It's not unusual for bosses in FromSoftware's fantasy RPGs to be several times larger than you are, but none of them are quite as big as the colossal Fire Giant that you have to fight at the end of the Mountaintops of the Giants area. And between his massive health pool, devastating physical attacks, and dangerous fire magic, the Fire Giant also happens to be one of Elden Ring's toughest bosses.
With that said, he does have a weakness you can exploit in the first phase, and the fight as a whole can be made easier with the right gear, tips, and strategies. Here's our full guide on how you can take down the Fire Giant boss in Elden Ring.
These general tips will help you plan and prepare for the Fire Giant boss fight, and will also give you a good idea of what you can expect from the battle.
Phase 1 of the Fire Giant fight is the hardest of the two phases, so if you can get through Phase 1, things will get easier from there. Here's how to get through Phase 1.
Keep up the pressure against the Fire Giant until he reaches about 50% health, at which point a cutscene that signals the start of Phase 2 will begin.
When Phase 2 begins, the Fire Giant's left leg will break and the Fire Giant will rip it off, burning it in his hands as the "second face" on his torso opens. Here's how to complete Phase 2 and finish off the Fire Giant.
And that's it. With enough patient dodging and the proper approach to each phase of the fight, the Fire Giant will be dead before you know it.
Elden Ring is finally here, and it's available for $60 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC. It's one of the best Xbox games you can play right now if you're a fan of challenging RPGs, and we strongly recommend it.
