The second major dungeon of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is Castle Ensis, a massive fortress that stands between you and the next region of the Land of Shadow.
While Castle Ensis doesn’t have as many nooks and crannies to explore as something like Belurat, Tower Settlement, it contains a gauntlet of powerful foes that you must defeat in order to reach the final boss. Things don’t get any easier once you get there, either, since Rellana, Twin Moon Knight is a highly aggressive skill check of a boss that is sure to frustrate many players.
While it’s not quite a boss fight, your journey through Castle Ensis begins with a big battle. There’s a giant troll waiting for you at the end of the bridge leading into the castle. Armed with a huge greatsword, it can deplete your entire HP bar with only a few strikes.
Thankfully, it uses mostly the same moveset as the countless other trolls that you’ve slain after dozens of hours in the Lands Between. You can use a shield to block its sword swings if you have enough stamina, but we recommend dodge rolling into every attack and sticking as close to the troll’s feet as possible. If you’re close enough to its feet, you can bait out its stomp attack which is much easier to dodge than the rest of its moves.
You only need to defeat the bridge troll once. It won’t respawn after you rest at a Site of Grace. If you’re really struggling, you can just run past it and try to make your way to the next Site of Grace. You can easily outrun it and focus on making it to the Castle Ensis Checkpoint at the top of the hill.
Whether you’ve defeated the troll or not, you’ll still need to continue upward to reach the next part of the dungeon. Head up the stairs and follow the path forward and you’ll see a Messmer soldier sitting near a fire with a dog. These Messmer soldiers are the main threats of Castle Ensis. They’re equipped with a shouting ability that will greatly enhance their speed and power, so try to take them out before they can use it.
Before continuing through the cave to reach the next challenge, turn around and climb the stairs to reach the roof of the nearby building. There’s a ladder that’ll bring you to the top of a tower where you’ll find Milady. This is a Light Greatsword, an all-new weapon archetype introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree. It’s one of my personal favorite weapons from the DLC, and it’s a nice middle ground between a Strength and Dexterity weapon.
After grabbing Milady, head through the cave and proceed further into the fortress. On the other side of the cave is the next Site of Grace, but there are a few noteworthy things just before it. If you turn right immediately after exiting the cave, you’ll find some Messmer soldiers sitting by a campfire. Remember that they have a chance to drop the Messmer soldier armor set, so pop a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot to boost item discovery if you want it. Past the soldiers, you can drop off a ledge to grab the Scriptstone that you couldn’t reach earlier.
To the left of the cave is a room with a chest containing the Loyal Knight’s Cookbook, which will unlock some of the new Shadow of the Erdtree crafting recipes for you. This one in particular lets you craft magic infusion items like Royal Magic Grease, which coats your weapon and adds magic damage to it.
The big threat in this area is a patrolling black knight armed with a greatshield and a mace. He’s surprisingly fast for his size, and he’ll perform a swift guard counter if you smack his shield. Be careful and wait for a safe opening. The main thing to watch out for is the glow of his mace. If he strikes the ground with a glowing mace, it will launch a follow-up magic attack that can easily catch you off guard.
If you can’t beat the knight, just run past him and you’ll find the Castle Ensis Checkpoint Site of Grace. There’s also a Miquella Cross waiting for you, so grab that Scadutree Fragment and upgrade your stats before you forget.
The Castle Ensis Checkpoint is the last Site of Grace you’ll encounter before you make it to the final boss room, but there’s a handy shortcut that you can unlock later on to make your route shorter. The main gate is locked for now, so the only route forward is to the right of it.
Kill the enemy standing over the nearby ledge and then drop down into the pit where you’ll find a group of dogs. Take them out and continue outside. There’s a waterfall, but you can turn right and make your way onto the roof of a building to grab an item from earlier. Once you have it, hop across the rocks and get on top of the waterfall.
Continue forward past thedogsturtles and you’ll see yet another waterfall. Yes, there’s a cave behind it. Head inside and grab the item before climbing the nearby ladder and entering the room with more Messmer soldiers.
One of them is waiting to ambush you on the left side, so be prepared. After you kill them, continue outside and you’ll find yourself on the other side of the locked gate from earlier. The room across the way lets you open it permanently. Shortcut unlocked!
On the other side of the gate is a bridge with a ton of soldiers waiting for you. Take them out and watch out for the crossbow-wielding one in the back. Continue forward and you’ll find some pesky casters that teleport away after every attack.
Wait for them to disappear and track the direction they teleport in to catch them when they reappear. Make sure to kill all of them before continuing forward, because there’s a tough fight ahead and you don’t want them harassing you.
Once all the casters are down, it’s time for a duel with Moonrithyll, Carian Knight. Moonrithyll is a standard greatsword-wielder who mixes in some minor magic with her attacks. She has a healing flask that she’ll use when her HP gets low, so keep the pressure on. She’s easy to stagger with enough melee strikes, and ranged builds should have a very easy time keeping her away.
Just like the troll from earlier, you only need to defeat Moonrithyll once and then the area will remain permanently clear. You’ll get Moonrithyll’s Knight Sword as a reward. Head inside the building that Moonrithyll was guarding and grab the Rellana’s Cameo Talisman from the table in the back of the room. It enhances attacks executed after remaining in the same stance.
Continue through the hallway of the building — watching out for the Carian scholars inside — and you’ll find yourself outside of a church. There’s a gate, but it’s not locked. Open the gate and proceed forward along the rampart. If you drop down to your left immediately after opening the gate, you’ll find a route that’ll get you onto the church rooftop where you can snag some helpful items like a Somber Smithing Stone.
There’s a large group of soldiers and dogs halfway across the wall, but you can keep the high ground and avoid them. You’ll eventually run into a tower (watch out for the soldier waiting to ambush you along the circular stairs). At the top of the stairs, look to your left to find a small room inside the tower containing a chest with an Imbued Sword Key, a key item that you can use back in The Lands Between.
There’s an elevator waiting for you just ahead, but another black knight is standing between you and safety. Use the same strategies from earlier or just run past it and activate the elevator. He has a chance to drop the black knight armor set though, and this is a good farming spot. After dealing with him, you’ll arrive at the final safe zone of Ensis Castle: the Castle Lord’s Chamber.
There’s nothing to do in the Castle Lord’s Chamber besides preparing for the fight ahead. There is a Somber Smithing Stone on the balcony outside, though.
現在是時候挑戰雙月騎士雷拉娜了。你可以在這場戰鬥中使用兩個召喚——針騎士勒達和乾葉丹恩——所以請確保你已經在通往恩西斯城堡的各個米奎拉十字架上與他們交談過以解鎖它們。如果您在這場戰鬥中遇到困難，我們還建議您尋找額外的斯卡杜樹碎片，因此，如果您在穿越城堡時感覺自己比平時更弱，請花一些時間進行探索。
Rellana 是一個非常具有侵略性的 Boss，她揮舞著雙刃並且可以使用火魔法，這使她基本上與基礎遊戲中的 Renalla 完全相反。儘管她的動作令人壓抑，但她卻非常容易預測。只要了解她的模式，你就會沒事的。
我們強烈建議在這場戰鬥中召喚另一名盟友，但僅此而已。不要同時召喚勒達和戴恩以及合作夥伴或模仿之淚。更多的召喚聽起來可能會讓戰鬥變得更容易，但實際上，它們只會大大增強雷拉娜的生命值，一旦你的幽靈支持者不可避免地在戰鬥中倒下，戰鬥就會變得令人難以置信的沮喪。
這場戰鬥的第一階段看到雷拉娜只使用她的雙劍，所以現在是學習她的技能的好時機。遠程構建將在這場戰鬥中度過一段非常輕鬆的時光，因為他們可以遠離雷拉娜，但她的高魔法抗性使施法者的戰鬥時間更長。我們建議躲避雷拉娜的攻擊並躲在她身後。她的雙刃的寬闊、橫掃的攻擊往往只會以圓錐體的形式擊中她的前方。
雷拉娜會在整個戰鬥中定期召喚漂浮的藍色閃光刀片，所以除了她的劍攻擊之外，還要準備好躲避這些閃光刀片。盡量靠近雷拉娜，這樣她就不會經常使用魔法。如果她從你身邊跳開以騰出空間，那麼她就準備施展咒語了。做好準備。
在戰鬥的第二階段，雷拉娜將使她的劍充滿紅色和藍色的火焰。她將以全場火焰攻擊開場，在整個區域產生火焰柱。觀察地板，看看他們會在哪裡，並相應地重新調整自己的位置。這種攻擊通常會融化任何召喚的幻影或靈魂灰燼，所以剩下的戰鬥將是一對一的戰鬥，除非你夠幸運。
在此階段有兩種極度致命的攻擊需要提防。首先，雷拉娜可以施放卡里安巨劍並揮舞一把覆蓋整個競技場的巨大光譜劍。你必須躲避這個，否則你可能會死。在這次攻擊中，她將進行垂直和水平攻擊的混合攻擊。
第二個需要注意的主要攻擊是她的雙月攻擊。這會召喚兩個滿月——類似於基礎遊戲中的雷納拉戰鬥——她會猛烈地摔到地上。這會產生你必須躲避的競技場範圍的 AOE。在最初的兩次猛擊之後，雷拉納將向下攻擊並發動最後一擊。如果你不躲避這些攻擊，你就會死。
雷拉娜的攻擊模式很容易記住，但她的速度如此之快且具有攻擊性，以至於你的閃避時機可能會非常困難。值得慶幸的是，她在幾次近戰攻擊後很容易搖搖晃晃，所以你可以在戰鬥中一兩次獲得致命一擊。雷拉娜對閃電傷害也很弱，所以將它注入你的武器或施放閃電法術來更快地擊倒她。
击败雷拉娜后，你将获得双月骑士的纪念。将其带到圆桌要塞，您可以将其兑换为雷拉纳的双刃或雷拉纳的双月。雷拉纳的双刃是一把轻型巨剑，具有与雷拉纳的能力相匹配的独特月火姿态能力。雷拉娜的双月是一种魔法，可以让你执行她的满月攻击。
这两个项目都非常强大并且使用起来非常有趣。我们个人建议使用雷拉纳的双刃，因为它独特的能力让你可以使用雷拉纳的魔法攻击，但你需要双持剑才能充分利用它们。如果你执意要使用盾牌，那么你应该跳过这个。不过，施法者绝对应该使用雷拉纳的双月，因为它是游戏中最强的法术之一。容易一点。首先，使用灵魂灰召唤来产生一群盟友，这样雷拉娜的注意力就会被分散。让一大群召唤兽挤满她也会导致她经常摇摇晃晃。你不仅可以利用致命攻击，还可以在雷拉娜处于恢复动画时用普通攻击向她发送垃圾邮件。
击败雷拉娜，你就可以进入斯卡杜阿特鲁斯，这是《树之影》的第二个主要区域。还有更多米盖拉十字架等你寻找，还有新的地下城等你探索，还有新的装备等你寻找。你还会发现一封神秘的僧侣信函，它会引导你走上解锁新的徒手格斗风格的道路。
