Elana, the Squalid Queen, like [[Nashandra]], was a fragment of [[Manus, Father of the Abyss]], supposedly a fragment representing the trait of wrath. Regaining her form, she became Elana, and later wife of the [[Sunken King]]. It is unknown if she designed to betray the Sunken King or if she truly loved him, but one day [[Sir Yorgh]] and his [[Drakeblood Knight|Drakeblood Knights]] besieged Shulva, defeating the Sunken King and awakening [[Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon]], who then let forth a toxic cloud that annihilated the whole city.

Somehow, Elana survived the siege, and became furious and vengeful for her city's destruction and possibly her husband's death. She took on her true form, and now accompanies Sinh, accruing souls for the day of her vengeance.

==Appearance==
−
* Elana will cast [[Affinity]], [[Chaos Storm (Dark Souls II)|Chaos Storm]], [[Dark Hail]], [[Dark Orb (Dark Souls II)|Dark Orb]], [[Darkstorm]], and [[Flame Swathe]].
+
Being they share similar origins, both Elana and [[Nashandra]] have very similar physical traits, appearing as tall female humanoids wearing a sort of long skirt made with dead organic material, Nashandra wearing a mass of human carcasses (similar to [[Gravelord Nito]]), and Elana wearing a mass of red-colored dead branches that give the impression of being made of shreds of living flesh. Their overall designs differs most in that while Nashandra looks more like a skeleton, Elana looks more like a fresh corpse.
−
* When close, she will attack the player with the [[Wrathful Axe]].
−
* During the fight, Elana will attempt to summon additional enemies to aid her. These include a golden version of [[Velstadt, The Royal Aegis]], a group of golden [[Skeleton (Dark Souls II)|skeletons]] (three if alone, plus one for each phantom), or a group of [[Enslaved Pig]]s (though this is very rare).
−
* When the player is at a distance, she will cast Flame Swathe. It can either appear as a single orb or two; when there are two, they will appear on either side of the player. Rolling forward is the best way to avoid this.
−
* It is best to have another player or NPC summoned during this fight to distract the enemies she summons.
−
* Summoned[[Velstadt, the Royal Aegis| Velstadt]] has less health than his boss version. However, his attacks are still highly damaging and the distraction he poses can prove fatal.
−
== Drops ==
+
They both wield similar looking weapons, Nashandra holding a long reaper and Elana a halberd, and they both swing them in very similar ways, displaying almost the same movesets while attacking.

+
*Summoned [[Velstadt, the Royal Aegis|Velstadt]] has less health than his boss version. However, his attacks are still highly damaging and the distraction he poses can prove fatal.
+
*Special care must be taken as the real danger posed in this fight is Elana's tendency of being opportunistic, often teleporting behind the player and performing a devastating attack, or casting hexes and pyromancies constantly while the player is occupied dealing with other enemies.
+
*While she's summoning enemies, she'll leave herself open for attack for about ten seconds (although, with increased defense).
+
*[[Alluring Skull (Dark Souls II)|Alluring Skulls]] can aid in distracting summoned skeletons for a moment.
+
*If playing solo, it's recommended to deal with any summoned enemies as soon as they materialize, and finish them off as fast as possible.
