Within Castle Ensis in northeastern Gravesite Plain lies one of the earliest — and toughest — bosses you’ll run into while playing throughElden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC: Rellana, Twin Moon Knight. A former Carian princess now serving as one of Messmer the Impaler’s strongest allies, Rellana is a deadly foe with fast, lengthy attack combos and a lethal damage output.

Though her twin swords will undoubtedly remind many experiencedDark Soulsplayers of their bouts with Pontiff Sulyvahn, Rellana is far more powerful — and far more difficult, too. Not only is she incredibly agile and capable of hitting like a truck, but she also has a wide variety of both melee and ranged moves that she’ll use in her mix-ups to keep the pressure up. However, she does have a few noteworthy weaknesses to take advantage of, and once you understand how to properly dodge her attacks, you’ll find that you have plenty of opportunities to get hits of your own in.

Though completely fair, this fight ishard, and it’s one I suspect many Elden Ring DLC players have been stuck on for a while. To make your battle with her easier, I’ve created a boss guide below that covers everything you need to know about it, and also includes some general tips to consider as you prepare for and challenge this elite swordswoman.
