To top it all off, this boss’ massive health pool and absurd resistances mean that you’re likely going to find yourself wondering if you’re actually doing any significant damage to it. Even worse, the Fire Giant regularly conjures dangerous flames that not only turn former safe zones into death traps but make it even more difficult to close the gap whenever he decides to roll out of harm’s way. While you’re going to be relying on the classic strategy of staying as close as possible to this giant’s feet to avoid its incredible reach, this boss is more than willing to roll out of the way of your attacks and force you to enter its danger zone. I sometimes joke that I’m more worried about Soulsborne bosses that are closer to my size than the ones that are as big as mountains, but Fire Giant is undoubtedly one of the toughest “giant” bosses that FromSoftware has ever created.
While most players will probably encounter/try to fight this boss way too early due to the fact that its arena is accessible via an easily accessible portal, even late-game Elden Ring players will struggle to take down this absolute nightmare.Ī massive investment into your character’s Vigor will help make this fight a little easier, but there are relatively few shortcuts in this encounter. While there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to beat this boss if you’re properly prepared for what is to come (more on that in a bit), this fight will definitely be a nightmare for anyone who struggles with dragon encounters.
ONE STEP FROM EDEN SECRET BOSS WINDOWS
The few windows of attack this thing offers you are incredibly easy to miss amidst the chaos of everything that is happening. The fact this boss is able to teleport and move so quickly across the massive arena you fight it in is certainly part of the reason why this fight is so frustrating, but it’s really this dragon’s sweeping melee attacks and devastating AOE abilities that ensure you’ll rarely have a moment to breathe. This secret boss is incredibly easy to miss (you’ll need to access a hidden area before the boss fight with Maliketh, the Black Blade and choose to lie down in a grave in order to reach him), which really just means that relatively few Elden Ring players have gotten the chance to take on one of the hardest dragons in the game. This is the kind of boss that is seemingly powered by your frustration, which also means it’s the kind of boss that often becomes more difficult the more you try (and fail) to beat it. There are very few ways to “safely” attack this boss in melee range, and the few attack windows that do open up are immediately followed by massive attacks that are incredibly difficult to avoid.
ONE STEP FROM EDEN SECRET BOSS TORRENT
Unless you’re playing as a certain type of mage who can safely ride around on Torrent while slowly wearing this boss down with spells, you’re going to quickly discover that this thing can not only withstand an incredible amount of damage but can close the gap on you in a second. While there are a lot of boss fights that could have fit into these lower spots on this list, Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast ultimately got the nod here due to its aggressive attack style and strong defenses. If you think that sounds like blasphemy, that’s because you haven’t tried to beat the absolute hardest boss fights in Elden Ring or the dozen or so other encounters in this game that could have easily made this list. While Elden Ring offers you a surprisingly generous number of ways to overcome some of its toughest boss battles, quite a few of the boss fights in this game could easily be considered some of the toughest boss fights that FromSoftware has ever crafted.
Well, I’m…oh…let’s say “happy” to tell you how wrong I was. After all, with so many options available to players and so many potential ways to “cheese” those epic encounters, surely Elden Ring‘s bosses would ultimately end up being just a touch easier than some of the hardest bosses we’ve seen in the studio’s previous games. Crazy sex scene.I went into Elden Ring wondering if FromSoftware would possibly be able to fill such a massive open-world game with the kind of difficult boss fights that have (in their own way) come to define the Soulsborne games and many of their spiritual spin-offs.
