The Sorceress Queen is the fourth boss which will give you the shoulder armor, which grants the spell, Raven Plague.
Strategy:
Fighting Queen 1
You can start by picking up the jars and crates around the place and throw them at the boss while she is off the screen (when she is less likely to block). Her main combo is a series of quick blows followed by a heavy sweep. Block her quick blows, and then dodge or jump at the last moment to dodge her heavy sweep. After that she will make a funny face at you and this is your opportunity to give a couple of heavy hits. She will also perform a smash attack, just jump to avoid it, then smack her a few times. She may also perform a thrusting attack (when she pulls her staff straight back). Avoid it by jumping or rolling away to the side, then roll back in for a few hits.
Fighting Zombies 1
The Sorceress Queen will retreat to her bowl and summon zombies, so kill them all. If possible, use mastered moves that yield life bonuses, like Backbreaker or Monkey Slam. The boss herself remains out of reach at this point, but she will keep attacking by shooting two laser beams at once. The beams move only in straight lines, so run perpendicularly to them to stay out of their way. For the first set of zombies I found it easiest to stay under the bowl to the right or left, to avoid her lazers. Although the spells won’t work against the boss, they will against the zombies. You can use the Fire armor spell here and you could possibly get the 5 or 10 kill achievement. I personally waited until the next round because the lazers are more likely to hit you and you can’t hide under the bowl in the next round.
Fighting Queen 2
After the zombies are gone, the Sorceress Queen will come back down. Throwing objects at her won’t work anymore, but other than that, the tactics for beating her are the same.
Fighting Zombies 2
This round is very much like the second one, except there are more zombies, use you Fire armor power here to make quick work of them. The Queen will fire a laser beams that is now usually aimed toward Conan’s last position. Run perpendicularly (towards the screen and away from the screen).
Fighting Queen 3
The Sorceress Queen’s bowl will break, flooding most of the roof with its mucky liquid that can slow you down. At this point, the boss will remain standing where the bowl has been, periodically releasing energy waves that span the width of the entire area. Quickly jump across the dry bits of rubble sticking out from the liquid, and leap over the waves. Reach either corner behind the boss. Despite what the back corners look like, you can stay at them safely, without getting hit by the energy waves or without getting slowed down by the muck. From the back corners, move behind the boss, and go through the displayed button sequence to complete the mission.
