Developer Re-Logic's Terraria has a ton of bosses that players will encounter. These enemies give various rewards when defeated.
The Queen Slime is one of the bosses you can encounter in this game. This guide helps players learn how they can summon this particular boss so that they can fight it.
This article also helps players understand the mechanics of the boss and what they need to prepare beforehand. There are various tips and tricks here that will guide you in reliably defeating the Queen Slime boss.
Summoning the Queen Slime Boss
The first thing you need to know if you want to fight and beat the Queen Slime boss is how you can actually summon it in the first place. You would need to get to the Underground Hallow and acquire the Gelatin Crystal.
This area is a biome that can be accessed in Hard Mode as long as you have beaten the Wall Of Flesh. The Underground Hallow is located in the Cavern layer of the map. The item you need, the Gelatin Crystal, is hidden in Pink Ice Blocks and Pearlstone, according to The Gamer.
When you have the Gelatin Crystal, you need to bring it to Hallow and use the item you acquired to summon the Queen Slime boss. You can do this at whatever time of day you want and the fight will start immediately.
Preparing for the Fight
Before you summon the Queen Slime boss, you should get everything you need and wear the strongest equipment you can. The recommended set is the Palladium Armor set despite its lower overall stat bonuses.
The main benefit of this armor set is that it has a set bonus known as Rapid Healing. This increases your passive health regeneration. This is typically only increased by Campfires and Heart Lanterns, Game Rant said.

It is also recommended to use Wings as your accessory because, like other Hard Mode boss fights, the Queen Slime can fire off various projectiles and other deadly attacks. Wings let you dodge these to avoid getting KOd.
Your choice of weapon depends on the fighting class that you prefer to with when you go to fight the Queen Slime boss. If you like Magic, the Golden Shower spell tome is a solid choice. It has good damage and can lower your enemy's defense.
For Melee, you can use either Amarok or Yelets as they both have high damage output and can hit from a distance. This lets you avoid getting yourself in a situation that is too risky. For Ranged specifically, you can go with the Daedalus Stormbow which can fire off multiple attacks.
Lastly, for a Summoner, the Sanguine Staff is arguably the best weapon to use against the Queen Slime boss. It lets you deal consistent damage but is rather difficult to obtain. This is because you need to beat the Dreadnautilus boss first.
Other Tips
When fighting the Queen Slime Boss, you can take advantage of a Blue Slime Banner to provide you with a buff. This reduces the amount of damage you take from the boss and increases the damage that you inflict against it.
Be wary that when the boss pauses, you should kill smaller slimes so that you avoid getting swarmed. When you reduce the Queen Slime Boss to less than half of its maximum health, she will fly and send out a volley of attacks, according to GreenmanGaming.
