by Farum Azula ‘s Beastman is one of the first bosses in Elden Ring and the one I recommend you do first because it’s a fairly simple boss (especially if you know his trick) and you’ll get some runes to level up. .
Of course, I do not recommend that you do it until you unlock the level up function, which you will unlock at the «North of Agheel’s Pond» bonfire, it is north from where you start (when you go out to the outside world) , just east of «Ruins of the Gate», which you will find following the path up (which by the way you will find the map of the area).
Along the way you will find Centinela Agreste, but this one is much harder and I recommend that you leave it for later.
LOCATION: GROVE CAVE
We can find Farum’s Beast Man in the ” Cave of the Grove “, an area that we will find a little to the West of the path that leads us to “Ruins of the Door”. We will find a few wolves there in the cave, we must be very careful because if several of them join us at the same time it will be easy to die.
As soon as you go through the tunnel, you will have the wolves facing you and on the right a path that will take us to the boss, if we stealth carefully we can avoid calling the attention of the wolves to go to 100% health to the boss. Of course, keep in mind that if you finish with the wolves you will have in front of you a wall that has several Luminous Stones, a stone that we can leave in the field and it will emit a little light; one thing, nothing more.
FARUM AZULA’S BEASTMAN ATTACK GUIDE
It is a fast boss, with powerful attacks and good combos; so from the outset he seems like a very complicated boss. However… this one has a big weakness that makes it extremely easy , a weakness that of course we will mention a little further down.
Regarding his attacks, what has already been said, he has several fast blows and very lethal combos; to highlight one in which it will give us about 7 consecutive hits and therefore it will be impossible to withstand all that damage (even with the shield up), so when you see that it gets very heavy you will have to dodge and get away from it, no more . Try to block and dodge him and control your stamina very well because without it you will be sold; something that you will know if you have already played other Souls, but if you have started with this one, then you will have to learn to control your stamina (green fatigue bar) because its domination is the key to these games (shield raised only when necessary ). necessary and you lower it quickly when not to regenerate your stamina, attack just enough to not spend all of it and not run out of dodges… those things).
And now we are going with its enormous weakness, since thanks to it its offensive power will be quite irrelevant.
BATTLE TIPS
As I have already mentioned, Farum Azula’s Beastman has a great weak point and this is that it has a very low resistance to stun . That is to say, if you hit him hard enough (a very strong blow is not necessary, after all, we have just started the game and it goes easy) he will move back a bit and be completely sold, so you can continue attacking him without this can do anything.
For it to work you will have to hit him with some force. This will depend a lot on the starting class you have chosen and the weapons you have at the moment, but try to carry a somewhat heavy weapon (I know you don’t have much repertoire right now, but I mean a sword is better than a dagger) . In my case I chose the Wanderer class and the Halberd with even its fast attacks manage to stun him; with the Long Sword (the other one given to us with the Wanderer) the fast attack does not do this, but the strong attack does.
Be that as it may, try with the “heaviest” weapon you have (you see that you don’t need a piece of Claymore either, but you understand me) and if the light attack doesn’t work, try the strong one and it will surely work . Once you find the attack that stuns him, it will be easy, you spam him to death and you will drop a colossal amount of life because he will not be able to avoid the hits.
REWARDS
By defeating him we will obtain the following:
- Talisman with Igneous Dragon : Talisman that increases resistance to fire, which will surely come in handy later on.
