A further Great Enemy in the Elden Ring is the Magma Wyrm Makar. Fighting him is completely voluntary and has no bearing on the plot. One of the Altus Plateau's entrances is manned by Magma Wyrm Makar. The main route requires two medallions and goes through the Grand Lift of Dectus. If you don't have them, you can still enter Ruin-Strewn Precipice and battle the boss Magma Wyrm.
Due to the boss's frequent spouting of magma, the fight requires adequate distance. There are other things to avoid as well, which will be covered in this tutorial.
Overview of the Magma Wyrm in the Elden Ring
Magma Wyrm Makar is situated in Northern Liurnia in the Lakes' Ruin-Strewn Precipice. You can access Atlas Plateau by interacting with the Grand Lift of Dectus, and the boss encounter is optional. To aid you in combat, you can call upon either online gamers or Spirit Ashes. In addition to these, if you have completed his quest without killing him, you can also summon the NPC Great Horned Tragoth and Blackguard Big Boggart. You can utilize the Curved Greatsword and the dragon heart you receive in Caelid's Cathedral of Dragon Communion after you defeat the boss.
Later on in the game, you can find the other Magma Wyrms. One is in Gael Tunnel in the Caelid region, and the other is in Mount Gelmir next to Fort Laiedd. You can start from Rotview Balcony Site of Grace to get to the Gael Tunnel entrance, while you can start from Seethewater Terminus Site of Grace to get to the latter. Alexander the Living Jar will appear in both locations as part of his questline, albeit Mount Gelmir will only appear after you beat Radahn.
How to beat Magma Wyrm in the Elden Ring?
The majority of the boss's strikes are simple to avoid and cause little damage. The boss fight is entertaining but challenging due to the variety of attacks. Be aware that one of the primary problems with the Magma Wyrms in Caelid and Mount Gelmir is the boss arena. The latter is located in a lava pool, whilst the one in Caelid is situated in a very small space.
Strategies
There are two basic approaches to this battle: either a melee approach that emphasizes keeping close to the enemy's tail, or a ranged approach that makes use of the pillar to reduce the enemy's health bar.
Melee Strategy
You must remain near the boss' tail if you plan to use the melee method. Hugging the boss' tail can be quite helpful because the boss has a couple slam attacks if you are immediately underneath him. To aid you in battle, you can also call upon NPCs or other online gamers. A hammer is used by Great Horned Tragoth, which does not do much damage but breaks the boss' composure more quickly.
The major thing you need to be on the lookout for is staying away from the magma it spews. You will begin to swell and sustain harm if you stand in magma. However, the Caelid Magma Wyrm considers this to be of great significance. But it is strongly advised to utilize Torrent and Spirit Ashes like Lhutel the Headless to combat the Magma Wyrm in Mount Gelmir. To prevent harm, you must entice the Magma Wyrm of Mount Gelmir away from its lava lake.
Ranged Strategy
Comparatively speaking, the ranged tactic is simpler. You are prepared with just a few long-range sorceries. You can win the battle more easily thanks to your ability to summon Spirit Ashes. Great Horned Tragoth, an NPC, is particularly helpful because he can absorb damage while you utilize your sorceries to charge from behind.
You can utilize spells like Comet Azur to completely deplete the boss' health bar if you encounter him later in the game. Although it uses a lot of mana, if you have Cerulean Hidden Tear, you can cast the spell for longer than ten seconds without interruption if you drink the Wondrous Flask.
It would be preferable to use Rock Sling and aim it at the skulls of the Magma Wyrms found in Caelid and Mount Gelmir. Your defenses will be significantly boosted if you combine Opaline Bubbletear with Wondrous Flasks. For added damage, you should think about employing Shard Spiral or Greater Glintstone Shard.
