Torrent moves much faster than your character
You might notice that Torrent moves a lot faster than your character when you fight a fire giant. If you’ve ever played games where you took fall damage, you’ve likely used the “jump cancel” ability. While you can’t summon Torrent all the time, you can use it when you’re on a high platform. While you’re in combat, you should be careful when you attack ground enemies, as Torrent can become frightened if he is hit with a strong attack.
The Fire Giant is tall and has one weak spot, which you can attack by using Mimic Tear. Then, move quickly and dodge his moves, as he may be attempting to use a giant shield or vertical smash. If you’re not careful, you may even be caught by his horizontal sweeping attack. This will put you in danger of falling through the air.
Body slams
If you’re stuck in the middle of a Fire Giant fight, you can use body slams to defeat the monster. While body slams won’t completely wipe out the Giant, they can certainly help you to get maximum damage. The best way to deal with this enemy is to use your body slam on the Giant’s eye. If you stay close to it, you’ll be able to avoid the fire breath attack, but if you hit him for too long, you’ll end up with a Remembrance of the Fire Giant.
Once the Giant reaches half health, you should focus on tearing off his left leg and striking his eye. Once he has broken the rope around his left leg, you can attack it directly. If you can’t do this, you should use body slams and use your Torrent to close the distance safely. Be sure to stay behind his left leg when slamming it. You can then use Torrent to i-frame through the fire giant’s first attack.
Stomp moves
If you’re struggling to beat the Fire Giant, you may be wondering how to do it without using your hammer. The good news is that there are several options available. Here are some tips on how to deal with him. First, understand that he often uses a fireball as his primary attack. While the fireball itself does not do a lot of damage, it can knock you down and set you up for a follow-up attack. To dodge it, you must stay close and attack during one of the Giant’s fire breath or flame eruptions.
The Fire Giant’s attack will be a fireball, a single troll corpse, or two roaming fireballs. To counter these attacks, you can use a left elbow drop or a bramble-covered troll corpse. A great way to get through this boss is to use your Seppuku, which enables you to leap over cliffs and fire projectiles at the boss while he’s frozen. Once you defeat the Fire Giant, you can proceed to the Forge of the Giants. If you want to try it out, you can get Elden Ring on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox One.
Torrent’s health pool
A great way to fight the Fire Giant in the Eldren Ring is to take advantage of Torrent’s health pool. This character is extremely useful in this phase, and can help you to close the distance between you and the Giant. Use healing raisins or other items that have status effects to deal additional damage to the Giant. Don’t get greedy when you’re fighting the Fire Giant! You can’t afford to take many hits and you have to use stamina to dodge and block fireballs and other attacks from the Giant.
The Fire Giant’s most damaging attack is the shockwave it releases upon attacking. If you’re not able to dodge it, use Torrent’s quick-use ability to dash away from it. Torrent moves faster than the character and can sprint away quickly if he’s hit from behind. Using Rowa Raisins to restore health is a great way to prevent damage from this attack.
Using flies to cheese the Fire Giant
Using flies to cheese the Fire Gigan is an easy way to defeat the huge enemy outside Mohgavin Palace. Using a swarm of flies from the cave in the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace will lure the Fire Giant and cause it to fall down. If the Fire Giant does not fall, your next move should be to use a crossbow to deal massive damage to it.
To take down the Fire Gigant, use a weapon that deals Bleed damage and equip it before summoning Torrent. A two-handed weapon deals more damage when swiping at its legs. This strategy is also useful in phase two of the boss fight. The Elden Ring is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. It is a massively popular MMO, so make sure to pick it up if you’re a big fan of the franchise.
