If you want to unlock the Final Lord of Frenzied Flame in Elden Ring, you need to face this fearsome dragon. Follow our tips and strategies.
The Lich Dragon Fortissax is a secret boss of the Elden Ring and finding it is not easy at all. In this article of our guide , we help you find the path that allows you to see your faces with him. His looks are awesome, but not as much as his power. We advise you for combat with the best tricks and tactics .
Where is the Lich Dragon Fortissax?
- NOTE: in order to access the combat you need to have the Cursed Seal of Death . You get it as part of Ranni’s quest. In this link you have all the information and a step-by-step route to obtain it.
Do you remember the room with the Grace next to the mysterious red door that you had to open to unlock the Lord of Frenzied Flame Final ? Well, since this door doesn’t interest you this time, you’re going to go through a hidden path: in this room there is a false wall that opens a passageway to a chest, and behind it, another false wall. Now yes: you have reached an unprecedented place and you must advance in it.
In this underground area you can go on horseback, but first activate Grace. You must go down the giant roots until you reach the forest in the following image . Be careful not to fall and with the giant ants. We recommend doing it on horseback, so you have the double jump as a resource in case the rush to flee from the ants plays tricks on you.
Once on solid ground, in the background you will see a ruined city, and if you look at the small round building in the middle of the puddle, a corpse with the map of the area . This place is open, huge, and full of enemies, so it’s easy to get lost. We advise you to use the horse to climb the roofs and look for giant roots to climb on them to an elevated area. Specifically, until reaching the Grace that we show you in the following image .
Yes, it’s a boss, but really it’s several normal and very weak enemies. First they appear one at a time and then three come together at once, but at this point they drop like flies in the blink of an eye. The interesting thing is found after finishing them off: It’s Fia . She will give you a couple of dialogue options to choose from; tell him you want to get a hug . He talks to her again, fast travels to this same Grace and talks about her one more time. If necessary , repeat the process until instead of speaking, the option to enter her dreams of her appears.
How to defeat Lich Dragon Fortissax
You must approach the fight as if you were fighting any other dragon . That is, always look for his belly, head or legs. In short, stick to his body and avoid fighting from afar , because his flames and magical attacks will kill you easily. When he attacks you with his claws, tail and head, don’t hesitate to block, although they can also be dodged by rolling to the side. It’s not a bad idea to summon your favorite spirit to focus on it during the early stages of combat.
Sometimes it will cause lightning to fall on the ground, although the visual effect will allow you to detect where they will strike and you can move away from the area. When he comes up to charge you from above, always roll towards him . It is also likely that some of his claws are accompanied by red magic; in that case do not block it because it will hurt you anyway.
For the rest, it’s about having patience , because although it is true that it is not too different from any battle with other dragons, it is also true that this one has a lot of life and it will be a long fight. Additionally, as the fight progresses, he’ll also stand up to summon two huge spears of magic that you don’t have to block or roll into; instead, run towards the screen to get away as it will pin them to the ground causing a dangerous explosion. When you finish him off, enjoy your 90,000 runes.
