Cutting this behemoth down to size is an enormous task… unless you use this “cheese” method.

The Fire Giant cheese method comes to us via YouTuberTagBackTV.

Here’s what you better do.

He is a mandatory boss, so there’s no getting around him.

You need a javascript enabled surfing app to watch videos.

Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?

This is his weakest spot, and you should spend most of your time slashing away at it.

Keep targeting his braided ankle until he falls in agony and enters phase two.

First phase - cheese method

Hop on Torrent and charge straight for Fire Giant.

In either case, you could roll out of harm’s way.

He will sort of glitch his way atop the rocks rather than truly climb it.

He may try more attacks from this position, but they should not hit you.

Eventually Fire Giant will try another attack that will end with him briefly floating off of the rock.

When his attack animation ends, he’ll fall and take enough damage to begin phase two.

Second phase

Fire Giant’s new look is somehow more intimidating than before.

If you haven’t spawned your Mimic Tear yet, do so now.

Fire Giant’s new move set will add fireballs that can come at you dangerously fast or strangely slow.

You may be better off staying in close and just let the Mimic Tear do its thing.
