How to defeat the Fallingstar Beast in Elden Ring

sportskeeda.com:

The Fallingstar Beast is one of the most challenging bosses in the first half of Elden Ring, and there aren't many fights that come close in terms of frustration. To make matters worse, there are two entirely different fights that involve a normal beast and a full-grown Fallingstar Beast.

Both fights are entirely different because one allows for the Torrent Mount, while the other is in an enclosed space. Regardless of the area, the mechanics of the boss are still the same. It's also a hard battle to overcome, especially for players that are relatively underleveled. Preparations will certainly assist, but there will still be plenty of attacks to worry about.

Overall, the Fallingstar Beast appears to be set up as a mounted fight in Elden Ring, especially with all of the charge attacks that the boss has. This makes the encounter in the dungeon much more dangerous, but it's not impossible to take down. The one on Mt. Gelmir is far more manageable but may take longer to kill depending on players' build and current level.

Tips for beating the Fallingstar Beast:

If players experience too much difficulty in the fight, there is an option to skip the Mt. Gelmir fight. Both are optional, but the dungeon one cannot be skipped for completion.

If players run into the bigger version of the beast at Mt. Gelmir, the fight can be skipped for the time being. The first step is to make it up to the boss arena that takes place in a massive crater.

Once there, a path behind the boss leads to the other side of the crater, and players should use their mount to make the jump. This will connect to the Volcano Manor section of the map and open up a new area in Elden Ring.
