How to beat Scorpioness Najka in Dark Souls 2

Anyone who has played the original Dark Souls will find Scorpioness Najka looks a wee bit familiar--she's basically a scorpion version of Chaos Witch Quelaag. In practice, her attacks are fairly easy to dodge. If you keep your distance, she'll cast soul arrow-esque magic spells your way, some of which can track your location.

Up close, she has short range with her front attacks, but watch out for her tail--whenever she slams it into the ground in an attempt to kill you, take that opportunity to dish out some damage. Our video above explains the fight in more detail.
