This is how to beat Elemer of the Briar in the latest FromSoftware project. The gaming community is blessed with a new Soulslike project filled with countless optional side content and enemy bosses that can be challenging to face without the proper gear and equipment.
Fortunately, most of the bosses added by the developers are optional and the story will not be affected if these enemies are untouched or unbothered. However, some players will gladly take on the challenge of facing these bosses to get the full Soulslike experience.
Where Can You Find Elemer of the Briar?
Elemer of the Briar can be found in the Shaded Castle around the Altus Plateau. The game developers designed the Lands Between to be massive and gave Elden Ring players full authority to traverse different regions at their leisure.
Players can start the trek to the Shaded Castle from the Bridge of Iniquity where they can find a Site of Grace. It will take some fiddling to reach the castle which is a perfect opportunity to summon Torrent to ride across the bridge and then take a right to hop down to two Spirit Springs.
How to Prepare to Fight Elemer of the Briar?
This optional boss has a handful of attacks that players should be on the lookout for. Elemer of the Briar may look like an unassuming foe but it packs a mean punch with great speed. Elden Ring players will have to keep dodging and rolling similar to the strategy of how to beat the Royal Revenant since Elemer is much more aggressive than most bosses.
Players can summon Mimic Tear Ashes or the Lone Wolf Ashes to get Elemer off their backs. The arena is hosted in a tight space and players should start rolling immediately to get enough distance between the boss. Armed with a massive sword with an insane reach, players can either risk it for the biscuit and get close to dealing melee damage or attack from afar.
Suggested Loadout
- Rotten Breath
- Radagon Icon

Speed is key to survival and players should be familiar with the small room they can move around while fighting against this boss. Elemer of the Briar can grab and slash at enemies within range; however, these attacks can be easily avoided if timed right.
It is worth noting that these attacks can be deflected with a shield. Elden Ring players with a strong defense can withstand the incoming wave of attacks. Summoning spirits with a tank build like the Lone Wolf Ashes are great options to buy players enough time to use Rotten Breath.
For the melee approach, players should equip a heavy weapon to deal the most damage but should be prepared to take the risk of being hit with another deadly attack. Elemer of the Briar is a human enemy which makes it susceptible to the bleed effect making the Bloody Slashes Ashes of War a must-have for this fight.
Repeating the cycle of using Rotten Breath while keeping a safe distance will guarantee this enemy’s defeat. Players will be rewarded with 24000 runes, The Legendary Marais Executioner’s Sword, and the Briar Greatshield.
