How to beat Rakshasa (Boss Guide) - Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

To get Rakshasa's Great Katana and Armour Set, you have to defeat Rakshasa. When you finally reach his location, call other players, or a summon if playing offline to help you. After that, equip your best weapons that can deal with medium-range attacks with good damage; a good option is the Dragon Hunter Katana. All of Rakshasa's attacks have a short range and a good amount of recovery time, which you have to use to deal lethal blows.

To defeat him, create some distance between you and him and then deal with your best medium-range attack. Sometimes, he might get a hit on you, in which case, get yourself healed fast and then keep repeating the process until you get rid of him. When you do that, you will get Rakshasa's Great Katana and Armour Set.
