I Defeated a Hard Boss with Parry & Dagger - Rellana Twin Moon

Hey guys! So today after wandering around the new map Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, I've just defeated who arguably is one of the hardest Elden Ring's bosses: Rellana Twin Moon Knight. I think in terms of damage level, move-set variations, and killer combos, Rellana is harder than Malenia.
Her magic (or weapon skills) are very annoying and deadly. I was kinda lucky I didn't die because of the moons attack xD
I defeated her with my own game which is a parrying shield and a critical fast dagger = producing devastating critical hits. I hope this inspires you and enjoy watching the duel!

Brother, how much time does it take to get THIS good at the game

[@thepainphantom]

Frankly, it took me around 50 deaths to actually understand all of her move set. I was struggling a with her late magic in her "second phase" (since I'm a STR mix build). As for my parrying and blocking close-combat, I did my entire base game by parrying and riposte (if parry-able), from the most common enemies up to the bosses (such as Morgott, Malenia, Radagon). I've spent hmm at least 300 hours in the base game before DLC. Half of it I spent as a noob who just relied on summons and cheesing OP weapons LOL.

A great accomplishment! I personally found this boss to not be too difficult but your display of skill was a pleasure to watch.

[@thepainphantom]

True words! For some people, they got stuck with her because of the relentless fast attacks and later, devastating magic attacks. But upon repetition and close inspection, her move set are actually enjoyable to counter and anticipate. Just like Malenia, only a faster tempo. Perhaps it's the same as Malenia's second-phase tempo. I am glad you enjoy it, buddy!

[@Chunkywhitebao]

When luck is also at your side besides skills. That was fantastic!

[@thepainphantom]

Haha yeah. I was expecting to die and didn't mind to repeat it as by that time I'd finally understood all of her move set. But I got lucky so I chose to upload it so people can see my struggle as well, it's realistic. I think many other players can do better after watching it. Thank you for watching! Good to hear you enjoy it!

[@pmbfit]

Not only you have the skills, man that was soooooo close to death after the twin moon bouncy bouncy. Fortune favors the bold!

[@thepainphantom]

I thought I was dead too, that's 1 in a billion chance xD

[@thepainphantom]

Guys if you enjoy the video, remember that champions are not somebody who don't feel afraid or never lose. That's not realistic. Champions train, they get back up 8 times when they fall 7 times. Stay hungry Tarnished!

hello wonderful fight

[@thepainphantom]

Hi! I am glad to hear it. Hope you're inspired and hyped for the DLC!

[@woahthere7895]

I beat this boss solo(awakened boc got insta killed so it counts) and the sounds I made were uncanny it was like 40+ attempts I love how crazy cracked they’ve made these new bosses

[@thepainphantom]

Well done man! Same, I died a lot too before it finally came to me about her move set. Just like Malenia once. I agree, the devs made a great job. And they made "second phase" not by adding another new health bar of the boss, but her skill use (deadlier stuff). Just like Radagon with his 3 slams.

[@endytrexco930]

Killed her first try but i did it whit op weapons meanwhile you killing her whit a dagger really take some skills man. Congratulation😂

[@thepainphantom]

Well done mate! We can play however we see fit, I don't judge you and thank you! I used to do that too on my earlier Tarnished career days (base game). After a while I was thinking of how to enjoy the game more (understanding the enemies, the game's mechanics etc) and here I am, taking punishments lol.

[@vanplays5216]

Have you heard of divine beast?

[@thepainphantom]

When I made the title it wasn't exclusively for me, but for average players who are struggling with her. I made this to inspire (average/casual) folks to learn basic but essential stuff like parrying. I like to read people's comments, many are still struggling with Rellana. Divine beast is tough, but I beat it altho it wasn't an enjoyable fight like this one. I also dislike golden hippo, but I beat it and I dreaded the fight. Not a huge fan of animals bosses lol.

[@bluemio7349]

The hardest boss hahahaha yeah wait until you get to Messmer

[@thepainphantom]

I did fight him multiple times but then I realized it's kinda endgame and I even haven't done all the maps and at least half of the bosses. I also have fought Bayle Dread Dragon. I'm making this video in the perspective of average players who are struggling. I read people's comments. My orientation is to help or inspire people. They watch my videos, they copy and improve = git gud.

[@lesshive9875]

Hardest? I ran straight to this boss immediately. Killed her at lol 197 no new upgrades with jump bleed build

[@pmbfit]

Wow you should be a famous youtuber by now bro. Can somebody please give this guy a medal?

[@thepainphantom]

Hi, thanks for commenting. First off, well done! Second, have you ever heard the phrase "The world doesn't revolve around you?" Every (young) psychologically healthy un-narcissistic adult should've known that already. It's a great life lesson to be nice and respectful. You never know what they have been through in their life and what's up.

[@metataro2184]

197? I just beat Messmer and I’m nowhere near that level. You enter the dlc that high?

[@thepainphantom]

@@metataro2184 Comparing diks size is hilarious bro. Trust me👀
