Elden Beast is a Boss in Elden Ring. This Elden Ring Elden Beast Guide features boss locations, tips, strategies and videos on how to defeat the Elden Beast easily, as well as boss stats and lore for the Elden Beast.
Elden Beast is the true form of the Elden Ring, acting as the vassal of the Greater Will, and is found in the Elden Throne. It was sent to the Lands Between through a golden star long before the events of the game.
This boss is NOT optional, as it is the final fight of the game, appearing immediately upon defeating Radagon of the Golden Order. As with many endgame bosses, Weapons, Incantations, and Spirit Ashes capable of inflicting Black Flame are highly recommended as they deal damage over time based on the boss' maximum HP. In addition, Stamina-boosting Equipment is recommended as the boss is highly mobile and you may find yourself using a lot of Stamina chasing it down. If you die to the Elden Beast, you are required to fight Radagon again before rechallenging it. It drops the Elden Remembrance when defeated.
Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that can be encountered all over the Lands Between. Shardbearers drop their own unique Great Rune and Remembrance capable of being transformed into powerful Weapons, Spells, Ashes of War, and Talismans for the player.
It is said that long ago, the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between, which would later become the Elden Ring.
It was the vassal beast of the Greater Will and the living incarnation of the concept of Order.

Elden Beast Combat Information
- Health: NG (22,127), NG+ (22,149), NG+2 (24,363), NG+3 (25,471), NG+4 (26,578), NG+5 (28,793), NG+6 (29,901), NG+7 (31,008)
- Defenses do not change between phases - phase transition grants new attacks.
- Deals massive Holy Damage (main source of damage) and Standard Damage.
- Parriable: No
- Can be poise broken, which allows for a critical attack. Poise: 150.
- The water in the arena increases Lightning Damage by 10% and decreases Fire Damage by 10%.
Absorptions
- Phy (Standard): 10
- Phy (Slash): 10
- Phy (Strike): 10
- Phy (Pierce): 10
The absorption numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if an absorption is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% is absorbed. Bigger number = less damage. An absorption of 100 means no damage goes through, and a resistance of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.
Resistances
Poison: Immune
Scarlet Rot: Immune
Hemorrhage: Immune
Frostbite: Immune
Sleep: Immune
Madness: Immune
Death Blight: Immune
The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of whatever aux buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs.

Elden Beast Fight Strategy
The Best Tips for Elden Beast:
- Use the Mimic Tear Ash summons.
- If your build is Arcane-focused, the Occult enhancement gives you excellent physical damage in lieu of ailments which cannot affect this boss.
- Use Lord's Divine Fortification to greatly reduce the damage of Elden Beast's many holy attacks. Alternatively, Divine Fortification, Haligdrake Talisman (+2, does stack with spells) or Holyproof Dried Liver (as 1.04, it does not stack with spells) help to a lesser degree.
- Lord's Divine Fortification paired with Haligdrake Talisman and light armor with high Holy resistance can give even 70% holy damage negation, which makes most attacks survivable with 40 VIG.
- Use the Green Turtle Talisman to increase stamina regeneration so you can get more attacks in after chasing down Elden Beast.
- At the beginning of the fight, run behind the beast, because it usually starts by breathing fire. This will avoid the attack and give you an opportunity to deal damage.
- Elden Beast is extremely resistant to holy and moderately resistant to other elements, so stick to physical damage if possible.
- Avoid using the locking on feature when Elden Beast is close to you, this can screw up your attacks.
- When the Elden Beast jumps into the air, disengage the lock-on and watch for the rings. Jump over instead of rolling through them.
- It is preferred to, if possible, to do this fight solo. If you must summon a player, it is recommended to only have 1 other as more than 1 will increase the difficulty as the boss gains more HP.
- The charged up Black Flame Tornado skill and the incantation Pest Threads (at close range) can deal a large amount of damage to the boss.
- If timed correctly the Elden Beast can be staggered before casting elden stars, preventing the boss from using the first guaranteed cast. This can be done by stacking stance damage against the Elden Beast before it reaches half health and repeatedly using a high stance damage weapon or weapon art when it attempts to cast. Colossal Weapons and some weapon arts such as Square Off deal high stance damage.
Melee Users
Right when entering the arena, there will be a few seconds of time to run towards Elden Beast before it initiates any form of attacks. The first attack (Most if not all the time) is a yellow fire breath attack, to avoid this, as stated to the right (Yellow Fire Breath), run behind it and strike from behind, you should be able to get a few hits in before it decides to move or change attacks. From there, attack patterns are random and will vary, refer to the right table for how to counter certain attacks.
At around 70%-80% HP (May vary), Elden beast will swim away and fly into the air, a ring will then appear around you that closes in, run and then jump over this ring, continue to run as there will be a blast after the ring closes. This ring attack (named Elden Ring Blast on the right side panel) will happen again when Elden Beast is around 30%-40% HP (May vary), instead of 1 ring it will be 3, followed by a blast. These 2 attacks will always happen, unless glitches are used or you somehow manage to kill Elden Beast extremely quickly, for the average player, these 2 attacks will always happen.
If dodged successfully, after most attacks/combos, there will be a window of opportunity to attack Elden Beast as it “stands” still for a few seconds, make sure to get every second out of this window of time before it begins another attack/combo.
Most Elden Beast attacks can be rolled with relative ease after a few runs before hand, meaning you may be able to conserve healing flasks if you are adamant in your ability to roll it’s attacks, if you aren’t it's recommended to be at or near (80%+) full HP. (This can really only be applied to players who’s HP surpasses 1200-1400 HP)
As shown above, Elden Beast is immune to all Status Effects, meaning if you use a weapon that outputs most of its damage through a weapon skill that inflicts a Status Effect, those weapons are ill-advised to use in this fight. Recommended weapons would be high Physical Damaging weapons, such as Greatswords and Colossal Swords, but are not limited to such weapons.
Recommended Talismans would be any that boost Physical and Holy damage negation, such as the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman and or Heligdrake +2 talisman. Other useful talismans that are advised to use are Crimson Seed Talisman, Green Turtle Talisman, Winged Sword Insignia, Erdtree's Favor +2, and more. Great Runes can and should be used; Godrick’s and Radahn’s are useful if not recommended. Morgott's Great Rune can be generally beneficial but may lead to the player needing up to three +12 Crimson Flask charges to fully heal.
Recommended Crystal Tears for your physick are Tears that raise Physical damage negation, restore HP, boost stamina recovery, or increase attack damage. Of course, these can and will depend on your build, stats, skills, and preference.
Magic and Ranged Users
For incantation users, Pest Threads (at close range) deals heavy damage to large targets such as the beast. Also, Elden Beast has relatively low resistance to physical damage.
For sorcery users, a viable option is to use Rock Sling (Meteorite of Astel/Meteorite can be useful only at the beginning of the fight) - not only in deals Physical-type damage, but it can poise break him. Beast remains stunned for a while, what can create an opportunity to drink Flask of Wondrous Physick with Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear and Cerulean Hidden Tear - a mix perfect for Comet Azur (as long as there is no Elden Star nearby, dealing high damage to a standing target)
Elden Beast Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Description | Counter |
| Hand Slam | Slams its left hand into the ground. | Simply roll to the left side. |
| Golden Breath | Spews out yellow fire, which spreads in a wide area. | Stand behind it. Melee users should quickly unlock target lock to avoid camera flail as he stands up and prepares to spew, then re-lock once he finishes. |
| Sword Swing | Backs a short distance away and swings its sword. | |
| Swimming Sword Swing | Swims away before returning with a large sword swing. | |
| Black Hole Teleport | Quickly swims into a black hole, which teleports it away before exploding. | When you see the cloud run directly away from it. |
| Nebula | Its hand starts glowing and it swipes in a forward arc, leaving behind a cloud of glittering magic that explodes. | Run to the sides. |
| Divine Punishment | The beast's left hand will begin shining gold, and it will sweep forward in an attempt to grab the player. If successful, they will be lifted up as if they were crucified, where they will be pierced with several golden spears before being let go. | Dodge or run to the left side. |
| Ringed Explosion | Swims away and begins levitating in the air, forming the symbol of the Elden Ring in the sky. A large ring will begin converging on the target’s position, before ending in a large explosion. | Run outside of the outer ring, rolling through the enclosing inner circle. On the <50% HP version, running jump 3 times, over each enclosing ring, and then jump one more time to leave the blast radius. The 3-ring version has a more complex symbol in the sky when the Beast floats upward. |
| Golden Wing Spears |
Shoots many magical spears from its wings, which chase after the player before crashing into the ground. | Run in small circles or pick a direction and keep running. |
| Flying Flame Sword | Flies through the air shortly before its sword catches on fire, after which it crashes into the ground and swings. | Dodge by rolling forward into the attack. |
| Elden Stars | Sends out a gold projectile that continuously chases its target while spawning smaller homing projectiles that chip away at their health before exploding. | Sprint away from Stars, once it gets close, roll back through the stars and sprint the other way. During this time you will also need to worry about other mechanics.
Running away from the attack for 5 seconds and then using the Crimsonwhorl Bubbletear physick can nullify the attack. |
| Flying Wing Spears | Dives into the ground and comes out flying, firing its Wing Spears while doing so. | Same strategy as above. |
| Sword Swing-Smash | Swings its sword twice before grabbing the blade and smashing it into the ground. | |
| Divebomb | Flops on its belly, flies for a short bit, then crashes into the ground. | |
| Nebula (Line) | Shoots out a long row of clouds that looks like a galaxy, which then explode one after the other. | At <50% health, he can combine this with other attacks like Flaming Sword Beams, which will be hidden by the cloud. Make sure you always have a clear line of sight on him during this attack. |
| Flying Sword Crescents | Its sword catches on fire and it swings forward 4 times, sending a crescent of magic with each swing. The last two swings will be delayed. (The last crescent can diverge and hit your cooperator/Ash summon) | Doge roll into the Blast. Blocking without a Holy and physical defense shield will hurt. The first two shots are right after each other, so roll and then roll again right away. |
| Flaming Stab | Sets its sword on fire and stabs the ground, creating an explosion when it pulls the sword out again. | Run away to avoid the incoming explosion. |
| Spin Swing | Spins in a circle and swings its sword. | Dodge through the move and attack it. |
| Flaming Sword Combo | Sets its sword on fire and alternates between rapid swings and downward stabs before doing a large, angular spin-swing. | |
| Wave of Gold | Charges sword, swings and puts a large amount of damage in the shape of a cone at the player. If caught in the cone, the closer to the tip you are the more damage you take. | This attack seems to do multiple chunks of damage, from what I can tell the front of the cone will 1 hit 60 vigor. The only success I've had is dodging half of the damage rolling right as it explodes and being out of the front of the cone more towards the middle. |
| Dive | Dives into the ground and reappears a short distance away. | Chase it down. |
Elden Beast Lore, Notes & Other Trivia
- Elden Beast's lyrics are mostly untranslatable, this was confirmed by Youtuber and Latin student Antonius Tertius, he contacted the music producers and singers of the game and published the official lyrics and backstage information on Youtube.
- The Hungarian singer Anna Dinyés is the voice of the soprano the player hears in the Elden Beast theme, this was revealed by Youtuber Antonius Tertius who contacted the singers of Elden Ring.
- Elden Beast is the vassal beast of the Greater Will.
- Bug: If Tarnished is grabbed with Divine Punishment while performing an animation that lowers his postion (f.e. during casting Pest Threads), attack will deal no damage. Grabbed target will not move upwards, but will stay very close to the ground.
- This boss was nerfed in Patch 1.04 (NG cycle variation only).

This is the only fight in the entire game that felt genuinely unfair for melee builds. Every single other boss or encounter in this game that wrecked my **** left me feeling like I needed to improve and that the game was letting me know. Elden Beast, on the other hand, seems programmed from the ground up to **** you as hard as possible, like the game is punishing you for wanting to finish it.
For one, the arena is absurdly big, and EB makes damn sure he covers every square inch of it so better have lots of stamina! And that's just to reach wherever he decided to **** off to after hitting him once. Then there's the non-physical attacks. You have laserbeam "**** you" button stars. Then there's flame of go **** yourself. And don't forget about "this toothpick is too short so enjoy infinite range projectile spam". Finally, there's my personal favorite: "figure out how the **** to dodge these rings because the game designers themselves probably don't even know"
On NG+3, EB just spams AOE and holy damage attacks. He runs away as soon as you get one hit on him. Rinse and repeat. I'm over it. What a massive letdown for what would've been the best game I've played to date.

This boss absolutely ****ing sucks. Who the hell thought having the AI spend the entire fight running away from you was a good idea? Seriously, this isn't even a fight. It's a sprinting simulator where you occasionally get an attack or two in. Radagon is fun. EB can suck my elden nuts

It's not hard, it's just very poorly designed.
Gather your talismans, lord's divine fortification, stamina regens, and go whack him. Around NG5 or 6 I stopped caring about keeping the mimic tear alive, just stack phys and holy resist and deal with the endurance match

This was a great boss fight!
I didn't get to learn it because I managed to defeat it on my 4th try(Radagon took me days in contrast) I lived the arena, the music... even though all the casting it does makes for a cluster****, I had so much fun figuring out how to duck & weave.
Great design!
I picked a **** ending though!, shoulda gone simp!
Right onto malenia then its ng+
Wish me luck!
You've seen bosses that have infinite stamina or infinite poise.
Now behold the boss with INFINITE ADAPTABILITY!

Im in the minority, but I genuinely love this boss, and can not understand most of people's hate for this boss. Most of the criticisms I see just aren't that good. it's design is amazing, it's music is amazing, it's arena is amazing, and gorgeous. Cinematically speaking this fight is top tier.
People whine so much about it running away, but it's really not that bad. The majority of its attacks are very well balanced with how telegraphed they are. Much better than other end game bosses. There's a little bit of bs with how he combos his attacks sometimes, but otherwise generally fine. And I honestly think it's a good thing the boss is mobile as he is. Large bosses always have camera issues, and his move set being primarily ranged means the camera doesn't screw you nearly as often as other bosses. It works well for the type of boss he is.
People who hate on the boss for it's design, and less "epic" music are just incapable of understanding why this is the final boss from a story perspective because they don't pay attention to lore, and they'd rather just yell about the funny space slug running away rather than appreciating a really unique boss. Plenty of other bosses have projectile spam attacks, and still get praised. Elden ring players are just hypocritical, and often small minded. Controversial, mean opinion. I know.

I wonder if it would have been better if Radagon was the final boss, and the Elden Beast was an optional boss after radagon for a different ending (a bit like The Radiance in Hollow Knight). Because fighting Radagon every time turns tedious and made me actually start disliking the Radagon fight.
I think both fights are quite good - I don't mind fighting the Elden Beast, but I do mind fighting Radagon over and over because I lost to the cosmic slug. Redoing Radagon due to the Elden Beast feels like the game is undoing your hard-earned victory.
There are few things more satisfying than beating a difficult boss (especially a final one) on 0 flasks and 1 hit/combo from death. However, due to the following Elden Beast fight, you can't just beat Radagon - you have to stomp him. This means that I have beaten Radagon of the Golden Order, the final boss of Elden Ring, more times than I have beaten Margit, or Godrick.
Then when I think back on my victory run of the final fight, I remember nothing of the Radagon fight, all the (successful) attempts blur together and instead of thinking about the the amazing back and forth I had with this boss, all I can think is: "Well, it sure was annoying to kill him everythime just so I am allowed to attempt the Beast again."
That just didn't feel as fun to me as it could have been. I must say though, the music and the arena for both these fights are beautiful, and the cinematics of the fights do leave a really good impression.

So, canonically, the Elden Beast's defense stats imply that the ideal god slaying weapon is just a regular physically damaging weapon potentially buffed with lightning (the arena is water so slightly more damaging than the other 3)... Dragon King's Cragblade it is.
- Anonymous
"The water in the arena increases Lightning Damage by 10% and decreases Fire Damage by 10%" Does this mean the actual defense numbers are Lightning 30 and Fire 50 or are they already accounted for?

Shard Spiral is pretty good against it, due to its size. Goes through it for quite some time. Try casting as many as you can immediatly when the fight starts and it will melt 30-50% of its health bar. Repeat whenever that damn thing decides to stay in one place for more than two seconds again.

I was really cautious of this fight for my first run, as I heard all he did was run away, so I wasn't prepared for how beautiful it is. It's just so damn majestic. I don't even think having to run to him was that bad, it sure got repetitive but I actually had way more fun that I thought I would with this boss.
My level 218 Mage...Finally did it; Used Ranni's Moon, Comet Azur, Carian Regal Scepter, Mimic Tear with Talismans...Graven Mass, Pearldrake+1, Haligdrake+2, Dragoncrest Greatshield. On to new game and looking forward to Baldurs Gate and Dragons Dogma. If you stay away and then run in at the right time; Rannis Moon and then blast him with Comet Azur. Ending is a bit disappointing for such a long game.

Funny how I found Radagon much harder than this boss, yet Elden Beast is somehow a thousand times more annoying and frustrating to fight to the point that he actually turns Radagon's fight into a chore since you have to fight him again every single time you die to the Elden Beast, I wouldn't mind it if Elden Beast was just a spectacle fight that was meant to be very flashy and climactic but wasn't really hard at all, or if you didn't have to fight Radagon again after beating him and you'd go straight to the Elden Beast on every attempt afterwards, or even give Radagon a second phase where he regenerates his health and gains more moves or changes his moveset or something... but no, it just had to be an unnecessarily tedious marathon where you have to fight a difficult and enjoyable boss that would be a great fight to end the game on but you have to fight an annoying tedious cosmic Loch Ness Monster that runs away constantly while spamming you with magic every single time afterwards and thus totally ruins the entire experience didn't it? Man this was really such a garbage boss to end the game on, a frustrating tedious letdown of a final boss.

So for my first playthrough, he mostly stayed in melee range and preferred his melee attacks. On my second playthrough, this thing spent literal minutes just running away over and over and over every time I got in range to hit him once after dodging hundreds of long range spells, it was horrendously bad, so bad. Even though I am much higher level on my second playthrough it probably took twice as long to kill him on my first simply because of AI behavior. Depending on how RNG goes this fight can either be easy or easy but frustratingly tedious with tons of chasing after him and running out of stamina after running to him and can only attack like once before he just runs away again.

Beat with Black Flame Tornado on Pike, RL1 (fire scorpion talisman). Crimsonwhorl for Elden Stars (mixed with Flame-shrouded Tear) and punish his 3 hit sword combo (the one with the close two-handed smash). Roll behind him, through the attacks - L2. Good luck!

I genuinely love this boss. It's like fighting a zoner in a fighting game, getting in is the real battle. But when you succeed, you can do a lot of damage. It has good area denial, but terrible defense because there's no "get off me" moves like Godrick's Stormcaller, Noble Presence or Radagon's stomp so you can really abuse its blind spots and even get in 2-3 charged attacks.

Actually very underrated boss fight and one of my favorites. Of course it takes time to chase this guy and wait for his scripted "Elden Ring" attacks to end, but he also has really huge openings, which is not peculiar for ER bosses. His cutscene, OST and attack animations are gorgeous, as in the case with Radagon. The fact that you should sprint some of his attacks instead of classic spam rolling adds more diversity to the fight. Elden Beast is more "calm" boss in contrast to Radagon, who is very aggresive opponent, who has a difficult moveset with little openings and likes to spam projectiles/spears in your face. Athough Elden Stars and Wave of Gold are undisputed drawbacks of this fight, nigh undodgeable attacks are not fun for sure

Man, I'm so bad at this. Was getting whopped, so I spent hours gathering the great hood, crucible tree & tree sentinel armour for all the holy protection, plus haligdrake+2, dragoncrest greatshield, & green turtle talismans, armed my fully upgraded godskin peeler & twinned knight swords with fire & lightning ashes, and even spent a while farming runes to level up some of my stats. I've read the EB move-set and watched a bunch of people doing "how to easily beat elden beast" videos on YouTube (remembering to roll into the attacks, rather than away from them). Brought in my mimic and powered up Golden Vow... Can get Radagon most of the time with a couple of heals, but am still getting my @$$ handed to me with the big glowing whale in the sky that shoots stars at me. Far out! How are all these "this is how you do it" people so good at this?!?! I suck, big time.

Especially when other people here said that it can be combined with other broken moves. Especially after Radagon i can't really learn its moves properly and die much more than i should.

Bro this boss is so cancerous on ng+7 a single thing of elden stars does like 100 damage and it’s undodgable bs and you can’t heal because if you stood still elden stars would kill you in literally 2 seconds it’s so annoying who thought of that attack and what was wrong with them

Just completed a Dex arcane solo run, after doing a str/faith previously. This duo were mental. I felt like Radagon was insane at times and then was depleted taking on the Beast. That elden stars /rune arc projectile combo was killing me. Ended up with a near flawless fight to win relying on Ice spear for Radagon and Black Flame tornado for EB. I was lucky at times but was so satisfied when I jumped the 3 ring attack to finish it off. Had a real sense of achievement at the end of it.

Y'all are so bad at this game, even a year after release, yet talk like you have all the answers. Actually grating.

It is almost impossible to sprint from his rain of holy spears no matter which direction you run in co-op.

“ERUDEN BEESU” says Miyazaki angrily, after chasing it to the other side of the arena for the 20th time.

if ur a sorcerer build, i recommend using carian regal scepter and spamming spinning weapon on him, it does insane damage with 99 int, plus use glintstone spiral as the spell will continue doing damage to him as long as it keeps going through him bc of his huge hitbox

So why can this thing cast Elden Stars, Golden Wing and Wave of Gold within 3 seconds of each other? At that point there's nothing you can do because running gets you hit by Wave and dodging Wave gets you stunlocked by Stars and Spears.
Did they just give up when making this boss? So many runs ruined by the RNG on whether he'll spam tracking moves or not.
Didn't expect dung
