After navigating the chariot death maze that is Auriza Hero’s Grave, you will reach the dungeon’s boss fog.

This is adouble boss fight, and both enemies are fairlyaggressive. While the boss arena might feel sizeable at first, you’ll quickly wish you had more room to move around. This fight is aboutpatienceandspatial awareness. It is often better tocircle aroundto have more space to back away rather than get that extra hit because each of their attacks staggers you and takes a huge chunk of health away. Also:be prepared to die several times. This boss fight is a real difficulty leap over the vast majority of theMinor Dungeonsin Elden Ring.
