Cemetery Shade

Cemetery Shade is a Boss in Elden Ring. This Elden Ring Cemetary Shade Guide features boss locations, tips, strategies and videos on how to defeat Cemetary Shades easily, as well as boss stats and lore for the Cemetary Shades.

Cemetery Shade is a dark and formless humanoid brandishing two sharp blades. They are found in various catacombs - the Tombsward CatacombsGrace, Black Knife CatacombsGrace, and Caelid CatacombsGrace. While the nature of the Cemetary Shades is largely ambiguous, the description of the Mantis Blades they carry suggest that they are grave keepers infested with insects.

This is an optional boss, as players are not required to defeat it in order to advance in Elden Ring. While they may be frail, they makes up for it with quick flurries of attacks, while also phasing in and out to strike. It may be worthwhile to bring Consumables and/or put on Equipment that can alleviate the build-up of Hemorrhage as some of their attacks can inflict the status effect. Cemetary Shades drop Lhutel the Headless, the Twinsage Sorcerer Ashes, or Kindred of Rot Ashes depending on which one was defeated.

Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that can be encountered all over the Lands Between. Great Enemy bosses can drop unique Spirit Ashes, Weapons, Spells, and other various Items.

Lesser Cemetery Shade is the normal enemy form of this boss.
