Does no one understand the joke He said that because most of the Elden ring boss vids were made around when they were released hence why he said he was stuck on it for 2 years because the vid was released a few months ago
your tips on how to evade his attacks helped me with this a lot and that's how I finally beat him once you gave me that level of comfort! Thank you for your help!
Had to take this guy down in NG+ in order to get my bell bearings for the expansion... but after a night of trying I decided to see what I was doing wrong. I forgot about Rot! I followed this guide and downed him in my second attempt. I was a bit too aggressive in the first... I just let rot do its thing in phase 2 on my second attempt. Easy!
You’re a bossman! combined it with doing some summons in the 2nd phase just to keep him away - rot didn’t finish him off completely but they did! Thanks honestly - got him down to like 5 hp in the first hour, then died - took two more hours but got there in the end 😂
Thank you so much!! I had no idea how im supposed to beat this thing but this video helped me a lot! I feel like i should use this dragon abilitys more often now they seem pretty usefull.
i use rotten breath, poison mist and spells. im definitely cheesing the game. also using blasphemous blade, sword of night and flame, wing of astel and bloodhound fang. those feel like cheating too lol
I struggle lol First play through and I have made it past everything so far, except the fire giant. I seem to be stuck, on this one. I will try this method! Thank you!
Spamming Godskin Peeler ash of war behind his foot also works wonders. He struggles to retaliate behind his foot and the huge % hp damage from a full charge shreds him. On a sidenote, once you beat him go back to grace and use the runes. Super easy to fall and lose them after the boss.
That’s so genius, funny enough I actually used the same sword and seal and spells against him. I was about to stop since it seemed like it wasn’t doing anything but ur vid was so helpful.
Thank you, i just got to him for the first time, and kept getting destroyed. I didn't think i could use my rot breath for anything else than phase transitions. 😂
Thanks, dude! Getting the rot on him in phase 2 can be tough but it should work if you run to his left arm like I did in the video. Gotta get there quick and unload the full bar. He's gonna be a little more resistant to getting scarlet rot again so you may need to hit him with a second rotten breath attack in phase 2. You should have time to hit him with it one more time from behind him if the first attack doesn't do it.
thanks bro took me 30+hours and then i saw your video this really helped but for second phase it did not do scarlet rot damage i still killed him tho thanks!!!
I didn't get hit once using my horse while using the river of blood blade max level found at the church outside the arena. You will have too fight a NPC mob for it. You will prob be fine if you use a frost or blood weapon. Aim for feet and stay behind him and use the horse.
I must be doing a lot wrong....Because I'm using Alexandar and the Mimic Tear and I can handle phase 1 but haven't made it through phase 2 yet. Tried a bunch of times. One problem I have is if I use Alexandar and another helper I can't ride Torrent??????
It sounds like you're not afflicting him with the status condition. A lot of people saying the same thing as you werent holding the button down to completely deplete the magic bar. If you are doing that, then you may need to put a couple points into Mind. I didn't have to but maybe it's because I chose a different starter class than you.
@@actintuffgaming yeah, I tried again and held down the bar and it started working. However, I die every single time when his HP is almost gone. One roll and I’m done. I get him to his 2nd phase without even taking a hit now, but this second phase is brutal. I’ve loved the game so far but this boss is just not enjoyable 🥲
This fight was a wall for me on my first playthrough. It's def worth getting through, though, so keep at it, bro! I've beaten him a few different ways so feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to help out.
This is gonna be a big help, got in a competition with my friend to see which could beat him in the least tries. As long as I do it in under four, I should be fine. Also, im assuming I can use any weapon, and don’t have time to use the blasphemous blade?
Use whatever weapon you'd like! Just make sure you fully exhaust your magic bar while using rotten breath. If it doesn't inflict scarlet rot, hit him with it once more and you'll be Golden! Good luck, bro!
Why isn’t the rot being applied in his scone phase for me? I did it the first phase and it worked fine but when I do it on the second phase it just doesn’t work at all even when I use it twice with full cast.
I KILLED IT LETS GOOO😭😭we both had little health and my horse was dead,I enter a flow state and was perfect dodging all is attacks and I beat him😭I’ve never felt this way about a game in a while
I dont understand how most vids i see the enemie looks like it smoked i thick one and just chilling.meanwhile i go through the mist and i get obliberated within 5sec
For the most part, you can make fromsoftware bosses predictable with your actions. Elden Ring is a little different because ending of some boss combos can vary but it's still pretty similar. That's one of the things that makes me love the games. They're about pattern recognition.
> try to find a cheese for fire giant in 2024 > find a promising video > the video repeats what i've been doing over and over for the first phase > i need to toss away my current build for a spell > contemplate on why im playing this game > repeat the cycle
You don't have to throw away your build. You just need enough arcane to use rotten breath. My character in this video is a melee build that just equipped rotten breath for this fight. You'll get through this fight, bro. I struggled really bad with it on my first playthrough too. Best of luck!
I equip the torrent whistle to the right directional button of my bag through the equipment menu. Then, while in game, I just press Y and right direction button to summon Torrent.
Bro legitimately kills the boss: "Hey guys, check out this cheese strat!"
Seriously though, that was clean af! Nice work
Lol yeah def not cheese. Just was so easy it felt like cheese. Thanks, dude!
I can't do it FFFFFFFFFF
Bro is genually the nicest sounding person i've ever heard
Thank you! You seem like an awesome person too!
@@actintuffgamingawww what a nice interaction wtf
This is great
U kno. .cause actintuff an all
Most wholesome thread right here
Man I been stuck on this boss for abt 2 years thanks to you I can finally continue with the game
Awesome!!!! Congrats and have fun finishing it! I've got guide videos for the rest of the bosses too, if you end up wanting help with them
How you get stuck for 2 years brody😂
Nah aint no way 💀
@@davei2938probably just quit the game for two years
Does no one understand the joke
He said that because most of the Elden ring boss vids were made around when they were released hence why he said he was stuck on it for 2 years because the vid was released a few months ago
All we had to do was just killing the damn giant CJ
This video is phenomenal and the commentating is superb. Thank you so much for this tutorial, very thorough with no stress. 👍🏻
Thanks a lot!
Just tried your method after dying like 50 times and it worked the 2nd time! Much appreciated brother
Really didn’t work for me
No problem, dude! Thanks for letting me know it helped out!
@1:12 - for this attack, I recommend not using target lock on as it will more than likely get you killed due to the camera just doing it's own thing
Ive never had an issue with it but I appreciate the tip!
Rotten breath for the second faze was such a handy thing thank you so much also to note I used moonlight sword plus 6 and dragon seal plus 6
Youre welcome, dude! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I defeated the Fire Giant seconds ago, I just want to say tysm!, you definitively deserve more subs.
Thanks, Red! Great job!
I was struggling so bad on his second phase, so this was just what I needed. Thank you so much for such a simple yet effective strategy!!
Glad it helped! Thanks!

Thank you! This boss has always been a pain but with this strat and a mimic I beat him first try!
Bro…BRO I literally thought I couldn’t get through this fkn boss u helped me so much never been so happy bruh thank you 😂
Happy to help, dude! Thank you for telling me happy you are. You're why I make these videos!
The Rot buildup of this spell was nerfed in the October patch so it takes two times to inflict rot on him
Had to take this guy down in NG+ in order to get my bell bearings for the expansion... but after a night of trying I decided to see what I was doing wrong. I forgot about Rot!

@actintuffgaming No worries I might as well subscribe to you. You definitely deserve it!
Thank you, brother!!! dude, I think I died like 15 times. I considered using rot, but for some dumb reason, I thought he was immune. lol, thanks again
Youre welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@actintuffgamingdidn’t work for me
If this is a cheese then all I do is cheese in this game lmao
Lol def not a cheese. It just makes the fight so easy it feels like a cheese.
i use rotten breath, poison mist and spells. im definitely cheesing the game. also using blasphemous blade, sword of night and flame, wing of astel and bloodhound fang. those feel like cheating too lol
I struggle lol First play through and I have made it past everything so far, except the fire giant. I seem to be stuck, on this one. I will try this method! Thank you!
The rot effect is not dealing any damage
me: wow this boss fight looks so easy when he puts it like this, i will try again
me 5 minutes later: i f*cking hate this boss
Clearly, I need to get better at rolling, because I have never once rolled through his shield.
The timing is really weird but once you get it one time you will dodge it pretty consistently
Absolute LEGEND. I've gotten stuck on fire giant, and I managed to get him first try after doing this strat.
Thanks! Happy to help and great job!
Omg I don’t think I can thank you enough, I was not able to beat this guy throughout the span of almost 3 days. I love you
I love you too, man!
Thanks man, this made this fight so much easier!
Thanks for letting me know! Glad it helped!
I’ve defeated him twice before, but never as easily as I just did following your guide. Thank you very much, much appreciated buddy 🤙

I had a hard time with this boss. What worked for me was using rotten breath on phase 2 and it was pretty much a wrap didn’t even have to hit him

Great video. He beat me the first try. On the second try, i smoked him in 2 mins. Comet with Azur staff and using the mimic was easy work.
Thanks for the video.
Scarlet Rot is the most important key in second phase
No problem! Thanks for the comment!
@@actintuffgaming do you have video on Maliketh ? I stuck there now
@@ronaksingh2118 Yep. Check my channel
This mf dodge rolled my attacks 12 times in 1 minutes. Bro doesn't even trying to hit you. Clearly Fire Giant is a paid actor for this vid.
It only took about tree fiddy
this is the guide i was looking for, not like the cheese vids
Glad you liked it!
Thank you sooooo much man I've been on him for days I was stuck on the second stage
Youre welcome, bro! Thanks for letting me know it helped you!
Amazing guide I got super close one time but I couldn’t get him to scarlet rot on the second phase
And then after that I haven’t gotten close again cus he never scarlet rots idk y

Impressive! Thanks for letting me know
I can’t do it without the dodging before
Thank you so much I didn’t want to fully cheese him and I was stuck this help me out
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know it helped. Check out my other videos if you want help in the future!
This was amazing, thanks for the idea! You are a genius!
Finally defeated that beast lol
Thanks and great job!!!
Dude this helped me so hard, I was stuck on him for almost 3 days
Glad it helped! Thanks for sharing, dude!
Seriously ? 3 days ?
No cheese at all. Good advice. It is actually easier without summons too, becasuse his moves are more predictable when you are alone. Imo
Totally agree. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Summons just get obliterated anyway
Thank u bro!!! Start was perfect , 2nd phase i just rode around ahaha
Thanks a bunch got him my second time using Scarlet rot and my mimic. Kicked my but a couple times before that!.
Absolute legend bro, scarlet rot did wonders, thanks a lot
No problem, bro! Glad it helped!
Great guide man. It took me 2 takes with it.
Appreciate it, brother! Good advice with mimic tear
thanks bro took me 30+hours and then i saw your video this really helped but for second phase it did not do scarlet rot damage i still killed him tho thanks!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!
wow...this actually worked SO well!
I couldn't believe it worked so well when I did it lol
It worked 😭😭 thank you soo much I was on this boss for 2 weeks

Thank you so much 3rd try with this strat I beat him
Awesome! Great job!
I took longer than I care to admit on him for my RL1 run. I eventually stopped going for his hands in phase 2 and just hit his feet til he died lol.
Thank you so much! after 10 more trys using this method a cardinal sin was commited.
Congrats and thanks, FBI!
I never thought this fight was hard. I used Alexander's summon as well as the mimic tear and it's EZPZ
Thanks for the tips!
You can summon Alexander ?
@@jermonmaxey5544 Yup
@@jermonmaxey5544Yes. But i think you need to move into his questline for this.

You'll take him down with it tonight. Good luck, dude!
Nice video but i have a question. My rotten breath is very weak and barely does any damage, how do I make it stronger?
That worked perfectly......thank you:).
My scarlet rot is not eating his health
Oh my goodness you made that look so easy, 100% subbed and belled keep the videos coming like that ATGv Thank you :)
Thank you!
The rot literally does nothing against him, I use it and he immediately just one shots me or the rot never does lasting damage

Why the scarlet rotten is not workinggg for me i mean the dragon comes out and hits him but no damage with time is going on
Gotta hold the button down to exhaust the magic bar
Thanks man helped alot

Why isn’t the rot being applied in his scone phase for me? I did it the first phase and it worked fine but when I do it on the second phase it just doesn’t work at all even when I use it twice with full cast.
Try equipping the talisman that enhances breath attacks.
His resistance is a little higher in phase 2 and if you don't hit him with most of the attack, it won't trigger rot.
I feel like 80 arcane and ROB corpse piller is faster and easier. Use rot breathe as well even faster.
You can never go wrong with rivers of blood! I think it's pretty tough to be at 80 arcane at this point in the game, though.
@@actintuffgaming not if you do some farming at palace approach or greyoll farm
I like the new logo!
Thanks!
Literally 3 more hits and he would’ve been done. But his flame breath ricochets in such random spots.
Hes got some annoying attacks for sure!
for some reason my rotten breath doesnt stick to him and it just stops after i activate it??? FIX?

That's infuriating but something you also just have to laugh at because it's so ridiculous 😂 You got this, dude! Let us know when you beat him!
I'll make sure to 😂
I beat him!!!!!! 😭😂
Scarlet rot doesn’t do damage other than when I first apply it. Anyone else having this problem?
Gotta hold down the button. Rotten breath has to do a certain amount of damage in order for him to get inflicted with Scarlet Rot
Seriously. I was struggling. Switched up to bleed weapon. Two medallions negate fire and negate physical damage
Bleed rips too!
