How to Defeat Alabaster Lord

This is how to defeat Alabaster Lord in the most recent FromSoftware game. The game developers wasted no time integrating everything they had learned from all the previous Soulslike adventures and added it into this new adventure.

The Alabaster Lord is cunning and dangerous; fortunately, beating this overpowered boss is not required to advance the main story. Fighting this boss is quite straightforward but packs a mean punch and this guide will help you to get through this minor obstacle.

Elden Ring takes the crown as the biggest and most expansive Soulslike project ever made by FromSoftware. The game developers wanted to present the player base with a challenge and pass with flying colors by providing a diverse enemy variety. The Alabaster Lord is one of the few optional bosses scattered around the Lands Between and it takes great effort to beat it.

The Alabaster Lord can be found at Royal Grave Evergaol and the Lake of Rot. This optional boss is menacing but is not impossible to defeat, the approach to this fight is vaguely similar to Jori, Elder Inquisitor regarding power, and it is wise to make the right preparations for your loadout before setting foot in its domain.

The Alabaster Lord has a handful of attacks that can be easily avoided. Dodging is the best strategy in every Soulslike game and rather than rolling away from the reach of this overpowered boss, players can get a few good hits if they timed their rolls properly with each slash attack. Rolling toward the boss after the first strike and backward after the second will put players in a safe position to strike.

The Alabaster Lord is susceptible to bleed and another great weapon to use against it is the Rivers of Blood Katana which deals great damage. Timing and patience are key to success, and it wouldn’t hurt to be familiarized with most of the attacks and know how to counter them.

It is best to equip the Carian Greatsword spell and immediately start swiping at the Alabaster Lord when it spawns. This weapon will cost players stamina and focus per swing. This spell can disrupt all incoming attacks and stagger the large boss and each swing removes a massive chunk from the lengthy health bar.

Players can get up to 4 or 5 swings depending on their meters and save enough stamina to dodge backward as soon as the Alabaster Lord retaliates with a few swings. Repeating this cycle will guarantee the defeat of the Alabaster Lord and make your Elden Ring experience much smoother. Fortunately, this optional boss does not have a second phase making it an easier and less tedious enemy to beat with enough patience and determination.

Keeping your distance can put you at a disadvantage since the Alabaster Lord has a few ranged attacks like Meteorite which can track player’s movements and stun them for a short while leaving them vulnerable. Running in a certain direction can do the trick and allow players to reposition themselves within the boss’s reach.

The Gravity Bullet can pack a mean punch, and while the effect is not devastating, it can still hurt players. Rolling through it can save players and equipping light gear can allow them to roll swifter.

The Alabaster Lord has an area-of-effect attack where it can suck everything towards it like a black hole. Start rolling away immediately and wait it out. The boss will be left vulnerable for a moment which is perfect to get a few strikes with either the Rivers of Blood Katana or the Carian Greatsword spell.

After the Alabaster Lord is defeated, players are rewarded with 3600 runes, and the gravitas spell which can come in handy. This optional boss requires patience and determination and this strategy will help players overcome this optional foe.
