How to get to the boss's lair in Jackson's Landing?

The Queen in Mission 10 is the only one in the game that you will encounter on the surface, not inside a building or underground location.

1. The Queen's lair is located at the end of the street in Jackson's Landing, an area investigated in the initial part of the mission.
2. You need to get to the southern part of the map. The Queen's lair is easy to miss, as there is no obligation to visit this area to advance in the mission. Take care of killing the Queen before you head to the Plaza location.

How to defeat the Xenomorph Queen in mission 10?

1. Prepare for battle far east of the Queen's lair.
2. Set up sentry guns and they should face both the camp and the east because regular Xenomorphs might reach the combat area from the opposite side.
3. Place mines in the area - on the path the Queen will move and, if possible, at nests marked with red exclamation points. They will easily kill the new monsters appearing there.

1. Be careful, because in front of the Queen there are Facehuggers Eggs and there are many of them. Don't let them get your marines. Shoot a few of the first ones, then retreat and let the guns kill the Facehuggers.
2. In the case of the Queen, use the old tactic - activate the Suppressive Fire for at least 1 marine to slow down the Queen and prevent her from charging. If, despite this, she was able to charge, then escape with the soldiers to the side.
3. During the fights, pay attention to drones, which may come from the north or from the east. Your sentry guns and mines should deal with them but, if necessary, kill those who get near the unit quickly.
4. After killing the queen, obtain 8 Xenosamples and a Xenotech blueprint by searching her corpse.
