You will be allowed to tour the magically fortified institution if you are able to locate the Academy Key. This is the Legacy Dungeon located in Elden Ring's Liurnia of the Lakes area. You'll eventually have the opportunity to take on a significant boss after a brief skirmish. To assist you in defeating Rennala Queen of the Full Moon at the Academy of Raya Lucaria, here is our Elden Ring guide.

boss guide: How to defeat Raya Lucaria's Rennala Queen of the Full Moon
First PhaseIn Elden Ring, Rennala Queen of the Full Moon may be one of the simplest bosses to defeat... if you're a combatant who uses melee or ranged weaponry. As a spellcaster, you will quickly discover that she is very resistant to magic. Oops!
As for the Rennala Queen of the Full Moon boss battle in Elden Ring, our objectives are as follows:
- During the first phase, Rennala is floating in the air while protected by an impenetrable barrier. Several of her pupils are crowding around her, and they’re very creepy.
- You need to look for the mob that has a golden glow and is throwing books at you. This is the caster that’s also empowering her shield.
- Kill the three casters that will appear in succession to break Rennala’s barrier. You can then wail away at her with impunity for several seconds. Just dodge-roll away when a golden glow emanates from her since she’ll do an explosive burst.
- During this stage, Rennala will say something about how her students are about to be “born anew.” If you look in her direction, you’ll see the mobs floating until they get turned into tombstones. The boss will fling several of these in your direction, likely killing you due to the impact. As such, you’d want to use the shelves to block the transformed projectiles.
Continue the previous steps until Rennala's HP is completely gone. After then, a cinematic will begin, taking you to a another realm with Rennala. Magic users may find this to be a difficult point because of your opponent's resistance to spells. In any case, be cautious of Rennala's Glintstone spells:
- For those with a faster casting time or projectile speed, you have to dodge around or sideways to avoid them.
- Conversely, those with longer casting times allow you to roll toward her and try a few hits with your weapon.
Periodically, your enemy will also call upon ethereal creatures to assist her. Observe the items she produces in response to their assault patterns:
- Lone Wolves – This pack will run around and try to nip at your heels.
- Bloodhound Knight – An extremely deadly enemy with fast attacks and swipes.
- Troll – The summoning ability will cause it to instantly smash downward on the ground, instantly killing you if you’re underneath it.
- Dragon – This summon will breathe fire in a frontal cone before flying away. It’ll then raze the area in a horizontal line.
You should be able to beat Rennala Queen of the Full Moon in Elden Ring if you just keep trying. The Great Rune of the Unborn is one of your awards. It is not necessary to activate this, in contrast to Godrick's Great Rune. This only provides the ability to reset or respec your stats when you speak with Rennala—who will remain in this location even after you've defeated her. To continue, however, you do need Larval Tears.
The Remembrance of the Full Moon Queen is the second prize. Return to the Roundtable and have a conversation with Finger Reader Enia. She will grant you an additional Talisman Pouch, which is an additional equipped space for talismans. Similarly, you may trade in the Remembrance for any of the following:
- Carian Regal Scepter (staff)
- Skill – Spinning Weapon
- Requirement – Str 8, Dex 10, and Int 40
- Scaling – Str E, Dex E, and Int B
- Rennala’s Full Moon (Sorcery spell)
- Requirement – Int 70
- Cost – 70 FP
After this, what comes next? Given that you currently have two Great Runes functioning, Enia says you are prepared to become the Elden Lord. Access to the Royal Capital Leyndell is now possible. That will be a difficult voyage, however, if you're not ready. For the time being, you may try exploring Liurnia of the Lakes for additional surprises. You might also try to continue on by trying to get to Altus Plateau.
Take note: Rennala has a treasure box behind her, but it will take a lot of time and work to open. We go into great depth about it in our Treasure Chest Guide for Rennala.Steam offers Elden Ring for purchase. Visit our guides and features hub for further details.
