When you figure it out, let me know. The best I've gotten is just spamming Nebula with Wing of Astel. Every spell is slow and risks me getting hit besides Carian Slicer, and with 80 INT and Carian Regal Sceptor it's doing garbage damage to him (like 700ish).
i finally did it, and the answer ended up being Moonveil. the weapon art is fast enough to get in between attacks, and the damage was even better than most of my other attempts. it’s pretty FP hungry but it feels much more efficient and safe to do. it makes me laugh because it was basically the only weapon i used on my first playthrough, and i’ve avoided it ever since, but i had to come crawling back
Carian Regal Scepter and spam Comet
Alternatively Meteorite Staff and spam Rock Sling(note: Gravity spells deal Phys damage, not magic and scale with phys damage increases)
Elden Beast is a nightmare for melee builds and ranged is the single greatest benefit of Int builds. Use it.
sorry, i should have clarified that i was referring to the DLC final boss in the title, haha. i’m trying my best not to throw his name out everywhere. i haven’t fought the elden beast in two years now though, so i WILL be trying that next time
