Elden Ring Players Find Wild Exploit to Kill Rellana, The Twin Moon Knight From Outside Her Arena

ign.com:

Elden Ring players have discovered a risk free way of instantly defeating one of Shadow of the Erdtree’s main bosses, Rellana, the Twin Moon Knight.

The exploit works without ever setting foot in her arena, by travelling to the Scadu Altus area before visiting the legacy dungeon Castle Ensis. Spotted by X/Twitter user Ziostorm, players can defeat Rellana by simply casting long range spells while standing in contact with the boss chamber’s rear fog gate.

“Turns out, you can cheese Rellana by going to the rear fog wall by Highroad Cross and using Flame of the Fell God,” they wrote, referring to an Incantation which shoots a ball of fire. “It will travel into her arena and explode.”

Though perhaps not the way FromSoftware intended Shadow of the Erdtree to be played, players can access Scadu Atlus and thus the exploit by making use of spirit springs, explained in a video from YouTuber LaserBolt.

Using a spell over and over will eventually see Rellana’s health bar hit zero, upon which the fog gates will fade to nothing. Players will earn 240,000 runes, a Remembrance to trade with Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold, and perhaps a slight feeling of guilt.

Those looking to take on Rellana face to face can read IGN’s Elden Ring guide, which features extensive boss fight walkthroughs, build guides, interactive maps, and more.
