The Battle of the Twin Moon!
Rellana Twin Moon Knight, is one of the main bosses in the Gravesite Plain region of the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC that you fight first or second, depending on your path.
She is one of the Remembrance bosses in the DLC and a hard-hitting, hard-hitting boss that stalls many players.
So whether you’re looking for Elden Ring Rellana or tips on how to beat her, our guide on Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree Rellana boss location and how to beat her will come in handy.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Rellana location
In Elden Ring, you can find Rellana at Castle Enis, located in the Gravesite Plain region. As soon as you enter the DLC and activate the Gravesite Plain grace site, you can travel to its location.
That said, from said Site de Grace, continue following the main road until you find the Site de Grace à Trois Chemins. From there, take the path to the right, cross the bridge and continue until you reach the Grace site at the front of the castle.
Enter Enis Castle and continue progressing until you reach Lord’s Chamber Castle Grace Site, the Grace Site closest to the Rellana location, as the boss arena is next to it.
How to easily beat Elden Ring Rellana in Shadow of the Erdtree
To beat Rellana Twin Moon Knight easily, you need to know its moves and the different phases. Only then does defeating her become a little easier, because you know what’s coming and are ready to dodge or block.
Weakness: Rellana is weak to bleed damage.
Strategy: Use weapons with high bleed buildup and the Mimic Tear Spirit Ashes, as this will make the bleed buildup easier.
Rellana Twin Knight of the Moon: First phase battle
Since you are here, I assume you have already been defeated by Rellana several times. That said, when you go through the fog gate leading to the boss arena, here are the attacks she can perform:
- Throw yourself a horizontal slash in the moonlight.
- Run towards you.
- Summon three Carian Magic Blades and walk towards you.
Among the starting attacks above, the moonlight strike is the most devastating which you must dodge, otherwise you will die instantly, provided your stamina is below 50, as mine was 40, and getting hit was guaranteed death for me.
You can dodge the moonlight’s horizontal slash and the Carian blades, but when it comes to its melee attacks, you can block them with the shield or keep dodging while trying to stay close, provided you are a melee user.
In the first phase of the battle, she will only use four attacks:
- His dancing melee combos: you can block or dodge them.
- Horizontal Moonlight Strike: Dodge towards the attack as if performing a side dodge; sometimes the attack continues to strike.
- Vertical Magic Sword Attack followed by 360 Swipes: When Rellana uses the Great Magic Sword, she strikes it vertically at your location and then does a wide horizontal swipe. You can counter it by dodging left or right twice in a row.
- The three magical Carian homing swords: you can dodge or block them.
At the end of each combo and attack, you have a few seconds to attack him. Use it to deal damage to him. When her HP reaches 50%, she will enter the second phase.
Rellana Twin Knight of the Moon: Second phase battle
The second phase is a nightmare for every player because, based on the RNG, Rellana will perform one of the three attacks below using the Fire and Moon sword:
- Enter the Moon and Fire stance and throw five moonlight blasts towards you: this is the easiest one you can escape from by dodging left or right until the attack ends. The attack begins with two diagonal slashes, followed by two horizontal slashes, and ends with a vertical slash.
- Use the Twin Moon spell: As soon as you see her become Twin Moons, prepare to jump three times. Don’t dodge this attack, because you will be hit no matter what. I’ve tried this several times, and the easiest way to counter it is to start your jump when the first Moon hits and creates an AoE wave, then continue jumping two more times without looking at the attack.
- The Whirlwind of Fire: She creates a whirlwind of fire around herself. As soon as you see this attack, distance yourself until it ends.
- Gunshots: Alongside Morgott and Mohg, Rellana uses diagonal gunshots when you are near her in the second phase. These attacks break out even after the initial attack has been hit.
The four attacks above are the ones she can perform as soon as she enters the second phase.
After that, in addition to her melee magic and fire attacks, she uses a new Carian Homing Sword attack that summons two waves of five Carian Homing Swords.
When you see this attack, dodge three to four times in any direction while a melee attack follows it.
So if you try to block it, you may not be able to tank the entire combo.
That said, like before, after each attack you have a few seconds to deal damage to him. Use this window to reduce Rellana’s HP and defeat her.
The best build to beat Rellana in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
The bleed build works wonderfully to defeat Rellana, the Twin Moon Knight. I already have a detailed build guide showcasing my Bleed + Holy build that I think would be best for the DLC.
Now that I’m using it in the DLC, I can confirm that this is one of the best builds for dealing massive damage to bosses and regular enemies. The only changes I recommend are getting more stamina to increase your survivability and equipping a shield to block specific attacks that fill the entire screen.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Rellana boss drops and unlocks
When you defeat Rellana in Elden Ring DLC, you get 2,40,000 runes and her memory which you can exchange for Rellana’s Twin Blades or Rellana’s Twin Moons Sorcery.
To get these final rewards, you head to the round table and interact with Enia, the finger reader, to claim one of the rewards.
Finally, defeating Rellana unlocks the Scadu Altus region, which connects the other three main regions of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
That wraps up our guide on where to find the Rellana Twin Moon Knight boss in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and how to beat her.
