Recruiting the Queens

There be spoilers here involving the appearance some characters and the inclusion of some locations.

Queens are the peak of monster races that most monsters aspire to one day be. As of Part 2 of Paradox, Queens are some of the strongest companions you can recruit and most of the have access to the exclusive Queen Advanced Races as the race change items are not in the game yet.

Sluggy Stars
The first "queen" monsters you can recruit, though they don't have access to a Queen Race.
 * 1) Go to Midas Village and talk to Flora.
 * 2) Head to the third floor of the Slugs Tower to find the Sluggy Stars and defeat them.
 * 3) Raise the affection of any slug companion (Melk, Elizabeth, Rosary) to 100 to get the Slug Medal.
 * 4) Talk to Sluggy Stars again to recruit them.

Demon Cow Queen
She aimed to be Queen Beast, but a young hero foiled her plans. Despite no Advanced Queen Race for her as of yet, she's a very strong physical fighter with minimal set up. To recruit her complete the Sukiyaki Party sidequest and show her the Horn of Friendship.
 * 1) Prove yourself to Grand Noah Queen in the main quest.
 * 2) Agree to help Cerberus.
 * 3) Talk to the red haired man sitting at the bar in the Grand Noah Bar.
 * 4) Talk to the Minotauros in the Blacksmith.
 * 5) Head west through the tunnel. Clear the Minotaur Maze and defeat the Demon Cow Queen.
 * 6) Go back to the tunnel. Give the Minotauros there 10 Sukiyaki for the Horn of Friendship.
 * 7) * 2 Sukiyaki can be found in the Minotaur Maze in the pots next to the entrance. All the Minotaurs inside also drop them. Or Flavor Emperor's learn the cooking recipe at level 9. Or stolen as food from Youki.
 * 8) Show the Horn of Friendship to the Demon Cow Queen and she'll join you.

Alraune Priestess
She's not quite Queen Alraune yet, but she will be soon enough and she's needed to recruit the old Queen Alraune which is why she's included on this list. Additionally, you should also be able to recruit her if you decided to side with her immediately, but that stops you from recruiting Queen Bee, so this is the ideal option.
 * 1) Once you make it to Plansect Village and talk to her, tell her you're not taking sides just yet (Option 3).
 * 2) Go talk to Queen Bee on Red Mountain and tell her you've just come to talk (Option 3). Then tell her to meet with Alraune Priestess and you'll broker peace (Option 3).
 * 3) Return to Alraune Priestess and broker peace (Option 2).
 * 4) Win the next two fights and then go talk to Alraune Priestess to recruit her.

Queen Bee
The most underwhelming entry on this list. She has no Queen Race and a mediocre unique trait. But, she's needed for either Queen Ant or Spider Princess to become Queen Insect hence her inclusion on this list.

Exactly the same as Alraune Priestess. Once you've brokered peace and won the two following fights, go talk to Queen Bee on Red Mountain and she should join you.

Once again, she'll join if you decide to side with her initially but that locks you out from recruiting Alraune Priestess.

Queen Ant
Queen Ant doesn't have access to the Queen Insect Race when first recruited, but she can gain it later. See Spider Princess for more details.
 * 1) Complete the Succubus Village and Lady's Village quests.
 * 2) Talk to Grangold King to receive your reward for these quests.
 * 3) Complete the Four Perverts side quest.
 * 4) Talk to Queen Ant to recruit her.

Beelzebubs

 * 1) BeelzebubNoNipples.png Go to Gold Port and talk to Selene.
 * 2) Complete Selene's quest. After you defeat the Beelzebubs, they will disappear.
 * 3) Go to Yamatai Village to recruit them.

Queen Harpy
This one is unusual in that you fight and defeat her early in Part 1, long before you're able to recruit her.


 * 1) Complete the Harpy Disappearance quest.


 * 1) Go to the World Tree and defeat Queen Alraune.


 * 1) Talk to Queen Alraune to ask for the Seed of Yggdrasil.

Queen Alraune
Queen Alraune won't join you until Alraune Priestess takes up the position of Queen.
 * 1) Bring Alraune Priestess to her and she'll give instructions on how she can become a Queen.
 * 2) Alraune Priestess adamantly refuses, but you're the party leader so you drag her to Gold Beach, North-East of Godaaru.
 * 3) Find the crystallized sunlight. Alraune Priestess tells you to smash it, but it doesn't matter which option you take. Alraune Priestess becomes the new Queen Alraune and the old Queen Alraune joins your party.

Queen Mermaid
]] El will join the party after you stop her mother. Afterwards, she'll have a quest on the Pocket Castle Bounty Board. The steps are as follows if you don't like links.

Spider Princess
She'll be a Queen if she can find a supportive husband. Note that you'll need have to resolved the Plansect Village civil war and recruited Queen Ant on your current playthrough to recruit Spider Princess.
 * 1) After you've defeated her and talked to the Grangold King, return to her after defeating the other queens, and she'll inform you that she, unfortunately, can't follow through on her marriage promise as she is a candidate to become Queen Insect.
 * 2) Tell her you'll help and she'll take you to meet Queen Ant and Queen Bee, the other two candidates.
 * 3) Now, the next two choices don't matter for recruiting Spider Princess. They only determine who gets the Queen Insect race. The first choice doesn't even matter at all. The first option says you believe Spider Princess has turned over a new leaf. The second option says you don't. The second choice just determines who gets the Queen Insect race.
 * 4) * If you support Spider Princess (Option 1), you fight Queen Ant and Queen Bee. Spider Princess will join immediately afterward, and gain access to the Queen Insect race.
 * 5) * If you choose to support Queen Ant and Queen Bee (Option 2), you'll fight Spider Princess again and Queen Ant will gain the Queen Insect race. You'll be kicked outside of Red Mountain, but if you return to Spider Princess afterwards, she says you can't believe her betrothed betrayed her, but then reveal she's super aroused by your sadistic behaviour and join your party anyways.

 * 5) * If you haven't recruited Lazarus yet, he can be found in the Goldport Pub after resolving the situation in Grangold.
 * 6) * If you don't want to recruit Lazarus, then simply bring Vanilla to him in the Goldport Pub and they'll make the deal to complete the sidequest.
 * 7) Talk to Queen Vampire and she'll join you.
