Elden Ring - Rennala, Queen of The Full Moon Boss Fight (4K 60FPS) 

I tied with Renalla during the bossfight. Now 50000 souls are stuck on the moon

I just realised. Phase 2 is not Rennala. It's an illusion conjured by Ranni the Witch to protect her mother. Holy shit.

Bro she literally fucking pulls you into a domain expansion in the second phase. That cutscene was absolutely beautiful and probably will never forget it for as long as I play Elden Ring. She's easily one of my favorite boss fights so far, very unique first phase and crazy second phase. It's good to see that not every boss in this game is based on constant pressuring of the player.

I just love Ranni’s love for her mother, and how Ranni speaks highly of her mom, even though Rennala is in “poor” state of mind, by presenting her as a royalty and by encouraging the tarnish to spread the word… it’s like she doesn’t care how many times she would have to create this illusion, Ranni wants everyone to see her mom as her true, strong self, holding her honors.

"Mother's rich slumber shall not be disturbed by thee" always sends chills down my spine. Even if it is an easy boss fight, it's one of the most memorable ones, and serves as a reminder never to fuck with Ranni the witch.

You HAVE to give it up to Ranni for being the biggest hypeman in all of FromSoft. The way she introduced Rennala made me think I was about to go up against the hardest character in the game

I love how even though this isn’t much body horror like in Stormveil that this cutscene and boss is still creepy as fuck in a clean and beautiful way. This game really touches on a variety of horror and fear.

You really gotta roll the dice in this boss fight because you're either gonna hit phase two and get pestered by dogs or you're going to reach phase two and she's gonna drop a fucking dragon on you

I never noticed before until today but at 4:16, you can actually see your character backing up cautiously as Ranni's full-powered version of Rennala walks menacingly towards you.

Phase 1: one of the creepiest weirdest From Soft boss fights Phase 2: one of the most beautiful boss fights.

back in the days when you play games, the cutscenes always look different than the gameplay. but here they are all look amazing

For all the lore nerds notice how in phase 1 her eyes are golden, then in phase 2 they are blue and after the fight the color is faded. Also the children have both eyes with gold and blue mixed.

I just Love how Rennala backstory Is that She is A grieving Mommy lamenting On the Lost of Her daughter And husband But what Saddened me MOST In the Second boss Fight you Hear ranni Voice saying Upon my name as Ranni the Witch. Mother's rich slumber shall not be disturbed by thee. Foul trespasser. Send word far and wide. Of the last Queen of Caria, Rennala of the Full Moon. And the majesty of the night she conjureth.) Rennala's 2nd phase is crafted by Ranni, possibly through her memory, and so Rennala's parting line saying "Sweet little Ranni", like it's that precious memory of her sane mother that Ranni embedded into the moon clone Phase 2 is not Rennala. It's an illusion conjured by Ranni the Witch to protect her mother.

This was the first boss I came across that I had mixed feelings about killing (especially in the second phase). The whole battle felt weirdly.... beautiful. Definitely one of the most memorable battles of the game.

Lorewise she is literally the art/music teacher who won’t shut up about how her divorce made her crazy.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful the background Ost is?

From Soft really outdid themselves with this boss fight. It ranks among my all time favorites. I did not expect it to end like this when I fought her and I’m glad I discovered it on my own. It was so exhilarating.

I think it’s also notable how she just used her “sweetings” as weapons, or how easily she dismissed them. You can see chandeliers fall on them, or when she uses them to try to kill you. Crazy.

Her last words give me sadness chills. Her daughter has given her a final bout of lucidity, and realizing this she uses her final moments to encourage Ranni and wish her well

I will never forget the absolute horror I felt the first time I fought Renalla. The scholars scared the shit out of me, I didn't know how to break her barrier, I died so many times. Then I summoned some dude and he yolo'd around the room cutting up scholars like he was some deranged psycho in the middle of a schizophrenic break.

This was the most beautiful boss fight I've ever experienced. I was not expecting that 2nd phase to be that awesome.

My buddy and I were playing parallel to each other the other day; he was a little further back than I was at this point, and I had just made it to this boss. He knew absolutely nothing that was going on. But as soon as the second phase hit, and she transformed into a small moon, I shouted, "She turned into the moon! Sokka -- !" He responded with, "That's rough, buddy."

4:03 Domain expansion: Full Moon

This boss fight is a crazy mixture of scholar of mensis and the One Reborn from bloodborne - it reminds me a bit, but in a crazier way. Edit: Ah! And Rom, the Vacuous spider.

What I love about the first phase is Rennala's blank stare, you can see her as she's completely gone, she's an empty shell and when you beat her and then Ranni's spell kicks in, when the Rennala she once was appears, you see her determination and the power it has, it will not be one of the most difficult bosses, it will even be easy, but seeing how the whole scene changes with its magic, how it can summon a dragon or a troll gives you to understand the power as a sorceress, how powerful what was.

You know what I love about this channel? Not a single word from the player, just great gameplay skill and quality vids showing off the game.

I just can't get over how much I love the music in the first phase! Such a profound blend of emotions making it mysterious and creepy, yet sad and forlorn. I don't know much about her lore yet but I'm assuming that Culver is her unborn child? That thing looks like some kind of Lithopedion.

As a melee build this wasn’t bad for me, especially when I summoned 3 wolves to spam her into obliteration

This is my fave fight of the game so far maybe the most beautiful display of magic I’ve ever seen in fromsoftware.

If you’re a mage like me, use rock sling! It deals physical damage and is much easier to defeat her since you also get to keep your distance and don’t have to worry about the aoe damage/her continuously floating away in the second phase.

For those who are struggling like mage builds, the cheese way to do it is to summon a Warhawk on the 2nd phase. Make sure you leveled it up, my +5 Warhawk can solo her lol.

0:28 Tarnished:What the- Creepy lady:Hello! Tarnished: AAAH!

Probably on the top 10 coolest bosses of any souls game. Moon and sea are very well known things at this point, I would even say kinda overused/expected, but this was still so wonderful. Such a memorable fight.

The Visuals in this Boss fight is so good. I'm glad its not as hard as the other boss so I could take all the graphics in.

For those wondering. She offers respecs and you use larval tears to do it, which they are fairly rare. Easiest way to get them that I know of is the vendor in the first underground area you go to in east limgrave. About half way through the area there is a tower with 2 guys on it and you follow the path at the top to the vendor Besides the vendor. The only other tears I know of are from stronger enemies that most avoid even at higher levels. Like one drops from one of the bears in that east limgrave area

What a beautiful and disturbing boss fight. Love it!

L + Ratio + you have no maidens + you're tarnished + touch grace

I've really enjoyed the subtlety of this game's implied story and culture. Pondering the significance of an enormous statue built in tribute to some king, queen. warrior, sorcerer, etc is a regular occurrence. Learning about a character only after you've slain them is common. Telling a story this way feels very unique to games. It's very special.

I did not expect this to be my Top5 boss fights of all From games. The music, the singing at 1st phase, the art design...IT'S PERFECT 😭 GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

This fight really makes me wish magic was real 😂 I mean look at this creativity. This game is a masterpiece

Renalla has the best boss intro. It might sound weird, but Ranni's speech is so much fun to recite.

We go from hectic deacons to gwyndolin with summons in moonside lake

Rennala: Why are you always coming to reborn my child? Me: I fear no man, but your sister... she scares me.

just finished this boss after around like 3 hours of attempts lol. i’m a mage build so this one was super hard for me but it was such an awesome boss!!!! the visuals are stunning, the music is stunning, everything that happened was really unexpected. this is my first from software game i’ve played and i’m thoroughly enjoying it. this was amazing. very much worth how angry it made me at times lol :))))

This boss is basically an unholy spawn of the bed of chaos and deacons of the deep, especially for a sorcerer build.

This fight is so disturbing yet beautiful. I loved it.

Ranni's voice actress is incredible. Every word is treated with such beautiful care.

I've never played any Souls games or Souls-likes so I know it'd be a shitshow but this game is just so beautiful I need to play it

0:35 when i had this cutscene, my character was wearing the royal remains helm. So in this shot there was just a skeleton with some decomposed skin and hair looking back at her which i thought looked pretty funny.

this is actually the most beautiful boss fight

Let me guess you get to make the Moonlight Sword

I'm surprised Ranni never figures out the Tarnished she has serve her is the same one that attacks her mum lmao

This second phase cut scene is my favorite in the game so far! I love Ranni's voice and the arena and music is beautiful! I did get punished for also being a mage since you need to be up in her face as much as possible! I might've had a breakdown or two trying to beat her lol

While this isn't my favorite boss fight, it is however my favorite boss arena. The arena in the second phase with the moon in the background is absolutely beautiful

I felt bad having to fight her. The damn woman has had a horrible depressing life and she is currently imprisoned in the library against her will. I’m just glad we don’t kill her, that would have been pretty sadistic even by FromSoft standards. I’ve always wondered why she attacks us in Phase 1 though.. Since afterwards she seems chill. Phase 2 isn’t her really so I don’t count that.

Beautiful fight

0:55 Hush, little culver. I'll soon birth thee anew, a sweeting fresh and pure... 3:30 Ahh, my beloved... Have no fear,I will hold thee.Patience... Ye will be countless born,foever and ever. 4:00 Upon my name as Ranni the Witch. Mother's rich slumber shall not be disturbed by thee. Foul trespasser. Send word far and wide. Of the last Queen of Caria. Renalla of the Full Moon. 4:39 And the majesty of the night she conjureth

I absolutely didnt expect such an amazing and beautiful fight and character! So far not many bosses have been amazing but the game is REALLY starting to become MUCH better by the time you reach Raya Lucaria and Altus Plateau. Insane. Im so hyped. The first 20 hours i wasnt that impressed with this game at all actually, was even bored at some points. But this, this is one of my new top favorite bosses of the series

4:30 full mooh?

So many memorable bosses, but my favorite has to be her *Rennela, Queen of Full Moon* What a majestic and beautiful backdrop. I love her Ultimate !! Please explode me with your full moon!!!🌙 🌕 💥 💀

Only just recently did I realize that Ranni was conjuring all of that, including the Renalla in her prime. Ranni is incredibly powerful apparently.

Rennala is like a combination of a deacons of the deep and pinwheel style boss between the two phases.

Melee Build Tip: If you're having trouble with her 2nd phase, after she fires her initial kamehameha, use the Lone Wolves ash summon. They interrupt many of her spells and keep her stunlocked long enough for you get some serious hits in. And when she warps away the wolfs will chase her and repeat the process. Worked so well for me she didn't even get the chance to summon anything. It felt like I was bullying her.

No dought, the best mage fight in the game. No weapons just pure magic, using summons and range to avoid getting hurt and fights like a powerful wizard. From soft has out did itself with this fight, showing the powerful magic caster in boss form

I think this may be my favorite boss fight in Elden Ring I love the music and the lullaby in phase one, then phase 2 hits and its such a beautiful setting/illusion.

Kai need to watch this right now 😢

I almost tear on Rennalas loneliness, sadness, abandonment,.psychological detriment and love. You can feel it on her voice and confirm it with her story or the glimpses of information you get. I can't imagine how would it be in her prime; she would probably beat you in seconds. What a beautiful masterpiece 🥲❤️

Hats off to people who play this . I'm new to it and I'm so bad at it . Love the depth and atmosphere though

This boss is by far the most annoying boss in elden ring if u don't have the DPS to finish it quickly edit: i take it back, fire giants are now the worst

I don’t know why but this boss fight feels so calming on some weird subliminal level, like it’s still an intense and difficult boss but the music and the atmosphere just make it feel calm and comforting

Ngl I wanted to watch this whole fight again just to see how beautiful this sequence was with Rennala. I was able to beat her in 1 attempt with a +10 zweihander but tbh I never really took all of the gorgeousness that was in this bossfight (didnt even knew there was a dragon spirit). This was the very first boss from a game that made me want play against her again and again, and the fact that she became a respec npc is such an amazing reward for players. Fromsoftware designed her so well and she became one of my all time faves

Those students are like "mmm you have very pretty feet" Oh, Michael Zaki, never change.

This has bloodbrone vibe and i'm all for it.

Rennala's 2nd phase is glorious i love the arena we fight her in with the water and moon in the background epic fight one of my favorites.

I so want to know what they are singing. Somethings I hear "sweetings" "- our mother's amber."

This boss fight was supposed to be easy yet i still f it up

this is crazy. this has to be a perfect run on this boss. it's beautiful

Her only coherent dialogue spoken with a sound mind was expressing her love for Ranni and wishing her powers to thrive and her vision for the lands to be fulfilled. This almost made me cry

Me: This first phase is a joke (Flashes back to the divine dragon) Also Me: Ooohhh, this gonna be good!

That second phase area had my jaw dropped the whole fight.... I loved this fight :D

That first cutscene reminds me of Nioh, this was an amazing boss

This game is, hands down, my favorite video game ever, and I've been gaming since 1992 when I was a kid. Boss fights like this are the reason why. Also, OF COURSE Rennala is barefoot. Miyazaki and his foot fetish, lmao.

Loved the fight, the first phase was a little too deacons-y for my like, but it wasn't anything offensive. The second phase was balls to the walls, pontiff combos with spells and summons that range from negligible to the Bloodhound Knight and Agheel. Yet everything is perfectly balanced out, the summons aren't too overbearing, you can stagger her, her spells are all Farley easy to dodge and a few can leave her wide open for seconds.

when i found out that this fight restarts again i dedicated myself to not die so it took me 20 minutes of straight rolling and get one hit in every time shes casting and not running away, finding the singing girls was an absolute fucking horror but at the same time it was nice and chill

this game is literally ART, just WOW

It's like fight Four bloodborne boss at same time 1°phase is micolash+celestial emissary 2° phase is Rom+Ludwig holy blade

She is the 2nd hardest boss , only next to the soldier of God Rick

I have 4 Great Runes, about to do another legacy dungeon, but so far this is easily my favorite boss.

this boss is buggy in co-op, her minions won't trigger the gold aura around them. Meaning she will be perma invul throughout the fight.

Phase 1 _Broken Queen Of The Full Moon_ _Rennala_ Phase 2 _Empryen Inheritor Of Moonlight_ *Ranni The Witch*

This boss was absolutely nutty. I came in at Level 71 because I had fought Radahn first, as well as basically doing everything not-Academy-related for the previous forty-five hours, because I didn't know how to get in. Still, judging by what I've seen, even at the recommended level she's one majestic pushover.

I beat this boss first try and after realizing i killed a demi god first try i had to pause for a minute because my heart was beating a thousand beats per minute

Does anyone know what the whispering voice @4:49 is saying? Right after the cutscene and before comet azur fires

F*king hell of an intro... For souls games I usually imagine my self in the boots of my character, and this boss intro would probably just "you died" me from heart attack.

I usually hate bullet hell stuff but this is a fight I’d LOVE an ‘Inner’ version of.

That second phase was truly an awesome. The boss fight itself was "meh" and I got panicky when I ran out of flasks and she had like an inch of health left. But that scenery with the moon in the background. THAT was great.

I was doing the quest line for Ranni and I was hesitant to fight Renalla. i thought it would anger Ranni so i tried to open the chest and get out of there but i couldn't. It was the only way to get the Dark moon ring and i was relieved that Renalla survived.

i think i got very lucky last night. i found her by myself with 5 of my 7 flasks, took her down on my first try!!! i am in no means a souls vet, margit took me like 40 tries. but the first phase gave me deacons vibe immediately. i got lucky in the second phase because she didnt summon anything, which i didn't know she does until i watched this video and read the comments. she spammed the hell out of magic though, getting her combo down on mid-dodge rolls is actually very easy! (phase 2 was with 2 flasks left and i used my spirit summon for the first time)

Bro this fight sent shivers down my spine, her floating in the air singing lullabies while these children demon things attacked me with books, it was so fun lmao.

what the hell happened to hogwarts
