Any tips against Rellana?

[Rhaeem]

She doesn't take magic damage (I'm playing a mage). Her magic damage is absurd (Royal Knight Armor makes no difference). Mirror shield helps, but not enough.

I am summoning the Needle Lady AND using a Mimic Tear Ashes +10 (summoning the mimic when I am holding Loretta’s War Sickle).

Reduce all my spells to Rock Sling and Adula’s Moonblade.

I am level 173.

I know you are supposed to die etc, done so for 20 times now with her. Not my first From Software game, but certain bosses are ridiculous, and for me she is one of them.

I spammed the siluria tree ash of war and killed her first try, i used tiche and needle lady too.

Magic builds have a really rough time took me ages to kill on mine good luck.

Killed in three deaths with my tanky faith build about 20 on my magic character.

some bosses (in any game) are just your weakness, if you want i can help if your'e still stuck

[paincanbefun]

uh... i summoned dung eater and used bleed in addition to leda. she was super resistant to holy, so prob resistant to magic. i geared to resist magic and fought her far back out of her range

i'd try a dps pet maybe? latenna? or another tank like dung eater if you have him. if your mimic is using magic, or if leda is dying fast, that may be your issue

fingerprint shield + great epee + some buffs for attack and protection. in dlc it helps a lot

i wonder why people list thier useless level and never mention thier blessing level. rellana is an optional boss on top. you arent required to beat her to progress. with like 12 blessing levels you can just facetank her.

also you sure can compensate few scooby doo blessing levels with active buffs

sorry, i fought her with 2H greatsword jump attacks. I guess, try to stack magic defense for second phase, dodge and jump instead of using a shield.

Get the claymore and put carian sovereignty on it and a mis. but the claymore in for left hand twohand it and put the mis. in or right hand make sure to equip the shard of alexander, godfrey icon, magic scorpion charm, and the graven mass talisman. Physic magic cracked tear and stone barbed tear and use terra magic along with black knife tiche or summon in someone.

Just walk away from her until she does an attack with an opening, then poke her once. Repeat for about 5 minutes and it's over. Or just summon something.

The deflecting hardtear helps a lot I find. The perfect blocks into boosted up guard counters alleviates a lot of pressure.

you most def cant face-tank her. even if you do her 1/4 hp wombo combo will 100% destroy you.

I'll go back to the lands between to up a different ash then. I do remember in my first playthrough I used at least three of them, this time for some reason I focused too much on the mimic.

Perhaps because blessing level is a fairly recent game mechanic.

I know she is optional, but I need that armor for my character XD couldn't live with myself if I continued the DLC without that.

I do agree it is not hard to run away from her attacks, but she will eventually hit me with some ranged near-one-shot spell. Biggest issue with the summons is that they get obliterated when she does the moon area of attack. My mimic survives because of the mirror shield, but Leda, poor Leda.

[Rhaeem]

Did it, I'll leave what worked for me here (which obviously won't work for everyone):

Ranni's dark moon (only that spell) + Carian Royal Scepter +10 + use mimic tear with the Scepter in hand + summon Leda.

Me and my mimic spawned the moons the entire fight while Leda held her attention. Perhaps a bit of luck: she only used her moon area attack till the very end of the fight.

And that is why I love Ranni.

get more scadutree blessings if you're below 5, i think I had 8 when i fought her

don't summon players so she has less health. use ash summon if you need distraction.
