Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is here, and it is massive, giving us access🐼 to many new areas, weapons, and boss encounters that will push us to our limits and test our patience. The Dancer of Ranah is one of such new bosses in the expansi𒉰on, who you can find in the Southern Nameless Mausoleum in the Southern Coast region.

While🐲 she isn't the most challenging opponent in the expansion, she packs a punch. Her fluid and intoxicating movements can be tricky to pin down, leading to you getting obliterated before you even know what hit you. Nonetheless, you can have her bested quickly with a solid game plan!

Dancer Of Ranah Overview

The Dancer of Ranah is an optional boss in the Shadow of Erdtree expansion of Elden Ring but offers unique rewards that may push you into seeking her out and defeating her. As mentioned above, you can find her in the Southern Nameless Mausoleum on the Southern Coast.

She is classified as an Enemy-type boss and is a humanoid, meaning you can do things such as backstabs to her ꦆor parry her incoming actions. All other information regarding her combat stats can be found in the table below, which also includes ๊the rewards you will receive for besting her in combat!

Dancer Of Ranah Combat Information

How To Defeat Dancer Of Ranah In Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree

Despite being swift, agile, and overwhelmingly aggressive, the Dancer of Ranah can 𝔍be taken down 𒉰relatively quickly if you come at her with a solid strategy and plan.

We had to ensure we kept proper distance from her during some of her more devastating attacks while also maintaining enough FP to utilize our weapon's long-range Weapon Art to deal tremendous amounts of damage to her.

Now, while your weapon will likely be different than ours, the general strategies for evading her attacks and getting your own offense started will be the same; you just might have to adjust a few things slightly to get the most out of your weapon and playstyle of choice!

Magic users benefit tremendously in this fight, as their ability to land attacks on her from a distance makes some of her actions useless, as you can simply run away from t💟hem, turn around, and barrage her with your Magic. While you will🐻 still have to know how to evade her attacks properly, your ability to punish her will be much better than melee users.

Dancer Of Ranah: Jumping Slash

One of the Dancer of Ranah's most popular moves is her Jumping Slash, where she will sprint forward before performing a leaping slash. Timing a roll just before her attack lands will negate all damage, but you could also run in the opposite direction from her when you see her leap.

After she lands, you can sneak a hit in, but then you must go back on the defensive as she will quickly follow up with another attack right after. Don't get too greedy with📖 this attack,✅ as it can and will lead to trouble!

Dancer Of Ranah: Twirling Slash

Another common action of the Dancer of Ranah is her Twirling Slash, where she will perform an advancing slash while twirling toward you. While a beautiful-looking move, it hurts a lot, so we recommend not get🍎tin𒉰g caught in it.

For this action, we highly recommend just creating distance and having her finish the action before attempting to attack. While it can be interrupted with a strong enough attack, you do not want it to hit you. Again, you can sneak a hit or two in after she performs it, so 🍎we recommend just waiting it out before acting!

Dancer Of Ranah: Flame Fan

Probably her most potent attack is the Flame Fan, which has her cast a far-reaching and widespread flame attack that will melt your health away the moment it touches you. And, if that wasn't bad enough, she will often spam this attack back-to-back-to-back, making it one💮 of the most obnoxious tools at her disposal.

The moment you see her begin to perform this action, run as far away from her as you can and don't even attempt to attack her afterward. Just return to neutral and wait to deal with her following action, which might be this attack again. While this move is interruptable, the damage generated from it makes it not worth risking!

Dancer Of Ranah: Dancing Blades

Speaking of potent attacks from the Dancer of Ranah, her Dancing Blades are devastating to get caught by and last a very long time, making it hard to evade. However, like some of her previous actions, creating space between you and her will allow you to avoid all damage.

Additionally, after she finishes this action, she will be left vulnerable for a few seconds, allowing you to follow up with a few attacks of your own. Again, we wouldn't try to interrupt her Dancing Blades; just let her carry the action out while you run away from her, and🐈 then pounce on her the moment she finishes!

Dancer Of Ranah: Double Slash

Following that, another highly-spammable action of the Dancer of Ranah is her Double Slash, having her perform two quick slashes in rapid succession that can deal a surprising amount of damage on contact.

To evade this attack, you can perform two well-timed rolls to negate all damage or can run away from her until she finishes the attack. If you choose to roll, you can land two follow-up hits onto her, whereas running away will only let you get one in if you clo💮se the gap fast enough. Again, don't get too greedy wi🐼th your counter hits!

Dancer Of Ranah: Drink

Lastly, when you get the Dancer of Ranah's HP down to the halfway mark, she will Drink from her Flask of Crimson Tears, having her replenish her HP. This action is interruptable, but she does it so fast that you may not be able to reach her in time. Ho꧂wever, she can only do this once, so you do nꦚot have to worry about it for the rest of the encounter.

Overall, after she does this, she will repeat the same attacks outlined above and add nothing new to the mix. This is essentially an endurance test at this point, but u🌞tilizing the strategies highlighted above will indeed have you best her in no time.

Taking her down will net you with 80,000 Runes, her attire, and even her armaments, making it a must for Dexterity-focused players who love to carve th📖eir way through their opposition fluidly!
