fire giant is garbage

[a person]

first phase is alr, he just steps back a ton and its kinda annoying to get close to him sometimes, but second phase is a hot load of garbage. attacking his legs do nothing to his health bar in this phase, and hitting his hands is nigh impossible because of how many attacks he lifts his hands or readjusts them. I literally cant even hit him and when I do it doesnt even show a yellow mark on his health bar

What's your build?

[LuckyCheshire]

I'll ditto, what's your build/stats/weapon level? And just so you know, he has multiple weak spots. In the first phase, his injured ankle, once you break the brace off. In the second, his injured wrists, as well as the giant chest eye.

I run dual wielding with uchigatana (bleed and +13 which is low but it does me well regardless) and rivers of blood (+8) with seppuku on uchi. lord of bloods exultation, axe talisman, carian filigreed crest, and flame resis talisman +1 for the fight (I dont have many talismans for my build), and white mask.

That was my first build almost to a T

You'll get him..just keep proccing bleed with corpse piler. He is a slog and a half.

In second phase always stay behind him and hit him from behind. It does not so much damage but it's a much safer space as attacking him directly.

[Sc0rpiTr0n]

His legs have high damage resistance and high status resistances
but they are safer and easier to attack than hands or eye.

With sufficient Dexterity you can use Godskin Peeler's Black Flame Tornado.
It does very high damage to him, even in second phase.

[SQUID_MCDIG CLASSY]

Just ride Torrent and stay behind him

Keep attacking his "severed leg" (never the other one) and always keep attacking that one leg.
By the end he may get tankier but just keep hittng.
