flame Altar.
