Fire Giant Hard
Weaknesses
Resistances
Battle Strategies
- Phase 1: attack his left ankle (the one with the brace) to trigger a stagger
- Stay on Torrent for mobility — the arena is massive and he rolls away often
- Dismount for actual damage windows, then remount to chase
- Phase 2: he tears off his own leg and gains fire attacks — target his hands
- Avoid staying directly under him in Phase 2; he has a fire AoE slam
- Bleed is the key — his massive HP pool means percentage damage is invaluable

Best Builds for Fire Giant
These builds exploit Fire Giant's weaknesses and match the fight's demands.
Bleed is essential against the Fire Giant's 43,000+ HP. Corpse Piler hits his legs easily and procs hemorrhage for massive percentage damage.
Powerstanced blood katanas proc bleed even faster than Rivers of Blood. L1 attacks against his legs delete chunks of health.
Bloodboon Ritual's AoE catches Fire Giant's massive hitbox. Bleed procs deal thousands of damage per trigger.
Frost procs chunk his HP and reduce absorption. Ranged frost sorceries let you hit him even when he rolls away.
Builds to Avoid Against Fire Giant
These archetypes struggle in this fight. Consider respeccing if you're stuck.
Fire Giant is highly resistant to fire damage. Your main weapon's fire damage is severely reduced, gutting your DPS.
Holy damage is resisted, and Wave of Gold's horizontal wave struggles to connect with his elevated weak points.
Fire resistance negates your incantations, and madness doesn't work on non-Tarnished bosses. Nearly useless here.
