How to unlock the The Village achievement in Salt and Sanctuary - Definitive Guide

The Queen of Smiles has two phases, with roughly the same moves in each phase … just quicker in the second phase. The first move is a stabbing motion, which is typically followed up by her second move: a shooting out of multiple swords in a radial pattern.

Beating the stab relies on rolling or blocking with a shield; the radial sword shots easily miss characters who are far enough away , or they can be blocked with a shield, too.

The easiest strategy for this boss is to get in close, keep your shield raised, and continue to swing, poke, or crack that whip. As all her moves can be blocked, it's just a matter of stamina management.

Nice tips. Definitely one of the easiest bosses with good lessons to learn for future more difficult bosses.

Story related. Cannot be missed.

This is the second boss of the game. The Queen of Smiles is located at the Village of Smiles. Her attacks are based on strike and slash damage. She is weak against holy damage, though she is strong against poison. This battle has two stages.

During the first stage, she will perform:

  • Stab/Slash/Stab combo – The Queen of Smiles may stab the ground right in front of her. It can be followed by an upwards slash attack and, sometimes, another stab right after the slash attack. Try to get behind her to do some damage. Beware that she may change her attacks’ direction. Keep dodging to avoid being hit.
  • Charge attack – The boss may charge and try to stab you. Simply dodge when she stabs and try to land a few hits.
  • AOE Sword attack – She can summon eight swords in a circle around her that will be thrown at every direction. You can easily dodge or block the swords that go on your direction.


When the boss gets to 50% of its original health, the second stage begins. During the second stage the boss attacks quicker. She will perform the same attacks as previously, as well as the following:

  • Spinning Attack – Generally done after the AOE sword attack, the Queen of Smiles will charge while spinning her arms, dealing high damage. Try to avoid it by blocking or dodging.


Upon victory, you will receive: The Queen of Smile’s Ear.
