The Messenger - Queen of Quills in 32.48 | New Game Speedrun Route
9After 9 months I finally improved the best Queen of Quills time! While this strategy is extremely difficult/complex it does account for all 4 of the Queens patterns still and if you get this right/right RNG it saves 2.26 seconds over the previous best strat.
There is a lot of "T-Boost" inputs used where you slash away from the boss then quickly turn the lingering slash into them to reverse the knockback effect and be able to chase after her better. I also sometimes combine this with the community named "Welfare Wingsuit attack" where you slash strat then hold wingsuit which tricks the game into giving you that boost upwards that you normally only get with the downwards Wingsuit attack.
After important things to note is when the queen is knocked off the chain, when she lands she takes 6 hits before she does her quill attack. The second time I knock her off the chain I purposefully turn my slash away from her right before she lands then turn the lingering slash into her and throw 2 shuriken's to very quickly hit that 6 hit counter mark, then while she would normally shoot quills this actually happened to be just enough damage to put her at 1 HP.
When she's at 1 HP she will always jump to the center of the screen on the next action (in this case the next action would have been her shooting the quills but instead was replaced with this "defeat" state). Once she has landed in the middle in this defeat state you can finally defeat her so I use my last shuriken to finish her off while remaining close to the door.
