Summary
AnElden Ringplayer has seemingly found a way to counter one of the most devastating attacks from the formidable boss Rellana in theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. Aside from Rellana, the Twin Moon Knight,Elden Ring’s latest DLC also adds about 6 mainline bosses and plenty more optional ones, ensuring that players have plenty of additional content and challenging fights to work through.
Aside from new areas, this expansion ofElden Ringhas also introduced new challenges for players to overcome.Rellana is a very tough boss to beat inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and the battle proves to be an early skill check for both veterans and newcomers who choose to enter Castle Ensis. Players have already discovered several strategies to beat the formidable boss, but none has probably countered Rellana’s attacks with such confidence as this one player.
This encounter with Rellana was shared on Reddit by a player with the handle flashymaniac. They posted a video that shows how the player countered Rellana’s slash attack using the Rotten Greataxe. When Rellana was preparing for the slash, the player attacked Rellana with the Destined Death skill. The video shows the Destined Death seemingly splitting the slash in two, leaving the player unharmed. The commenters on the Reddit post are divided when it comes to deciding whether Rellana’s slash was actually cut through. Some of them think that the slash was split by the player’s attack because Destined Death can not be challenged. Others think that the player was unharmed because of the crouching animation after the attack.
Elden Ring Player Seemingly Splits Rellana’s Slash
Since both parties have a pretty good explanation, it’s quite impossible to figure out what actually happened in the fight. However, all the commenters agree on the fact that the interaction between the two attacks looks extremely cool in the video.Beating Rellana inShadow of the Erdtreeis extremely hard because of her diverse attack patterns and her strength against magic and fire damage. However,Elden Ringplayers can take different approaches depending on their preferences, as the boss is weak against pierce and lightning damage, along with poison, scarlet rot, frostbite, and sleep effects.
To put the toughness of the battle in perspective, it’s worth mentioning that popular streamer xQc died 25 times before they could successfully defeat the boss. Kai Cenat has also mentioned that he died hundreds of times before defeating Rellana. While many players are struggling with the new bosses in the DLC, the popular Twitch streamerMissMikkaa defeatedElden Ring’s Rellana using a dance pad.
