After defeating Radagon, a cutscene will play in which Radagon is consumed by the Elden Ring, as a result making it the Elden Beast. The Elden Beast’s attacks cause substantial area-of-effect (AOE) damage, covering a wider range than Radagon’s. Its Cosmic Breath is attack is the most lethal one if you get caught up in it. Luckily though, the telegraph of each attack is very clear, making it easier for players to get to safety.
If the Elden Beast summons the Elden Ring to appear on the top of your head, run away as fast and as far away as you can possibly do. It may be tempting to roll, but don’t do that, keep on running as it is the fastest way to get away from that attack.
The Elden Beast’s Homing attack can be lethal if your health level is inadequate. This is the most deadly attack it has and it just appears to go on and on. Just keep on running and it’ll stop briefly.
How Can I Defeat the Elden Beast?
The Elden Beast has a glowing spot on its stomach which causes extra damage when attacked. This spot can be easily targeted by ranged players, however, it may be a dangerous approach for melee users. With that being said, it may sometimes be safer to be closer to the Elder Beast rather than being far away. It can prove to be a great way to avoid its ranged attacks, although it’ll also be easier to get caught up in its AOE damage.
Ranged players are more likely to find this boss easier to defeat compared to melee players. If using close-range weapons, you should always try to stay near the boss and keep attacking, as playing too defensively will make it a one-sided battle and harder to finish.
Weakness
Using Black Flame on your weapons is the best idea when going against the Elden Beast. So, keep this in your mind when selecting your weapon, talisman, and armor. Also, status effects such as poison, bleed, sleep and scarlet rot have absolutely no effect on the Elden Beast.
The battle mainly involves evading the Elden Beast, resulting in a prolonged encounter. There are multiple opportunities to strike the boss before and after its attacks. Keep an eye on these openings and capitalize on them.
That covers the essential strategies to defeat the final boss, the Elden Beast. I hope this guide eases your journey. Thank you for reading, and good luck defeating the final boss. Enjoy your adventure!
