How To Beat Romina, Saint of the Bud in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree (Boss Fight)

If you don't like creepy crawlers, you might not enjoy the Romina, Saint of the Bud boss fight in. This rather disturbing boss is part scorpion, part centipede and will undoubtedly present players with a spine-tingling challenge. Unfortunately, there is no way around this, as Romina, Saint of the Bud is a mandatory boss fight you need to beat to progress in the storyline.

Romina, Saint of the Bud, can be a challenging boss fight because her attacks deal Scarlet Rot damage. If you let this build up, it will quickly deplete your health. Nonetheless, you can easily defeat her by learning her moves and exploiting her weaknesses. She's merely the appetizer for your next boss fight with Messmer, The Impaler.

The Mimic Tear is one of the best Spirit Ash summons in Elden Ring, and it will help get players through the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC too.

Your best chance of beating Romina, Saint of the Bud, in is by exploitingher weakness, which is to Bleed, Physical, and Magic damage. If you have any weapons that can take on these effects, it's recommended you do so. Although you may need to upgrade it before it's potent enough, something like the Star-Lined Sword or Cranial Vessel Candlestand should do you just fine.

You can also boost your chances of beating Romina, Saint of the Bud, by finding Scadutree Fragments in Spending these at Sites of Grace will increase your Scadutree Blessing, which, in turn, bolsters your damage dealing/negation.

When it comes to the actual fight, one of the best things you can do is stand right under Romina. You want to stand right where her scorpion stinger and centipede head split. That's because her attacks take advantage of her long body, so if you stay at a distance, you're toast.

Sometimes, her basic attacks, like the Double Spear Swing, don't register when you're standing right under her. That being said, it's still a smart idea to get an understanding of Romina's move list:
