Game News Players have found the best way to get rid of the final boss “Shadow of the Erdtree”!

A moon tip

For many players, the DLC Shadow of the Earth Tree represents the most difficult thing that FromSoftware has achieved. The Elden Ring expansion is tough because it primarily corresponds to endgame content, but also has different leveling rules than in the base game. To progress as easily as possible, you must therefore collect resources that allow you to obtain statistical improvements. These improvements are specific to the DLC and make confrontations much easier. Except perhaps that of the final boss.

The final boss of SOTE is tough, much tougher than most of the enemies encountered in this DLC, and is certainly at the top of the list of the most impressive enemies FromSoftware has ever created. And players have understood this well, sharing all the techniques that helped them defeat this enemy since the expansion’s release. Recently, a user on Reddit in particular revealed how to dodge one of the boss’s techniques and damage him in the process.

This attack is not the most terrible in itself. But here, the magic Ranni’s Black Moon allows you to not only absorb hits without taking damage, but also deal a significant amount of it, especially with a perfectly optimized Ice Mage build. The only problem is probably that the spell is difficult to obtain and requires reaching an advanced level of Ranni’s Quest, and that’s without taking into account the 68 Intelligence points required to use this spell. But it’s a problem that probably won’t be an issue when you’re facing the final boss of SOTE.

At the same time, it is possible to achieve the same result with the spell Full Moon of Rennalawhich deals more or less damage than the previous one, but does not accumulate cold damage. However, this technique is certainly not enough to defeat this final boss.

It’s rare to face a boss whose power matches their legend or status from a lore perspective. Elden Ring is no exception to the rule, pitting us against gods or demigods who are never at the peak of their glory, but rather weakened by past events.

Which is not the case for Radahn in this situation. Here, the Scourge of the Stars has regained its old form and also uses new devastating techniques. Once Miquella lends him her powers in Phase 2, the duo becomes a real weapon of mass destruction. Add to this immense power visual effects that make the action barely visible, and you have one of the most grueling fights of any Souls-like.
