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.
