Defeating the colossal guardian of the Mountaintops of the Giants in Elden Ring is a major milestone that alters the course of your journey through the Lands Between. Overcoming this legendary boss rewards players with a highly coveted boss soul known as the Remembrance of the Fire Giant. This unique item holds immense power, allowing Tarnished players to unlock specific high-tier equipment or spells tailored to fiery playstyles.
How to Obtain the Fire Giant Remembrance
To claim this powerful artifact, you must travel to the frozen peaks located in the northernmost region of the map. The brutal encounter takes place at the Flame Peak, where the last living giant defends the Forge of the Giants. Defeating him requires patience, careful positioning around his weak ankle, and surviving a devastating second phase filled with erupting volcanoes.
Once the massive foe falls, the Remembrance will automatically be deposited into your inventory alongside a generous amount of Runes. It serves as proof of your victory and opens up a choice between two distinct magical or physical rewards. Players should consider their current character attributes before deciding how to utilize this legendary soul.
Unlocking the Giants Red Braid Whip
One of the primary choices available at Roundtable Hold is a specialized weapon crafted from the giant's own hair. The Giant's Red Braid is a powerful whip that scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity, and Faith, making it excellent for hybrid builds. This unique weapon deals both physical and fire damage, allowing you to strike groups of enemies from a relatively safe distance.
The standout feature of this whip is its unique weapon skill, known as Flame Dance, which unleates a series of fiery slashes around the user. It provides excellent crowd control and can easily stagger smaller opponents trying to overwhelm your position. For players looking to add versatile elemental damage to their physical arsenal, this option offers great utility.
Brewing the Burn O Flame Incantation
The alternative choice available allows players to harness the pure, untamed power of the Outer God of Flame. Selecting this option grants you the Burn, O Flame! incantation, a high-level spell that requires a significant investment in your Faith stat. When cast, this spell causes multiple pillars of flame to erupt violently from the ground all around your character.
This incantation is particularly effective against large bosses or slow-moving enemies that take up a lot of space on the battlefield. The unpredictable nature of the fire pillars can occasionally miss smaller targets, but the raw damage potential against massive foes is undeniable. It remains a staple choice for dedicated pyromancy enthusiasts who want to maximize their area-of-effect damage.
Duplicating Your Rewards at Walking Mausoleums
If you find yourself wanting both the powerful whip and the devastating incantation, the game provides a mechanic to resolve this dilemma. Players can visit the giant stone structures known as Walking Mausoleums scattered across the Lands Between to copy their boss souls. It is important to note that you must locate a mausoleum equipped with a bell underneath its body to duplicate shards from shardbearers or major legend bosses.
By bringing down the mausoleum and interacting with the altar inside, you can secure a second copy of the boss soul even if you have already spent the first one. This ensures you do not have to wait until a New Game Plus cycle to experience everything the giant has to offer. Managing your resources wisely will give your Tarnished character the ultimate advantage in the battles ahead.
