Melee Users
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight is the boss encountered at the end of Castle Ensis exploration. You will find the entrance to their arena next to the Castle-Lord's Chamber Site of Grace on the East Wing. This boss can switch between Physical and Elemental damage, which also gives them Ranged and Melee attacks. At first, the boss will sparingly use their Elemental Attacks and will mainly use 2 Greatswords to inflict damage. Despite their size, they can move quickly and are mobile enough to close the gap with just one jump.
When it comes to their Physical Attacks, you can use a Shield to protect yourself from incoming damage or dodge by rolling to either side. The boss favors slashing damage which makes them look like they're dancing. Up close, her movement is fluid and lets them move around the arena making it difficult to damage them, while they maintain being on the offensive. The boss can be staggered with a heavy attack, and then follow it up with an animated move by pressing R1. This allows you to deal more damage when you break their poise.
They key to winning this fight is patience. The boss has a long combo that makes it difficult to get near her and chip away at her health. When you see an opening, always opt for a heavy attack for a chance to stagger her. The second phase of the fight begins when her health drops below 50%. This is characterized by the change in their Greatswords by infusing each of them with Magic and Fire elements. The greatswords will glow orange and blue alongside her, and her new moves will be infused with the elements. For melee users, you can strategically use a shield to block incoming attacks. You can even summon Mimic Tear to fight alongside you, or opt to summon Leda here. It is recommended to only have 1 Summon so the boss will not have a dramatic increase in damage.
This boss becomes more dangerous during the second phase, and most of the moves become more difficult to dodge. The dodge frames become shorter and the AoE of skills become larger. The fire element creates the widest AoE when using the Sleight of Sword - Fire. This also creates smaller rings of fire in the outer AoE but they don't deal as much damage in the center of the skill. Ideally, you can roll backward twice to get yourself out of the area. On the other hand, the Magic-imbued greatsword can reach far and wide and lets her fire a projectile that follows your movements. When you see her cast the huge Magical Greatsword, be prepared for the first downward slash, this is immediately followed by a sweep across the arena slash which can reach nearly the entire room. Make sure to dodge early for this attack.
After a while, this boss can even transform into a Moon, which protects them from incoming damage and is closely followed by a plunge attack. When you get hit by the falling moon, you will get stunned and you will not be able to control your character. This essentially prevents you from rolling away, and can even finish you off if you don't have enough HP. This is when the Pearldrake Talisman comes in handy, by reducing incoming Elemental Damage. As the fight comes to an end, the boss will alternate between Physical and Elemental Attacks. Always pay attention to her greatswords, because this will tell you what her next move is. When you defeat Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, a new Site of Grace will appear within her arena.
Magic and Ranged Users
Strategy Writeup for Magic Users. This is a work in progress. Feel free to add helpful information here.
Sorcery users can cast Terra Magica at the door before entering, then cast two Ranni's Dark Moon back to back for great damage, chill, and to reduce the boss' magic resistance. Throughout the fight, one of the best spells to use is Night Comet, as Rellana will (most of the time) not dodge it, and it deals great damage when cast while holding a Staff of Loss on the other hand. Radagon Icon's increase in casting speed is very useful in this fight.
Incantation users can make use of tanky spirit ash summons to keep Rellana still. Meanwhile, the summoner can cast rot breath and swarm of flies from a distance. The goal is to defeat her quickly, before she uses the more damaging abilities in her second phase. It is possible to defeat her before she summons the twin moons. If she does summon them, remember to jump three times (a third time when she lands).
Rellana, Twin Moon Knight Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Description | Counter |
| Blade Dance | Her bread and butter combo starter. Jumping to the side, she will do a spin slash followed by a quick stab. From then, she can follow with a myriad of attacks. pay attention to what she does! | Roll into the attack to dodge both the spin and the stab, guaranteeing a roll attack should your weapon be fast enough. Alternatively, you can roll away to disengage, allowing you to recuperate. |
| Glintblade Phalanx | Similar to the skill of the same name, Rellana will only uses this when at a distance. There are two variations to this move: Upper glintblade: just like the skill of the same name, she will summon three glintblades atop her head, which will automatically track the player after a while. She can still attack while the skill is active. Lower glintblade: a direct attack, she will summon three darker glintblades in front of her, which will track the player with no delay. She can follow with a two strike lunge. and may sometimes even extend the lunge into a combo (to confirm). During phase 2, both moves are stronger, summoning more glintblades. |
For upper glintblade, be very careful to not get caught in the middle of a combo while the glintblades track you, especially in phase 2. For lower glintblade, an optimal punish will have you roll into them, followed by a run towards the right side of the boss, allowing you to dodge her lunge and land a fully charged heavy attack. |
| Giant Carian Greatsword | Similar to the skill Carian Greatsword, Rellana lifts one of her swords, charging up a massive glintsone blade. she then swipes it down, and after a brief pause, performs a sweep. The attack nearly covers the whole boss room: do not try to run away. she will only do this after around 30% to 40% of her health is gone | The first move can be avoided if you are far enough, allowing you to recuperate (if you react in time), but the sweep is nearly unavoidable. The swipe is easy to dodge, but the sweep must be preemptively dodged. the attack leaves Rellana open, allowing either a heavy attack or a charged one if your weapon is fast enough. |
| Heavy Attack | After performing a combo of Sword Slash, Rellana ends it with a Heavy Attack where you see them pulling back holding the sword behind them to strike forward. | Dodge by rolling to either side or toward the boss. |
| Magic Arc | Rellana crouches while holding the sword behind her; after a second the sword will start to glow bright, and then fire a Magic Arc towards the player's direction. | Move to either side, then roll just before the arc hits you. |
| Six-Sword Magic | The boss waves her right arm to create 3 Magic Swords, then repeats the same move to create another set of Magic Swords. This magic tracks the player's movement and applies damage on contact. | Dodge by rolling to either side. |
| Sleight of Sword - Flame | Using the Fire-imbued Greatsword, Rellana will make a twisting move to create a tornado-like flame around him. This move damages multiple times to everything within the AoE and creates smaller rings of fire in the outer area. Rellana can repeat this move up to 3 times. | Keep out of her attack range by rolling away from her. You can roll backward twice to keep a safe distance. |
| Sleight of Sword - Magic | Using the magic-imbued Greatsword, Rellana will make a series of slashes in different directions. After about 4 slashes, the boss raises her sword over his head and strikes a heavy attack, and adds an arc projectile that travels directly in front of him. | Keep out of her attack range by rolling away from her. You can also use a shield to block incoming attacks or reduce incoming damage. Alternatively using the Raptor of the Mists ash of war makes the double horizontal slashes very easy to dodge. |
| Sword Slash | She slashes with both greatswords in different directions. | Keep out of her attack range by rolling away from her. Roll backward to disengage. |
| Sword Stab | After jumping back to disengage, the boss will lunge forward to close the gap and stab with the left sword. | Dodge by rolling to your left side. |
| Phase 2: Moon and Fire |
At around 60% to 50% health, Rellana will back up. She will then inbue both her swords with Glinstone Magic and Mesmer's Flame, respectively. She will then usually use either Sleight of Sword - Fire when you are close to her, or Sleight of Sword - Magic when afar. This is however not guaranteed and she may very well use any other combo. Be careful! |
If you anticipate this move, you can hit Rellana with two fully charged heavy attacks! the moves possess a small hitbox though, so try not to get hit. |
| Twin Moons | Rellana's signature move. She will only do this when at low health. After raising into the air, she will summon two moons. She then smashes them to the ground, before lunging down herself. All three attacks create a massive shockwave which will lift you into the air and combo, usually a guaranteed kill. | Either run away to disengage, or jump the shockwaves to guarantee a heavy jump attack, should you be close enough. (Using the Raptor of the Mists ash of war can consistently dodge the last two explosions if you can dodge the first one.) |

I helped about 11 people with the set and weapons the twin blades at +4 and only help them beat it about 5/11, really redundant because she is resistant, I was Freyja, and was pretending to be a rare to see npc that you can only summon and then be fought by, she would be enraged by the frenzied flame, which corrupted her and make her invade you and try to kill you, she uses Rellana's set and weapons and I made my character female to match the Tarnished I am(coming from a male).

For those who play with a slow weapon... it's accepting that you're going to take hits every time you try to throw one.
Rellana programmer set times and reactions only someone who uses dexterity weapons. I think this is the point of Rellana unbalance.

Got frustrated after trying to use unsheathe on this boss using nagakiba.
Switched to +25 Misericorde and Brass Shield with golden parry.
From neutral position, she does three kinds of attacks in the first phase.
She jumps left and right like Malenia and can be parried without difficulty.
She does a standing left hand poke or slash which was too fast for me to parry so I guarded it then parried the second or third attack of that string.
In the second phase she does the above there attacks as well but she favors the standing fast slash and poke for which the best strategy is to guard the first move and then try and parry somewhere in the rest of that combo.

Beat her on a str/arc build with Occult Bloodfiend's Fork and the Erdtree Greatshield. She seems rather weak to both pierce and bleed so that's a really good weapon to bring there. The greatshield allows you to poke her and block her lightning fast combos and the same, and Golden Retaliation provides great counter to her magic slashes.

This was quite a pain to do summonless. I was doing well a lot of the times only to get 1 shotted by the triple slash in phase 2, sometimes paired with her glintblades. After 50+ tries I finally got her. Lvl 170, scaditree lvl 3, double heavy uchigatana.
In my last couple of tries I switched to the stormblade AoW, works incredibly well. Always hits and can stagger. Can also punish her when you are just out of reach or when she is casting her glintblades. Keep a medium distance from her at all times

Antspur rapier with seppuka on it and a mimic with the same thing = boss dead by the time she charges up her fire sword, she immediately went to the triple moon for me, popped my opaline tear just before it. I cast an Erdtree blessing for good measure just before the fight

Some of her safe attack openings in phase 2 (atleast using a great katana)
-1 running r1 after her 5 part moonlight greatsword attack if you roll through the final cast.
-1 uncharged r2 after she jumps at you while using carian phalanx (jump and attack from her left side)
-1 r1 after she does two quick attacks followed by her rolling catching cross cut (attacking from her left side again)

This community cracks me up in here. If someone says the boss wasn't too hard for them and they beat it by doing 'this', 'that', 'etc' -- that person will get a TON of down-votes.
However... if someone says the boss was challenging and it took them 3 days, no sleep, and they ended up soloing it with a straight sword -- they will get a million up-votes.
It's like this community isn't happy unless you suffer. It's very odd, lol.

After trying to learn her patterns and failing miserably, I switched to a big hammer with Wild Strikes and the Opaline Hardtear. A lot of her swings miss when you are close and you can tank the rest. No great rune, no summons and no skill needed on my lvl 139 Str build.

Fair fight up until she does her bullshit twin moon attack. Always fun when you have a boss pattern down to a T and then they decide to drop a dogshit AoE attack that combos you and ends the fight right there if you don't land the astronomically small timing window to hop out of it.
- Anonymous
Great boss, reminiscent of Pontiff Sulyvan. Extremely rewarding to fight, and her phase 2 moves are absolutely sick (they killed at least a dozen times). Her phase 2 transition doesn't seem have any additional damage resistance, so I was eventually able to kill her before she entered the second phase after breaking her stance with Scad +6 or 7. Bleed helped me chunk her HP quite effectively.
The moon crash attack made my jaw drop

If someone needs an easy method to dodge the wide arc projectiles ("sleight") after she transitions into her second phase, just jump on the first one (this will also avoid the second one) and then after a little delay dodge two times in a quick succession for 3rd and 4rd projectile. The last one you just dodge normally at the last second. You won't take any damage this way, you don't need mist raptor or anything else, just jump and dodge.

Gave up on dodging her long combos after a while and started parrying. Wasn't easy, but felt very rewarding after I got the hang of it.

Is a great boss, lovely even. So, here are some advices that works very well against her. I beat the boss with a two handed UGreatsword without summons, spirit or any status effect, so this knowledge may come handy regardless of your build.
1) The giant carian sword attack is just about timming and not really about positioning, hence you can get closer to her to get a very good window. Same about the Twin moon attack, get closer and dont be afraid, as same as the carian sword is just timing, just know when to jump, which isnt really difficult.
2) The magic slashes seems harder that they are on the second phase. What I do is always run to left on the first four slashes, jump on the third, the fourth will miss, and go towards her while avoiding the final one. You can get a very good window after that.
3) Memorize what she gonna do, once you see that the extensions are normally very straightfoward, you will gain a huge advantage predicting her.
4) Running to the sides to avoid sword proyectiles is often a good strategy, as makes you room to avoid other attacks.
5) If you are aggresive enough you will break the stance, which you should be once you memorize the patterns. What I do is attack her with an light R2 everytime I have the chance, that with the axe talisman is very good. What I noted though is that newer weaponry such as LGreatswords doesnt have very high stance damage, so better see them as very long standart swords.
In my opinion? Very hard yet great boss fight, although requires a bit of multimanaging, is not something we havent seen with another bosses like Loretta.

Ok here is a strat for low level mage glass cannons: I'm level 100 with only 24 vigor and 60 int so what I did was summon the dung eater spirit to tank while I myself stay at medium distance and spam Glintstone Icecrag (you have to be close for it to work) every time the frost builds up it eats like 10-20% of health. Also like other people said, staying close prevents some BS 1 hit wounder moves from happening and you can be done in less than 2 minutes if RNG favors you.
Gear used:
Academy Glintstone Staff +25
Twinbird Kite Shield +25
Ritual Sword Talisman
Radagon Icon
Magic Scorpion Charm
Graven-Mass Talisman
No armor
Also don't get hit because any and I mean any magic attack is instant kill. You can only survive what your shield blocks.

I didn't see it in the notes but there is also a pool of water in the center of the arena. Which if I'm not wrong will increase her fire resistance, and also yours. It's a good place to be to reduce 2nd phase damage if you get hit. Also means that fire weapons are probably the worst choice in this fight. Also, I think lightning attacks are buffed in water too.

Don't know who put "weak to slash" in her info. She is not. She is quite resistant to it.
She is, however, vulnarable to strike. So someone who can change this info please. This boss is hard enough as she is without people giving out the wrong info.

If you have the Carian Shield with Magic enhancement, in a good distance from her you can easily block Rellana's Twin Moons, with minimal damage, you need good stamina, tho.

Jump 3x to avoid the moon attack, most attacks are easier to avoid by rolling into her, not away

Much easier with powerstanced lightning great-weapons. If you're lucky it might even rain in the arena for that little bit of extra damage.
I ran 2 +20 omen cleavers with jump gear (body, talisman) and defensive talismans (physical, magical, crimson flask boost). Was able win at RL 95, Blessing 2.
Play aggressively for stance breaks. I struggle with the fast projectiles after her phase change, so I ended up just running up to force the flame move, tanked that first hit, and dps raced her to the end of the fight. Moon drop is jumpable, and you can use raptor jump skill for easier timing.
- Anonymous
Use deflecting and opaline hardtears and silver mirrorshield. The opaline defenses on top of the mirrorshield’s really high magic resist helps you effortlessly facetank even her heaviest hit, i took a tiny itty bitty sliver of damage from her moon blasts, and even less from the sword beams. Deflecting then more than makes up for low guard boost, as long as you time right. Still gotta pick and choose your blocks though, to pull off a guard counter at the end of a chain. Pull off enough guard counters in a short enough timeframe for a stance break and crit. If youre feeling lucky grab the talisman from Belurat that boosts attack after a crit to pull off some nasty big skill hits afterward. Try to sneak one in during phase shift as well. As long as your dodges and blocks are well timed, you should be clear.
Shes like malenia but good, cus theres less bullshit, what little bullshit remains is nullified by a good shield, which wont heal her for no reason.

What worked for me: Milady with wing stance and using the R2 version. Avoids many of her attacks and with the right talismans does 3k+ damage per hit. Took 12 of them in ng+5 (along with one critical hit).

Yeah that's the new longest I've ever spent on a souls boss. Previous was demon of hatred from sekiro taking me an hour, this chick took double that lol
Was able to beat her at 5 scadutree and level 130 going for poise break and jumping attacks with 2h giant crusher. Jump stack talisman + jump attack chest. Stance break and charged attack tears. Was able to consistently get full charged off after a critical from stance break and when she changes phases. Got 3 stance breaks in total, swap to misericorde for the critical
Also tried going 1h with heavy magic block shield and doing guard counters instead of jump attacks, kept getting her almost dead but dying to second phase combos. Probably could've done it that way eventually as I improved on dodging her second phase combos but it was safer to just dodge everything then just attack instead of eating the chip damage from magic and fire

Maybe not the best of advice but I highly recommend learning to parry her with either a small shield or a dagger. She's relentless like Malenia except without low poise to compensate. So by parrying you can consistently give yourself windows to attack. Just fish for the side jump slash, delayed heavies and when she does the heavy slashes dodge the first and parry the second. It took me a lot of effort but after a while I was able to get attack windows by interrupting her unending combos

i just beat her, good a good few tries. shes probably my favorite boss fight in the whole soulsborne elden sekiro series. lightning works really well, and i used my physick with lightning cracked tear and stonebarb. boiled crab and a phys dam negations and/or magic dam negation def help too. i mostly got in hits playing really strictly at a short medium range. be defensive unless you know you can dodge good. yall got this

Magic user: Stopped summoning Leda Needle Knight, made her health pool huge. Used Greatshield Soldier +10. Lvl 160, NG, V:60 I:80. Blessing 3. Spells: Terra Magica, Comet Azur, Ranni Dark Moon, Stars of Ruin
Talismans:
Godfrey Icon
Graven Mass
Dragoncrest Greatshield
Radagon Icon
Physick:
Cerulean Hidden
Magic Shourding Cracked
Weapon:
Lusat's
Carian Regal
Could have used Lusats Crown for an additional buff to Stars of Ruin.
Strat: Enter fog wall, move toward her to keep from getting the 'stand at door get one shot' attack, dodge attacks and look for opening to call your Greatshields summon. The run I beat her on was actually terrible cos I had to drink twice from getting hit so many times. Called the summons, they aggro'ed and held it, cast Dark Moon providing the debuff to Rellana. In the center of the arena cast Terra Magic, drank Physick, nuked her with Comet Azur. With a little luck on RNG for Rellana's positioning, the summons will have basically blocked her in, Comet Azur mostly lands and end of phase 1, first half of her health.
With Rellana still mostly held by the summons I just began spamming Ruin of Stars and it ate away at her health with a quickness. Spammed it as rapidly as I could, the spell had good tracking on her, had to drink my blue juice and re apply the floor paint buff, but just kept at it with Ruin of Stars as fast as possible. She took out the Greatshields with the double moon AoEs, i had to trackstar, but Ruin of Stars eventually brought the last bit of health off. Did it on the second try of this strat.
Tried a few runs with Cannon of Haima, Night Comet, Glint blade Trio, Carian Ret, Greatblade Phalanx etc, other staffs, summoning Leda, using Tiche, but the high dps/ mobility of Stars of Ruins did the trick. Good luck Astrologer.

If you need to postpone her fight and come back later when you’ve collected more Scadutrees you can skip Castle Ensis by skirting down the path to the right of the Castle Front grace and follow it past the swamp. You’ll find a Spiritspring that takes you up to Fort Reprimand and thus Scadu Altus, unlocking more of the map.

Fingerprint+scholar shield, frozen lightning, amd the good-ol tried and true stone of gurranq into lightning spear is all you need for this fight. Its hard to stay buffed but you can pretty much avoid taking major damage and that stupid little triple moon disco ball drop crap she does can be blocked almost 100%.

Interesting how she has a similar tall thin build to Renalla. I'd always assumed Renalla was big because of the great rune but I guess it's just a Carian thing? Makes you wonder if their inhuman looks, affinity for magic/glintstone (which comes from space) and obsession with the moon might mean they're aliens.
Now that I thinkg about it - we at least know Renalla has pale skin as well. Alabaster Lords are magic, tall and thin, and hav pale skin. Caria is a matriarchy and we never see any males of their family in portraits are anything...I wonder if Renalla and Ranella could be Alabaster Ladies?

Before second phase I went with a blood loss Claymore to poke her between the little gaps after finishing her combos. Starting second phase, I used Rotten Crystal Sword, just to rot her up, and then I switch to a Cold Greatsword, same strategy, poke her between gaps. No Scadutree Fragments used, it took me like 50 tries, It's the first boss in all Elden Ring that made me switch to weapons I don't use against bosses, and to really think on a strategy. I commonly go with Meteoric Blade and Cold Golem's Halberd, that's it.

She is actually really susceptible to bleed and poison proced both multiple times in one fight.

Took me 46 tries, more than Malenia (no summons/MP, no magic). My biggest tip for this fight is positioning. If you're close to her, she will almost always open with a dodge and double sword attack into a combo, and if you dodge the opening swing you can kinda just back away and look for your punish window.
The hardest attacks for me were her long elemental combo in Phase 2, and her phase transition "Sleight of Sword" ranged move. For the latter, sprint away from her and to the side to avoid the first two slashes, then jump the third horizontal one. The fourth should go over your head. Then simply dodge the last one. For the long combo, just lock on and roll around her to the left. Most of her swings will go over your head. When she does a double-handed overhead with a magic projectile, that's your punish. She can also finish with a crossed-swords slash that is also a punish.
I beat her at +5 Scadutree blessing using a +25 Lightning Milady. I played it very safe and only used regular heavy attacks. The weapon has low poise damage so I never got a stance break. You can do it!!

3 tips:
The twin moons creates a SHOCKWAVE, it doesn't instantly put a hitbox across the entire arena floor. You may have to delay your dodge a bit based on distance.
When she uses giant carian great sword, you CANNOT jump the horizontal sweep. I've tried like 8 times with different things, and I always got the same result.
One of her combo enders is a diagonal slash with both swords. She may follow up with another slash from the other side, but there's a significant gap, long enough for me to get a light greatsword r2 and recover in time to dodge. If you dodge it, you should always be able to swing (outside maybe colossal weapons). If you get hit by the first slash, however, do NOT spam dodge. The second slash is specifically timed to roll catch. Good luck.
You can Scarlet aoenia early - easy while an ash is around and wasn't getting staggered out of it even solo
Spelldrake talisman 3 was helpful on the full moon spell... if like me you whiff timing of a Crimsonwhorl Buttletear which would absorb allllll it's damage. Whilst the fire tornado is much easier to dodge
. As she punishes heals quite effectively, crimson seed talisman can be useful to not come out lower.
Finally, parry isn't too hard and not risky in first phase specially. Use Varian Retaliation parry skill and you not only get more parry frames, but can block some glint blades and make them your own

IS optional you don't have to fight her to get to the other side of Castle Ensis
There is a spirit spring that lets you bypass.

Despite this page saying that she´s strong to hemorrhage, I found an extremely easy success with Bleed build (Rivers of Blood and Swarm of Flies) + Mimic Tear. We absolutely melted her first try with this setup.

Eternal sleep is actually oddly clutch against Rellana. It will only stagger her for about 1.5-2 seconds, however, if it procs at the right time, it can completely stop her from casting her spells, phase transitioning (briefly) and using her Weapon Skill. If she's mid combo, she'll continue until she's done and then get staggered, but will have the purple haze on her the entire time.
