Elden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree - How To Beat Furnace Golems (Boss Guide)
One of the first enemies you'll see as you enter the DLC map of is Furnace Golems, who are nearly impossible to beat unless you know their weaknesses. These Golems are giants with a variety of huge fire attacks that can take out your character quickly. A traditional approach might get you killed, so you need to approach one prepared with the right strategy.
Furnace Golems are essentially the new Tree Sentinel, as they are one of the first enemies you run into close to the Gravesite Plain Site of Grace as you begin exploring the new DLC map. These are not rare enemies in , as you can spot them from far away. Be careful not to get too close since these creatures will target you from a fair distance.
Elden Ring players took to social media to discuss the unexpected, yet unsurprising difficulty of the game’s crushing Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
When approaching a Furnace Golem, the best way to take it down is to remain on Torrent at all times, break the Poise on the creature's legs, and hit a visceral attack when it goes down. You want to stay right under the Golem as best you can while using Torrent's double jump to avoid huge AoE fire attacks. While doing this, keep up the pressure on both the target's legs to make it fall after a relentless assault.

Description
How To Counter
Furnace Stomp
The Furnace Golem raises whatever foot is closest to its target before slamming it back down, causing a huge fire AoE shockwave on impact.
Use Torrent to double jump over the fire shockwave, but not into the boss' foot.
Fire Fling
When you are far away, the Golem will take some fire from inside its head and throw it a great distance toward you, leaving a large trail of fire from the projectile.
Run away from the boss to either side to avoid this linear attack.
Leaping Wildfire
When on lower health, the Furnace Golem will set both of its legs on fire before jumping into the air, slamming back down to create another AoE of fire around it.
