Scorpioness Najka hides a thorny existential question

It's hard not to see Scorpioness Najka as a throwback to Quelaag, both topless raven haired half-woman half-arachnid monster characters, but their stories are essentially opposite.

Najka is sort of implied to be a surviving creation of Seath the Scaleless, who is driven mad by her own monstrous body and eventually reverts to a fully feral state, in which the player finds her. Her companion and partner, Tark, begs you to put her down, a complete reversal of the relationship between Quelaag and the Fair Lady.

And Najka is once again Dark Souls 2 confronting the player with a split identity - Najka was once lucid and mentally human as it were, but has been taken over by her scorpion half. She has been subsumed into her own baser instinct, lost herself - or you could say her self has been transformed by the state of her body. Are people more than their thoughts? Can you separate a mind from the body it occupies? There are some thorny existential questions buried in this fantasy trope.

And design wise, thus, it makes sense that Tark, retaining his faculties, has a much more even size between his scorpion and human body, but Najka, having lost herself, is vastly more scorpion than human. It's basic visual storytelling, but I think it works.

My recreation of the cut Dark souls 2 cutscene where Tark fondles Najka's skull amulet. The cutscene has so much emotion in it, it depresses me that we'll never see such romance between them in the final product.

Smelter Demon was pretty good^^

Old Iron King was a joke, they could've copy and pasted the Ceaseless Discharge in there and it would have been a harder fight.

Scorpioness Najka looked like it could've been a really good fight, but it seems I took her on way too late because her health bar was basically butter... maybe I'll try her with a bonfire ascetic at some point?

Royal Rat Authority (for real this time, last time I confused the name for the Vanguard) was super cute, could've also been a bit tougher but the toxic rat minions murdered me twice and the acid vomit almost broke my gear, so that was also a high tier fight^^

Fanmade song for Scorpioness Najka from Dark Souls II.

Set it to a slightly-faster-than-walking pace to give a staggering yet heart-felt motion to it. Put an emphasis on the vocals over the instruments for a calm backing to the expressions of the voices. Here's the playlist for All My Souls Season II: The Good Senator, I try to upload a new part of it every 2 days:

Scorpioness Najka from Dark Souls 2

Smash or Pass:

Same deal as the spider-lady. Great design, but it basically took an anime monster-girl concept and played it for horror instead of sexy, so I gotta pass.

RACHEL RANKS: DARK SOULS TRILOGY BOSSES FROM WORST TO BEST

#49: Scorpioness Najka (Dark Souls 2)

“Najka was born of the misdeeds of an ancient being, a frail soul from the beginning, that soon succumbed to madness.”

SORRY I POSTED THE WRONG BOSS FIRST LOL. Guess that speaks to how memorable this one is, huh? Really though, this boss is pretty inoffensive beyond some rough stunlock issues and thus brings very little new to the table. She does get a bad rap for being a Quelaag clone which I actually think is pretty unfair; she may share some visual similarities, but their movesets are almost entirely different and the fights don't feel anything alike. That said, the visual similarities are undeniable and I can see why people would take issue with that. She does have some interesting lore and a neat little miniquest with Tark that makes her a bit more worth remembering, but overall? She's just kinda there.

Scorpioness Najka’s madness is actually caused by the skull necklace she wears. It was a loving gift from Tark, but the skull comes from a Man-Eater Clam and sends vibrations that mess with her head.
