How to beat Rellana Twin Moon Knight in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree FromSoftwareRellana, Twin Moon Knight, is the second major Legacy Dungeon boss in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. She\u2019s also the first major test of your skills, here\u2019s how to take her down. After defeating the Dancing Lion and making your way through Castle Ensis in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, a powerful Carian Knight will eventually confront you \u2013 and they possess a very familiar fighting style and name. Rellana, not to be confused with Rennala, is the younger sister of the defeated Carian Queen. Now in the service of Messmer the Impaler, this warrior princess stands in your way, and as this is Elden Ring, there\u2019s only one way things can be settled. Here\u2019s how to defeat Rellana in Shadow of the Ertree. Rellana location in Shadow of the Erdtree Finding Rellana is actually quite simple, just work your way through the Castle Ensis until you reach the Castle Lord\u2019s Site of Grace. Rellana is located up the small staircase to the right. You\u2019ll know a boss is coming up due to the gold summon sign on the ground before the entryway. How to beat Rellana Twin Moon Knight Rellana is a powerful knight, lightning quick, and can not only cut you down with her blade, but she covers the arena in AOE attacks and can jump from one side of the battlefield to another in the blink of an eye. Her first sword is a nod to her Carian lineage and is loaded with none elemental magic (known as Glintstone in Elden Ring) while her other sword is inflicts fire damage. Rellana is also resistant to magic and fire damage, so if you\u2019re a caster that primarily makes use of these spells, consider switching out to lightning attacks, as this is something she\u2019s weak against. If you\u2019re a melee fighter, consider infusing your weapon with lightning to do more damage against her. If you\u2019re a build that uses shields, then consider bringing Carian Retaliation with you, as this will allow you to repel her spells, giving you an advantage. Only try this though if you\u2019re already planning on using a shield, otherwise, it\u2019ll complicate your strategy. Phase 1 In her first phase, Rellana will strike with lots of sweeping slashing combos which are mercifully not infused with magic for the most part. If you\u2019re feeling brave you can try to parry her, but we\u2019d recommend dodging her attacks, getting behind her, and striking while she recovers. If she\u2019s far from you, she may slice her sword, using her Glintstone Arc spell which is easy to avoid and can be rolled through for a retaliatory counterattack. However, we\u2019d advise trying to stay behind her, as you\u2019ll have more windows to punish her while she winds up or recovers. Be very wary of her Phalanx spell, as while these little blue swords hover over your head, you\u2019re in a lot of danger. Dodge and weave until they\u2019re gone, then continue your assault. Don\u2019t get struck by her and become a sitting duck for this attack once it locks on and strikes. This will likely lead to instant death. Be patient, and resume your battle once the danger from above has gone. Once you get Rellana to 50% health, she\u2019ll transition to her the second phase of the battle. Phase 2 In phase 2, Rellana will start using fire attacks. She\u2019ll also become much more aggressive and will infuse her swords with both standard and fire magic. Most of her slashing attacks will now also be spells as Rellana starts swinging away with huge magic swords or explosive spinning combos. In this stage she becomes harder to dodge and parry, so remain alert and be aware that he attacks now do much more AoE damage. This means getting away from her isn\u2019t always the safest thing, so you\u2019re still advised to try and get behind her. If she turns her attention to an NPC ally or your Spirit Summons, make use of the precious seconds. Just remember, she can spin around and change targets in an instant. Her second phase will also cause Rellana to use Moon magic against you too (she\u2019s a Carian princess, after all). This attack is well-telegraphed but does massive AoE damage which may cause your remaining NPC allies and Spirit Summons to die. Get out of the area of attack or roll through the blasts, then get back at her the second you\u2019re clear, as you can land a few hits on Rellana as she recovers. Rellana is a significant challenge even to veteran Souls players and is considerably tougher than the DLC\u2019s first boss, but keep your head, learn her attacks, and take advantage of the many flaws in her game, and you\u2019ll find victory comes. NPC summons for Rellana If the boss is proving difficult, consider summoning Needle Knight Leda as an NPC ally in this fight, provided you have been following her quest. Just be aware that Rellana will receive a buff to her health and damage output if you do. Or, only use your Spirit Summons, as Rellana doesn\u2019t receive any buffs from you using them. Rellana, Twin Moon Knight rewards Rellana drops the following after she\u2019s been slain: 240,000 Runes – Remembrance of the Twin Moon Knight – The Remembrance can be traded with Enia (even if she\u2019s dead now) at the Roundtable Hold for runes or Rellana\u2019s Twin Blade weapons. Rellana\u2019s weaknesses Messmer the Impaler is weak against the following elements and status ailments: Lightning – Frostbite – Holy – Slash – Rellana is resistant to magic and fire attacks. They can still harm her but won\u2019t be hugely impactful when compared to lightning attacks. Jumping into Shadow of the Erdtree?
