Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon: step by step
Reaching Rennala
Rennala is the principal Academy boss in Liurnia. Opening the route through the Academy requires progressing through its magical gate and its interior encounters. This boss is also relevant to respec later.
Phase one puzzle
During the first phase, find the students maintaining her protective barrier; the unusual visual and audio cues distinguish them. Once the shield breaks, deal damage during the vulnerable window and prepare for the next cycle if needed.
Second phase pressure
In the later phase Rennala uses stronger ranged sorceries and may summon magical threats. Keep mobile, close distance after predictable spells, and avoid camping directly in front of long casts. A melee-heavy approach can be effective if you reach her safely.
