How to defeat the Fire Giant in Elden Ring

In simpler terms, the Fire Giant boss battle occurs at the Mountaintops of the Giants, an advanced location you access once you’ve completed your journey through Leyndell Royal Capital. While navigating the mountain’s winding paths with their snowy summits, you’ll eventually come across a Site of Grace named Foot of the Forge. Right past this point, you’ll encounter a red-haired giant who is ready for battle in his arena.

General tips when facing the Fire Giant

• The Fire Giant is one of the largest bosses in Elden Ring. Expect its attacks to be slow and cumbersome, while packing quite a punch.
• Most blows will take out a chunk of your health. We recommend being level 115 or higher, with at least 40 points in Vigor. (Note that 60 Vigor is the ideal cap that you should reach.)
• Additionally, talismans that increase your HP, such as the Crimson Amber Medallion and Erdtree’s Favor, are viable as well.
• As the name implies, the Fire Giant does have several fire-based abilities. The Flamedrake Talisman (or other higher-tier variants) is an extremely useful accessory to have.
• Similarly, you can make use of spells like Flame Fortification or Flame Protect Me, as well as the Fireproof Dried Liver consumable.
• In our case, we preferred the Eleonora’s Poleblade to inflict the bleed status effect, though many other armaments should suffice. You can learn more in our best weapons guide.
• Alexander can be summoned as an NPC ally, but his summon sign is in the boss arena itself. You may also use spirit ash summons, preferably the Mimic Tear, Black Knife Tiche, Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff, and other single entity specters that are armored or are fast enough.

Fire Giant boss fight: Phase 1

At the beginning of the Elden Ring Fire Giant battle, this is the crucial part that sets the tone for the entire encounter. The arena is expansive, with the giant a good way off in the distance. It’s recommended to ride Torrent to bridge the gap, but be cautious of the boss’ plate sweep attack. This move has the potential to eliminate both your horse and character if you’re not careful. But, by timing your double-jump on Tornt correctly, you should manage to evade taking any damage.

It’s essential that you engage the Fire Giant in hand-to-hand combat from this point. Its powerful melee attacks pose a threat to Torrent, and using your flasks to revive him should be avoided if possible. Instead, aim your attacks at the giant’s left leg, keeping it under constant pressure until it succumbs. Be on the lookout for the following:

• If you’re locking on to the Fire Giant’s left leg and you see the monster lifting it up, that means it will smash the ground with its metal plate. Make sure you roll to avoid this crushing blow.
• Speaking of rolling, the Fire Giant will sometimes roll to reposition. Don’t forget to close the gap when it does.
• The boss will launch a large, slow-moving fireball. You can let it get close enough until it pulses, then run away before it detonates.

Fire Giant boss fight: Phase 2

As a gamer with around half of my health points remaining, I’ll witness a cutscene where the Fire Giant hobbles off, severing one of its legs as an offering. Though less agile, this giant now boasts some freshly acquired abilities.

• The boss will shoot out two slow-moving fireballs this time. You can still go near them and quickly run away to trigger their explosion. Aside from this, it also launches fast-moving fireballs in a straight line.
• It will belch out multiple burning rocks that explode once they hit the ground. This ability tends to have a long cast time.
• Fire pillars will also erupt around it as it’s kneeling.

In the second stage, it would be wise for you to hop on Torrent’s back and follow closely behind it. Once there, you have the opportunity to attack its right leg, though keep in mind that this isn’t a critical hit area. The process may take some time since this isn’t an especially weak spot, so ensure your chosen melee weapon is fully upgraded before engaging.

An alternative approach for individuals who favor ranged attacks or magic could be targeting the Fire Giant’s hands instead. This strategy comes with added risk as you need to dodge multiple projectiles. However, you have the option of utilizing trees and rocks for cover. Keep in mind that if these covers get destroyed, your protection will be compromised. Lastly, when the boss is staggered, seize the opportunity to approach it and inflict critical damage on its eye.
