Spent all weekend working on her and the Elden Beast. I was determined to beat her before the ending. Yesterday I got up a little early and grinded a few quick levels to use Black Flames Protection. After a long ass day, eventually I finally sat down, loaded in…
And whooped her on my first attempt.
With any luck I can figure out a way for me to deal with the Beast and then its on to Shadow of the Erdtree!
Thank yall for all the great advice here and on other forums, if it wasn’t for the community it would’ve been a much different experience playing through. But goddamn im having fun.

Elden beast is absolutely doable without cheese and just melee. You’re right that it is more of a marathon. In NG I did a 2H greatsword build, and in NG+ and NG++ ive used dual greatswords.
Haven’t a clue about that specific sword or faith builds though, I love my greatswords 🤣
For talismans a must have is the ritual shield imo. I also run physical damage res and for that fight holy res can be good. These days i just run the jump attack talisman and the equip load one (cuz dual greatswords at lvl 125 ain’t light!).
Ooh I missed that talisman, grabbing that asap. Thanks! Maybe I’ll try double greatswords instead of 2h Bloodhound. I tinkered with double twinblades earlier but missed the reach and didn’t care for the attack timing when I was learning bosses…
It’s all about what you like and your playstyle. Dual dex build is probably easier from equip load perspective you just wont hit as hard per single hit but you can still shred stuff as long as you know how long you have between attacks. Elden beast itself pauses for long periods. You just have to chase it and know how to avoid some of the more dangerous attacks
I’ll tinker with it when I’ve got time for sure, thanks!
