When you reach the Roundtable Hold in the Elden Ring, you will have to face the Scarlet heretic wizard - Mad Tongue Alberich, which uses Scythe and the Staff of the Guilty as a weapon, after defeating it will drop 1,562 runes, Taunter's Tongue and Furlcalling Finger Remedy.

A formidable Invader, players are often disturbed by his ability to control the arena when battling Mad Tongue Alberich. Therefore, it is necessary to be familiar with his attack patterns and adopt certain strategies.

Mad Tongue Alberich's attack modes are quite diverse, including two types: magic attack and melee attack. Specifically, magic attacks include:

1. Glintstone Icecrag

When using this attack, Alberich will fire ice projectiles that players can use to avoid damage by strafing and dodging.

2. Freezing Mist

When using this attack, Alberich will summon a cloud which, although it dissipates quickly, does some Frost damage. Players need to dodge in time while clouds are spawning.

3. Briars of Sin

Alberich will summon a circle of thorns around, creating an AoE of a certain size. Needless to say, players need to jump out of this range in time. When you see double staff lifting, it means it's time to dodge.

In terms of a melee attack, Mad Tongue Alberich's main attack method is to launch the Sword Dance skill with his scythe, which causes the player's Hemorrhage. In addition, his jump attack also requires players' attention.

It is worth noting that during the battle, players only have one chance to heal. But that doesn't mean there isn't a way to overcome him. A Flail with the Spinning Chain skill or a weapon with Wild Strikes can handle its attacks very efficiently, and even helping the player kill him without taking any damage.
