Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, is a Legacy Dungeon Demigod in Elden Ring that the Tarnished must face at the end of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. While she might not be as challenging as General Radahn, the Queen will woefully punish those who confront her without first understanding her boss mechanics. Like Stormveil's Godrick the Grafted boss, Rennala's boss fight has two phases, with the second being naturally more difficult than the first. Despite this, even the first stage can be problematic for anyone who jumps into the fray without knowing what they should do.
At the start of Rennala's boss fight in Elden Ring, the Queen will be hovering in the air, protected with a radiant yellow barrier. Scattered about the arena will be multiple Academy pupils, grimly crawling across the ground and executing various attacks at the player. These attacks can range from spewing a cone of flames to flinging books across the room. While they appear no more than minion nuisances in the boss battle, these students are the key to breaking Rennala's protective shield.

As soon as the fight begins, Tarnished should immediately begin scouring the room for students glowing with shimmering golden light. Players do not need to slay these particular mobs in Elden Ring but only strike them once to remove their barrier. Additionally, Tarnished can discover them quickly by their ominous singing. After finding three of these enemies and removing their glow, the shield around Rennala will burst, causing her to fall to the floor. Tarnished can approach her and strike her until she reaches half HP, after which she will let out an explosive AoE effect and retreat to the canopy above.
