How To Beat Romina, Saint of the Bud In Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree

Finding Romina, Saint of the Bud is harder than beating them in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. They’re unskippable since they guard the way to reach the final boss in Shadow of the Erdtree.

One of the best things about defeating bosses is getting their Remembrance, which is an item that grants you one of their weapons or spells they use against you. Not to mention, the number of runes you collect from defeating these endgame bosses. If players are struggling to beat this abomination, they can read on for some tips on how to beat Romina, Saint of the Bud in Elden Ring DLC.

How To Reach Romina, Saint of the Bud In Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree

It doesn’t take long to reach Romina, Saint of the Bud if you know your way around the Ancient Ruins of Rauh in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. However, if it’s your first time exploring the jungle of the Land of Shadow, there are many creatures and mazes waiting to stop you from reaching the Church of the Bud.

Start from the Shadow Keep’s Store House, First Floor Site of Lost Grace, and take your left to find an elevator.

Once you get off the elevator, take your right and keep moving until the first door appears on your left. Be careful, a Living Jar is waiting to ambush you there. However, still, take that door, jump down the balcony, and keep moving forward.

Once you make it to the West Rampart Site of Lost Grace, you’ll find a tiny door next to the huge gate in front of you. Open that door to find a bridge filled with enemies behind it. Defeat them and proceed forward until you reach the second elevator that takes you out of the Shadow Keep into the Ancient Ruins of Rauh in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Once you’re out of the Shadow Keep, go west and keep following that road until you stumble upon ancient ruins with no name. Go inside and keep moving northwest to find the first gate to your right. Open it to find some scorpions and the second gate should be to the hard left.

After you’re out of the second gate, keep moving southwest to find the third gate behind a large pillar in the middle of the chamber. Go through and move forward to descend through the gap in front of you with the help of the Spiritspring. Once you make it down, keep taking your left, riding your Torrent under multiple bridges. Eventually, you’ll find the Rauh Ancient Ruins, East Site of Lost Grace.

From there, jump to the bridge next to you and move to the southwest, following the bridge’s road. Be careful as a Furnace Golem will wake up once you touch that bridge and start shooting fire at you. Reach the end of the bridge and jump to the right onto another bridge that leads to the Furnace Golem’s area. Once you’re there, keep heading south without taking any side to finally reach another Site of Lost Grace.

The final area before reaching Romina, Saint of the Bud, is a little tricky since it also has a few mazes and enemies protecting their corridors. First, take the southeastern stairs and turn right once you’re on top. Inside that chamber, take your left and follow that corridor to find an elevator at its end.

After making it out, keep heading north to find a small gate that leads into a chamber filled with Pests and Rot. Take the stairs to your left to find the last Site of Grace before the Romina, Saint of the Bud boss fight in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Romina, Saint of the Bud is a necessary boss to beat to progress in the main story of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Their main strength is their ability to apply Rot with all their attacks, especially when they catch you with one of their tails. They’re also very mobile and make the most of their arena by moving to a different location with each one of their attacks, which makes landing hits on them a hard task for melee players.

Discover the Madding Hand weapon in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Find its exact location in the Abyssal Woods and try out its unique skill.

Unlike most of the DLC bosses, it’s not recommended to use shields against Romina since they apply Rot and aren’t very aggressive. Romina’s pattern is consistent and normal, while their hits are hurtful if they land.

The boss is weak against Frost and Bleed, so go in there with your Mimic Tear and one of those two builds to deal more damage against them. The boss is also weak against heavy attacks and their stance will break every three to four heavies. For that, it’s better to be aggressive against Romina and read their pattern to dodge their attacks with ease.

During the second phase, most of Romina’s moveset will start spreading Rot butterflies, which will build up the Rot meter faster. You can keep going after the Saint of the Bud since Rot will slowly reduce your HP or use some of Elden Ring’s items and Spells that can cure Rot.
