Elden Beast is a legendary boss in Elden Ring.
The Elden Beast is the living form of the Elden Ring and the final boss of the game. It rises from Radagon's body inside the Erdtree and carries the fight to a starlit shore. It swims through the golden water, rains holy stars and cuts with Radagon's remains turned into a sword. Its defeat lets the Tarnished choose the age to come.
Lore
The Elden Beast is a vast creature of golden light. It wields a great sword formed from the remains of Radagon.
Long ago, the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between. That beast became the Elden Ring. It was the vassal of the Greater Will and the living incarnation of Order. Marika became its vessel and founded the Golden Order.

Attacks
- Fire breath: it often opens by breathing golden flame. Running behind it at the start avoids the attack.
- Elden Stars: a long stream of golden shooting stars that rain across the area. Keeping on the move avoids most of them, and a stance break can stop the first cast.
- Golden rings: it leaps and sends out rings of light. Jumping over them works better than rolling.
- Sword sweeps: it cuts with the sword made from Radagon's remains. Rolling toward it avoids the arc.
- Holy waves and beams: holy attacks that cover wide areas. Holy protection makes them survivable.
Tactics
- Cast Lord's Divine Fortification with the Haligdrake Talisman for high holy protection.
- Equip the Green Turtle Talisman to recover stamina while chasing it.
- Run behind the beast at the start to avoid its fire breath.
- Turn off lock-on when it is close and when it leaps to send out rings.
- Target the glowing spot on its belly to deal extra damage and stagger it.
- Use physical damage and percentage-based black flame, since it resists elements and ignores status effects.
