Elden Ring: How To Defeat Elden Beast
The Elden Beast is the final true boss in Elden Ring, appearing right after you kill Radagon of the Golden Order. The arena for this fight changes completely from Radagon's fight. This boss is mandatory in order to complete the game and see any endings, but you'll still be able to traverse the Lands Between afterwards, and take on other bosses before choosing an ending you like.

The fight with Elden Beast can be frustrating, mostly because of its habit of diving underwater and retreating far from the player. Here is all you need to know about the Elden Beast.
The Elden Beast is located inside the Erdtree in Leyndell, Ashen Capital. This boss fight is the second phase of the true final fight in Elden Ring. After defeating Radagon, you will see a cutscene where the Elden Beast consumes Radagon and comes face-to-face with the Tarnished.
Defeating the Elden Beast will net you 500,000 Runes and the Elden Remembrance. You can turn the Remembrance in to Finger Reader Enia in Roundtable Hold to get Marika's Hammer (Hammer) or the Sacred Relic Sword (Greatsword). You cannot summon NPCs for this fight but can use Spirit Ashes. Online players who were present for the Radagon fight will be able to help you out in the second phase as well.
