Rellana, Twin Moon Knight is a boss in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. She is encountered in Castle Ensis.
Overview[]
Born as a princess into the Carian Royal Family, Rellana is the younger sister of Rennala, who gifted her lustrous black hair [1]. In her childhood, she and her elder sister met the twin moon, which were overlapping, as though nestled against one another [2]. Rellana also had a sole entry into ritual combat—a demonstration of fidelity to the Erdtree [3].
At some point, Count Ymir instructed Rellana in the sorcerous arts, though he later abandoned his allegiance to the moon. [4] In a similar fashion, she later disavowed her birthright and chose to stand at the side of Messmer the Impaler instead, knowing full well that not even the brilliance of the moon could grant him succor. Before long, she became known as the Sword of Messmer. [5]
During the search for Miquella, a Tarnished warrior fought through Castle Ensis and engaged in combat with Rellana, defeating her and opening a path to the Shadow Keep.
Boss Fight[]
Rellana is an optional boss as she can be defeated in order to access Scadu Altus.
Needle Knight Leda can be summoned to fight this boss.
| Moveset List | |
| Blade Dance | Phase 1 |
|---|---|
| Rellana's bread and butter combo starter; jumps to the side and will do a spin slash followed by a quick stab. Will then follow with a myriad of attacks from then on. | |
| 3-String Attack | Phase 1 |
| Slices each weapon once and ends with Double Thrust with both light great swords. | |
| 6-String Attack | Phase 1 |
| Starts with an upward thrust with each weapon, followed by one spinning attack, a quick sweep with each weapon and ends with another Double Thrust. | |
| Carian Phalanx | Phase 1 & 2 |
Will only use when at a distance. There are two variations:
During phase 2, both moves summon more glintblades. | |
| Carian Sovereignty | Phase 1 |
| Lifts one of her swords, charging up a massive magical greatsword that is then slammed down, and after a brief pause performs a sweep. | |
| Moonlight Wave | Phase 1 |
| Crouches while holding the sword behind her; after a second the sword will start will start to glow bright and then fire a magic arc towards your direction. She may do this attack instantly or within a slight delay. | |
| Sleight of Sword - Flame | Phase 1 |
| Using the Fire-imbued Greatsword, Rellana will make a twisting move to create a tornado-like flame around her. This move damages multiple times to everything within the AoE and creates smaller rings of fire in the outer area. Rellana can repeat this move up to 3 times. | |
| Sleight of Sword - Magic | Phase 1 |
| Will make a series of slashes in different directions using the magic-imbued Greatsword. After about 4 slashes will raise her sword over her head and strike a heavy attack, and adding an arc projectile that travels directly in front of her. | |
| Sword Slash | Phase 1 |
| Slashes with both great swords in different directions. | |
| Sword Stab | Phase 1 |
| Slashes with both greatswords in different directions. | |
| Moon-and-Fire Stance | Phase 2 |
| Upon reaching 50% of her health, Rellana will imbue both of her swords with Glintstone magic and Messmer Fire, respectively. | |
| Rellana's Twin Moons | Phase 2 |
| Will only do this after reaching 30% of her health. After rising into the air, she will summon two large moons and then sends down one after the other into the ground, before slamming down herself. All three attacks create a massive shockwave which launches targets into the air, making them get hit by the others. | |
