The Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast is an optional field boss in Elden Ring, found in the region of Mt. Gelmir. Encountering and defeating this formidable beast is a challenge that requires careful navigation and strategic combat.
How to Find the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast
You will encounter the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast on your way to Volcano Manor if you’re traveling on foot. Here’s the specific route you need to follow from Altus Plateau:
Ride Northwards: Begin your journey by riding northwards to the spirit spring marked on the map.
Jump Up to the Bridge of Sin: Use the spirit spring to jump up to the Bridge of Sin and cross it in a westerly/north-westerly direction.
Locate the Rope Ladder: Keep an eye on the left side for a rope ladder at the level of the Abductor Virgins. Climb the ladder.
Follow the Ladders: Continue climbing the subsequent ladders until you reach the rocky outcrop near the 'Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite' Site of Grace.
Approach with Caution: You can either jump up with the spirit spring or use the ladder to reach the beast. Be cautious, as the beast may try to knock you down while climbing.
How to Beat the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast
The Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast is a more powerful version of the Fallingstar Beast you might have encountered in the Crystal Tunnels of Sellia. Here’s how to defeat it:
Prepare Remedies: Due to the beast’s high damage output, it’s advisable to use a remedy mixed with Opaline Bubbletear to enhance your defenses.
Summon Help: Summon a tanky ally to distract the beast, creating opportunities for you to deal damage.
Target Weak Spots: The beast’s body is well-armored, but its face, covered in white fur, is more vulnerable. Focus your attacks here for maximum damage.
Use Your Mount: Fighting on horseback can give you an advantage in mobility and evasion.
Avoid Lightning Strikes: When the beast starts to glow, it’s preparing a lightning strike. Move to a safe distance to avoid it.
Beware of Gravitational Magic: In the second phase (below 50% HP), the beast uses gravitational magic. Keep moving to avoid being caught in its radius.
Counter the Glowing Beam: If the beast shoots a glowing beam from its head, run diagonally towards it to find a safe moment to strike while it’s shooting. You can also attack from a distance during this move.
