The only problem that I have with him is that a literal enemy of golden order and erdtree has 20% holy defense while also not being immune to fire damage while literally containing an outer god of fire in his stomach....
Also for people that don't know, you can completely negate his flame of fell god (giant floating exploding fireballs) by absorbing it with carian retaliation, or walk away while it ready to explode...
And if you have problems with camera while locked on, just free aim it, and listen for the attack sound ques...

Bloody Slash on an Uchigatana +18 does a lot of damage to his weak points.

Too easy

a lot of irate people here. i feel like im the only person who never got anrgy at elden ring, and this is coming from a person who hadnt played a soulslike before this. i personally thought fire giant was an intimidating visual spectacle and i appreciated how rewarding alexander was, knowing that he was only available because i had kept up with his questline. i also think him having a very visual weak spot was a nice change of pace as most of the enemies are just weak to their heads.

I kinda struggled with him as a mage at first, mostly cause his attacks hit like a truck and even one-shot Torrent. After trying to use Rain of Stars and melee attacks, I found out that using the good ol' comet to hit his leg was the best strategy anyway. I also summoned Latenna just to get some little extra damage.
After dying a couple of times to his second phase, I said screw it, gulped down Cerulean Hidden Tear and nuked him with Azure Comet while he did his long *** second phase animation. A couple more spells after and he's dead.

worst boss in the game by far

Melina, are we the baddies?

Alexander really helps in this fight since he has a overwhelming amount of HP and is a really good distraction so you can get hits in. I also found that even though the Fire Giant is massive, he can be easily stunned if you hit him in his left hoot or his hands for his final stage. Honestly, not as hard as people make it out to be.

I succeeded second attempt. +6 bloodhound fang and +10 Tiche did it with ma boy Alexander. Come on guys I know you can do it!

died 51 times before reading this thanks :]
