How to unlock the Elemer of the Briar achievement in ELDEN RING - Definitive Guide

Elemer of the Briar is located in the Shaded Castle. The castle is located in the Northern section of the map, on the North side of the Altus Plateau. You get there from the Erdtree-Gazing Hill rest site and going north inside a ravine.

Once in the Castle the boss is found by taking a lift up to a wooden catwalk where you'll see the boss door at the end. The bottom of the lift is not far from the Shaded Castle Inner Gate site and you can release a ladder to create a sort-cut but there is a site of Matra outside the fog gate anyway.

The boss himself is a fairly straight forward humanoid with a greatsword and typically strategies you would you against hard hitting humanoid characters apply. His swings are pretty simple to dodge, main thing to be aware of is he can swing at range using as his sword floats. 4 swing combo is pretty common and watch for the return movement of his sword afterwards as that can catch you too. However the room is still big enough to keep him at range if you have range to damage him with. Only variation really from his standard or range swings to be aware of are a grab which has a long wind up and low range and a shoulder charge which has decent range on it.

He also has a corkscrew windup attack with his sword, and can slam his shield down for aoe. Sometimes, if he doesn't get up after the slam, he will make an aoe explosion after.

Elemer of the Briar is quite punishing, he wields a greatsword so you would think having some distance would be beneficial but that is not the case as his sword is a dancing blade and can swing out at long ranges before flying back to his hands. The safest place to be is actually right up next to him where he has fewer moves and combos available to him. His shield slam attack has the most recovery on it and will allow you to get the most hits in along with being able to heal, it is baitable by moving behind him.

The boss is in the shadowy castle, which is located just above and to the right of the Vulcan estate. On the map it is depicted on a bright green poisonous background.

The boss parries well, although a crit can be dealt 1 time for 2 parries. During a cast with twisting the sword, you can run behind him and get 2 hits in with impunity.
