After reaching the plateau of Altus in Elden Ring, it is once again possible to go in many different directions, including a half-sunken castle in a poisonous swamp. This is probably Miyazaki's idea of a spa treatment. The boss who awaits you there is not overly powerful, even if he has some unusual abilities.
Preparations
- It's really not intuitive, nor the logical order in which the content is supposed to be explored, but if you want to get as far as you can through the character quests, it's best to wait before doing the Bastiomber and Elemer. It is better to complete all the steps of the quests of Freed Pat and Volcano Manor before. Thus, you will find Pat just in front of the entrance to the boss room, with a last message and a quest item.
- Spirit Summons are possible but not too important in this fight.
- The damage is exclusively physical during this confrontation. Elemer is vulnerable to Lightning damage, and he has no ailment immunity.
Elemer of the Briar Fight
- He is a very painful enemy, from a distance he will throw his great sword and sweep the area twice before usually bringing it back to him. But sometimes it happens to immediately follow up with a new series of scans. If you're playing from a distance, try to stay as far away as the small room size allows.
- Elemer just walks, so it's relatively easy to outrun him. But he sometimes happens to charge while using his shield, which is always surprising and painful.
- It's not a particularly formidable melee boss, but don't underestimate it. It has very few openings, and with a slow weapon, you'll often run out of time to take advantage of it, since you have to dodge or block large spinning shots.
- Sword throws can still occur, as soon as there is the slightest distance between the boss and yourself.

Many secrets have crept into the Underworld, and there may be many more yet to be discovered. A Twitter user would have discovered in the hidden files of the game the existence of a bestiary… Project to come or to be abandoned?
