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!
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.
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!
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!
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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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??????
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!!!
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.
Man I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but in the first phase I rot him normally but in the second one I do more damage than you also but he can’t get rotted, you got any tips or sum? I got the dragon communion seal at level 7 btw. Appreciate your answer man
I don't remember the exact numbers but Arcane was at 16 or 17 and Mind was around the same(maybe a little higher like 18-20?). My main stats were strength and faith so I could maximize the blasphemous blade. Rotten Breath is the dragon incantation I used, but this definitely isn't a build around rotten breath. It was "Hey, I wonder if this works?" and it did lol. I learned my lesson about not including the build in my videos and now include them in each one.
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
> 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!
The scarlet rot works for me, but it wears off before I can get him to the second phase. Did they nerf scarlet rot? Is it’s supposed to wear off after a certain amount of time?
Yeah it wears off after a certain amount of time but you can reapply it. It takes more rotten breath to reapply it each time though. It hasn't been nerfed. People have commented today that it worked for them.
This isn’t working for me I hit him with the rotten breath but the scarlet rot doesn’t damage him after like yours did. Can you help me and if you know can you tell me why he’s not continue ig to take damage from the rotten breath Edit: that might of been confusing I’m saying a can’t get the rot status effect
Sounds like you're not hitting him with enough of the attack. Hold down button until the magic bar is completely depleted. If that doesn't work, it means you're not hitting him with enough of the breath. Just hit hit him with the attack again and it should work
@@actintuffgaming yeah I just retried it before reading this I read other comments with the same problem. My problem was not hitting enough of the scarlet rot because I would miss some of the breath and wouldn’t inflict it
@@actintuffgaming just beat him thank you so much for the guide u got close but could never beat the second stage but with this I did. I’m also running a faith build so I can continue to use rotten breath in the future. Something you could add if you ever remake this video is when you go behind him you can do rotten breath again just incase you didn’t get it at the start of phase two
@@actintuffgamingok i just discovered i was using it wrong. i was hitting rb/r1 button once like shooting a basic spell instead of holding it and doing a charged continuous attack lol. been able to now successfully use it on a couple mini bosses and npc invaders.
It has not been patched. You've gotta hold the button down to hit him with a bunch of rotten breath and that will inflict him with the scarlet rot status effect which causes his health to constantly deplete throughout the fight. If you do it once and it doesn't trigger, do it again and it will work.
If you made it this far in the game, you can beat him. Read through the comments and see some common mistakes people were making. There are a bunch of comments asking if it's been patched but then they figured out what they were doing wrong. Hope that helps, and I wish you the best, bro!
Hey man im struggling to get the rot to do damage over time on the second phase, it always works for the first stage but on the second it does a bit of base damage and then nothing else, am i just hitting the wrong spot?
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.
this boss has some of the worst rng movesets ever and is an annoying pain to defeat- i'll keep trying but the RNG in attacks keeps fcking me over and over and over. Scarlet rot also does NO damage at the end - just if you hold it down till the end to deplete magic. mostly he is not standing still long enough. Ill keep going though - thanks for the tips in the video
Yeah he's def a tough fight. The only benefit to using rotten breath is to hit him with enough of it to trigger scarlet rot. Are you getting him inflicted with scarlet rot and seeing his health bar deplete over time?

Glad it helped! I appreciate you too, bro!
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

No problem, bro! Glad it helped!
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.
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 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!
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
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
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!
Amazing guide I got super close one time but I couldn’t get him to scarlet rot on the second phase

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!
The rot literally does nothing against him, I use it and he immediately just one shots me or the rot never does lasting damage
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.

Blasphemous blade. You getting it from Rykards Remembrance
Oh thanks just defeated fire giant even tho i was gonna use that lol. Thanks tho have a nice day
Man I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but in the first phase I rot him normally but in the second one I do more damage than you also but he can’t get rotted, you got any tips or sum? I got the dragon communion seal at level 7 btw. Appreciate your answer man
You may need to level Mind up slightly in order to get enough rotten breath in one attack in order to inflict scarlet rot on him.
@@actintuffgamingmaybe what was your level on mind in that build?
Thanks a bunch got him my second time using Scarlet rot and my mimic. Kicked my but a couple times before that!.
I do believe you also had a braid holding your bones in place after you tore your ACL
I like to think we paid for more than a braid lol
What level was your blade for this fight?
what is the build and the stats? also what is the magic you used to do scarlet rot i think
I don't remember the exact numbers but Arcane was at 16 or 17 and Mind was around the same(maybe a little higher like 18-20?). My main stats were strength and faith so I could maximize the blasphemous blade. Rotten Breath is the dragon incantation I used, but this definitely isn't a build around rotten breath.

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.
If i use just rotten breath and wait for him die is that enough?
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.

Did they patch this? He doesn't take much damage from rotten breath anymore
It has not been patched. You've gotta hold the button down to hit him with a bunch of rotten breath and that will inflict him with the scarlet rot status effect which causes his health to constantly deplete throughout the fight. If you do it once and it doesn't trigger, do it again and it will work.

Yeah he's def a tough fight. The only benefit to using rotten breath is to hit him with enough of it to trigger scarlet rot. Are you getting him inflicted with scarlet rot and seeing his health bar deplete over time?
@@actintuffgaming got him by now yes :) had to use some summon cheesing :) what a pain.
