How to beat the Furnace Golems in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree FromSoftwareShadow of the Erdtree\u2019s Furnace Golems are among the hardest enemies to be added to Elden Ring, so here\u2019s how to take them down easily. The Furnace Golems were a stand-out enemy in the original Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree trailer. A Fire Giant boss variant that channels the 1973 horror film The Wicker Man, these monsters are the stuff of nightmares and are the living embodiment of \u201cMessmer\u2019s Flame\u201c. Once you set foot in the Shadow Lands, one of the first sights you\u2019ll see is a lumbering Furnace Golem in the distance and the brave souls may be tempted to rush straight for it, but that\u2019s not always a good idea. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Furnace Golems in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, including how to defeat them. How to defeat the Furnace Golems in Elden Ring Standard attacks such as slashing or blasting their legs with magic does very little damage to the Furnace Golems, however, it does chip away at their poise. So, if you land enough powerful hits to their legs you can stagger them. This causes them to fall over and allows you the opportunity to make a critical attack on their faceplate, which is where they\u2019re weak. Employing this strategy is risky, as being underneath the Furnace Golem\u2019s legs is dangerous, but it does get you away from their powerful ranged attacks. Be careful though, as they tend to flood the ground with fire in an attempt to flush you out. Be warned, some Furnace Golems have spiked armor on their legs, meaning this strategy won\u2019t work. Should this be the case, then use a great bow or spells like Night Comet to assault their weak spot from a distance. This will deal consistent damage, but it can be tricky to land hits while you\u2019re riding around on Torrent and avoiding their fiery attacks. The best way to kill Furnace Golems isn\u2019t always an option, but if you can reach an elevated position so you\u2019re at eye-level with them, you can throw a Hefty Fire\/Furnace Pot directly into their basket which will explode doing massive damage. Again, it can be tough to land these hits, but if you do, it\u2019ll deplete a significant amount of their health. While Furnace Golems are tough to kill, taking them down rewards you with brand new Crystal Tears to add to your Wonderous Physik, and ironically, more Hefty Fire Pots. What are the Furnace Golems? The Furnace Golems aren\u2019t a standard boss enemy in Shadow of the Erdtree, they\u2019re actually a recurring field boss that patrols certain areas. Some are dormant until you get close, while others are alert and will see you coming from a mile away, meaning you\u2019ll have to ride furiously to avoid their powerful long-range attacks. They\u2019re comparable to the Walking Mausoleums in the Lands Between, in that they\u2019re optional enemies that can be incredibly hard to kill. They don\u2019t have health meters like most bosses in Elden Ring and they can be avoided entirely throughout your playthrough. However, there is one segment where you\u2019ll need to actively avoid or destroy one that blocks your path. Should I attack the first Furnace Golem? Those who rush to attack the first Furnace Golem in the opening minutes of Shadow of the Erdtree may be in for a shock. While not unkillable, at this stage of the adventure you\u2019re going to really struggle to bring down a Furnace Golem and are probably best avoiding them until you\u2019ve gathered some Shadow Blessings. Every hit you land on this field boss will barely make a dent, and the hulking creature will be able to kill you and your Spirit Summons without much effort. Think of it a bit like when you first saw the Tree Sentinel at the start of Elden Ring \u2014 rushing to fight it isn\u2019t always the best strategy. Later in the game, you\u2019ll be much more equipped to take down these menacing monsters, but until then, work on gathering your Shadow Blessings. Jumping into Shadow of the Erdtree?
