Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon: Defeat her to unlock respec options.
Starscourge Radahn: A massive challenge, but his Great Rune is essential for progression.

- Facing Radagon and the Elden Beast
The final stretch involves two back-to-back boss fights:
Radagon of the Golden Order: A powerful foe who tests your stamina and adaptability. His attacks deal heavy holy damage, so equip holy-resistant items.
The Elden Beast: The final boss is a massive, divine creature with AoE attacks and ranged abilities. Equip talismans like the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman to boost defense and bring plenty of healing items.
