Shadow of the Erdtree might be the hardest part of Elden Ring, and it kicks off with the massive Furnace Golems in the open world. Here is how to take one down.
If you recall the Tree Sentinel ruining your day when first starting Elden Ring, then the Furnace Golem is here to remind you that even your over-leveled character isn’t going to breeze through Shadow of the Erdtree. These towering infernos are as dangerous as they are intimidating, but they’re not invincible. Technically, they don’t count as a new boss, though you could be forgiven for mistaking them for one after they trounce you in just an attack or two.
Recommended Videos How to beat Furnace Golems The only kind part of Furnace Golems is that they are so large that you always have control over when you will encounter them — there’s no way one is sneaking up on you. That leaves you with ample time to prepare for battle, namely in collecting a few key items.
Once the fight has begun, your strategy will fall into one of two categories. If you’re a melee fighter, get in close and stay close to its legs. This is the only part you can damage but also is safe from its massive ranged attacks. However, it will put you at risk of its firey shockwave stomp moves. When you see it rearing up to stomp, call Torrent and double jump over the blast. If it does a full jump with both feet, ride as far away as possible, as this blast is much bigger and hard to avoid.
