dude thanks. i was a melee/ mage so i respec'd to just mage and i totaally kicked ass

You leveled mind? Dang, mine is still at 10 and I’m lvl 90.

[@arzik6432]

@@Darth_Bateman maybe you didn't have enough mind to summon the ash? Did you look at the requirements for it?

[@Legend_yourbud]

My mimic tear is possibly the stupidest A.I I've ever seen in my life. One time I was using a seal and the mimic only used a fortification spell 5 times while I was getting my ass beaten by this boss. Then, I took off the seal and it started two handing the sword I had instead of using magic. I took off the sword and now the mimic is PUNCHING the boss without casting a single spell. I'm going to try to use a shield now.

[@Swordsnstuff]

I hate my mimic... same problem! XD

[@AB-jt4rs]

ah, I am glad my mimic isn't the only one with severe dementia. Seriously my mimic will cast 5 Terra Magicus in a row ( spell that casts sigil on the ground ) and then he'll dip from the fight like a goldfish 😂

[@cheyannesegovia8241]

I'm having the worse time with this guy, I can't seem to kill radagon fast enough to keep my mimic alive

[@amazingpen7059]

Assuming you're a decently levelled/geared mage; once you summon your spirit run away and once aggro switches, prep for Comet Azur, you should have enough time - you just need to time it so that he doesn't jump before your beam launches - you need to repeat maybe a couple of times while avoiding a few attacks. Rock Sling spam is key against the Elden Beast. It didn't happen often in this video, but you can break it's poise very quick with this spell which allows you to flask up and use continuous damage spells. I no joke beat it in 2 tries after swapping it in - it was that useful. The amount of time you get while it's staggered is a life saver. Good luck

[@stitch2642]

Don’t use your mimic. I use tiche and remember to roll into his attacks, DO NOT roll away. Hope it helps

[@ninjajin8788]

Upgrade mimic to 10+

[@aayaan5138]

I'm using black tiche and struggling massively. Funnily enough I switched back to the 5 greatshield soldiers and destroyed radagon. Elden beast then immediately 1 shot me lol

[@lonelyrapture9672]

I think that seems to be a common thing. I finally beat him yesterday. Ain't looking forward to Ng+

[@majid__jafari]

So i killed the boss just now and tried many spell builds to defeat him. What worked best for me and made it easy was this : First phase : cast Ranni's Dark Moon twice when he's attacking your mimic. This way your mimic will have at least half of it's hp left for the second phase. Second phase : cast Meteorite Of Astel when the boss is standing still and not focusing you. And use your flask with magic damage boost on one of them. 3 full casts is enough to take it down. Good Luck ;)

[@headyshotta5777]

took the infinite fp pot right before elden beast and meteors of astel took his hp down 85% absolute chad advice thanks. melted it

[@zakhoyt7771]

A good tip I suggest to anyone having a hard time is put shabriris woe talisman on and a great shield (if you have the stats for it) and summon your mimic tear. Then after summoning immediately remove the talisman from yourself. Radagon will then focus all his aggro on your mimic allowing yourself to comet azur him dead super fast.

[@jongxina3595]

Does this work with elden beast too?

[@djw_tekken8490]

​@@jongxina3595i mean it should try it out

[@aayaan5138]

All of this whilst in the midst of Radagon. Seems like a death wish. Against the snake it could be done because the arena was bigger and I had time to run and hide first...

[@GrandmaGotGame_]

As a mage?

[@notaDoragon]

As a mage, don’t get greedy. Use light magic spells until he’s at 60% health for elden beast. Then go Kamehameha

[@vishalnigam4946]

Thankyou. The right way of doing it without any gimmicks will always work. Wasted 40+ attempts trying to get behind the beast to setup the perfect one-shot. Even went back & levelled the skeleton soldiers to max as recommended but they got trucked. My advice for now, don't be scared to get close enough in front of the beast for your attacks to actually hit. Dodge the sword swipes & run sideways for the ranged attacks. Use your preferred ranged spell. Once your attacks actually hit him, he goes down surprisingly quickly. Can blow your azurs comet on Radagon for a quick phase 1 since it's hard to get a full hit on the beast.

[@D4ddi0G4m3r]

That was a thing of beauty. I'm trying on this dude but I've resorted to getting a few more levels then coming back. Not one of these one shot bosses, actual being the boss yourself.

[@jalynmoore-allen9871]

I just beat them today with my own mage build. After doing so and actually searching for this video for and way to improve my strategy I just want to let everyone this is a real achievement. Playing mage against these two is extremely difficult. I added an extra three hours to my play time with them alone. I tried so many different strategies. Eventually I got it but not easily at all. Absolute respect for Arzik your incredible for being able to do this.

[@arzik6432]

Aww thank you, I'm so happy that you managed to beat them, I know some people who just gave up and never finished the game 😅

[@rizzo-films]

Out of curiosity, why is a mage build harder here? Is it because you can’t put too many runes into strength so you’re automatically weaker? Or because mages work better at a distance but these bosses’ ranged attacks are too strong? I’m literally at the door to this fight and I’m a mage.

[@goodboyniko]

I can relate to the frustration of Azure Comet missing the boss.

[@PabloToscano]

Even when the video was uploaded 3 months ago, it seems to come from a very old testing version of the game, the elden beast what appear in the video moves and cast like a anesthetized puppet and the massive damage received is totally unrealistic compared with the 1.05 Elden Beast, if this video once worked, in no way anymore. There is no way the actual Mimic tear survives so long in the newest version of the game.

[@arzik6432]

This is the steam version when the game was released

[@lightningpuppet7895]

Mimic tear nerfed, Physic hidden cerulean tear nerfed from 15 to 7 seconds, damage nerfed. With higher level and same gear I do half the damage in patch 1.4 :D

[@marshallbell7501]

I'm rocking better gear than this. I'm lvl 186 and just got destroyed. Radagon is manageable since he just walks for the most part but the beast is able to put so much distance between you. My mimic dies like 30 seconds into the match since radagon smashed him. I'm going to try astels meteorite when I get up

[@trapman0]

@@marshallbell7501 u ever beat radagon If so how?

[@marshallbell7501]

@@trapman0 I did. My flasks were at an even distribution and I was using mohgwyns great spear blood ritual (against radagon and loosely on elden beast). Radagon is fairly simple in the sense that your mimic will distracts while you come in and preform the ritual then retreat and repeat(try to avoid his ground pounds). Elden beast I figured I'll block some of his attacks while having Lords Heal (requires 20 faith). You need a good shield that's able to neglect holy damage (I used erdtree greatshield) and I re-spec my character with rennala to emphasize vigor, arcane, stamina. Vigor for obvious reasons Arcane for blood damage and stamina for being able to withstand some blows while blocking. Rest of points should go to required stats like strength for carrying the spear and shield. If you need more specific directions, please reach out but and let me know when you fall the foul beast.

[@marshallbell7501]

@@trapman0 I missed some things. While fighting the beast be sure to start the match by healing (your mimic should be near you and the longer you keep your mimic in the fight the better your chances. Be SURE to strike even with weak blows when you can with the beast as it WILL put distance from you. Radagon on the other hand is a bit of a toss up. He can smoke you in an instant or you can get the jump on him with your mimic early and be well prepared for the beast. You're going to get blasted in this fight so be sure you're able to get that lord heals out and shield out in a timely manner and in the best scenario use your blood ritual close to the beast to give it a huge loss of life.

[@justtrim]

Awesome fight, thanks! =)

[@amazingdany]

Glinstone Pebble is viable even in the late endgame???

[@AB-jt4rs]

your incredibly lucky that not only was the Elden beast not aggressive at all, but he was directing all his attention to your mimic throughout your ENTIRE comet Azur chain at the end. I haven't been able to get him to do that and I am struggling really hard on him even though I have better stats than you which is admittedly embarrassing 😖

[@JF-pf9hx]

mimic tear's AI was nerfed in 1.03 so you can try black knife tiche instead. But she does not survive much longer than mimic tear as she usually does because elden beast has many AOE attack mod.

[@samwarren6008]

For me he does way more damage, I have just as much vigor and he is one shotting my mimic and then targeting me.

[@looseseal2]

You've probably beaten him by now, but try Dung Eater's spirit ashes instead of the mimic. He lasts a long time.

[@proximityclockworkx1572]

Wait, so he doesn't reflect magic? I've heard somewhere that he does, making mages useless against him

something doesnt add up.... i'm level 184, my ENDURANCE is at 20 and i can't outrun the elden beast's tracing fire things falling out of the sky that the player so easily out ran.. My intelligence is maxed out at 99. I don't do the damage you are doing with the rock throwing cluster. also my mimic dies within 20 seconds of the 2nd boss fight every time.

[@pozestcom]

As a matter of fact, my rock slings don't even connect on the elden beast. and my mimic still goes away afer 20 seconds into the elden beast. beyond frustrated. I switched to Carian Slicer; and got up on elden beast. i got him half way on health. he then went up in air, did his tracking fire laser things that tracked me, everyone began hitting me as i'm rolling and dodging then the elden beast at the same time starts doing his charged sword that reaches across the entire arena and that hits me twice and i die while the tracking fire things are still also hitting me.
