Best Weapon Against Elden Beast (2023)

FAQs

Best Weapon Against Elden Beast? ›

In general, the Black Flame is powerful against the Elden Beast because the lingering damage is percentage-based.

The Elden Beast has one weakness, which is the glowing gold spot on its lower torso. Melee characters should go for this spot as much as possible while mage characters will want to use a long-range spell, such as Rock Sling, and attempt to aim it at the gold spot.

Holy damage will heal them, so avoid using it completely, and they have resistance to all status effects, meaning the Elden Beast weakness is pure physical damage. They also have a weak spot on their stomach which you can aim for to deal more damage.

Because Radagon can be staggered and reliably Critically Hit, it's a good idea to use melee weapons that deal huge Poise damage like Colossal Greatswords or dual-wielded Katanas.

Use Black Flame Blade, or other offensive Godskin incantations, as he has 0 resistance to fire-based attacks and Black Flame incantations deal additional percentage-based damage over time. Fire weapons are advisable, Magma Blade and the Blasphemous Blade are strong choices.

Staying calm and close to the Elden Beast will grant players chances to do damage, no matter which builds they are using. Cheesing the Elden Beast fight requires a Mimic Tear - in fact, the only spirit ashplayers really need during boss fights Elden Ring's Mimic Tear.

However, Elden Ring fans have figured out various strategies for easily defeating the final boss. As an example, one player managed to beat Radagon and Elden Beast within 30 seconds using the overpowered Comet Azur build. Now, another user details a build that can beat both bosses in a single hit.

The Elden Beast is immune to all status effects, and strong against all elemental damage (it even heals from Holy Damage, so avoid that at all costs).

Remember, status effects like bleed, poison, scarlet rot, and sleep have no effect on the Elden Beast, so bear this in mind when selecting your talismans, weapons, and armor. Both bosses are weak against Black Flame though, a substance that was created to kill gods.

The Elden Beast is actually healed by Holy damage, so for god's sake, don't use it! It's also fairly robust against Magic, Fire and Lightning damage, though not to the point where you should entirely respec to avoid these. Standard weapon damage will do the most against the Beast, so work with that.

What is the best armor to wear against Elden Beast? ›

Crucible Tree Armor

Probably the most effective way of protecting oneself against holy damage in Elden Ring is by equipping the Crucible Tree Armour. The entire set can be found in the Deeproot Depths, which can be accessed through the Siofra Aqueduct after defeating the Valiant Gargoyle and resting in a coffin.

Taker's Flames

Undoubtedly, the best Remembrance weapon in Elden Ring is the Blasphemous Blade. And it's not the best Remembrance weapon because of its high Physical and Fire Damage, but because of its Unique Weapon Skill, Taker's Flames heals the player for 6.5% of their max health per enemy hit.

For the best chance to beat Radagon of the Golden Order, your recommended level should be 120 and up, with weapons of +22 or higher.

Radagon is surprisingly weak to fire damage, and any flame-based attacks, skills, and spells can very quickly dispatch him. Popular weapons like Blasphemous Blade and the Sword of Night and Flame work great for this, as do fire Incantations and Sorceries. Use any of these to deal huge chunks of damage to Radagon.

Radagon is moderately resistant to all other damage types except for Fire , which he takes full damage from. The Elden Beast is resistant to all elemental damage types, but only slightly resistant to physical damage.

If you don't want to use a slow, tanky Spirit Ash, opt for Black Knife Tiche. This summon is quite effective in this fight, as it can close the distance between itself and Radagon very quickly. Try to bring Incantations such as Black Flame to exploit the Radagon's weakness to Fire.
