To kill Divine Beast Dancing Lion, you’re going to want to move fast. Heavy weapons will see you struggle to keep the pace here, so you’ll likely take a lot of damage. We recommend melee users use hammers and straight swords if possible.

Divine Beast Dancing Lion seems to have a pretty big weakness to Fire spells, and you can put a lot of distance between yourself and this Elden Ring boss. Outside the boss room, you’ll have the opportunity to summon Redmane Freyja, as well as your own Spirit Ash Summons to help in combat. While this will give Divine Beast Dancing Lion more HP, it’s more than worth it, especially for magic users, who can simply use both as bait while hitting it with Fire spells from afar.

While this fight spans three different phases, you don’t particularly need to change up your approach. Keep moving fast, and spamming those Fire spells, and Divine Beast Dancing Lion will be defeated in no time.
