Elden Ring: How To Beat Fire Giant [Cheese Method]

Is it really a From software game if it doesn’t contain a bunch of nearly impossible-to-defeat bosses? The fire giant is one of them, his arsenal contains a snow avalanche attack, a jump smash, a huge plate swing, a stomp, a gambol, almost one-shotting fireballs and if all of that wasn’t enough, they gave him a massive health pool “ sure, let’s just make him a literal mental torcher cause its fun.” If you are also stuck at this point of the game, then worry not as we welcome you to the Elden Ring fire giant cheese method. In this guide, we’ll show you how to cheese this enormously huge cheating melon head and show him who’s the real boss (pun intended).

Key Highlights:

• Best way to defeat Fire Giant In Elden Ring is to charge towards the Fire Giant on the Torrent Horse and aim for going between his legs. 
• Fire Giant will fling his plate and try to throw snow at you once you get closer. You can block the snow by your hundred percent damage absorption shield or double jump on your steed and avoid it. 
• Now aim the attacks for his legs while switching the attacks between the both legs. Remember in doing so you have to stay between his legs to avoid damage from being crushed under his feet.
• In the Second Phase, Fire Giant will lose his legs. Now as Fire Giant transition is over quickly aims between the legs of the Giant and start attacking his broken legs and knees. 
• While attacking, keep in mind the Fire Giant will try to burn you by creating fire around his body. So once fire starts around the Giant, get away from it as soon as possible.
• Here you have to watch out for two things. One is the rolling of a Giant on the snowy ground so you may not get crushed under it. Secondly of the tracking Fireballs which will track you and do a serious amount of damage. You can simply avoid them with quick movement and dodging with perfect timing.

Fire Giant Phase Two Cheese Method

Well now you made it through the first phase but what about the second one? Keep reading to find out.

Indication Of Phase Two

If you properly followed all the steps mentioned in the phase 1 section of the Elden ring fire giant cheese method, then the fire giant should have lost his legs by now and will be transitioning into his second phase shown in a cut scene. Is it not just the most satisfactory thing to happen?

Get Ready To Defend!

Cheesing the second phase of the fire giant is relatively similar to what you did in his first phase. Once the cut scene finishes, you’ll find yourself standing in the middle of the upper ground (the one you jumped from before).

You need to run to the same spot as before, a key thing to note here is that he will hurl tracking fireballs at you from a distance so be prepared to do something about them as they can one-shot you LITERALLY. A shield with a decent fire resistance can help make this phase easier by a mile or if you’re skilled enough, you can simply go full-blown ultra instinct mode on him and dodge his attacks. Pull this fire giant cheese strategy in Elden Ring and you’re one step close to beating the boss.

Conclusion

The thing that makes this cheese method so amazing is that you don’t need any fancy equipment for this to work. All you need to do is carefully follow the mentioned steps and you will see the most satisfying message “Legend Defeated” appear on your screen. However take this cheese method with a grain of salt as sometimes, the fire giant will fall but take no damage whatsoever but you will eventually succeed as long as you don’t give up.
