Queen Hippo

Chapter 1 Alley boss; Requires "Tummy Rubs" via light attacks to prevent a party wipe.

Queen Hippo

Quick Facts

  • Where: Chapter 1 — The Alley
  • Core Mechanic: Tummy Rubs. Requires specific low-damage interactions.

Confirmed Mechanics

  • Tummy Rub Trigger: You must hit Queen Hippo with a light attack (dealing 5 damage or less).
  • The Roll Over: Successfully landing a light attack causes her to roll over for "tummy rubs".
  • Enraged Wipe: If you stop providing tummy rubs (failing to land continuous light attacks) or deal too much damage without the roll-over, she will charge an attack that instantly wipes your entire party.

Practical Strategy

  • Utility Slot: Always bring at least one cat (e.g., Cleric or Collarless) with a low-damage basic attack specifically for this fight.
  • Patience: Do not dump high-damage nukes unless Queen Hippo is currently in her "satisfied" roll-over state.
  • Mana Management: Save your mana for the brief windows where it is safe to push damage, then switch back to the tummy-rub cycle.
