Elden Ring is the newest title from the legendary From Software game studio. Known for its difficulty and unique boss encounters, Elden Ring has presented fans with the opportunity to explore a truly fascinating world. While the main story only includes about twelve bosses, there are dozens of others that populate the Lands Between. One such boss is the Royal Revenant, which can present players with a dangerous, and rewarding, challenge.

Facing the Royal Revenant is largely a matter of preparation. Players might want to take the time to acquire one of Elden Ring's armor sets before they decide to face the boss, though they won't want to sacrifice speed. The Royal Revenant is an enemy that takes advantage of quick and powerful attacks that can be devastating to players.

The Royal Revenant fight can be a difficult encounter. While not as hard as other bosses or Elden Ring's PVP battles, it can still pose a significant challenge. This is because the Royal Revenant moves quickly and chains dangerous attacks. It can also spit poison and 'teleport' to different areas off the boss room, surprising players with powerful combos. For these reasons, players should make sure they can move quickly and that they have light weapons equipped. Fast attacks can be extremely helpful when facing the Royal Revenant.

In addition, the revenant is also weak to Fire and Faith. Using flame oils on weapons can be helpful, as well as Faith-based spells. In fact, players with the 'heal' spell can use it to make quick work of the boss. And, for those who find the fight too difficult, finding one of Elden Ring's rune farming locations can be very helpful. More Vitality, Endurance, or Faith can make all the difference when it comes to facing the Royal Revenant.

In the end, the boss fight with the Royal Revenant is one that shouldn't be too hard for players who prepare and use the Revenant's weaknesses to their advantage. And, while there are some players who don't participate in lesser boss fights, these encounters help make the Lands Between feel more entertaining and full. Indeed, as the enemies become more challenging, it is increasingly beneficial for players to explore the Lands Between and find new bosses to battle and defeat. Along with merchants in Elden Ring and the many items and runes available in-game, players can become powerful enough to attempt to claim the ultimate title of Elden Lord.

Elden Ring is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
