Elden Ring<\/a>: Shadow of the Erdtree is undoubtedly quite the challenge. However, as with all Souls games, it usually feels insurmountable only at first until you practice, get stronger, and eventually overcome. This is exemplified by a new enemy introduced in the DLC called the Winter Lanterns. If you’ve encountered them, you might have deemed them unkillable.<\/span><\/p>\n However, this is far from the truth, as these creepy cane-wielding monstrosities can indeed be defeated, but there’s a specific trick <\/span>to doing so<\/span>. In this guide, we’ll explain exactly how you can kill the Winter Lanterns in Elden Ring: Shadow of The Erdtree.<\/span><\/p>\n Winter Lanterns are <\/span>special<\/span> enemies <\/span>you will encounter<\/span> in the Abyssal Woods area of the Land of Shadow. These creatures are essentially the same as those found in Bloodborne<\/a>. Described as “grotesque creatures with a lethal gimmick” in Bloodborne, they now inflict Madness instead of Frenzy in Elden Ring.<\/span><\/p>\n To begin your hunt for Winter Lanterns, head to the Abyssal Woods by passing through the Shadow Keep and following a hidden path to the Darklight Catacombs. Once you’ve cleared this dungeon, you can explore the Abyssal Woods and test your skills against the Winter Lanterns. They are <\/span>especially common<\/span> just west of the Abyssal Woods Site of Grace.<\/span><\/p>\n The strategy for defeating these grotesque creatures is straightforward but challenging if you’re unfamiliar with parrying. The only way to <\/span>defeat<\/span> them is to <\/span>parry<\/span> when they rush or teleport to you. Any physical attack or magic used when <\/span>they are<\/span> not staggered will <\/span>simply<\/span> pass through their bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n To take on these creatures with a parrying weapon in hand, wait for them to teleport behind you. Turn around and wait for the Winter Lantern to point its wand-like arm at you, which will cause some damage, <\/span>but<\/span> not too much. <\/span><\/p>\n As soon as it initiates an attack, use the parry skill. Once <\/span>it’s<\/span> stance-broken, unleash your <\/span>normal<\/span> attacks on the Winter Lantern to defeat it. One successful parry is enough to remove their invulnerability, allowing you <\/span>to <\/span>quickly finish them off<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n There are several ways to parry in Elden Ring, including sword and dagger parries, but the easiest method is to use a shield with a parry skill. You have a few options for shields:<\/span><\/p>\n So, there you have <\/span>it,<\/span> a detailed breakdown of how to kill the horrifying but not invulnerable Winter Lantern enemies in Elden Ring: Shadow of The Erdtree<\/a>.<\/span> Be sure to explore this area thoroughly, as a powerful boss lurks around, and defeating it will yield hefty rewards. Happy hunting, fellow Tarnished!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is undoubtedly quite the challenge.
