Best Elden Ring Builds To Help You Beat The Hardest Bosses
FromSoftware fantasy RPGs like Elden Ring are infamous for not having easy modes, forcing players to overcome challenging dungeon crawls and fearsome boss battles with cleverness, careful observation and a steady accumulation of skills. In practice, however, FromSoftware's newest RPG contains a huge number of tools such as Spirit Ashes to make certain encounters easier, along with specific character builds specifically tailored to defeat Elden Ring's toughest bosses. Whether through exploiting status effects, equipping weapons or spells with high stagger potential, or exploiting elemental weaknesses, the following character builds can trivialize seemingly unstoppable bosses.
In general, most players who can't defeat all of Elden Ring's bosses should generally try to take a break from tricky fights, explore other parts of the Lands Between, and think of new strategies to surpass the difficulty they face. If they keep getting killed in a single blow, for instance, they should upgrade their Tarnished player character's Vigor along with other stats. Alternately, they should engage the Elden Ring boss in "practice run" fights where they focus solely on dodging and learning the enemy's attacks. If neither of these approaches help a player overcome Elden Ring's toughest bosses, they should feel free to try one of the following builds.

Her additional ability to heal damage to her health bar when she strikes player characters, however (plus her very hard to dodge Waterfowl Dance) makes her a boss that can only be beaten by players who can evade the majority of her attacks and deal heavy amounts of damage.
