Elden Ring - How to kill Astel Naturalborn of the Void as melee (secret boss)

[Kasaaz]

One other tip for people struggling, it's can be easier to fight if you don't lock on too. Just channel your inner Monster Hunter.

Wasn’t getting anywhere, but 5 attempts using this technique and I was able to finally put down this boss. Thank you for the guide!

[Prawnsly.]

As a melee user, I would recommend to use Flame of the redmanes as it breaks the poise of bosses rather quick, usually its 2-5 uses until their poise breaks for crit which is super useful

[Shadowstalker]

Having the move sets spelled out really helped me and I defeated him on my second try after watching this video

[ThanhLai]

Finally beat this boss after watching your video, thanks! I should've gone for the head a lot more.

Dude, I wish I could give a million likes. As a lvl 72 melee strength build, this bastard really pissed me off and just about put me in a Sekiro put the game down for a week mode….I did exactly what you suggested and killed him within 2 new tries! Thanks!!

Scarlett Rott also works hit twice in each phases or four in each phase and it will melt him down quickly

I was ready to crown this game into my Mount Rushmore until Radahn onward as a melee player. My God. Way too many of these bosses are total dogshit as melee. Really, really disappointing.

[nanshahernanda]

Thanks bro! after 15++ tries i finally beat it.

[loegos]

It took me a few attempts, but this technique is legit and very helpful💯

[BB-kptb]

BRO! Thank you! This is exactly what I needed.

[thth]

finally a helpful tutorial showing the attacks. Thank you!

[HO-ehiu]

Thank !! try this for 20 time and then i finally beat it !!

[redsalamon]

there is something satisfying in those hits in 1:24

He's not a secret boss, sure he's not titled to the main quest bosses but he's not a secret one either, in Ranni's quest you have to kill him in order to progress through her quest

You my friend are the saviour. Thank you so much for the guide.

[tendietyrant]

I'm using the same weapon and I keep forgetting I can jump attack in this game. I was struggling to hit his head but I'm sure I'll first try him next time I play thanks

[MONKEYz]

mine has this weird glitch where it attacks you relentlessly and absolutely shits on my character with a single attack.

[dimitarzlatanov]

Spot on guide. He was wiping me out every time, until I watched this. Killed it on the first time after it.

[Masta_jay]

I haven't gotten here yet but I've been using the same weapon & summon I'll keep these strats in my head.
