I am at this problem now which beam should I be hitting?

Sometimes you can jump OVER the little kickimores. If you jump over even a single one, it helps, because the Queen only attacks you if she's right behind you. If there's a little kickimore between you and her, she mostly can't get to you.

If you take a Full Moon potion (which doubles your hit points), it helps, because it means that you can survive one hit from the Queen. That gives you room to screw up once and still keep going.

It's a question of 45 seconds if you do it right:



But there are many other possibilities, for example:

I remember doing this like 5 times, trying to kill all the Kikimores before I figured it out, lol. Great boss fight.

I find Blizzard to be invaluable in that situation, as well as tactical use of the pause function.

How do you Jump? I checked the controls and didn't see a button to do that.

Press a direction key (WASD) twice in a row. Quickly.

No "beams", the wooden support that keep up the cealing of the cave. When the Kikimore queen pops up, Geralt enters the tunnel and says something like if the wooden reinforcements are destroyed, the cave will fall on the giant bug head, killing her instantly.
There are three series of them in the tunnel, before the largest cave (where the queen dies). Ignore the small kikimores and hit them with Aard.

I just now managed to complete the quest. I ran like a football player ( not something I can do in RL) and managed to get past the hordes of spiders while dropping the archways. My mouth dropped, I couldn't believe I actually had done the quest. Thank you everyone for your help it made a difference.

Glad you managed to do it! Dropping that final archway on the Kickimore Queen's head can be sooo satisfying.

I finally got through this after countless attempts. It seems it's all down to timing and perhaps luck and speed. These seemed to be key:

ensure you are set up with fast steel so you can move quickly wnough
take out the props for the first 2 doorways (ensure correct accuracy and timing)
run fast as you can through the big room, avoiding getting blocked and swarmed by kikimores
get beyond the supports and then hit them (I hit 2 and possibly 3) then run away!

I'd got right through a couple of times before but died when the roof collapsed even though I got the end of quest text - this time I avoided that.

It all just seemed to come right on this attempt.

Here is what I think is, the best way to kill the Kikkimore Queen.1. Prepare your aard sign and silver sword.2. run into the tunnel and go to where it says "body"3. Knock down the pillar you just ran through (the second one)4. From here, kill off any kikkimore workers that are around. You can take your time. The queen will never come through. But make sure you don't advance further into the tunnel.5. Loot the dead body. There is a yellow moon rune here.6. Run through the rest of the tunnel as quick as possible, turn around, and hit the pillar with the aard sign. Most of the other kikkimore should despawn.7. Run to the other side and hit the whole cave with aard again.8. Wait.I think a lot of people probably miss out on the dead body or spend a lot of time fighting kikkimore workers to get into the cave. This way, you get the loot and waste minimal time on fighting. ›››

This seems to be working though. In my opinion you should run through the tunnel as fast as you can, casue its "time Trial". you dont need to kills kikimora's on ur way as they all will die after the tunnel collapses

Thank you soo much, ive been stuck because i thought i was to stay on the side that the kikimore queen was on and that i should pull down the barrier to stop the small kikimores from interrupting our battle
