The Fire Giant is one of Elden Ring's most punishing encounters, featuring two complete phases with separate health bars. His massive size means every attack covers huge areas, forcing you to stay mounted on Torrent for the mobility needed to reach his ankle weak points while avoiding his crushing stomps, fire sprays, and homing projectiles.
Level 150+ is essential for the legitimate fight. You need 60+ Vigor to survive his massive damage and 60+ points in your primary damage stat. Melee builds have an easier time since they can carry more Crimson Tears, while casters struggle with the enormous FP cost of this marathon encounter.

The Fire Giant's homing fireball volley is his deadliest attack. These projectiles track you with perfect accuracy and deal enormous damage. The instant you see him raising his hand to cast them, ride behind the nearest rock or tree - never try to dodge or outrun them as they're too fast and numerous.
