Elden Ring: How To Beat Omenkiller Boss

Omenkiller is a field boss in Elden Ring and is entirely optional; hence it is not required to beat him to progress in the story. He does not have his own arena like other bosses, which means that other creatures will also join you during the fight; make sure to kill them first before battling the fierce Omenkiller.

All Omenkiller Locations

Village of the Albinaurics

• From the Village of the Albinaurics Site of Grace situated in Liurnia of the Lakes, travel past the great bridge towards the south and jump down the platform to reach the stage where Omenkiller is sitting, waiting for you with his eerie breath and his vile shepherds.

Perfumer’s Grotto

• There is a unique two-boss fight in Perfumer’s Grotto where you take on the Omenkiller and Miranda, the Blighted Bloom, both at the same time. However, this guide will specifically cover the solo Omenkiller found in the Village of the Albinaurics.

• The last inferior version of the Omenkiller can be found outside the Lower Capital Church Site of Grace in Leyndell Royal Capital.

Omenkiller Attacks and Dodges

Normal Swing

Swings only one of its cleavers in different directions. You can roll away to dodge this attack easily.

Twinblade Leap

He jumps in the air and slams his cleavers into the ground three times; dodge the first two by rolling sideways and the third one by rolling inwards, so you get behind him and get in a backstab. This is also a cheese highly practiced in the Elden Ring community to get rid of him as soon as possible without risking much, just lure out this attack as much as you can and get in those satisfying backstab.

Cleaver Swing

He swings around his cleavers in either direction; the best way to counter this attack is to roll away. This attack can also be parried if timed correctly.

Fire Breath

He breathes fire from his mouth, creating a pit on the ground and dealing AOE Fire damage; just roll out of the range to avoid it.

How to beat Omenkiller Easily?

The Omenkiller can be really annoying to fight, especially with all those stray dogs found in the arena accompanying him. Before charging on the boss, eliminate his Rotten Strays first. If you are caught up by them, the hemorrhage status bar will start to fill up until it is completely full, and the status effect will be triggered, ultimately resulting in death.

Two dogs would be sitting in front of the house, while the third one would be behind the tree on the west. After you’ve defeated the Strays, you can focus on the boss. He has a vast variety of attacks but is generally slow, so you can use hit and run strategy against him to finish him off.
