How to Defeat Royal Revenant

The game developers of FromSoftware gave it their all for Elden Ring and the final product received universal praise from the critics society and player base alike. Unlike the easiest strategy to defeat Jori, Elder Inquisitor from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the Royal Revenant is much more agile, and players should move fast to get around the cramped arena to avoid getting hit.

The Royal Revenant can be found underneath the Kingsrealm Ruins and this optional boss makes it known to players that they are not welcome in its domain. As soon as players enter the arena, the Royal Revenant will attack without warning or hesitation and should set the tone for the rest of the fight.

Elden Ring players can always count on their trusty summons or spirit friends to lend a helping hand in this attempt. Getting these summons out quickly is key to a player’s survival and will gain the enemy’s unfiltered attention. As soon as whatever summon is out in the field, put as much distance between you and the Royal Revenant then reign fire using the flame sling.

Fortunately, this enemy boss seems highly susceptible to fire-based attacks and the fire sling can do the trick. After getting a few hits, the Royal Revenant will shift its focus towards the player and this is a signal to start rolling towards the right to avoid getting hit by its varied melee attacks. The summoned ally will then attack and these allies will become the next target giving players a window to either replenish their health or throw a few attacks.
