by You’ve come this far! After defeating Godfrey, it’s finally time to venture through the Earth Tree doors. Appropriately for a game that punishes as consistently as Elden Ring, the “final boss” is actually two bosses in a row. The first you will encounter in the smoldering chest is Radagon of the Golden Order, the other half is Queen Marika, and the second is Elden Lord.
Like all the toughest fights in From Software games, defeating Radagon will require patience, focus, and – most likely – a few dies. Learning the attack patterns and getting used to it is more important here than in any other fight in the game, as you’ll be thrown straight into the next boss arena with no chance to rest after defeating him. Here’s everything you need to get out of Elden Lord on the other side.
