How to beat the Regal Ancestor Spirit boss in Elden Ring

The Regal Ancestor Spirit is a massive boss in Elden Ring who appears as a reanimated deer carcass.

This particular boss is very similar to the regular Ancestor Spirit. Though the location is different, the way players enter the battle arena is almost identical to the original deer.

The Regal Ancestor Spirit is located in Nokron, Eternal City. Players need to light six obelisks to be teleported to the arena. Once inside, they need to dodge attacks, strike from an angle, and deal massive damage to take down the beast.
