Red Wolf of the Champion is a dungeon boss in Elden Ring.
The Red Wolf of the Champion is a huge red wolf that guards the end of the Gelmir Hero's Grave on Mt. Gelmir. It fights exactly like the Red Wolf of Radagon, with leaping bites, a golden sword held in its jaws and homing glintblades. Its physical attacks are fierce, and its sorcery hits hard. Victory earns the spirit of Bloodhound Knight Floh.
Lore
The Red Wolf is a giant wolf with red fur adorned with jewels. It grips a golden sword in its jaws and casts glintblade sorceries as it leaps.
These agile red wolves are capable sorcerers, and some can call forth a golden blade to slash their foes.

Attacks
- Bite and Rearing Bite: quick bites and a rearing downward bite; roll forward and punish the long recovery.
- Leaping Bite: it leaps past and turns; roll forward as its head drops.
- Golden Blade: it swings a conjured golden sword in wide arcs; roll with the swing or block.
- Blade Plunge: it corkscrews into the air and slams the sword down; roll forward as it falls, then strike.
- Glintblade Dash: it dashes aside, leaving glintblades that fire after a delay; keep moving sideways.
- Glintstone Cometshard: it jumps and fires a large magic shard; run beneath it.
Tactics
- Use the same approach as against the Red Wolf of Radagon; its moves and timings match.
- Punish its jumping attacks, which leave the longest openings.
- Wear magic protection, such as the Spelldrake Talisman.
- Dodge glintblades by moving sideways before attacking again.
- Use physical damage rather than sorcery, since it resists magic.
