How to Defeat The Divine Beast Dancing Lion in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
The first step to beating the boss is touse the Redmane Freyja NPC Summonfrom the gold sign outside the door of the Divine Beast Dancing Lion. This will summon the character from the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace and will help you fight in battle.
You should also bring your own summon into the fight, like theMimic Spirit Ash, to help cause distractions as well. This can be a difficult fight even if leveled up with Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ash.
The first phase of the fight will have the Dancing Lion aggressively hit you with headbutts and smoke attacks. The best option is toconstantly roll and dodgethese attacks while aiming for the head and rear when possible.
The second phase of the fight will start using differentelemental attacks, such as lightning, ice, and wind. There will be lightning bolts, shocks coming from the ground, frostbite-causing blizzards, ice spikes, and tornadoes.
This is where the companions come in handy to distract it while you dodging from a safe distance. It will mix the elemental attacks with its regular attacks, so it is best tomove forward with its first moveset.
