Cast Divine Fortifications
Casting Divine Fortification or Lord's Divine Fortification will greatly reduce the damage Elden Beast can do to you. The latter will also affect your Summon, making it even tankier.
Let your Spirit Ash take aggro as you attack from a distance
If your Spirit Ash from Phase 1 against Radagon is still alive, it will carry over to the Elden Beast fight. Thankfully, the summons recommended against Radagon, namely Black Knife Tiche or your Mimic Tear, will still be highly effective against the Elden Beast.
Tiche's speed will allow her to dodge its attacks while her weapon will decrease the Elden Beast's maximum HP. Your Mimic Tear's high damage and tankiness means you can let them take aggro for majority of the fight. If you didn't summon a Spirit Ash during Phase 1, prioritize using your Mimic Tear in Phase 2 due to its high HP.
Use large AoE spells
Elden Beast's size means you can easily hit it with an AoE spell that deals heavy damage. The best opportunity to do so will be after it reappears from one of its Dives, since it usually won't use that move again for a bit of time. Comet Azur will be especially effective since will drain the Beast's health quickly.
Pest Threads has been found to be very effective against the Elden Beast.
Melee Strategy
Elden Beast Boss Tips |
---|
Stay close and be aggressive |
Safest place to attack the Elden Beast is behind it |
Use weapons with launchable Weapon Skills |
Use Hoarfrost Stomp |
Stay close and be aggressive
For the melee strategy, make sure you're always trying to get near the Elden Beast and hitting it. Don't wait for a specific move before trying to attack since it can just dive away and you'll end up constantly resetting your position. Instead, be aggressive and strike it even during its animations. Its moveset is slow enough that you'll have enough time to attack before needing to dodge.
Safest place to attack the Elden Beast is behind it
As much as possible, position yourself behind the Elden Beast since you'll avoid most of its attacks from there. Your only threat would be its sweeping attacks, so just be prepared to roll through them. It will be easier to get behind it if you also use a Spirit Ash.
It will always start Phase 2 with its Cosmic Breath, so sprint behind it as soon as the fight starts. This'll give you a lot of time deal damage before it does another moveset.
Use weapons with launchable Weapon Skills
Despite Elden Beast's size, it's still quite agile and can easily get away from you thanks to its Dive. Using weapons like Moonveil or Blasphemous Blade can solve this issue since these have Weapon Skills that you can launch at the Beast. These should also have enough range that you can get 1 or 2 hits in even as it starts swimming away.
Use Hoarfrost Stomp
Hoarfrost Stomp deals incredible damage against the Elden Beast, and its size means you won't miss a single stomp. Spam this move when you get behind it and you'll take away large chunks of its health.
