Elden Ring's Rennala Boss Is Like a Fight Right Out of Fatal Frame

The game is not comparable to Elden Ring, as it is a horror game that uses a camera to fight ghosts. However, the Rennala fight in its visuals and design do have a lot in common with Fatal Frame and its powerful women bosses.

Despite attacking them, these scholars and Rennala appear to be in their own little world, giggling and singing throughout the
