Elden Ring Astel boss fight walkthrough
The battle with Astel is pretty straightforward.
There are no cutscene phase changes or second health bars.
Like all the best boss fights, this one is all about studying your opponent.
There are no gimmicks here.
Astel just about always opens up with a purple Cosmic Laser, which well discuss in detail below.
Keep an eye on those, and youll be able to see everything but the Gravity Wave coming.
However, Astels limbs and head take significantly more damage.
Astels many leg-arm-abomination limbs are pretty easy to hit, making them your safest targets.
Astel starts the attack by rearing back and charging, before lowering its head and staring you down.
Just before releasing the beam, Astels head twitches up a bit.
Roll when you see that motion and you might reliably dodge Cosmic Laser.
This ability creates a translucent purple field around Astel and suspends debris in the air.
The lift part of Gravity Wave functions like a grab and cannot be blocked.
This may sound obvious, but your best bet is just to run out of Gravity Wave.
Avoid Frostbite weapons and spells
Astels elemental and status resists are all identical, with one exception.
Astel is completely immune to the Frostbite status.
Thats everything you should probably defeat Astel, Naturalborn of the Void!
