Rellana Twin Moon Knight is an optional encounter in the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. She is the twin sister of Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, and wields dual light greatswords. In this guide, we will cover how to locate and beat Rellana, her attack patterns, and the best build to use against her.

Location of Rellana Twin Moon Knight

Rellana can be found inside Castle Ensis, and the closest site of grace near the boss room is the 'Castle Lord's Chamber.' To reach her from the starting point in the DLC, go east from the 'Three-Path Cross' site of grace, where you first encounter a fire golem. Afterward, you will reach the 'Castle Front' site of grace, followed by the 'Castle Checkpoint' site of grace. Continue exploring to find a knight blocking a lift that goes up to the 'Castle Lord's Chamber' and Rellana's boss room next to it.

How to Beat Rellana Twin Moon Knight

Rellana Twin Moon Knight is a challenging boss fight in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. She has one phase, but after depleting her health to 50-60 percent, she buffs her weapons and introduces a few new movements in the mix. Here's a breakdown of her attack patterns:

Rellana Attack Patterns

Here's a list of Rellana's attacks:
  1. Sword Strikes: Rellana uses her dual light greatswords to aggro at a target and performs a spin slash that ends with a stabbing attack.
  2. 3 Glintblade Phalanx Summons: She uses her right glintstone sword to summon three Glintblade Phalanx. If the blades are summoned on top of her head, they will track the nearest threat and fire after a few seconds.
  3. Magic Carian Greatsword: After depleting Rellana's health to 30 percent or more, she will summon Magic Carian Greatsword. This attack is initiated with a charged strike from the top, followed by a swing attack after a second's delay.
  4. Magic Arc Slash: Rellana takes one step back and charges her glintstone sword. She then fires a magic arc slash towards a target she is facing.
  5. 6 Glintblade Phalanx Summons: When Rellana's health nears the last 20 percent, she will rise in the air and cast two moons back to back, followed by a slam attack. All three attacks will send a massive shockwave when hit with the ground.
  6. Mesmer Sword Flame AoE: After depleting Rellana's health to 50-60 percent, she buffs her weapons and mostly performs Mesmer Sword Flame AoE attack. She slashes the sword in the air, creating a flame from the ground that bursts out after a second.
  7. Exploding Moons: When Rellana's health nears the last 20 percent, she will rise in the air and cast two moons back to back, followed by a slam attack. When hit with the ground, all three attacks will send a massive shockwave.

Best Strategy to Beat Rellana

Rellana Twin Moon Knight is an agile boss who moves a lot on the field and tries to get close to deal melee damage. If you are a ranged damage dealer, the boss fight can be a little easy for you. On the other hand, melee players will have the hardest time defeating Rellana in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

We recommend using various buffs to amp up the attack power and defenses and negate most of the physical damage you take during the boss fight. Golden Vow and Black Flame's Protection will greatly support you during the boss fight.

Bring a summon or use the Mimic Tear during Rellana's boss fight if you can to divide the boss's attention and keep hitting her.

Build Recommendations for Rellana Boss Fight

We recommend running with the vampire build for the Rellana boss fight. This build uses the following equipment and stats:

The goal of this build is to use only the Blasphemous blade's skill attack that sends a wave of fire in a single direction. This fire has Taker's Flames effect, which gives you health back every time the flame hits a target. This way you will always have full health throughout the fight while dealing the most damage per hit.

Rewards

Defeating Rellana Twin Moon Knight rewards you with the following items:

You also get 240,000 runes as a reward for defeating Rellana. Rellana's armor can also be obtained from Enia.
