Fire Giant is NOT hard.

[Muse Snooze]

1 try, level 90. Solo. It's SO easy. How are you kids bad at this fight??? Literally the easiest boss in the northern region, frankly the easiest boss of the second half of the game. Total joke.

[Codester]

It is a joke boss. I legit have no understanding of how anybody can die to him.

[ZEbani]

i agree with you. I have been summoned a few times for fire giant and he one shotted almost all the hosts I played with. I do not leave my summon sign there any more.

Players should understand the importance of Vigor in this game.

[Ragingfirefrog]

I agree. I could possibly understand if they have no vigor but even then, it isn't that difficult. I was expecting some ungodly abomination based off of the threads before I reached it but then killed it my second attempt. Somewhat disappointing to be honest.

I mean you can die, it is not impossible but what I do not understand is going on a forum and complain about it and ask for nerf!

[Sabaithal]

I think its mostly just getting crushed as he rolls away? I won't say he was the easiest fight the first time, but I didn't die to him either, so...*shrug*

[MisterRed]

As someone who dies to them 2-3 times per run, I agree, they aren't hard, I die because I'm impatient, they have a lot of HP, and they keep rolling away. Its a patience check, not a skill check

The most reason people seem to use when struggling with fire giant is the health.
Which leaves me to believe that their weapon isn't maxed out lol.

I haven't beaten the game 7 times or anything. But I have done NG+3 and I have never even been *hit* a single time by the fire giant. I do not understand how anybody can when he is the most telegraphed and easiest boss to dodge in the game. You can even I frame straight through his Roll.

Were the fireballs and big attacks oneshotting you?

I think there's a drastic difficulty cutoff between a character who can take a hit and one who can't. There's big windows between his attacks to punish and recover, but those attacks can cover a large range, you'll have to deal with a lot of them because of the gigantic (pun intended) health bar, and it's often hard to tell just what he's doing because you spend the entire fight looking at his ankles while he attacks with his offscreen upper body.

Basically, it's easy to get hit at least once but really hard to get hit a lot or hit twice in a row, which means you can either take it and he's a joke or you can't and it's a camera-wrestling nightmare of a boss.

I think my weapon was +7 or 8 first time I killed him.

It's not a patience check. If it is, you are doing something objectively wrong. Use bleed. ALWAYS exploit boss weaknesses, that is STRONGLY intended. You WILL have a bad time if you fail to realize this, on most bosses. Bleed is top tier on Fire Giant, even if you don't hit his weak point you will be stripping his health off like a banana peel.

That or they're using something he's resistant against, like strike damage.

The rolls only catch me when he rolls in place, usually by getting stuck on something. Not much I can do about it when he does that.

I used frost, which honestly makes no sense how he can be hurt by it. He literally has flame inside his gut.

Read ancient hero of zamor stuff. IIRC they are heroes because they felled fire giants who threatened the lands between, and their whole shtick is frost dex build. So lore wise frost seems to be the implied weakness
