Phase 2: Full Moon Fight
Rennala fights directly with Carian sorceries and summons. Stay mobile, dodge moon blasts laterally, and punish after her longer cast animations. If she summons wolves or a giant, clear or ignore based on your damage window.
Why This Fight Matters
Defeating Rennala unlocks respecs with Larval Tears. Full steps and tear sources: how to respec guide. That makes experimenting with a bleed build or faith build much safer.
