Elden Beast ruined the end of the game.

[Daegon]

I was having a blast fighting against Radagon until I found out that the final boss had a second phase... but the second phase it's a huge beast, which move here and there making it annoying to fight with a melee character, you have to run behind that stupid boss everywhere to finally make some damage to him, but then, he swim into the water going far away from you... WHY???
And why the camera against giant enemies suck in Miyazaki's game? I don't know what i'm doing if I lock on the target, and if I don't use the lock on I just can't see what attack the enemy is going to do...
Radagon 10/10, Elden Beast 0/10.

yeah it's bad
but not a surprise looking at Elden Ring as a whole
lot's of garbage fights

[FreshlyGrilledPanic]

But don't worry they nerfed Radahn instead.

its weakspot is the chest, not the back

If you have the strength for it, I would recommend ditching trekking across the arena 3 times to deal chip damage over and over, and instead use a heavy ranged weapon like the Jar Cannon. It's slow as heck, but so is Elden Beast: You can deal some meaty damage with it and sometimes even get away with a dodge roll afterwards.

And best of all, the space whale spends most of the time sitting still if you're playing at range! Unlike Radagon before it I genuinely had fun against Elden Beast using this fighting style.

I didn't asked for tips or help, the boss is bad designed like every giant enemy from this game.

Sprinting across the "arena" 9 or 10 times is not fun as a melee build.

Being the last boss it gives strength to the argument that this game was made with mages/sorcerers in mind.

good for you. i was saying it because you said you had to run behind it to deal damage as melee, which isn't true. boss still sucks tho

[Anzaman]

Fighting against the Beast as Paladin who primarily deals melee-based holy damage was absolute nightmare.

My only saving grace was the fact that I had access to Lord's Divine Fortification which upped my holy resistance to like 80%, so the boss attacks hit like wet noodle.

[dirty sanchez]

this boss got a serious buff with the patch too im sure of it. all these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ want to do is just make a hard game and its seriously irritating, atleast nioh 2s combat was fun

[Man of Culture]

It's one of the more annoying fights in the game. I don't think it's particularly well designed when a boss simply has you chasing it all over the map to make it difficult. It was the one negative thing about the placidusax fight because it did the same thing. As a melee character those chase fights are a chore.

[davedarkotv]

I can assure you that it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss as mage as well

Because the problem it's not knowing what it's his weakpoint.
The freaking problem is that the boss is running everywhere far away from you and not letting you to attack him, it's simple bullsh*t
