Alright, let's get real for a second. You hop into the Lands Between, pick a class that looks cool, and start swinging. No plan, no worries, right? Well, that feeling lasts until you run smack into a brick wall named Malenia or have a very one-sided conversation with Mohg. Suddenly, those points you dumped into Arcane because it sounded neat feel... less than optimal. That's the harsh reality of Elden Ring's late game—it doesn't pull its punches. But hey, don't sweat it too much! The game, in its infinite wisdom (and cruelty), gives you a mulligan. It's called Rebirth, and it's your ticket to fixing a build that's gone off the rails.
The key to this whole 'do-over' process is a certain scholarly sorceress. You'll need to track down Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. She's not out for a stroll, though. You'll find her holding court deep within the Raya Lucaria Academy, that massive, magical university smack in the center of Liurnia of the Lakes. Getting to her is a journey in itself, but consider it a rite of passage.
How to Beat Rennala and Unlock Rebirth
Facing Rennala is a two-act play, and each act has a very different vibe.
- Phase One: This part is more of a puzzle than a straight-up brawl. The boss herself is chilling inside a protective golden bubble, floating around the room. Your job? Hunt down and eliminate her glowing, singing minions. Each one you take down weakens her shield. Pop enough of them, and she'll crash to the floor, vulnerable. Rush in, get your hits in, and repeat until the real fight begins. It's a bit strange, honestly—like interrupting a very intense choir practice.
. . . .
And so on.
