The Leonine Misbegotten is the boss of Castle Morne in Elden Ring. This chimeric creature has taken the blade of the castle for its own. And while it and its ilk are bestial foes, the Leonine Misbegotten is a skilled swordsman. We’ll walk you through how to survive its deadly swings and come out on top in our Elden Ring boss guide!

Elden Ring: How to beat the Leonine Misbegotten

The main thing to watch out for in this fight is the Leonine Misbegotten’s unpredictable maneuverability. It is significantly more animalistic than many other weapon-wielding foes in Elden Ring. It is as likely to pounce and stab wildly as it is to swing with technique. Keep an eye on the beast’s posture and you should be able to predict what it is about to do next, despite its wide variety of moves.

Leonine Misbegotten Boss mechanics

• The Misbegotten will often dash at you and swing it sword vertically.
• It is capable of performing a leaping slash, closing the distance before you and dealing a great deal of guard damage if you attempt to block
• The Leonine Misbegotten can stomp the ground to disrupt and stagger you, before following up with its blade.
• If it needs to close the distance between you, the boss will roar before dashing and swinging.
• It can somewhat unpredictably leap forward and deal damage as soon as it lands. At times it crouches begore leaping, giving you a better indicator of what it is about to do.
• It can also leap upwards and then stab its sword into the ground as it descends.
• Other than using its blade, the beast will often slashes at you with its claws, twice in quick succession.
• It has access to a spinning slash that can connect twice unless you manage to dodge or block both hits.
