Lore

Location

• Elden Beast appears immediately upon defeating Radagon of the Golden Order at the Elden Throne in Deathtouched Catacombs. The Elden Throne boss arena is accessible once you’ve defeated Godfrey, the First Elden Lord / Hoarah Loux, Warrior. A set of steps going upwards will appear in their boss arena, which is found near the Queen’s Bedchamber site of grace in Leyndell, Ashen Capital.

Notable Info

The Elden Beast has a lot of health, but if you’ve done even a little bit of exploration and levelling up in between doing the main storyline you should have some decent weapons, spells and other equipment to deal some good damage to him. For example, the spirit ashes, Mimic Tear and Black-Knife Tiche are available in the mid game and if you’ve fully upgraded them, they can be powerful (sometimes even overpowered) assets in the fight. Having a good summon is always recommended as not only can they assist in damaging the enemy, but they will also serve as a great distraction and target of a boss’ attacks. This is especially great in boss fights with big enemies like the Elden Beast who often have huge and difficult to avoid attacks.

The summon AI is pretty smart as well, so you don’t have to worry too much about your Mimic Tear or any other summon doing really stupid things – they aren’t perfect, of course, but they will heavy attack when they see an opportunity and use any ranged attacks (if they have them) when they’re further away from the boss.

Even though the Elden Beast doesn’t have a second phase, you’ll need to bear in mind that he is technically a second phase to Radagon and there’s no rest or site of grace between him and the Elden Beast. This means you won’t be able to replenish your flasks and so, if you’ve had a rough fight against Radagon, you may be at a disadvantage going into your fight with the Elden Beast. This also includes using the summoning bell! Since the Elden Beast is part 2 of the final boss fight, you will only get one summon for both Radagon and Elden Beast – if you have a super tanky Mimic Tear you might find it useful to summon it during the Radagon fight. If you’re finding Elden Beast’s targeted attacks too powerful, consider saving your spirit ash summon until you’ve defeated Radagon. Just remember that the summoning bell can take a couple of seconds to use and you might leave yourself vulnerable to being caught in a powerful attack if you don’t time it right.
