How to beat Lamenter in Elden Ring
Lamenter is a humanoid boss that uses its fists to attack the players. This boss is easy to hit and avoid.
However, upon losing a chunk of its health, Lamenter vanishes and summons a lot of its clones. These clones can be killed with a single hit.
Once all the clones are defeated, Lamenter will appear alone and start attacking you at a rapid pace. Just keep your distance to avoid magic attacks.
Once Lamenter tries to attack you with its fists, dodge to the side and punish it. Once Lamenter is defeated, it will drop Lamenter’s Mask in Elden Ring.
This will also mark the end of Lamenter’s Gaol in Elden Ring.
