Dancer of Ranah is a dungeon boss in Elden Ring. It is one of the expansion's additions, found in the Land of Shadow.
The Dancer of Ranah is a nameless dancer whose spirit is sealed in the Southern Nameless Mausoleum off the Cerulean Coast. She fights like a Tarnished, spinning twin flaming swords in a fiery dance. The mausoleum shuts out spirit ashes. She staggers easily, so steady aggression wins the fight.
Lore
The Dancer wears a deep crimson dress and wields two decorative swords ablaze with red flame. Her strong attacks turn into a whirling dance.
The dance of Ranah is one of burning passion. The most passionate dancers never let their fiery dance end, and lose even their names as they dance on. To see the passion fade is to see the dancer's flame go out.

Weaknesses
| Parry | Yes |
|---|
Attacks
- Double-Spinning Slash: a spinning opener with both blades. A staggering spell or skill interrupts it.
- Charging double slash: she rushes in and slashes twice. Two rolls back, or one roll and a counter before the second slash, avoid it.
- Wide Flame Attack: when pressed, she claps and throws an arc of small fireballs. Rolling through the gaps or backing away avoids them.
- Retreats: she jumps or rolls away after each string, which gives time to reset.
Tactics
- Open with a staggering spell such as Greatblade Phalanx, then charge in.
- Stay aggressive, because she staggers easily under melee attacks.
- Parry her attacks when the timing is clear.
- Sprint away from her longest combos instead of rolling through them.
- Use stagger skills such as Savage Lion's Claw to interrupt her.
