To find the Fire Giant in Elden Ring, follow the road that leads to the top of the exact location. The course is simple and will immediately guide you to it. It is located right in front of the Church of Rest.
The weaknesses of the fire giant
Like other Elden Ring bosses, the Fire Giant has unique, albeit minor, weaknesses. The Fire Giant is especially susceptible to scale attacks. Therefore, he is fine carrying one of the Elden Ring Katanas or the good old Greatswords, as both types of weapons reduce damage.
Additionally, the Fire Giant is prone to elemental attacks, including Scarlet Rot and Poison. Using those elemental attacks will help you deal damage accumulated over the years.
Strategies to defeat the fire giant
Once you've located the Fire Giant, it's time to prepare for battle. The Fire Giant is an impressive opponent, taking care of all the fires and dealing damage at excellent levels. To increase your chances of achieving achievements, make sure your character is at least level 105. Here is a detailed method to defeat the Fire Giant:
First phase
- Stay with your horse: The entire first section of the fight against the Fire Giant can be managed while riding your horse, Torrent. Use Torrent to stay away from the Fire Giant's on-hit proximity (AOE) attacks and to stay mobile.
- Use Torrent Speed: When the Fire Giant throws his protection to the ground, quickly use Torrent to avoid and escape the impact area.
- Aim for its left foot: The Fire Giant's left foot is its susceptible point, covered with fragile coverings. Focus your attacks on this foot, as it is much less protected compared to his right foot, which is protected with ropes and chains. Breaking the covers on his left foot will reveal a wound, allowing him to deal more damage.
- Watch for expanded aggression: Be careful when breaking your foot covers. The Fire Giant will begin using fire magic, performing AOE fire attacks near his feet and launching fireballs that explode as he approaches you.
- Stay close to his feet: Staying close to the Fire Giant's feet will help you avoid many of his attacks.
- Equip appropriate safety: Since Fire Giant offers both fire and body damage, it is smart to apply a combination of system and consumables. Use a Wondrous Physick add-on that negates fire damage and provides protection from physical assaults.
If you follow those techniques and stay alert, you will be well organized to defeat the Fire Giant in Elden Ring.
