BOSS STRATEGIES

Margit, the Fell Omen Medium

Location: Stormveil Castle entrance | Recommended Level: 20-25

Weakness: Parriable (high risk), weak to Slash damage, susceptible to bleed.

• Phase 1: Delayed dagger swings — dodge INTO the swing, not away. His wind-up is longer than it looks.
• Phase 2 (60% HP): Adds holy hammer and spectral sword combos. Create distance when he raises the hammer — the AoE is massive.
• Tip: Use Spirit Jellyfish or Lone Wolf ashes. Rogier's summon sign is available just outside the fog gate.
• Cheese: Parry his slow sword swings (not daggers). Two parries = critical hit.

Godrick the Grafted Medium

Location: Stormveil Castle (throne room) | Recommended Level: 25-30

Weakness: Bleed, Frostbite. Weak to fire in Phase 2 (ironic, but his grafted dragon arm is vulnerable).

• Phase 1: Stay mobile. His axe combos have huge recovery — punish the last swing. Beware the ground-slam shockwave.
• Phase 2 (50% HP): Grafts dragon head — gains fire breath and fire slam. Circle behind him during breath attacks.
• Tip: Nepheli Loux summon is available. Let her tank while you apply bleed from behind.
• Reward: Godrick's Great Rune (+5 to all attributes when activated)

Red Wolf of Radagon Easy

Location: Raya Lucaria Academy | Recommended Level: 35-40

Weakness: Physical damage, especially Slash. Low poise.

• Highly telegraphed sword swipes and magic glintblade summons.
• Roll through the sword lunges — the magic blades will miss if you're close.
• Very low health pool; aggressive playstyle wins faster than passive.

Starscourge Radahn Hard

Location: Caelid (Wailing Dunes) | Recommended Level: 60-70

Weakness: Scarlet Rot, Frostbite. Very susceptible to status effects due to high HP pool.

• Pre-fight: Summon all 5 NPC allies (gold signs scattered across the battlefield). Re-summon them as they die.
• Phase 1: Stay on horseback (Torrent). Circle strafe his purple gravity arrows — they one-shot. Close distance ASAP.
• Phase 2 (50% HP): Meteor crash — run away immediately. He becomes a meteor and crashes down for massive AoE.
• Strategy: Apply Scarlet Rot with Rotten Breath (dragon incantation) then kite on Torrent while NPCs tank.
• Reward: Radahn's Great Rune (raises HP, FP, Stamina significantly)

Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon Medium

Location: Raya Lucaria Academy (Grand Library) | Recommended Level: 40-50

Weakness: Physical damage. Low physical defense.

• Phase 1: Attack the singing students with golden auras. Three hits on her shield drops it — critical attack.
• Phase 2: Full moon magic. Her summons (dragon, wolves, bloodhound) are distractions — focus fire on Rennala herself.
• Tip: Her moon projectile is slow but tracks — roll sideways at the last moment.
• Reward: Great Rune of the Unborn (allows rebirthing/respeccing stats)

Morgott, the Omen King Hard

Location: Leyndell, Royal Capital | Recommended Level: 70-80

Weakness: Bleed, Slash damage.

• Extremely aggressive with long combos. Learn the combo endpoints — he always pauses after the dagger throw.
• Holy spears from the sky — keep moving, never stand still.
• Melina summon available. Use her to split aggro.
• His cursed blood explosions have a delay — count "one-two-roll" to dodge perfectly.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella Very Hard

Location: Haligtree (Elphael) | Recommended Level: 120-150

Weakness: Bleed, Frostbite, Fire. Susceptible to stagger from heavy weapons.

• Waterfowl Dance: Her most dangerous move. When she jumps and hovers — RUN away immediately. First flurry: dodge into her. Second: dodge away. Third: dodge sideways.
• Healing: She heals on every hit she lands, even if blocked. Use a 100% physical shield ONLY if you have Barricade Shield.
• Phase 2 (Scarlet Aeonia): She becomes goddess form. The dive-bomb explosion inflicts Scarlet Rot — dodge sideways as she descends.
• Strategy: Dual-wield katanas (Uchigatana + Rivers of Blood) with Mimic Tear +10. Let mimic tank while you apply bleed.
• Reward: Malenia's Great Rune (reduces flask healing but converts damage dealt into HP)

Radagon of the Golden Order / Elden Beast Hard

Location: Leyndell (Ashen Capital) | Recommended Level: 120-150

• Radagon: Fast holy attacks. His teleport-smash is unblockable — listen for the audio cue and roll backward.
• Elden Beast: Massive arena. Run toward it constantly — it swims away. The golden ring projectile (Elden Stars) is undodgeable; tank it with high Holy resistance (Haligdrake Talisman +2).
• Tip: Use Lord's Divine Fortification incantation for +60% Holy damage negation.
