Dishonorable Elden Ring players bypass Shadow of the Erdtree's greatest duel without even entering the boss room

pcgamer.com:

Much like the Dark Souls boss who can be defeated by throwing hundreds of dung pies over a wall, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's dual-wielding magic knight can be killed without stepping foot inside her boss room.

Several players have figured out that Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, has no answer for a Tarnished standing outside her arena and throwing magic at her until she dies. X user Ziostorm posted a video demonstrating the dishonorable act, which just involves casting long-range magic at her through a fog wall. Not just any fog wall though, it has to be the one you can only reach by going behind her home, Castle Ensis.

Quite a few spells work: Ziostorm recommends Flame of the Fell God, but other methods on YouTube use Moonveil's ranged attack, the DLC's Impenetrable Thorns sorcery, and even Rellana's own Carian Sovereignty spell. As long as it's big enough to hit her standing in the middle of the room, it'll get the job done.

I'm not usually one to persuade anyone from cheesing a boss that's giving them trouble, but Rellana is one of the DLC's best fights and deserves at least a few normal attempts—if only to hear her outstanding theme. She's a dual-wielding Carian knight who slams magical moons into the ground that you have to Mario jump over; it's the most exhilarating duel in the game. But she can also slice you apart so fast you have no time to respond, so I understand the urge to skip her altogether.

Turns out, you can cheese Rellana by going to the rear fog wall by Highroad Cross and using Flame of the Fell God. It will travel into her arena and explode.-But definitely fight her legit first, she's one of the best bosses in Elden Ring DLC. pic.twitter.com/TvI7FzLfjdAugust 1, 2024
