10 Hard Video Game Bosses With Weaknesses You Utilised

10. Fire Giant - Elden Ring

Releasing in early 2022 to a sea of critical praise, Elden Ring is the latest game by FromSoftware, a company known for its crushing difficulty, stellar melee combat and dedicated fanbase.

While other games from the developer have flirted with nonlinearity in the past, Elden Ring was the first to embrace it entirely as the game’s stunning open world takes centre stage. For players, this offers a whole new approach to its difficulty as there’s every chance of a hulking boss encounter around every corner.

One such enemy that players will come across during their time in The Lands Between is the Fire Giant, one of the game’s essential bosses to overcome if players want to see the credits roll. However, this doesn’t mean he can’t be bested with some careful planning and well-timed execution.

The key to making this fight easier is to lure the Fire Giant from his dwelling place to a nearby ledge. He will brainlessly leap down from the top and deal enough damage to himself to trigger the fight’s second phase.

Elden Ring is a punishing game, so cheesing this fight feels like a small, but significant victory over it.
