Prompt (Optional)

Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy is a Demigod and Shard bearer boss in Elden Ring, encountered in Volcano Manor, who fuses with the ***-Devouring Serpent in his pursuit of ***-devouring power. Lore and Background
Rykard is the son of Radagon and Queen Rennala, making him a demigod alongside his siblings Radahn and Ranni. Raised under Queen Marika after Radagon left Rennala, Rykard became a ruthless justiciar of the Golden Order, persecuting heretics such as the Albinaurics. He discovered ancient magma hexes in Mt. Gelmir, reviving serpent-worshiping sorceries, and constructed the Iron Virgins, automatons used for battlefield carnage and abductions. His blasphemous ambitions led him to assist Ranni in the Night of Black Knives, and he later fused with the ***-Devouring Serpent to pursue immortality and devour the gods.

Boss Fight Mechanics
Rykard’s fight has two phases: first as the ***-Devouring Serpent, then as Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. Both phases share the same stats. Key mechanics include: 
extra life
Serpent-Hunter weapon: Found in the arena, it allows long-range attacks that trivialize the fight. 
2
Lava hazards: Rykard generates lava with his steps, making positioning crucial. 
1
Immunity to critical attacks: Standard critical hits like backstabs are ineffective. 
1
Spirit Ashes: Summons like Latenna the Albinauric or Mimic Tear can help manage damage and avoid lava. 
1

Players should focus on ranged attacks with the Serpent-Hunter, maintain distance from lava, and use Spirit Ash summons for additional support.

Optional Status
Rykard is an optional boss, but as a Shardbearer, defeating him counts toward the two required shardbearers needed to access Leyndell, Royal Capital. Players can choose to skip him without blocking main story progression, depending on their chosen path through Volcano Manor.

Strategy Tips
Upgrade the Serpent-Hunter with Somber Smithing Stones for maximum damage. 
1
Use a 100% physical block shield with Art of War: Barricade Shield Ash to block and attack simultaneously. 
1
Summon long-range Spirit Ashes to avoid lava and maintain consistent damage output. 
1
Focus attacks on the serpent’s head during the first phase to minimize risk from lava and tail sweeps.

Rykard’s fight is considered more fun than punishing, similar to other large-scale bosses like Yhorm the Giant, but preparation and strategy make the encounter significantly easier.
