Royal Jelly
From SpiralKnights
The Royal Jelly is a gelatinous cube about 5 times the dimensions of the basic pink cube, adorned with a blue and purple crown on its top. It has the ability to spawn large quantities of Royal Mini pink cubes, and the occasional Jelly Cube.
Unlike normal slimes, the Royal Jelly is only slightly weak to shadow attacks, and only has a slight resistance to piercing.
Monstrous Profile
Tread with caution when you enter the slime-covered halls of the Royal Jelly Palace. Recon Knights have gathered that this ancient, open-air castle has been overtaken by a legion of slimes, the most fearsome of which is a 'Royal Jelly.'
Like any unruly king, it has a short fuse and loves to throw its weight around. We cannot be certain under what lineage or authority this oozing aristocrat claims noble descent, but we would still caution those traveling in its palace to stay vigilant and come prepared with Poison vials and weapons, in addition to a full complement of knights!
Strategy
This giant dessert gone wild will try to prevent you from attacking it with a massive amount of minions that swarm you. He spawns in a small space at the top of the room. It's best to get a weapon that can cause poison or fire. Poison is best due to the fact that the royal gargantuan can and will sacrifice its smaller friends to heal itself. When it first appears, have a charged attack ready to be unleashed. The Royal Jelly is able to break the breakable walls and can also fire small Royal Mini jellies out.
Handguns are not very effective because other jellies will often block your shot. Run up and hack away, ignoring the other jellies and pausing only to shield when the Royal Jelly spins. Use weapons or vials to keep the Royal Jelly poisoned, cursed, and on fire at all times.
Tactics
The Jelly King's attacks at regular intervals with a spinning attack, hitting everything near, and sending out various mini jellies, and heals at a normal rate during the fight. The best suggestion is wait for an attack, hit him with a full swing of melee, then back off till his next attack. At low health, he begins turning pink, and spins around the room at a decent clip. During this time he is invulnerable, but he can't reach you in the 8 corners of the room. He will do 1 regular attack in between invulnerability / spinning timers.
Another tactic that's perhaps a bit more dangerous, is to stand on the squares where the wall block constantly regenerate. If you stand on the square when one regenerates, it will deal damage to you-- but less damage than even one of the mini Jellies will do to you.
(ADD: In my opinion there isn't any tactic. You just rush at him and keep hitting. don't mind about your health. Keep hitting. back away when he turns pink but stay on his tail. Do NOT run around as he will heal himself and you will have to do it all over again.
Do NOT wait to revive. if your in a party do not argue about reviving. Any waste of time will make the game more harder as he revives himself by sacrificing the smaller blobs and taking their health. In short: Just attack)
(ADD: don't forget Lithanium's opinion! If your gonna use vials, don't use any now. simply wear down his health until he is singing you spin me around(like a record) and blushing. If no one has a poisonous weapon, i guess one or two poison vials is ok, but that's it!! When hes pink, then take out your poison and curse vials. often curse will do more damage then any attack, thus the high demand for fausts in the palace. i personally have never beaten the royal jelly without curse, so you can easily solo him as long as you have curse vials on his 'blushing' mode.if ur gonna talk energy, talk before you go on the button.)

Notes
- The Royal Jelly's health varies by the number of players in the party. Under some circumstances, he can be easier solo than in a group.
