Elden Ring: boss cheat sheet for the hardest walls

Margit

Buy Margit's Shackle from Patches in Murkwater Cave (5,000 runes, after you spare him) and use it to pin him to the ground — it works twice, in phase 1 only. It also works on Morgott later. Roll into his delayed staff swings late, not early. Summon Spirit Ash help — Jellyfish works fine.

Starscourge Radahn

Ride Torrent constantly, use the festival summons, and attack his legs. When he flies off-screen in phase 2, sprint perpendicular to his meteor landing.

Rykard

Pick up the Serpent-Hunter spear in the arena; it does huge damage to him and the Taker's Flames build comes from his remembrance.

Maliketh

Very aggressive. Phase 2 punishes rolling backward; roll through his sword sweeps and attack after the third hit of combos. Blasphemous Claw (Crumbling Farum Azula) lets you parry the Destined Death strikes.

Malenia

Waterfowl Dance is the key move. Counters: sprint away during the first flurry then roll through the next two, or use a Bloodhound Step/shield with high guard boost. She heals on every hit, even blocked ones, so frost or bleed status helps by forcing big damage. Status-heavy Spirit Ashes like Mimic Tear draw aggro.

Mohg, Lord of Blood

Equip Purifying Crystal Tear in your flask to cancel the Nihil blood curse damage. He can still bleed, but he takes only half the normal bleed damage of other bosses, so physical, fire and holy damage are better choices.

General: watch the hips not the weapon for delayed attacks, keep stamina for two rolls, and fight in the open where cameras are cleaner.
