What Level Should I Be For The Fire Giant in Elden Ring?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a passionate Elden Ring fan and content creator, I recommend being at least level 120 before facing the Fire Giant‘s explosive onslaught. At 120, you‘ll have the health, attack power, and build versatility to overcome his towering twin health bars.

The Fire Giant is a spectacle of a boss battle – towering in size yet deceptively swift and aggressive. His mix of explosive fire attacks, massive combos, and earth-shaking stomps will test your skill and endurance to the very limit.

Key Reasons The Fire Giant is So Difficult

What makes this lord of cinder such a formidable challenge?

  • Colossal health pool: 11,000 HP in phase 1, 13,500 HP in phase 2
  • Punishing attack combos: Charging sword sweeps, delayed swings, AoE blasts
  • Deceiving speed and aggression: Despite his size, he turns and chains attacks swiftly if you‘re in proximity
  • Phase two moveset expansion: At 50% HP, he rips off his leg brace to gain augmented attacks

Optimal Spirit Summons and Battle Strategies

Based on my extensive testing, here are the most effective spirit summons and tactics:

  • Mimic Tear Spirit Ash – this will perfectly mimic your build and weapon skills to tank hits
  • Frost/Bleed weapons like Rivers of Blood and Blasphemous Blade shred his health bars
  • Punish his legs and feet whenever possible after dodging to eventually topple him
  • In phase 2, stick behind him and bait his forward leap attack

Recommended Level 120 Builds and Gear For Victory

Here are my top recommended builds and weapons for dominating the Fire Giant at level 120:

Quality Build (STR/DEX)

Weapons: Blasphemous Blade, Bloodhound Fang

Powers: Flame Grant Me Strength, Golden Vow

This setup lets you capitalize on his fire weakness while dishing out devastating bleed with the Bloodhound Fang.

Sorcery Caster

Weapons: Carian Regal Scepter, Adula‘s Moonblade

Spells: Comet Azur, Stars of Ruin

Rained down potent ranged magic like Comet Azur and the frosty Adula‘s Moonblade from a safe distance.

Madness Build

Weapons: Rivers of Blood, Dragon Communion Seal

Incantations: Dragonice, swarm of flies

Inflict blood loss and madness status effects to shred his health bar. Rivers of Blood is especially potent here.

Final Tips for Overcoming This Iconic Lord of Cinder

  1. Learn his delayed combo timing in phase 1
  2. Only attack the glowing ankle wound when he falls
  3. Sprint under him immediately when phase 2 begins
  4. Free aim Comet Azur during his phase 2 meteor rain

I hope this detailed guide gives you the knowledge to defeat one of Elden Ring‘s most memorable adversaries! Let the flames guide thee.
