Elden Ring: How To Beat The Leonine Misbegotten
The Leonine Misbegotten is an optional boss that is tied to the progression of two NPC questlines in Elden Ring. After a servant uprising, Castle Morne is all but lost, and the commander of the castle Edgar fights to his last breath to keep a legendary sword out of enemy hands. The Leonine Misbegotten already has it, though, and must be defeated to get it back.
Elden Ring: What to Do With Dragon Hearts
The Leonine Misbegotten is found below the rear cliffs of Castle Morne, accessible from the Behind The Castle Site of Lost Grace by jumping down a series of platforms and rooftops. Depending on your build, this fight is either incredibly easy or much harder than others encountered up to this point in Elden Ring – and you'll get to fight even more of them later on, too.
The Leonine Misbegotten hits hard and fast, slicing through the air with its colossal blade like it was a shortsword and dancing around the battlefield like a laggy multiplayer partner. Despite its quick movement, its attacks are relatively short-ranged and can be avoided by dodging backwards for the most part.

The Leonine Misbegotten is weak to Lightning-based attacks, particularly Incantations, but it's unlikely that you will have unlocked most of these spells this early in Elden Ring. It is also incredibly vulnerable to having its Posture broken, leaving it open for a huge Critical Hit.
