Prepare yourself to face the formidable Divine Beast Dancing Lion, one of the primary bosses in Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Located at the end of Belurat, Tower Settlement, this boss presents three challenging phases with varied elemental attacks. To conquer this mighty adversary, follow our detailed strategies below.
Guide to Defeating the Divine Beast Dancing Lion
Before Facing the Boss:
Prior to opening the main boss door, summon redmane Freyja to assist you. Additionally, utilize Spirit Ash summons for added support, enhancing your chances of success in the upcoming battle.
First Phase:
The Divine Beast Dancing Lion initiates combat with powerful breath attacks and headbutts. Dodge these attacks by rolling backward or sidestepping. If using a shield, absorb the breath attack, albeit at the cost of stamina.
Focus your attacks on two vulnerable points: near the lion's head and the hump at its rear legs. Avoid targeting its midsection, as it is resistant to damage. When the beast rears up, watch for ground pounds or breath attacks; move backward to evade and seize the opportunity to counterattack during its recovery period.
Second Phase:
When the lion's health drops to around a quarter or third, it transitions to its second phase. Initially, it ascends and unleashes a devastating lightning attack across the arena. Equip Lightningproof Dried Livers to bolster resistance against lightning bolts and avoid the marked areas where lightning strikes the ground.
In this phase, the lion's physical attacks incorporate lightning elements. Choose your moments carefully to attack, avoiding when it employs lightning-themed moves. When it reverts to its standard attacks, capitalize on these openings to deal damage.
Third Phase:
As the lion's health diminishes to 50%, it enters its third phase, unleashing an icy roar that covers the battlefield in frost. Brace against ice-infused attacks such as ground pounds releasing ice shards and breath attacks enveloped in frost. Dodge the wave-like ice attacks in star formations to evade their wide-ranging effects and mitigate Frostbite by monitoring your frostbite meter and using appropriate healing items.
Throughout this phase, the lion alternates between elemental effects, cycling through lightning, wind tornadoes, and ice. Identify safe windows to attack, particularly during the wind tornado phase. Utilize distractions from Spirit Ashes and Freyja to optimize your offense while evading its varied elemental assaults.
Victory and Rewards:
Upon defeating the Divine Beast Dancing Lion, claim the Remembrance of the Dancing Lion. Return this Elden Ring item to Finger Reader Enia in Roundtable Hold to exchange it for either the Enraged Divine Beast charm or the Ash of War: Divine Beast Frost Stomp, a melee armament enhancement with Cold affinity and a powerful shock wave attack.
Don't overlook the Divine Beast Head obtainable after the battle, a valuable helm and a prerequisite for obtaining the 'Watchful Spirit' spell from Hornsent Grandam in Belurat, Tower Settlement. Ensure you collect it before progressing to the Site of Grace 'Theatre of the Divine Beast'.
Congratulations on triumphing over the Divine Beast Dancing Lion! Embrace the rewards of your victory as you continue your journey through Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
