Description
Beast Clergyman is a Boss in Elden Ring. He is the boss form of Gurranq Beast Clergyman. This Elden Ring Beast Clergyman Guide features boss locations, tips, strategies and videos on how to defeat the Beast Clergyman easily, as well as boss stats and lore for the Beast Clergyman.
The Beast Clergyman is found in Crumbling Farum AzulaDungeon and is greatly implied to be Gurranq, as he recognises you and changes his dialogue if you have given Gurranq all 9 Deathroot. Despite this, defeating this boss does not result in Gurranq's death (and has no effect on your progress with his quest) and vice-versa. A possible explanation for this is that Crumbling Farum AzulaDungeon exists outside of time.
This is NOT an optional boss as players MUST defeat it to reach an endgame area in Elden Ring. Although the Beast Clergyman is quite large and may seem sluggish at first glance, he is far from it and you should be mindful of his high mobility and quick attacks. After taking him down to 50-55% HP, a cutscene plays and you'll be faced off against Maliketh, the Black Blade. There are several Items and strategies for the fight against Maliketh that do not apply to the Beast Clergyman's fight, so make sure to be prepared for him as well.
Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that can be encountered all over the Lands Between. Legend bosses drop their own unique Remembrance capable of being transformed into powerful Weapons, Spells, Ashes of War, and Talismans for the player.
Notes

Defenses do not change between phases
Deals Standard Damage, Slash Damage, Pierce Damage (1st phase) and Holy Damage (2nd phase).
Parriable: No (1st phase), Yes (2nd phase with Blasphemous Claw only - if done successfully, Maliketh will cover his eyes and perform a slow sword slash from above his head)
Stance can be broken, which allows for a critical attack.
