The Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has some of the hardest bosses in the game, one of which is Rakshasa. This guide is here to help you find and defeat him.
Where to find Rakshasa in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree (Location)
To find Rakshasa, head to the Shadow Keep. (1)and from there, travel to Castle Watering Hole. (2)Recluses River upstream (3)and finally, the Reclues River downstream (4) place of grace (in that order). Then, when you are at this place of grace, head north until you see some glowing tombs, where you can travel from the right side.
On the left side of these tombs, you will see a platform with shiny gold indicators. Jump right there and then to the platform lower than that with the same gold marker. Keep using these platforms to jump until you reach the bottom. Now, follow the flow of the river to the east to reach the end of the river, and to the left will be Rakshasa.
How to Beat Rakshasa (Boss Guide) – Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
To get Rakshasa’s great katana and armor set, you must defeat him. When you finally reach their location, call other players or summon someone if you are playing offline to help you. After that, equip your best weapons that can deal with medium range attacks with good damage; a good option is Dragon Slayer Katana. All of Rakshasa’s attacks have a short range and a good recovery time, which you must take advantage of to deliver lethal blows.
To defeat him, create some distance between you and him and then perform your best medium-range attack. Sometimes he may hit you, in which case heal quickly and then keep repeating the process until you get rid of him. When you do that, you will get the Great Katana and the Rakshasa Armor Set.
Best way to use the Rakshasa Great Katana and Armor Set in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
The Rakshasa Great Katana boasts incredible damage with charged attacks, and combined with its good base damage, it can help you deal with any boss in the game. Additionally, you can use any seal to increase the damage even more.
Then we have the Rakshasa armor set, which increases damage dealt and taken, making it a great build if you’re good at dodging enemy attacks. The sword and armor combined with other damage-boosting items can set you up to deal heavy damage to any enemy in the game.
