How to Defeat Miquella’s Followers in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree


Miquella’s followers play a crucial role throughout the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC’s main campaign. Before the final boss fights in Enir-Ilim, you must defeat all of Miquella’s followers in a battle royale-style format. Each follower of Miquella has an NPC quest tied to them, and completing these quests will determine whether they fight against you or assist you during the final battle. The fight is generally simple but becomes difficult due to the large number of enemies simultaneously. If you find yourself overwhelmed, keep reading to learn how to beat Miquella’s followers in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Location of the Miquella’s Followers Boss Fight in Elden Ring

The Miquella’s Followers boss fight takes place in Enir-Ilim, which can be accessed by burning the Sealing Tree using Messmer’s Kindling. After entering Enir-Ilim, the path is quite straightforward. Once you reach the Horned Warrior mini-boss, run past them to find Leda in a massive room filled with sand.

Talk with Needle Knight Leda, and she will force you to fight her and her allies to reach Miquella. You can use the Invader sign on the ground to start the Miquella’s Followers boss fight.

Weaknesses of All Miquella’s Followers in Elden Ring

Before we begin fighting these foes, let’s learn what makes them tick. Here are the weaknesses of all of Miquella’s followers in Elden Ring:

  • Redmane Freyja: Quick to attack but leaves herself open for incoming attacks.
  • Hornsent: Highly susceptible to poise damage and can be stun locked.
  • Moore: Vulnerable to back attacks; circle around and strike from behind.
  • Dryleaf Dane: Very aggressive and slow to heal, making him susceptible to quick stun locking.
  • Needle Knight Leda: Weak to poise damage.

NOTE : I completed Ansbach’s quest by providing him with the answer he sought. Therefore, I can’t confirm whether he joins the fight or not, as he became an NPC summon for me during this battle.

The Miquella’s Followers boss fight is relatively straightforward. To win, you need to defeat all of Miquella’s followers that oppose you. The followers spawn one by one with a brief interval between each. Here is the order in which they spawned during my Elden Ring DLC gameplay.

  1. Redmane Freyja
  2. Hornsent
  3. Moore
  4. Dryleaf Dane
  5. Needle Knight Leda

During the Miquella’s Followers boss fight, do not hesitate to use Spirit Summons or any NPC summons available. This is crucial because, eventually, all of Miquella’s followers will gang up against you, disregarding any sense of honor. I used Mimic Tear and summoned Ansbach during the fight.

  • To win the battle, focus on one follower at a time and bring them down as quickly as possible. The goal is to reduce their numbers before it becomes overwhelming.
  • After Moore joins the fight, both Dryleaf Dane and Needle Knight Leda will quickly spawn, generally forcing you to fight all three simultaneously.
  • Target Dryleaf Dane first: He is the easiest to take down quickly.
  • Next, focus on Needle Knight Leda: Be ready to dodge her incantations as she doesn’t get stun-locked as easily as Hornsent.
  • Finally, deal with Moore: Let Moore attack your summons while you move behind him and deal damage.

By following this strategy, you should be able to defeat Miquella’s Followers in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Rewards from Miquella’s Followers Boss Fight in Elden Ring

After defeating all of Miquella’s followers, you will see the “Host Vanquished” message and receive Leda’s Sword as a reward. Exit the invaded world successfully, and you can proceed to the final boss of the game.

Upon returning to your own world, you will find the bodies of Miquella’s followers scattered around the room. You can now collect the armor and weapons from all the followers you defeated. While these items might not be the best weapons in Elden Ring, they are still quite powerful.

And that’s how you beat Miquella’s followers in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. Are you still having trouble defeating them? Let us know in the comments below!
